The American and the British navies
have Just completed the greatest mine
laying job in history-a hundred times
over.
America did about three-fourths Of
the work. Britain, one-fourth.
A mammoth belt Of mines Of The new
est and deadliest type, many miles long
and many rows wide has been added TO
the mine fields which hem the Germans
closer and closer to their own shores.
1t is far and away the greatest feat OF
ell the war, and when the whole story is
told It will comprise one of the proud
est pages in the history of the Ameri-
can navy.
When proposed the project sounded
dreamy. IL was a dream, for nothing
IKE it had ever been accomplished, but
the American navy was far from stump
ed. Assigned the bulk OF the work, 10
got busy in characteristic fashion and
did It.
First of all, new mine--a mine that
was a mne-was needed. The old mines
might go off and they might not. So a
sure firer was perfected. 1t is the dead
lest proposition ever dropped into the
sea- How it was devised and turned
out, thousands upon thousands, is a
story Of accomplishment like few in the
history Of the war.
Next, mine carriers had to be found
to carry them across the Atlantic. Old
coast trade boats. some antiquated naval
vessels done over in hurry, were pro-
vided Some Hudson river pleasure
