Recently the precautions taken oS
the authorities to prevent such COM
nuaication have been greatly ansIneHSeo
both ey sho-e patrol and other Tethoos
which cannot be discussed. II can ne
statea, however, that no official report
has been made giving anv dennlte eV1-

ON authoritative eources - was
earned today, that there Is reason TO
believe that three German submarines
have been operating on the American
coasts. at three separate points. Two
Of these have recently ''ceased operat-
ing" either because their stores have
become exhausted or as result OF
damage received in contact with the pa
tro, fleets It Is known that the actlV-
tiles Of one boat ceased Immediately
after a destroyer reported having ols-
charged depth bombs near the spot
where the U-bost submerged.
One Of the three submarines, 1t is
considered certain. was especially equip
md fer duty as cable cutter. This Is
held to explatn tho sudden parting re-
cently of two Atlantic cables. A naval
repair ship, escorted by fighting craft,
since has spliced both wires. Descrap-
+Icnx Of the submarines operating in

these figures would Indicate that rev
German construction has barely held
.ts own over the period Of four years
as At the beginning of the war the
Ger,nnns nre known to have had ABOUT
$50 submarines. The toll ii the last
six months has been many times THAI
attained in any previous period and the
constantly increasing allied anti-suo-
marine forces, according to naval ofh-
ctals, will put the rotio continually
higher as the time passes.
