 numerous enough to play any impor- tarit part until 1920, and then. only pro vided the transport difficulty is got over and the munition industry de- veloped from It's present nursery stage Our submarines will see to the trans ports and America will find it im- possible to create a gigantic industry and a gigantic army at the same time Ammunition perhaps, but guns cannot be- cast in sewing machine factories At present the American soldiers are without either rifles or artillery"
 And at that at,moment there were 1000, 900 American soldiers, in France and we were turning out munitions at rate the German could not believe was possible. ..e j8s M sN se
 The more evident 1t was that U-boat warfare had failed, the more vehement were the German naval authorities in asserting it's success. Admiral Holtzen- dorff, head of the admiralty, announced on July 20 that they were taking into consid eration the counter measures that meant the mine barrage, the de- stroyers, patrol boats and all the new things we were using, to defeat them that they were building many more submarines, and he declared that "nnal success is guaranteed" M e BERLIN KEEPS UP BLUFF
 The Germans never did admit their failure, and even after submarine crews had mutinied and U-ooat warfare had ended with the recall of their sub marines in October, they were still bluffing their own people, As latesas November 5, less than week before the armistice, we caught this bulletin from Berlin: l,
 English wireless service reported, and this report was circulated also in neutral newspapers, that German sub marines had passed Norwegian coast OH their way home with white flag at the masthead. This is pure inven- ton. English wireless has thus again circulated a lie."
 This in spite of the fact that they were all hurrying home, some of them passing so close to the Norwegian coast to avoid mines and destroyers that they could be plainly seen from shore.
 When the allies were smashing the German lines and driving back their armies all along the front, Berlin was flashing out reports of successfully re- pulsing attacks an taking up more favorable positions" When the French and Americans by terrific attacks drove them across the Marne Berlin an- nounced:
 MASTERY MOVE" ON, MARINE
 The excellent execution of the move -ment for changing to the opposite bank of the wide River Marne, which took place unnoticed by the enemy. demon strates today the splendid ability of the German command and troops"
 When the Americans won their nota- ble victory at St. Mihiel we heard from Berlin that the GermanYhad only "evac- uated" the bend" at St. Mihiel to inn prove their lines, and that on the whole the French and American attacks had failed. And General Wrisberg assured the trusting Teutons back in the father land
 The American army also cannot ter rify us, as we shall settle accounts with them"
 Even In November, when total col lapse was only few days, away, they were still talking of the failure of the Americans and the victorious repulse'' of. the French.
 After. the mutiny at Kiel4 and other ports, where sailors took. possession of the ships and started the revolution, they sent out this bulletin, on Noyem- Der IT,
 Concerning situation in Kiel and up risings in other harbor towns; mi Iitary protection of Baltic has been carried out1without a breakAb by navy All,war- ships leaving harbor fly war flags. Movements among sailors and workmen have been brought back to peaceful ways" GLOSS OVER FLEET SURRENDER
 The surrender. of the German high seas fleet was gently termed the Carrying out of armistice conditions at seal" s.H
 But through the marvelously efficient secret service of the allies, particularly. the British, we were kept we'll informed of all that was going on>i in, the German 4-c1rx var,ly 1ro a r.f fnf the. U-boats that we knew when every one, sailed or returned, and geherally- were informed as to its destination and plans ~- '.s-- .ss..s.s .sg.. All the denials of mutinies and re- voltssswere merely. amusing to us, We knew the facts. We knew their morale was shattered. that the allies had "Eot their nerve" l. do not know any dis patch that amused me more than the one we picked up from Berlin Novem- Der Is. This showed that the .U=boat crews had to be reassured that, their lives were safe, even after the armis- tice: that they. had to be- coaxed and bribed before they would venture out to take the submarines to England for surrender.
