Will Defy Any U-Boat

 Will Defy Any U-Boat.
 No details have been made public about the weight of the netting used by the Navy Department or about the size of the meshes, but it is said that the net is strong enough to bar en- trance to the harbor to undersea boats of any type yet known.
 The netting on which work will be begun today on the old monitor is already partly prepared for its, use against attempted submarine raids.
 Many sailors will be employed in setting the harbor net. Motor boats and larger vessels will be used in this service. Some of the Coast Guard cutters may be called into this ser. vice.
 With the addition of the manufac- ture and equipping of nets to other navy work in New York harbor, the navy has entered upon it's period of greatest activity in this city.
 A Precautionary Measure.
 The work now being done is undeE- stood to be in the way of general pre- cautionary measures. Considerable activity in this direction began imme- diately after the arrival of the Deutschland showed something of the possibilities of transatlantic subma- rines, and the activity was increased by the exploits of the U-53 off Nam tucket.
 Scattering reports of the clandes- tine entry of a submarine to the har- Dor at New London recently and of the sighting of U-boats off the Allan tic coast have brought home the pos7 hibility that, in case of a war with Germany, there might be attempted raids in shipping in New ork and other harbors.
 One of tle urgent recommenda- tions made to. the Navy Department has been to increase the defenses of New York harbor by numerous search lights and guns of small calibre. The main defense of New York were nat urally laid out to deal chiefly with battleships. Mortars and big guns are of little use against small under sea craft.
 Great Britain recently offered to waive it's contracts for munitions manufactured for her in this country nfcase of need for such munitions by this country. This offer was made when equipment for the regular army was needed because of the danger of war with Mexico. It is understood that this offer covers supplies which might be needed urgently for harbor defense.
 Special wire and other appliances for protection against submarines has been turned out in large quantities by manufacturers in this country for the use of the Allies, and the Navy Department is in a position to get necessary supplies of this kind as they are needed.
 The only naval exploit which has been reported as occurring in any
