 neutral countries but that messages l had been concealed as commercial | despatches.

Various British and Amer ican inventions. like the Listening boat" Admiral Von Capelle declared were other things which prevented attacks on transports.
 Admiral Von CapelIe did not men ton mines or depth charges during
 his recital. He would not admit that the admiralty underestimated the United States as a factor in the war. but declared 1t was known, from England's experience with a volun- teer army, that the United States could not raise many troops in six
 months, and it was thought by the
 time they were trained the war would be over.
