paper correspondent who recently
visited Kiel says the German subma-

three torpedo tubes. Their speed is
said to be over twenty knots per hour
on the surface and twelve knots sub

a crew OF more than 100 men.
An important feature OF the new
monster submarines is that they have
noiseless motors. After diving they
move silently through the water and
their presence cannot be detected by
an enemy ship even with the finest
instruments.
Lately the German admiralty ha:
also been experimenting with anothe
