The attitude of Spain toward the
war has been a matter of comment
during the week. II has been known
for some time that the official class
es and the army have been in SYM
PATTY with Germany, and the vio-
lations of neutrality have been
many and serious. Recently the
Americans have found it difficult
to buy things that the men in France
need from Spain. Believing that
this was unfriendly an embargo has
been placed on gpods coming 10
Snain from the United States and
this has had some effect. Moreover.
the sinking Of a Spanish vessel by
a German submarine brought de-
mand that a satisfactory explana-
ton be made within twenty-four
hours. Spain has been waiting TO
s'e the direction that the wind
blows. and any inclination toward
the allies may be taken as hope
full sign.

at several points. The move began
early in the morning before day
light and the enemy were taken by
surprise. The commander-in-chief,

fear Of a further advance over the

By an irony of fate the great YES

are now turned to the service of the
United States. Many of these were
informed in American ports and fell
into our hands after the outbreak
of war. The engines AMI other ma
chinery had been maliciously in
jured with the hope Of making the
vessels useless, but skilled engi-

DEEP SEA BOATS
RANKED MYTH

LONDON, June 4.-Stories of Ger
many's submarine cruisers may be
dismissed, says Archibald S. Hurd,
a widely known writer on naval sub
jects, in an article appearing in the
Daily Telegraph.
They are merely large submarines
such as we have been building" he
says. They do not represent tri-
umph OF German engineering any
more conspicuous than a triumph
our shipbuilders have achieved. 1t
was because of German submarines
of about 500 tons could remain at
sea only short time, were very I'M
comfortable and the conditions were
very telling on the nerves of the
crews that the enemy evolved
larger type modelled on the Deutsch-
land. This type having been de-
signed it was decided to indulge in
exaggeration in order to impress the
world
What is the truth about the Ger
man submarines" he continues,
These cruisers displace not 5000
tons, but about 1900 They are not
$50 feet long, but Jess than 800 feet,
Their speed on the surface is not %
knots, but about IL knots, When
submerged they do not travel at the
rate of Is knots per hour, but APP
proximately 10 knots or so.
1T happens that we have heard
more about the operations of Ger
man submarines than about the British
simply because the enemy offers few
targets for our submariner while
We offer the enemy thousands of tar
gets every week. The percentage g.
hits by our submarines is in fact, about
three times that of the Germans, which
in itself indicates the high standard
of efficiency of British ship design,
construction and operation.
THE work which British submor-
ines are doing is magnificent. Our
officers are handicapped by many
things besides the small number of
targets afforded them. The Ger
mans are able to maintain their cam
paign only by defying every law of
every nation and ignoring The ordinary
dictates of humanity. There is moth
ing easier than murder"

VISIT Of U-BOA7s
WAS NOT SURPRISE
HAD BEEN ANTICIPATED FOR
SOME TIME-HOWEVER, OUR
PRECAUTIONARY ARRANGE.
MENTS WERE NOT COMPLETE.

WASHINGTON, June S-The sub
marine raid has demonstrated the
inadequacy of the first precautions
and preparations for just such an in
cident of war.
The navy had supposed thai its
patrol system, it's plan Of district sur
vey, its air inspection and the rest
of it insured the minimum of damage
before discovery and pursuit. Now it
is is demonstrated that German u
boats have been able to sink ships
within 100 miles of the Jersey coast
for week or ten days before any one
on shore learned anything about it.
Naturally there will be no repeti-
ton of this. The additional precau-
tons are in effect now and will not
be relaxed
1t is really not remarkable that the
Germans were able to sink the
Ischooners and steamers and get away
despite the indications, now so plain,
of their presence.
There has not been a week, since
we began sending troops to Europe
that reports of submarines, on our
side of the ocean, as circumstantial
and apparently as authentic as those
of last week, were not received. In
every case these were investigated.
Patrol boats have cruised thousands
of miles because of a floating spar or
a school of whales. Circumstantial
stories of gunfire, even TO report
of number of shots, brought in by
shippers have been run down to
thunder storms and target practice
of our own ships
The Navy Department does not adj
nit that constant repetition of these
false alarms dulled the edge of their
watchfulness, or made them less
careful in their investigation of the
reports that have been trickling in
from all sources for the past fort
night
The navy folk realized that the
submarines were certain to come, and
they insist that they have been as
thorough and as alert as their facili-
ties and the wide expanse OF water to
be covered permitted There have
been constant inspections to guard
against a breakdown in the watch and
reporting systems and to keep the pa
troll up to the mark.
