In the true analysis the most eHec-

large portion of the world, and partic-

U-B0ATS HERE ARE
OF CRUISER TYPE
Probably Like Deutschland
and of Low Speed, IL
Knots at Best.
LET TRANSPORTS ALONE
Have Been Sighted and At
tackled Several Times by
Naval Patrols.

WARRINGTON, Aug. 15.--German sub
marines carrying out raids in American
waters are OF the cruiser type. probably
converted merchantmen like the Deutsch-
land. which made two peaceful trips to
the United States before this country
entered the war. They are low speed
craft with great cruising radius. carry
ing large crews, So inch guns and mine
Ia ying equipment as well as torpedoes.
These conclusions have been drawn by
naval officers from detailed reports
gathered since the U-boats first ap-
peared of the Atlantic coast last May.
The largest probably 10 not more than
800 feet long and officers are satisfied
they arc not the super submarines which
frequent reports Of late have said Ger
many was building.
1t may now be stated that the raiders
have made no effort to attack troop
ships leaving for Europe and that none
of them ever has been sighted by out
bound transports or conveying warshps.
This fact, together with the general
character Of the operations OF the sub
mersibles, IL accepted here generally as
proof that the sole purpose OF the raids
10 to hinder commerce as much as pos
-sfhleA end incidentally. to carry the Ger
man campaign Of 'frightfulness' to the
United States.
The Germans are believed to have
turned out six merchant submarines and
two Of them. the Deutschland and
Bremen. are known to have been COM
pleted before this country declared war.
At least one and possibly two OF these
vessels ore believed to have been de-
stroyed. but the others unquest!onapiy

mount much larger guns than the ordi-
nary U-boat, and this accounts for the
fact that they have outranged nearly all
Of the armed merchantmen when they
dared to attack.
Speed has been sacrificed to cruising
radius, and IL Is estimated that their
maximum surface speed Is not more
than twelve knots. while they probably
cannot do better than ak submerged.
Their slowness. officers say, makes
them unsuitable for operations IN the
war zone. where speedy 'destroyers are
constantly on guard, and they have been
employed largely In sporadic raiding ex-
petitions.
Tho cruisers are believed to have made
their mat appearance In the Azores last
fall, where a port was shelled until an
American naval collier drove on the en-
envy with ahellnre. Later the coast OF
Lberia was bombarded.
During their operations In American
waters the raiders have been sighted by
naval patrols at various times. and
some few attacks by seaplanes. destroy
ers and submarine chasers have been
.uade, but\so far az has been established
none Of the craft has been destroyed.
They are VERY wary of warships. and
the quickness with which they submerge,
even at the approach OF the smaller sub
marine chasers. tends to support the
generally accepted view that their COM
manders have been instructed not to
expose them to serious attacx

Meanwhile the American and English

tention that Mexico:s action Is of adj
vantage to Germany, quote Manager
BALM Of the Hamburg-American Line,

the war Is over we are assured of ex-
tensive oil possessions overseas"
The Allies need this year 100000, 900
barrels Of crude oil. for which thew de-
pend entirely upon the United States.
The United States can produce not over

can supply 130, 900 barrels.
All the oil in Mexico is owned by
American and British companies I'm
der the latest decree Mexico attempts
TO make oil the property Of tho nation.
Mexican petroleum then would become
a nationally owned contraband and as
such might not be sold by a neutral
country to q belligerent under interna-
