TEELS.HON NAVY
MINED NORTH SEA

The thrilling story Of how the
United. States navy planted a mine
barrage across the. North sea for go
miles. a distance equal, to that from
New York to Boston, was told mem
bers of the National Geographic So
ciety last evening by Capt. Reginald
r. Belknapc u. S. N, who directed
this remarkable project.
Some called it foolish and others
said it would be impracticable. But
the British admiralty staR hold that
the signing of the armistiee and the
surrender Of the fleet were due dL.
rectly to the stoppage OF submarine
warfare, the failure Of which was ad-
mitted as soon as the mine barrsge
was found effective, the speaker said.
Captain BeIknap said an invention
by an American electrician. OF Cam
bridge. Mass, Was seen to be adapta-
BILE to a submarine mine. The inven-
ton was adopted, and about 500 con-
tractors and subcontractors were en-
gagged for the task of making the
parts of the mines. When they were
made they were shipped to Norfolk,
Va, and taken from there to Scot
land, where they were assembled.
: Captain Bclknap showed pictures.
taken in the North sea, which helpde
explain the automatic operation OF
the mine after being planted by
squadron of vessels sent over for that
purpose. The crews of these vessels
came to be known as the suicide
club" because OF the dangerous ma
ture of their operations. Each mine
was charged with. 300 pounds of
INT.
on the Grst excursion the Housa-
tonic. a new ship. with untried install
Iation, did a string Of 6T5 mines, one
every II - seconds. through two hours
and ten minutes. In later excursion,
ne explained, the Cananicus laid $50
mines in three hours and thirty-five
minutes without break, making a
string longer than from Washington
to Baltimore. ,s

Gardiner DIssents.
The attorney for the accused officer
had appealed from the decision of the
trial board, rendered several months
+ ago, holding Burton guilty and
recommending his dismissal, and the
Commissioners today, by a majority
vote, sustained the findings of the
trial board. Commissioner Gardiner
dissented both as to the facts, hold
ing that the testimony did not con-
vince him that Burton should be pun
ished, and added his personal views
that the existing law providing for
a trial board is a bad one from the
standpoint OF the good of the police
department.

fore the trial board were that Bur
ton struck Waller in the face with
his baton, following this by draw
ing a revolver and shooting at Waller.
Trial Of Burton before a trial board
was postponed until after his trial in
the criminal \cOurt Of the District on
charges Of assault. In this trial he
was acquitted. His attorney then
presented the view that having been
acquitted in the criminal court he
should not be subject to a trial board
hearing.

officers are accused of offenses they
should be tried by a trial board COM
posed of men entirely separate and
apart from the Police Department. 1t
is my opinion that if this is done
much of the criticism being made
against the trial board will be elim-
mated, and until the trial system is
changed in some manner whereby all
members of the force, or any per-
son connected with the force, are
eliminated from passing on a fellow
officer, discomfort, dissatisfaction anG
unrest among officers will continue.
II sincerely trust some means Iray
be found by which this case can be
transferred to the courts that my
Judgment may be supported Or my
action condemned"
TO-. Mr. Gardiner will recommend 10
Congress, if he has opportunity, the
repeal of the present law and the
adoption of a new one along lines
he suggests.
