SIole's DestructIoa vial.


Destruction OF the mole at Zee
brugge is particularly vital. because
hitherto Il has kept the sand out OF
the harbor. Germany VIII have to
begin dredging on a large scale to re-
store the harbor's usefulness. Allied
war vessels will be able to harass the
German dredging feet, and in the
meantime enemy submarines will have
to make longer trips TO get back.
home, thus cutting down considerably
the radius OF operations and capacity
for destruction. In fact, the whole
theory OF Americas interest in often
sive warfare is that nothing should
be left undone to harass the enemy
submarines. so that they will be less
and less able to damage transports
and freighters in these vital moments
OF the war.
Several plans have been suggested
by the American navy and one Of
them has already been carried into
effect successfully, but It cannot be
revealed as yet, on account Of the ne
cessity for keeping the Germans in
ignorance OF the impediments placed
in certain waters against their sub
marines.

number of submarine destroyed or
captured. nor any details concerning
the method OF destruction OF certain

these distractions OF American con
ception.
Naval Men EnthusiastIe.
The time is coming when the British
and American fleets will bottle up
more OF the submarine exits. and when

Naval officers here are enthusiastic
over the feats OF the British at Zee
