Submarine Torpedoes
Made by Huns. Are
Less Effective Now
Correspondence Associated Press.l

CORRESPONDENCE Associated Press.
An Irish Port. Aug. THE Germans
in their extremity to make their raw
materials for munitions go as far as
possible have stripped their torpedoes
until they are as bare as skeletons
compared to the former torpedoes.
Itseeem the idea of the Germans
to get the highest explosive power at
the cost Of accuracy and range of fire
and at the same time enhance the
danger to the U-boats by forcing them
much closer to their target than would
be necessary if the old types OF tor
pedies were used. But IL has resulted
in great saving OF copper and brass
and doubtless has facilitated quantity
production.
Under normal conditions a torpedo
should be effective at 1000 yards or
more but the. Germans now seldom
fire more than 500 yards and when they
believe they are comparatively safe
they approach much nearer than that
to their intended victim.
At close range the stripped torpedo
is practically as effective as the more
complete types but the fact remains
that the Germans have forced their
submarine commanders to pay in
danger for what they have saved in
torpedo production.
