 This fact has been public here in a semi-official way together with many encouraging sidelights on the anti submarine war.
 During the winter information from well-informed sources led to the general belief in allied circles tha. giant U-boats would sweep the ocean lanes last spring. These new U-boats, the "submarmc cruisers" of which s2 much was written, were supposed to mount heavy guns and to pc so heav- ily armored as to be proof against the ordinary anti submarine weapons. The Germans definitely predicted March I as, the date when the first submarine cruisers would appear.
 U-boats of the Deutschland class. it is true built originally for com merce, and later converted by the ad- dition of torpedo tubes and guns, have been encountered by allied de stroyers at sea ever since last sum mer. Yet only one of these which has not yet been destroyed is known to have attempted torpedo attack,
 Allied observers of the naval war, noting that these large submarines have been failure, have until recent ly refrained from speaking optimisti- cally on the subject, for fear that the predicted super submarines might pop up shortly and prove more des- tructive than their immediate prede- cessors.
 But the fact has now been made public that at present, six months after the super-submarines. were to have begun their assault on the trans port lanes, not a single vessel of this type has appeared.
 1t is believed now that either they were myth from the start, or that the British anti-submarine weapons, including the vast mine fields sown between Norway and the Orkneys, have destroyed the first types of this kind which tried to get to sea, and that no others have been put into commission.
 The number of submarines put into commission monthly is at present less than it was at the end 1917 while the sinkings are increasing. The captur- ed crews, moreover, show a notable falling off in training. A German sailor saved from one submarine sunk recently declared that his command ing officer had been a Bulgarian, and that seven of the crew were untrained men who had never been at sea in U-boat before.

POSSIBILITY OF
 CAPE COD CANAL
By HOLLAND

New York, October l.-(Special)- )-Al- most a century after cabinet officer recommended the construction of sea- level canals extending from Massachusetts bay to the south Atlantic states another cabinet officer, although at the head of a different department has earnestly recommended to Congress that action of this kind be taken by the government. John C. Calhoun, when secretary of war in the first administration of President James Monroe, advocated with earnest ness the construction of sea-level canal which when completed would parallel the Atlantic coast line from Massa chusetts bay to the far south. Calhoun recom- mended government construction of this kind partly because he believed that an interior coast line canal would prove of great value in time of war, especially if this country were in danger of in- vasion. In addition to this reason Cal- houn was convinced that an interior
