LAKE TO BUILD
GIANT SUBMARINES

Bridgeport. Conn, May 2f,-Simon
Lake, submarine inventor, has incor-
porated a $l0.0eo,o0o company In
Maine to build merchant submarines
from 5000 to 10000 tons, or twenty
times the size OF the Deutchland, 1t
was learned today. Mr.. Lake is presi-
dent of the new Merchant Submarine
Co. Judge Carl Foster, of Bridgeport,
is secretary.
Mr.. Lake said today If various ship
yards co-operated fully, 100 undersea
merchantmen could be turned out the
first year and 500 the second.
Three foreign governments are said
to be interested in the project, and
two have expressed a desire to place
orders for the submarines.
Mr.. Lake declared the large sub
mersiblcs which would have the dis
placement of a big tramp steamer,
could be managed just as easily as
those of the smaller types He de-
cared they would require crews of
about forty men. The Deutchland. of
only 500 tons. carried a crew OF
thirty.
