Germans Plan N e w
Kind of Submersible

Cruiser Submarines Heavily Armed
and Armored and Designed Es-
peciaIIy to Meet Torpedo Destroy
ers Which Have Proved So Effect
i've in Hunting. Down the Smaller
Types
Washington. May 13.-Realizing that
Americans and the Allies have gained
the mastery of the present type of sub
marine, Germany now is said to be
planning a new series of big U-boat
cruisers with which she hopes to regain
the advantage in her unrestricted under
water warfare.
Announcement of the new German
scheme is made by Georges Leagues,
the French minister of marine. in an In
terview received here today in an Off.
cial dispatch from France. No details
regarding the U-boats were given out
by NJ. Leygues, but from information
from other sources it appears that the
cruiser submarines will be heavily arm
I and armored and will be designed es-
pecially to meet torpedo destroyers
which have proved so effective in hunt
ing down the smaller submarines now
in operation
NJ. Leygues declared that the Allies
are ready to meet Germanys new eff
forts and that they will not rest upon
the fine results obtained in the past.
I'VE shall not stop" he said, until
we have cleaned up the sea as one

the moment at London or elsewhere.
There are some other questions agitat
ing officers here which the Ottawa re
port served to bring to light. For one
thing, American army officers for the
most part are convinced that the Amer
lean army will never reach its highest
| efficiency under either the French or
British army systems. The relations
between the officers and men in each
army are things peculiar to each army
They cannot be transposed from one to
the other
In the opinion of many officers here
the time is fast approaching when
American officers from the other side
should be relied on for the training of
the American army. rather than veter-
ans Of trench warfare from the French
and British services. Men who are most
insistent on this point of view believe
trench warfare has produced nothing
yet which iustfies the abandonment
of ali other theories OF military opera
tons for high specialization in trench
actions
If America IS TO contribute largely to
the ultimate defeat of the German ar
my. they hold. she must contribute
something more than manpower: she
must contribute to the working out of
new theory of operations which will
bring victory, as trench warfare has not
done For that reason they feel ii a
mistake to lose the dash and initiative
OF the American army in over-traininS
for trench action.

statement contained in the cable

changed or modified in any way.
Director of public information
Nichols said tonight that he had re-
ccivcd nothing further in regard to
the Americans and that the story
was issued as it came to him through
the regular official channels. There
is q possibility OF a mistake occur

Utterly exhausted by the four years

seen their ambitions dashed to

They have seen the end of all
