American torpedo boat destroyers
have done more to curtail the activi-
ties of German submarines near the
British coast than the combined anti
submarine forces of France and Eng
land, according to the master of
steamer which recently returned from
the other side. Both the British and
the French have paid high tributes
TO the American naval forces now in
European waters, the captain says.
The American feet has been'operat-
ing mainly off the coast of Ireland. 1t
was at this point that the German
U-boats formerly got in their heaviest
blows against allied shipping. The
accuracy with which the American
gunners shoot makes 1t almost sure
destruction for a submarine TO show so
much as its periscope within range of
one OF the fast little American craft.
The arming of all merchantmen al
so has been a big factor in keeping
submarines at a distance, the shir
ca plain says The guns on the mer~
chant ships are manned by the best
naval gunners OF America, England
and France, and the U-boat command
ers have a high regard for their
craftsmanship.
