SOUNDS BRITISH DOOM.
German Writer Says u-BOats Will
Win in Three Months.

CoPENHAGES. Sept. AN inspired
article by Capt Won knehwetter in the
Berlin Lokdidnceioer gives England
three months more of grace or until the
end Of the year at most, before the Ger
man submarine warfare will result in
her defeat. The writer estimates the
sinkings during August at 100000 tons.
The experts prediction marks the fifth
extension Of time for the inevitable de-
struction of Great Britain through
C-boat ruthiessness.
The writer cites an official statement
that the tonnage available for supply
ing England, allowing literally for new
con Struction. had been reduced by July
| to 1000, 900 tons. Coupling this with
the statement that the 6,100,0 900 mark
in sinkings has been passed. the writer
deduces that England's available ton
mage has shrunk 10 6.5O0,000
According 10 the same admiralty state
ment England must have between 6,000.-
600 and 1000, 900 tons: therefore her
hour is at hand. although the harvest
will delay IL several months.

LONDON, Sept. 5.-The Times's naval
correspondent, commenting on the weeks
losses by submarines and mines, says
the total losses of all vessels, including
fishing craft. for the five weeks Of
August were l06, giving monthly aver
age of 2l.2. against 3O6 for June and
44.6 for April. The average for August
Is the lowest yet recorded. The figures
for the larger ships only show the fol-
lowing comparisons: August 172 June
G01 sunk) 20.2; April G33 sunk),
average 26.6.
He says there is manifest decided
lull in submarine activity. due, he hopes,
taken to deal with the U-boats. Whether
maximum is the important point. he
thinks.
Continuing he says There is no evil
dence in these statistics upon which
conclusion may be based either way.
The fluctuations OF the FIVE weeks Of
August do not show that progressive
diminution in the number Of vessels
sunk which might give substantial hope
We had seen the worst.
There still are many signs that the
nature and extent of the danger are not
realized fully. Its most acute phase
may not yet have been reached, but 1t is
certain the Germans exaggerate the
number OF ships they claim to have
sunk"

ties and Germany Is ready to promise

At the same time Baron Won kuh-
mann, who was formerly German Min
lister at The Hague and claims to hav.
unusual influence over Dutch official-
dom, Is Understood to be emphasizine
the necessity Of Hollands adopting this
plan as a retallatory measure againsr

Won Kuhlmann's power in Holland s
recognized by diplomats here and 1t Is
not regarded az improbable that the
German war party counted on making
use Of his services along this line.
"HoIland Won't Yield"
The German plan would enable Ger
many to concentrate naval forces and
submarines at an almost impregnabe
base at Antwerp. All that is needed =
Dutch permission for these German
naval craft to go through Dutch waters
in the Scheldt en- route for the open sea
Cnevalier van Rappard, the DurgH
Minister, indicated to-day his counts
would under no circumstances permit th'
carrying out OF this or any other pla
which would be a violation of Dutch
neutrality.

Germnny's Diplomacy.
Diplomats here regard it as chsra,-
teristic of German diplomacy to sei1r
upon the embargo disagreement as
means of attempting to influence Dutc'
opinion against the United States. Their
have been for some time indications OF q
deep laid plan on the part of Germany
to win Holland over to the German view
point and IL possible obtain assistancc
from the Dutch Government for German
war plans.
German war leaders have advanced
the idea that the only way for neutral,
like Holland to protect themselves wat
to join Germany in an effort to bring
about peace by force.
This is all in lire with the German
efforts to persuade Holland to allow use
of the waters of the Scheldt for Germau
naval operations.
The German plea TO use these waters
has been advanced to Holland on several
occasions during the last two years. Tht
fact that Germany has spent none,
lavishly fitting up Antwerp as a uaval
base lends color to the belief the Teu,ons
have not relinquished hope of persuad
ing Holland TO permit Antwerp to be
come a base Of operations.

line the Secretary consistently replied
that heretofore unknown freak OF
chemistry was responsible for the fault.
Secretary Baker persisted in the dec
laration that "the mind OF the country
should be relieved by a simple state
ment of the facts" and he advised the
fullest publicity regarding the defect.
The first report of trouble with the am
muntion came from the Navy Depart
ment on May 25 he said. 1t was reported
then that some Of the small arms ammu-
milton which had been supplied by the
army to the Marine Corps was defective.
Later reports began TO come In from
various units Of the army and from
rife clubs that some Of the cartridges
were causing miss fires" and hang
fires
These reports were widespread enough
to indicate a fairly general character
OF the defect. said the Secretary. THE
Frankford Arsenal began an investiga-
tion Immediately. The defect was an
entirely new thing and as the investi-
CATION proceeded il was blamed first
on one thing and then again on another.
The arsenal has now discovered what
it believes to be the real cause. A small
quantity Of potassium bromate has been
found In the pota seium chlorate which
is used in the manufacture Of the prim-
ers In the presence Of free sulphur.
which exists In the cartridges. IL found
the basic cause for the deterioration"
The Secretary said he was not in
formed as to whether our allies had
similar experiences. but said that on
every battlefield large quantities Of am
muniton which had failed to explode
were discovered.
Gen. Crozier told the committee that
the powder formula used at Trankford
