How efficient is this patrol, in
view of the sinkings of the past
two weeks by submarines off our
coast?
1T was sufficiently effective to
protect incoming and outgoing
conveys and all the principal
coastwise shipping.
Sailing Ships Helpless.
ITO date the submarines have
sunk on this side only one large
coastwise steamer and two small
err steamers. The bulk of their
victims have been schooners and
small sailing vessels.
1t is practically impossible to
save slow sailing vessels from
81 bmarine attacks. They are not
heavy enough to mount guns, and
have no means of defense. They
carry no wireless. A sailing ship
can't Zig-zag. She is an easy and
helpless victim.
This thing, however, Ameri-
cans should understand, whatever

U-bOats to our coast:

Naval Official Says It Is
Easier to Sink Them
There Than Off the
American Coast.
BY Henry B. Hunt
Special Staff Dispatch.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 20.
Operations Of German submar-
ines along the American coast
have brought no new problems
to the U. s. navy, according to
Franklin ID. Roosevelt, assistant
secretary to the navy.
Such attacks were fOreseen
when we entered the war, and
the ways and means to combat
them have been diligently devel-
oped.
Roosevelt has had a particu-
larly intimate part in the work
of developing our patrol forces
and our destroyer and chaser
fleets.
In an exclusive interview he
sketches picture OF the U-boat
situation that shows the invasion
of American waters was not an
added danger to our shipments of
men, munitions and supplies
abroad, but rather a dispersion
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1918-06-20

of U-boat activities to American
coastwise shipping, in an effort
to alarm our people and disor-
ganize our overseas convoy and
transport system.
He is confident 1t will have
neither result, and that as vital
or decisive factor in determining
Americas participation in the
war, U-boat activities in the west
ern Atlantic will be negligible.

Everyone to win the fight.
But some days are sad and dreary,

And we dream gold star,

Then we try to change our feeling,
Try to think that all is well.
