Minister Of Marine Says Pa
troll Boats, Seaplanes, Nets,
Mines and Smoke
Screens Used.

Paris, Friday, May 25.-(Delayed.)
Rear Admiral Lacaze, the minister
of marine, outlined the means Of de-
fense France had adopted against the
undersea boats in the Chamber Of
Deputies tonight
~ see no reason why ! should not
speak of these methods" said Admiral
Lacaze. 1T would be childish to
think they are unknown to the enemy.
They consist of a system of patrol
boats, of arming merchantmen and
fitting them with wireless, Of sea-
planes, nets, mines, smoke raising de-
vices and dragnets."
The minister said that France had
552 patrol boats in service and expect
ed to increase the number to 900. He
also said the government had 1900
dragnets, 170,500 curtain nets and
5000 twenty-foot float nets, which in
dicatc the presence Of submarines.
Discussing the use of airplanes, he
said:
1--WE have organized seaplane posts
all around the coasts so that the zone
of action of each post joins that Of its
neighbor on either side. We also
have special bombs for submarines
and apparatus to throw them.
"The guns we mounted on the pa
troll boats have been referred to dis
dainfully, but you cannot put ten CEN
timetre guns on small vessel. A pa
troll boat on guard, armed with ninety
five millimetre guns, met two subma-
rines armed with los millimetre guns,
sank one and put the other to flight"
