6OOD Will TRIUMPHANT Under TEST

AS this message is being written,
Dodge Brothers daily, weekly
and monthly production, is at the
highest point in its history.
The most casual sort of inquiry
will satisfy you that this pro-
duction is being absorbed as it is
delivered.
Within sight and sound as we
write, a great addition to Dodge
Brothers immense works, is
being rushed to completion.
The interesting thing about this
situation is, that if is not likely
that half hundred people have
ever bought Dodge Brothers
Motor Car just because they
wanted motor car.
) Of the more than half a million
who have bought 1.-THE over
whelming majority did so be-
cause Of the name it bore.
1t has always been treated, by
the American people in partcu-
lar, as an exception-always set
apart, and singled out, and never
judged by ordinary standards.
1t has always been thought of,
and is still thought OF, first and
foremost, and all the time, only
in terms of its goodness, and the
results it gives.
All Of this is wonderful, in one
way, and quite natural and logi-
cal in another.
II all dates back to the day when
John and Horace Dodge con-
ceived and designed and finally
built the car-after warning each
other, and their associates, not
even to think Of it in any other
terms than the best obtainable
value.
They began with few almost
absurdly simple principles,
bluntly expressed and rigidly
executed, about decency and
honor and integrity - such as
most of. us wrote in our copy
books at school
The Morning Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Okla.) 1919-1927, 1920-10-10

They reduced these old copy
book maxims to splendid and
scientific system, pouring more,
and more, and still more value
into the car, and then marshall
ling all the resources Of modern
maSsed manufacture to get their
product into the hands Of the.
people at an honorable and an
honest cost
These policies and principles
have never been changed, and
never will be changed, by so
much as hairs breadth; and
they have come to be recognized
and accepted as Dodge Brothers
principles wherever motor cars
are driven.
1t has all happened as John and
Horace Dodge planned quite
simply, naturally, and automat-
ically, all over America, and all
over the world.
People do discriminate, as Dodge
Brothers contended they would;
people will find out when a
motor car is we'll built and gives
good service and great good
value.
Dodge Brothers market today is
where they planned to locate
and establish it in the mind
and the heart of every man and
woman who admires good work,
well done.
1t will last, and it will keep on
growing, as it has kept on grow
ing for five years Easter than
Dodge Brothers works could
keep pace with it), as long IS
the number of those who believe
that manufactures should build
to serve and not merely to sell,
continues to increase.
All is well with Dodge Brothers
today, because John and Horace
Dodge builded we'll in the Begin
ming, and because their business
will continue to build we'll until
the end.

the German submarines could have
made the cruise to the American coast
and operate successfully there so far
away from heir bases for any consid-
cradle length Of time.
Anything resembling an attacking
force on American harbors was there
fore improbable. Yet it Sc 9meG from
the first that the Germans would
send an occasional submarine into our
waters, as a measure of propaganda,
rather than for the direct military re-
suit that would be achieved. Ameri-
can destroyers and other vessels were
essential to the success of the whole
lanti-submarine campaign of the Allies.

! to our coast in 1917; why they did
not do so may seem difficult to I'M
derstand for that was just the period
when a campaign of this kind might
have served their purpose. During
this time, however, we had repeated
indications that the Germans did not
take the American entrance into the
war very seriously; moreover, looking
forward to conditions, after the peace
they perhaps hoped that they might
soon be able to establish once again
friendly relations. In 1917 they there
fore refrained from any acts which
might arouse popular hatred against
them. We had more than one indica-
ton of this attitude. Early in the
summer of 1917 we obtained from one
of the captured German submarines
a set of orders issued to it by the
German Admiralty Staff. Among
these was one dated May s. 1917, in
which the submarine commanders
were informed that Germany had
not declared war upon the United
States, and that, until further in
structions were received, the subma-
rines were to continue to look upon
America and American shipping as
neutral. The submarine commanders
were especially warned against at
tack or committing any overt act
against American war vessels as
might be encountered in European
waters. The orders explained that no
official confirmation had been re-
ceived by the German government of
the news which had been published
in the press that America had de-
clared war, and that, therefore, the
Germans officially were ignoring our
belligerence. From their own stand
point such policy of endeaVoring not
to offend America, even after she be-
came a belligerent, may have seemed
politically wise; from a military point
of view their failure to attempt the
submarine demonstration off our
coast in 1917 was great mistake; for
when they finally started warfare on
our coast, the United States was
deeply involved in hostilities, and had
already begun the transportation of
the great army which produced such
decisive results on the Western
Front. The time had passed, as ex-
perience soon showed, when any mere
demonstration on our coast would
disturb the calm of the American
people or affect their will to victory.
The U-151.
In late April, 1918, learned through
secret service channels that one of
the large submarines of the Deutsch-
land class had left its German base
on the 18th of April for long cruise.

use on the Atlantic coast. The sub
marine could see these craft from a
much greater distance than it could it
self be seen by them; and by diving
and sailing submerged it could easily
avoid them and sink it's victims with
out ever being sighted or attacked by
our own patrols, however numerous
they might have been. Even in the
narrow waters of the English Channel,
up to the very end of the war, sub
n arines were successfully attacking
small merchant craft by gunfire, al
though the density of patrol craft in
this area was naturally a thousand
times greater than we could ever have
provided for the vast expanse of our
own coast. Consequently, so long as
the submarine attacks on the Ameri-
can coast were only sporadic, it was
absolutely futile to maintain patrol
craft in those waters, as this could not
provide any adequate defense against
such scattered demonstrations. If, on
the other hand the Germans had ever
decided to commit the military mis-
take of concentrating a considerable
number of submarines off our Atlantic
ports, we could always have countered

war zone an adequate number of craft
to protect conveys in and ont Of the
Atlantic ports, in the same manner that
conveys were protected in the sub
marine danger zone in European
waters.
This is a fact which even many naval
men, did rot seem to grasp. Yet I
have already explained that we knew
practically. where every German sub,
marine was at a given time We knew
whenever one left a German port:
and we kept track of it day by day
until it returned home. No U-boat
ever made a voyage across the Attain
tic without our knowledge. The Sub
marine was a slow traveller. and re-
duired a minimum of thirty days for
such a trip; normally the time would

destroyers and anti-submarine craft
were much faster, and could easily
cross the Atlantic in ten days. 1t is
therefore apparent that a flotilta of
destroyers stationed in European
waters could protect the American
coast from submarines almost as sue
eessfully as if it were stationed at
Hampton Roads or Newport. Sch a
1otilla Would be of no use at these
american stations unless there were
submarines attacking shipping off the
etast; but as soon as the German start
ed for America detail of which, as I

there were indications that this sub
marine was bound for our own coast.
A few days afterward 1 received more
specific information, through the in
Perception of radio dispatches be-
tween the submarine and its German
base; and therefore 1 cabled the de-
partment, this time informing them
that the submarine was the U-15l.
that it was now well on its way across
the Atlantic, and that it could be ex-
pected to begin operations off the
American coast any time after May
9th. L gave a complete description
of the vessel and the probable ma
ture Of her cruise, and her essential
military characteristics. She carried
a supply of mines, and I therefore
invited the attention of the depart
ment to the fact that the favorite
areas for laying mines were those
places where the ships stopped to
pick up pilots. Since at Delaware
Bay pilots for large ships were taken
on just south of the Five Fathom
Bank Light, 1 suggested that it was
not unlikely that the U-151 would at
tempt to lay mines in that vicinity.

shall explain, we always were in fact
informative could send our destroyers
after them. These agile vessels would
reach home waters about three weeks
before the submarines arrived; they
would thus have plenty of time to refit
and t. welcome the unlimited guests.
From any conceivable point of view,
therefore, there was no excuse for
keeping destroyers in the Eastern At
lantic for home defense" Moreover,
the fact that we could keep this close
track of submarines in itself formed a
great protection against them. 1 have
already explained how we routed con-
voys entering British waters in such
ways that they could sail around the
U-boat and thus escape contact. 1
think that this simple procedure saved
more shipping than any other method.
In the same way we could keep these
vessels sailing from American ports
outside of the area in which the sub
marines were known to be operating
in our own waters.
Why?
Yet the enemy sent no submarines
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1920-07-11

to the Navy Department, that the best
place to defend our coast was in the
critical submarine areas in the Eastern
Atlantic, through which the subma-
rines had to pass in setting out for our
coast, and in which alone, they could
have any hope of succeeding in the
military object of the submarine cam
paign. 1t was not necessary to keep
our destroyers in American waters,
patroling the vast expanse of our three
thousand miles of coastline, in a flu
tile effort to find and destroy such en-
envy submarines as might attack the
American coast. So long as these at
tacks were only sporadic and carried
out by the type of submarine which
used it's guns almost exclusively in
sinking ships, and which selected for
its victims unarmed and unprotected
ships, destroyers and other anti-sub-
marine craft would be of no possible

across the ocean. On July 9th / ca
bled that still another U-boat had
started for our coast; and the prog
ress of this adventurer, with all de-
tails as to its character, and probab BILE
area of operations, were also forward
ed regularly. From the end of MAY
until October there was nearly always
one submarine operating off our
coast. The largest number active at
any one time was in August, when for
a week or ten days three were more
or less active in attacking coastwise
vessels. These three performed all
the way from Cape Hatteras to New
foundland, attempting by these tao
tics to create the impressions that
dozens of hostile U-boats were prey
ing upon the commerce and threaten
ing our shores. These submarines,
however, attacked almost exclusively,
sailing vessels and small coastwise
steamers, rarely, if ever, using torpe-
does. A number of mines We're laid
at different points off our ports, on
what the Germans believed to be the
traffic routes; but the information
which we had concerning them made
it possible to counter successfully
their efforts and, from a military
point of view, the whole of the sub
marine operations off our coast can
be dismissed as one of the minor in
cidents of the war, as the Secretary
of the Navy described ii in his an
nual report. The five submarines
sunk in all approximately 10000 tons
q shipping, bat the vessels We're.
for the most part, small and of no
great military Importance. The only
real victory was the destruction of
the cruiser San Diego, which was sunk
by a mine which had been laid by
the U-156 off Fire Island. 49,.

Now the fact is that we knew that
the U-151 intended to lay mines at
this very place. We had obtained
this information from the radio we
had intercepted; as there was good
chance that our own cable might fall
into German hands. we did not care
to give the news in the precise form
in which we had received it, as we
did not intend that they should know
that we had means to keeping so ac-
crra telv informed. AS had been pre-
dicted. the U-151 proceeded directly
to the vicinity of this Five Fathom

mines and then, cruising north up
