detail as justifying the expenditure Of
the precious underwater missiles.
Recently the German factories have
been turning out smaller torpedo
which is less accurately tested, but
which may be used with a fair degree
of certainty at close range. OF late
very few German torpedoes have
proved effective unless at fairly close
range and it has become unusual for
U-boat commander to make any at
tempt at a merchant ship unless he
can get within 500 to 600 yards.
The Germans are now using two
kinds of torpedoes. They may be de-
scribed as short-charge and full
charge torpedoes. The short-charge is
the one used mostly against merchant
shipping and is fired at 500 to 500
yards. The full charge, which has
probably twice the destructive force
and is better made, is reserved for
men-ofwar. 1t is fired at a greater
distance and Is used less frequently
than the cheaper torpedo.
But the comparative immunity of
attack-despite the loss of the Jacob
Jones and the slight disablement of
the Cassin-is noteworthy in this con-
nection. The Germans hate the Amer
lean destroyers as one of their worst
enemies in their most fertile field Of
action and there is scarcely an Amer
lean destroyer but has had one or more
German torpedoes fired at her, yet
only twice have the torpedoes found
their mark.
The Americans and the British, with
whom they are cooperating so sue
oessfully in this game of hunting "tin
fish" attribute their immunity to the
mobility of the destroyer. The alert
ness of the American naval men, cou-
pied with their well known keenness
for offensive tactics against the sub
marine, have been responsible for their
slight losses. Sharp loolSouts and skill
full maneuvering enable them to cheat
the Germans SO often.

signs of final allied success continue

Tirpitz, addressig the Hamburg branch

1.-THE German people do not want to be
regarded any longer as a pariaa
among nations" Many reports pass the
censorship showing the growing res
tiveness of the German people under
their military masters. The spirit of
revolt is growing among women who
fear the privations of another winter
of war; The Berlin Tageblatt paints
a black picture of food conditions in
German cities, and Vorwaerts, the So
cialist organ, calls on Germany to
move openly for peace.

GERMANS ARE SHORT
OF TORPEDOES FOR
THEIR SUBMARINES
This Is Said to Be Most
Serious Difficulty Facing
the Kaiser's Navy in
Campaign

Base of American Flotilla in Brit
ish Waters, January 1.-(Correspond-
ence of the Associated Press.)-Short-
age of torpedoes is one of the most
serious facts with which the directors
Of the German U-boat war are now
faced. 1t is a well known and adj
raitted fact that German factories are
at present absolutely unable to turn
out frst-class torpedoes in anywhere
near sufficient quantities for the needs
of the submarines. In fact, the under
water craft are being turned out fast
CIR than the torpedoes, with the result
that recourse has been had to vart-
GUS expedients to keep the submarines
supplied with their chief weapon.
Germany's fleet of U-boats must
carry thousands of torpedoes Thou
sands more must always be ready in
reserve. In fact, the reserve supply
should be larger today than year
ago to allow for the more frequent
calls made upon it. The augmented de-
stroyer patrol is responsible for this.
They have made the submarine use up
more torpedoes and have caused them
to return to their base more frequent
ly for reloading.
Eight may be said to be the aver
age number Of torpedoes carried in one
submarine. The number ranges from
four to twelve, according to the type
of submarine The U-53. which raided
shipping off the Atlantic coast of the
United States, carried 10. More recent
types load as many as IL. Mine layers
can accommodate two, four and SIX,
depending on their size.
In connection with this shortage is
the interesting fact that all U-boat
commanders now are strictly "ra-
toned" as far as their supply of tor
pedoes is concerned and are not per-
mitted to waste torpedoes on long
,"chance shots" except under circum-
stances which they must explain in
