 On July 22, following, he was mem- ber of the crew of the British freighter Aidenwing, which struck mine in the Bay of Biscay and went down. The next month he was on French freighter, again in the Bay of Biscay, when she was torpedoed.
 Shortly before Christmas, 1915 Springer had shipped on the Norwe. gian freighter Frankstream She was torpedoed in the English Channel A few weeks later found him a member of the crew of British transport at the Dardenelles during the evacuation The transport was torpedoed, and the captain was compelled to beach the vessel under fire from the Turkish po- sitions Two machine bullets struck

ONE HUNDRED PATROL
 CRAFT IN RUSH PLAN
Navy Department Officials Con- fer with Builders and Arrange
 For Immediate Construction.

WASHINGTON. May 10-Within a few months it is probable the United States will have in commission the first of flotilla Of 100 or more high speed coast patrol boats or submar inc chasers. Officials of the navy de- partment conferred with builders of craft of this type and planned for their immediate construction.
 The boats will be larger and of somewhat different type from that which it has been assumed would be adopted as the standard It had been supposed that an eighty-fiye foot gas oline cruiser would be considered most efficient but it now appears the navy department wants steam laun- ches 110 feet long. which will be more seaworthy and have a larger radius of action than the smaller craft. Speed however, will be insisted on.
 Details of the armament and equip ment of the new type of vessel are be- ing worked out but probably will not be made public. Experts point out that they will virtually represent a return to the old type of torpedo boat Of the days before the Spanish war, which it was thought had been con- pletely superseded by the destroyer
 Some of the companies represent ed at the conference have built a great many chasers for the British admiralty but will have to make some alterat- ions in their plants to supply the larg- CT craft wanted by the United States
