'sWe have found that light guns dis charging projectiles of four to six pounds, in hands of trained gunners have been by far the most effective weapon. I know personally that as many as two and three submarines have been bagged in one day in this way.
 "A submarine commander looking through a periscope has a range of vision of about three miles, but he must get his target broadside to have reasonable chance of making tor pedo hit what it is aimed for and as torpedoes are very expensive missile he cannot afford to take many chances on q miss.
 "A periscope above the water at a distance of 200 or 300 yards makes a fair mark for a gunner working from the deck of ship 30 or 40 feet above the surface of the sea. One shot hit ting the mark is all that is needed as submarines are of light construction, easily penetrated and hole anywhere in their shell spells their doom.

German Official Explains
 Detention of Mir. Gerard

London, February 10.-Dr. William Won Stumm. the German under secre- tary for foreign affairs, in an inter- view printed in the Amsterdam Han delsblad, says Germany regrets that she was compelled to take the meas ures she adopted against Ambassador Gerard. but that the United States had prevented Count Won Bernstorff the retiring German ambassador. from tell egraphing that he had received his passports.
 The interview, according to Reuters Amsterdam correspondent, was had in clared to have said that Germany re- ceived no reports from the United States about, the treatment of Count Von Bern storff or of German consuls or German subjects in the United States The Amer icap government. according to the under sea message. evidently had stopped Count Won Bernstorff from telegraphing imnle- 9diately after the severance of diplomatic relations with Germany by the United States and the ambassador had been un- able to announce even the receipt of his from the Swiss government that the ann bassador had received his passports.
 Such treatment, Dr. Von Stumm is cred ited with having said, had compelled Ger many to adopt the measures she had taken against the American ambassador. although she deplored such measures. which would haJ been superfuous with some mutual courtesy.

yer as to show only her stern for a mark, and in most of the cases or this nature so far reported the sub mersibles have come to the surface and resorted to gunfire from deck gun. In this kind of a fight gun mounted on a steamship has a great advantage for the platform offered by a submarine Is an unsteady thing to fire from and. despite the smaller tar get offered the gunners on ships have the better of it.
 Careful observations made during the last year of steamers mounting de- fense guns show that they are in a measure immune from attack, unless it is without warning, as in the case of the California. The number of U-boats that the Germans have lost have made them chary about showing themselves within range of ships on which they sec guns or which they have learned are defensively armed.
 "Other methods of catching subma- rines. such as nets, bombs and devices that the admiralty sets are still being used, but the deck gun on steamers in the hands of good marksmen is lead ing all others in results"

Great Naval Battle Might Follow Forming Lane for Commerce = Country Is Making Preparation for Any Eventuality
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

ny HCUh We ftOHElkTS
 Washington, February g. Especial. Those who be- lieve that war between the United States and Germany is inevitable base their opin- ion on the fact that even if the Teutons, divinely guid- ed, should avoid the destruc- tion of American ships, they cannot prosecute their pro- gramme without totally de- stroying American foreign commerce. It is not to be expected that simply be- cause the Gemans so desire Americans will go out of business.
 President Wilson, as previously re- ported in The Age-Herald, is said by member of his cabinet to believe that the break with Germany, instead
 
 of precipitating the nation in war, would work more certainly for peace. It is thought that he based his con clusion on conviction that Germany, in respect to the action of the United States, would instanly amend it's re. gently pronounced rules of warfare, and that all other neutrals would in- stantly respond to the invitation that they, too, take a stand in opposition to Germany
 But up to the present time Ger many has not abandoned it's previously proclaimed programme and no other neutral has severed relations with the Teutons. It Is believed, therefore. that the President will eventually find 1t necessary in the near future to ask Congress for authority to protect by force American rights and honor.
 NATION AT WAR
 There is much speculation in Wash ington as to the exact course the President would pursue should it be- come necessary for Congress to declare War against Germany. The best opin- ion seems to be that the United States would refrain from forming an open alliance with the allies, for such an alliance would force the United States into contract to continue the war
