LIFE ONE U-BOAT
AFTER ANOTHER
But Hank to the Tales OF
These Two Doughty
SailOrmen

Two sailors of the seven seas sang
sagas of the submarine IN Bayonne
N. j. Police Headquarters yesterday.
When each had recounted his alleged
experiences with the elusive U-boat, the
dazed policemen agreed that Martin Nc
Donald. in for drunkenness, had ex-
celled Robert Davis, held for burglary,
in technique and plot.
Davis, who says that he is also
known as Rudolph Clark and lives at
Liverpool, England, poured his story
into the ear of Recorder Cain, before
whom he was arraigned charged with
breaking into the home Of Patrolman
Joseph Cuddy Friday night.
He sailed last year. he said, on a
British transport for the Dardanelles.
The vessel was chased by submarine,
which shot him in the left foot-he
limped for the Recorder. 20 prove IT..
He then returned 70 England, came 70
New York. and sailed for Italy as a
horse tender on the Palermo, bound Tor
Genoa. But the U-boats were still u
ter him, and sank the ship off the coast
Of Spain.
Davis and the rest of the crew
reached land, and. after much peril and
adventure, he returned TO New York.
and went 70 BayOnne three weeks ago.
After this recital. he admitted 10 Re
corder Cain that he had helped 70 COM
nit the burglary, and was held safe
from submarines, for the action Of the
grand jury.
Lieutenant Martin Cassidy and sew
eral others of the force were still dis
cussing Davis's story when Martin Nc
Donald intruded. fresh from fine Of

MOVES DESCRIBES
SUBMARINE HUNT
English Poet Says Steel
Nets Drive U-Boats from
British Waters

Imagine sixty trawlers stretching a
steel undersea net from the English
TO the Irish coast and you get some
idea Of the British Admirslty's anti
submarine campaign, by which the
German submersibles have been driven
from home waters and forced to at
tack neutral vessels on the high seas"
said Alfred Noyes, English poet, yes
terday in summing up nine months OBJ
servation as an official eyewitness IN
the European war.
Mr.. Noyes, who is to lecture at
Princeton University, hurried to Texas
on his arrival from Europe several
weeks ago, and II was not until his
return to New York yesterday that he
told Of his experiences with the Eng
lish trawler feet.
81 am confident that it is because
the Admiralty has driven the sub
marines from the home waters that
Germany announced her intention TO
create a wider zone said Mr.. Noyes
at the Hotel Algonquin. 1--WE have
1000 private yachts, whalers and fish
ing vessels and 10000 men IN the
anti-submarine feet.
Every boat is armed with guns
throwing - or ii pound explosive
shells and has 1000 yards of steel
netting trailing behind. We have de-
stroyed 200 submarines. All the home
waters are mapped out in blocks and
every block patrolled
II spent many days with the trswlers.
The thing that impressed me was that
the submarine rarely will attack an
armed vessel.
What becomes of a submarine when
il strikes a trawler's undersea metz"
Mr. Noyes was asked.
THAT is a naval secret. Some have
been captured and taken 20 England,
but most of them sink. II is impos-
sible to save the crews. What is done
to them when they hit the net / am
