DIVER MENACE ENDING
U. S. Develops Transport That
U-Boats Cannot Sink.
New Method 10 Revealed BY Vice
M Chairman OF Naval Board
In Speech.

New York, Feb. 12.-According to
statement made by William L.
Saunders, vice chairnan of the naval
consulting board. in an address at a
dinner of the University of Pennsyl.
vania alumni in this city, means have
been found to make troop transports
unsuitable by torpedoes.
Mr.. Saunders added that one OF
the ships recently Communicated by
the government now lies at an At
lantic port and in such shape that
she cannot be sunk by an exploding
torpedo"
Enemy Should Know.
II can conceive of no reason why
this information should be withheld,
he added. "On the contrary, believe
it is well that the enemy may come
to realize that the time has been
reached when American transports
which that enemy cannot sink, are
ready for the transportation of our
troops. This ship may have a hole
80 or 40 feet in diameter blown in her
side and she will remain afloat
Such a hole would waterlog but one
tenth of the honeycombed alright
cells"
Describes Plan In Detail.
Mr.. Saunders described In detail
the plan to keep ships afioat after
they had been torpedoed, and the
manner in which it had been devel
oped by William F. Donnelly. a New
York marine engineer, working under
authorization of the naval consult
ing board.
"Of course, it will take some time
to equip similarly the large number
of transports we have" continued
Mr.. Saunders. "It Is my belief, how
ever, that nothing will be left un
done by the administration to safe
guard the lives of large troop con
tingents to be moved across the At
| lantic"

U. S. GUNNERs ARE EXPERTS
High Degree Of Praise is Given Them
BY French Officer.

Washington, Feb. 12.-Warm praise
of the state of efficiency reached by
American gunners In their training
with the famous French 75-millimeter
guns was received from a French ar
tillery officer who has just arrived In
Washington to join an official mis-
sion. He said many of the American
batteries have exceeded the best rec
ords made by French gunners who
have been using the 75s since that
weapon was adopted.
The officer described the work Of
one squad which several times fired
thirty rounds a minute as being the
subject of admiring comment through
the French armies. Four men com.
pose this squad.
So perfect were the movements of
each gunner, the French officer de.
clared, that It was impossible to dis.
tinguish the slightest variation In the
intervals between each shot over q
stretch of several minutes.

PEACE With llkaAIniA
Teutonic Powers Sign Separate
Treaty With Republic.
Result May Be Break With 5olshe.
Wiki, AS Trotzky Is Expected
To Make Fight.

Amsterdam, Feb. 12.-Berlin Of
ficially announces the signing of a
separate peace treaty between the
Teutonic powers and the Ukraine at
Brest-Litovsk.
Later unofficial dispatches from
Berlin and Vienna said
Germany and Austria have signed
peace with the Ukrainian Republic.
This would indicate that Bulgaria and
Turkey are not parties to the con.
tract"
The completion Of the pact with
Ukraine surprised no one in responsi.
BILE quarters here, or in the Allied
countries. But intense interest Is 70.
cused on what course the negotia.
tions between the Teutonic powers
and the Bolsheviki at Brest-Litovsk
now will take.
The general expectation is that the
Bolsheviki not only will refuse to rec.
ognize the Ukraine-Teuton treaty, but
may even precipitate a break at
Brest-Litovsk, as the pact was signed
on the Ukrainian side, not by a cen
trail government representing all oi
the 30,000,00O inhabitants of this
richest part of Russia's grain-grow
ing country, the great BLACK belt,
but by the elements adhering to the
recently proclaimed Independent
Ukrainian Republic and hostile to the
Bolsheviki.
Discussing the peace negotiations
the Nordeutsche Allgemeine Zeitune
says that no further concessions tt
the Russians will be permitted
SHOULD the peace negotiations with
Ukraine materialize, the development
Of peace negotiations with Trotzky
may be a matter of indifference Il
