TRAINSHEDS
FOR u BOATS
Germans Built Concrete Roofs Eleven
Feet Thick to Protect
Their Subma-
rines.
IBy United Press. ]

LONDON, Dec. 14.-(By mail. -
The Germans built great "trainsheds"
in the water to shelter their subma-
rinea at Bruges, Belgium, from
bombs dropped from the air.
The sheds have concrete roofs
eleven feet thick, and are of massive
proportions. From eraly in 1917
until the Huns were forced to aban-
don Bruges altogether, 1000 work
men were employed in building the
great sheds for. the undersea boats.
Hundreds Of concrete pillars, each
two feet thick and twenty-five feet
high, supported the heavy roof. Eight
of the shelters had been completed.
and the ninth was being built when
the Germans decided to run along
home.
In the very early days OF the war,
the Germans clearly planned the har-
bors at Zeebrugge and Ostend as
permanent bases and repair stations
for their submarines, the original
boats being built at the Hoboken
works, near Antwerp. The first large
repair works appear to have been
situated at the Atelier de la Marine
at Ostend. but it Is probable that the
docks at Bruges which are connected
with Zeebrugge by ship canal, were
being developed at an early period of
the war.
Largely owing to offensive naval
operations OF the Belgian coast. as
sisted by aircraft, the two harbors
became exceedingly unhealthy shell
tiers for such comparatively fragile
craft as submarines, and after the
bombardment of May 1916. the large
floating docks at Ostend were towed
round to Zeebrugge, and SO up I'd
Bruges.
