tional Alliance.

PHILADELPHIA, February 10-Dr.
Charles j. Hexamer, president of the
National German American Alliance,
has made public a letter he has sent to
members of that organizat ton urging
them to remain loyal to America in the
present national crisis, and advising
them Of the action taken by the al1i-
ance at meeting here last Wednes-
day night. Resolutions We're adopted at
this meeting indorsing the action of
President Wilson in severing diplo-
matte relations with Germany. and in
case of war it was decided to turn the
funds collected for German war relief
over to the American Red Cross.
In his letter DR.. Hexamer said:
Il beg leave to inform you that on
Wednesday night the directors of the
national finance committee of the Ma
tional German American Alliance for
|AlIeviating Suffering met with me, and
that we resolved that if war should be
declared all collections for the German
Red Cross and for widows and orphans
shall be stopped, and that only collec-
lions to aid the United States shall be
continued.
The National German American Alli-
ance must. in this crisis, stand on the
same high plane of absolutely Ameri-
can patriotism which it has always up
held. and unless it does it has no right
to exist in our country

GUNS MOST EFFECTIVE
SUBMARINE WEAPONS
Entente Lilies Find Direct Gunfre
From Decks Of Warships Leads
Ill Other Methods.

NEW YORK, February 10.-Although
figures to show the number Of sub
marines destroyed by the entente allies
and the means used in their destruction
are unavailable owing to the rigid CEN
sorship on war activities, it is learned
from authoritative sources that d.
rect gunf1re from the decks of war
ships and auxiliary vessels has been
the most effective method employed
thus far. To combat the submarine
menace, the British government and her
allies have adopted various plans to
catch the undersea boats, although
some Of them have been abandoned as
ineffective A marine authority Of un-
questioned standing who is close to
British shipping interests said when
asked as to the effectiveness of armine
ships:
charging projectiles of four to SIX
pounds, in the hands of trained gun
ners, have been by far the most effec-
tive weapon. I know personally that
as many as two and three submarines
have been bagged in one day in this
way.
"a submarine commander looking
through a periscope has range OF
vision Of about three miles. but he
must get his target broadside on to
have a reasonable chance of making a
torpedo hit what it is aimed for. and as
torpedoes are a very expensive missile
he cannot afford to take many chances
on a miss.
Fair Nark for Gunner.
"a periscope above the water at
distance of 200 or 800 yards makes
fair mark for a gunner working from
the deck of a ship, thirty or forty feet
above the surface of the sea. One shot
hitting the mark is all that is needed
as the submarines are of light con-
struction. easily penetrated and hole
anywhere in their shell spells their
doom.
cit is seldom that torpedo IS fired
when a threatened ship can SO nnaneu-
yer as to show only her stern for a
mark, and in most of the cases of this
nature so far reported the submersibles
have come to the surface and resorted
to gunf1re from deck gun. In this
kind of a fight a gun mounted on a
steamship has a great advantage, for
the platform offered by submarine is
an unsteady thing to fire from, and, de-
spite the smaller target offered, the
gunners on ships have the better of 1t
Careful observations made during
the last year of steamers mounting de-
Tense guns show that they are in q
measure immune from attack-unless
it is without warning, as in the case OF
the California. The number of U-boats
that the Germans have lost have made
them chary about showing themselves
| within range of ships on which they
see guns or which they have learned
are defensively armed.
"Other methods of catching subma-
rines such as nets, bombs and devices

! ing used. but the deck gun on steam
ers in the hands of good marksmen is
