that the mines newly placed by the
British in the war zone off the German coast
nave recently been destroying many sub
marines, and that these results have greatly
heartened the British Admiralty" will be
received with mixed emotions of gratifca ton
and wonder on this side the sea
The qualification. of course will be that
submarines in any considerable number have
been destroyed. while the wonder will be in
spired by the fact that the placing of these
mines mas been so long delayed TO the

compishment would compensate for the loss
