Washington, June 8.-Plans OF the
navy department FOR constant vigilance
IN American waters against further
depredations by German submarines
were believed today to have been set In
motion. Putting into effect Of the
home campaign known to have been
formulated some time ago has been
hastened by the presence Of U-boats
on the Atlantic coast and the present
efforts are but a part Of a long planned
program.
Future visits Of German raiders may
be expected, it was said, and Atlantic
coast ports must not be considered
submarine proof.
The latest dispatch made public by
the navy department concerning the
raiders was the announcement last
night Of the sinking Wednesday of the
Norwegian steamer Vinland. Of 1,193
tons. sixty-flve miles off the Virginia
capes. It's crew was landed safely at
Cape May. N. j.. yesterday. The sink
ing Of the vinland followed that of
the British steamer Harpathian. Bombs
were used In the attack Of the Vinland.
Huns Take No Chances.
There are many puzzling things
about the raid. The reluctance Of the
raiders to expose themselves to any
possibility Of attack was again demon
strated when the British steamer Har-
pathian was sent down by torpedo off
the Virginia capes before the submar-
inc showed itself. Apparently the Ger
man got close enough to determine that
he had an armed craft to deal with,
then took no chances, but used one Of
his carefully conserved torpedoes.
Tells Of Super Submarine.
The British steamer Harpathian
which was torpedoed off the Virginia
Capes- "wednesday. was sent to the bot
tom by super-submarine. according
to a statement by the captain and an
nounced by the navy department. THE
submersible was described as being be-
tween $50 and 300 feet long. The cap
tain saw no torpedo until the vessel
was struck.

Prepar. to Defend Paris.

Paris, June Sin an article in the
Matin dealing with the recent appoint
ment Of the Paris committee Of defense,
Frederick Brunei, socialist deputy,
says:
.by another drive, made without re-
gard to sacrifices. the Germans, If they
did not enter Paris. perhaps could ap-
proach near enough to hold the capital
under the fire Of long range guns, not
as now for an intermittent lombard
ment, but for methodic permanent Are.
"Such conditions would render In
dustrial life impossible and the govern
ment's will to resist must not be In
fuenced by the fear Of sacrificing the
lives of non-combatants or by fear Of
the consequences which cessation Of
the output Of the munitions factories
surrounding the capital would entail" Z
M. Brunei HI yhly approves the for
nation Of the committee. Even the
most unlikely and the most extreme
possibilities ought to be considered" he
says. Until American contingents can
change the balance of effectives In our
favor, altho am convinced our armies
will keep the enemy far enough from
the capital to prevent the horrors OF
an intensive bombardment, all meas
ures should be taken to fortify the de-
tense and insure the safety Of the aged
and the children.
Capital Can Not 30 Abandoned.
Paris can not be abandoned. II
must be defended with energy for IT ID
la supreme retreat where the fate OF
the country might be decided and
everything ought to be sllbordinated to
Its preservation. So long as Germany
seeks to force domination by force, no
peace is possible and but. one duty Ii
imposed on us-to fight and to con-
!quer."
"The committee in question. whose
duty Is to defend the Paris area, will
not only study plans to meet the threat
of invasion, which is regarded az I'M
probable, but will deal with the prob
lens caused by night air raids and the
long range bombafdment." says Z
