(Anderson Mail, 14th.)
Cards to this effect have been re-

Is not correct. 1t Is a well known
fact that when the men start across
they are allowed to write card
announcing their arrival, and these
| cards are mailed from this side when
cable Is received announcing their
arrival. The only explanation in this
case is that these cards were mailed
prematurely, as those in possession of

building bigger Subs.

Washington, May Ia Realizing &
that America md the allies have
gained the mastery over the present
type Of submarine, Germany now is
said to be planning new series OF
big U-boat cruisers, with which she
hopes to again assume the advantage
in her unrestricted underwater war
fare.
Announcement Of the new German
scheme Is made by Georges Leygues
the French minister Of marine, in an
interview received here to-day in an
official dispatch from France. No de-
tails regarding the new U-boats we're
given by M. Leygues, but from infor,
nation from other sources it appears
that the cruiser submarine will be
heavily armed and armored and will
be designed especially to meet the
menace Of the torpedo boat destroy
ers which have proved so effective in
hunting down the smaller submarines
now In operation.
