For Germans and Austrians went

For out of the Hospitable Gate has

tom of English Channel and North
Sea Mine Sweepers do Good
Work.

London.-The menace of the Ger
man submarines and mines to the
maritime commerce of the allies Is be-
coming less week by week. The i'm
prOyement is due chiefly to the devel-
0pment of the listening devices and the
depth bombs carried on the swift-mov-
ing destroyers. The hydrophOne is the
most useful invention that has been
discovered by the navy in it's antisub-
marine crusade, and 1t is being i'm
proved upon all the time.
When U-boat is spotted from aloft
by one Of the alert observers in the
seaplanes which wing their flight over
the North sea and the waters around
the British Isles, he signals the posi-
ton to the nearest destroyer. Direct
,ly he gets this information her com.
mander steams at full speed in the di
rection indicated until he can hear the
submarine plugging along under water
The destroyer follows the U-bOat fOl
hours, If necessary, until the com
mander thinks he has got the enemy ir
the right position for hit, and ther
lets 90 the bomb
= While the number of enemy under
sea craft that are sunk or captured
each month is not given out for publ
cation it is known that it equals tn,
construction of submarines in Ger
many. The greatest blow to German
hopes Of destroying the commerce O
the allies on the ocean lies in the con
Voy system, which is rapidly approach
Ing perfection. When the plan of es
corting transports and supply ship
right across the Atlantic in large fleet
was first tried out there was consid
cradle delay on account of differenc
IN speed of the various ships of whic
1t was composed.
AT the present time conveys are a.
CLASSIFIED according to speed, and

straits and exit from Heiigoland blight
very complicated problem for a
U-boat commander to solve. Hundreds
of mine sweepers, manned by fisher
men and sailors from the merchant
service, are at work day and night
making the ocean lanes safe for steam
ships belonging to the allies and neu
trail nations. Their crews have become
adopts in the art Of finding and ex-
ploding German mines hidden below
the surface
During the year ending in April more
than 1000 mines, which cost $1,000
each to construct, were exploded or
captured by the British mine sweepers.
The loss Of mine sweepers was very
small in comparison. In one instance
mine sweeper found German mine
drifting in the North sea, and towed it
over we'll in toward the mouth of Elbe
under cover of fog. After pumping it
up the crew set the mine 20 feet below
the surface, and IL hours later it was
struck by a German steamship bound
for Gothenberg from Bremen, and the
vessel and her cargo of iron ore went
to the bottom.
The increasing hazard against sub
marines ever returning to port is max
ing it difficult for the German admir-
atty to get crews to man them.

The Hospitable Gate
Bv ABBIE EARWELL BROWN
of The VigiIantes.

Millions entered by that Hospitable
Gate which America left open to the
strangers from all lands. Millions Of
the poor, the friendless, the war
weary, to whom America offered pros
perity, friendship and peace. They
came from the ends of the earth. Ser
bians, Greeks, French, Russians, Ital-
ians, Armenians, Poles-a hundred
races and more jostled over the
threshold. We welcomed them all
too readily, some thought, fearing for
our "unguarded gates" as one poet
called them. Many had not, as an
other poet accused, sufficient faith in
the miscalled "scum Of the earth"
Many of these became citizens, and
in turn helped to order the affairs Of
the great government which had
opened it's door to them. Some re-
manned aliens. But all profited by our
laws and opportunities.
There came war! The worst war
which the world has ever known. A
war of right against wrong; and pres
emily America was in it. But first
by thousands our friends went back
through the Hospitable Gate. Serbians
| Greeks, Russians, French, Italians
how many more?-returned to the
| countries they had never renounced
| to fight for the freedom Of small ma
tions against tyrant foe who threat
ened the very existence of liberty.
Out of our Hospitable Gate they went
back to the ends of the earth; carry
ing to the desperately fighting lands
the news of what American democracy
means. They bore living witness Of
the American idea to the struggling
small nations. In the martyred small
nations they are spreading the gospe
of American brotherhood and hope
In the trenches Of Belgium; in thu
hideous German prisons where Rus
sian, Polish, French, italian, English
prisoners are huddled, there is secre
talk of what America does for he
friends; of her strength, power ant
generosity.
1t will not be forgotten. Echoes will
be whispered when their poor lips ar
dumb. Serbian exiles talk it over II

SUBMARINE MENACE
is DWINDLING FAST

to make the passage of conveys across
the Atlantic and North sea secure. The
greatest percentage of losses by SUBJ
marines since January l has been in
the Mediterranean, and this is now be-
Ing reduced by increasing the number
Of destrOyers in those waters. No sub
marine commander will risk attack ON
convoy which is protected on all four
sides by destroyers and frequently &C.
companied by seaplanes.
Naval experts are confident that
when there are sufficient destroyers to
escort all conveys required to trans
port troops and munitions from Amer
lea to England and France the subma-
rine peril will be practically at an end.
This stage should be reached by Au-
gust. At the present time the U-boats
watch and wait for vessels which are
alone.
The sinking of vessels in the Irish
sea has been due to the fact that the
water there is muddy and not too deep
and a submarine can lie on the bottom
and come up at night. Quite recently
in two instances, when steamships
were torpedoed in the Irish sea, de-
stroyers blew one U-boat to pieces with
a depth charge and damaged the Other
one so seriously before she could sub
merge that the commander surren
dered with his crew.
Pilots Of seaplanes and airplane:
who fly over the waters around thu
British Isles have reported numbers O.
submarines which were sunk month!
ago and are lying on the bottom of tn
channel and North sea.
In addition to destroyers and patro
boats which scour the surface in ever,
direction, there are all kinds of trap
and obstacles placed under waite
which make the passage of Dove
