STILL FOR
SUBMARINE
Especial to The Times. }

AMSTERDAM, April 19.-Von
Capelle, German minister of the
navy, otld the reichstag main COM
mittee that U-boat sinkings are
now three to six times as great as
the new construction, that the
American desroyers are a failure
as anti-submarine fighters, and
that new U-boat construction ex-
ceeds the losses.
Another thing must be taken
into consideration" he went on.
''Henceforth every ship sunk
strikes at vital nerve of our OPP
ponents, for when only absolutely
necessary can be transported even
the loss of small ship has quite
different significance as COM
pared whit he beginning Of the
U-boat war.
Under these circumstances
even the greatest pessimist must
say that the position of our OPP
ponents is deteriorating rapidly,
and any doubt regarding the final
success of the U-boat war is un.
justified.

The enormous strength OF the con-
dor is equnled by his voracIty and
holiness. This immense bird often
pounces upon small animals. but from
the shape and bluntncss Of his claws
1t Ia unable to carry anything very
heavy, 80 he contents himself with fix.
ing 1t against the ground with one OF
his claws. while with the other and
his powerful beak he rends 1t to pieces.
Gorged with food. the bird then be-
comes incapable of flight and may be
approached. but any attempt ut cup
turc IL furiously resisted. An Amerl-
can traveller In the Andes encountered
large condor Just after 1t had tin-
ished 4 hearty banquet on young
sheep and foolishly attempted to seize
the bird. with the result TINT he re-
ceived \ cash from its claw. Then he
called up his two guides, and the three
men Unanswered to take the bird alive.
But every attempt was frustrated. and
In the end one of the men killed 1t by
