abled Ia give the names OF moro than

partment to change the estimates
that only ll2 American soldiers were

additional names TO come in slowly,
could give no assurances as TO when
the list would be complete.

being recorded on the sailing list
and also that members of the crew

EXPLAINS SPIRIT
OF NAVAL EXPERTS
Campaign Mapped Out
Which Is Expected to
Eliminate U-Boats
CBy Associated Press.l

New York, Feb. 11.-Means have
been found to make troop transports
unsuitable by submarine, according
TO statement made Saturday night
by William L. Saunders, vice chair
man OF the naval consulting board in
an address in this city.
Mr.. Saunders said that one OF the
ships recently. Communicated by the
government now lies at an Atlantic
port and in such shape that she can
not be sunk by an exploding
torpedo"
Il can conceive Of no reason why
this information should be withheld. :"
ne added. "On the contrary believe
1t is we'll that the enemy may come
to realize that the time has been
reached when American transports
are ready for the transportation Of
our troops which that enemy cannot
sink. The ship may have a hole 80
or 40 feet in diameter blown in her
side, and she will remain afioat. Such
hole would waterlog but one-tenth
OF the honeycombed air tight cells"
Confidence Justified.
Washington, Feb. Announce
ment by Vice Chairman Saunders Of
the naval consulting board that
means had been found to make troop
ships virtually unsuitable, lends new
meaning to the air Of confidence with
which both American and British
naval authorities are facing their
task Of clearing the seas OF U-boatg.
Recent statements by Admiral
Jellicoe, formerly first sea lord of the
British admiralty, by Secretary
Daniels and other officials have indi-
Gated that a campaign has been
out, and the instrumentalities
developed which are expected to curb,
II not eliminate the submarines en-
tirely within the next few months.
Discussion of the devices develop
ed, is deplored by officials here.
