DESTROYING SUBMARINES.
French Use Efficient Method Navy
Minister Tells Deputies.


Minister Tells Deputies.
Paris, June S.--Rear Admiral La
Gaze, minister Of marine, announced
in the chamber of deputies Yesterday
that the proportion of submarines
sunk has increased markedly, adding:
"We are employing very efficient
method and we are able to see the
possibility of developing this methoa
so as to render it more efficacious.
The minister, reviewing the sub
marine situation, said that Germany
had announced a blockade and had
fixed a certain date. The result had
been that the allies were not blocked
ed; their ships had gone wherever
it was necessary to go. At no mo,
ment could any one say France hae
been blockaded, either near at hanc
or at a distant point.
Admiral I.acaze took occasion II
the chamber to reply to certain crltl
cisms of the navy and concerning
the loss of various ships. Fighter
hundred voyages, he said, had beer
made by cruisers between Algeria
and France. and only the Medperd;
had been sunk. The commander o.
the vessel was responsible for having
chosen his own routes.
