BERLIN, Feb! 24.-''By a hairs
breadth Germany would have won
everlasting freedom OF the seas
for the worlds seafaring nations.
Her most formidable laval weapon,
the U-boats, had reached a. stage
Of technical perfection in the
eleventh hour. when the revolution
suddenly shattered all hopes of full.
filling this world mission" claims
Commander Johannes Spiess, sub
marine veteran of the German
navy, in his book, entitled six
Years Submarine Raids" just pub
lished.
With Grand Admiral Won Tirpitz.
Spiess condemns early restricted
submarine warfare as premature
and inefficient.
Spiess charges the admiralty
with negligence and unprepated-
ness concerning the eastern theater
OF naval war. He gives thrilling
description Of the dangers OF navi-
eating in Russian waters, with
Russian and British maps, instead
Of German maps that WERE lacking,
and praises the RussianS as mas
ters Of skillful defensive mine
warfare.
Sub War Too Late.
Once more in agreement with
Tirpitz, Spiess holds that the
proclamation OF unrestricted sub
marine warfare" in 1917 came 100
late. BY this time England hcd
already devised defensive measuI es,
such as conveys and specially con
structed auxiliary craft like the
so-called Mystery Boats"
Spiess gives a vivid description
of how his own boat, in the North
sea, was on the point Of torpedo
ing the U-Deutschland, the famous
submarine cruiser which made two
trips to the United States, when,
at the last moment, the Deutsch-
land signaled, I'VE are German
The Deutschland was making a
trial cruise upon orders of the Ber-
lin staff. which had not informed
the front command at Wilhelms-
haven.
Rebels Surrender.
Spiess,. in command of, one of the
most powerful U+boats, was ordered
to sink the battleship Thueringen
without notice, if the mutineers did
not surrender. They did surrender
a few minutes before Spiess was
ready to discharge the torpedo.
Order could have been restored
by energetic measures, by execut
ing some dozens or smutineers or
the spot. : But the, commander-in-
chief decided differently and sent
the battle fleet to Kie1 where in
the meantime the revolutionaries
had gained the upper hand on land.
"A powerful navy, undoubtedly
the second-best in the world was
thus knocked out by its own people
and deprived of the chance to help
in winning the freedom Of the seas
for the rest Of the world after the
military leaders Of this nation hal
missed the chance to deliver such
a decisive blow by ruthless sub
marine warfare is the summary
uf the last chapter Of Spiess' book.
