BERLIN, Nov. %. Hearty
greetings from your affectionate
German opposition, German Ges-
tapo ="
With those words, according to a
DNB Official news agency ac-
count published today, were ended
81 days of wireless contacts between
the German secret police and Brit
ish intelligence-2l days in which
the German operatives wormed es-
pionage secrets from their foe by
posing as anti-Hitler revolution
lists.
The whiplash disclosure of the
real identity of the "revolutionists'
was said by DNB to have been
given only yesterday.
That was one day after the Ges-
tapo had announced obtaining q
confession from Georg Elser of Mu-
Mich that he planted the Buerger-
brau time bomb intended for Adolf
Hitler. The announcement said FL
ser had British financial backing.
In the same confession the Ges-
tapo also had announced the arrest
of two British secret service men
identified as Capt. Richard Henry
Stevens, AZ, chief of the European
intelligence division, and Sigis-
mund Payne Best, 81, an aide.
Yesterday the two men were &C
cuSed 0f direct cOnnection with the
Munich bomb plot, from which Hit

November 8. Last night DNB dis
tributed for publication an account
of 81 days of coded wireless con.

British intelligence.

news agency said that the contacts
were ended at 1910 am. yesterday

Army Plans Combined
Horse and Motor Unit
For Reconnaissance
Experimental Regiment
For Close and Distont
Work to Get Test in South

A combined hors> and mechan-
lied corps reconnaissance regiment
will be created by the War Depart
ment December / by an expert
mental reorganization of the 9Th
Cavalry Regiment at Fort Ogle-
thorpe, Ga.
The new unit is intended to pro-
vide the Army Corps with a mobile
cavalry regiment of entirely new
type, organized, equipped and
trained to make both close and dis
tant ground reconnaissance, it was
explained. The experimental regi-
ment will be given a thorough test
during the corps maneuvers to be
held in the South this winter and
next spring.
The experimental regiment will
consist of two squadrons and head
quarters troop. One squadron of
three rifle troops, equipped with
horses, will be used to provide de-
tailed off-the-road reconnaissance
Each squadron will be furnished
trucks in which all animals, men
and equipment can be transported
rapidly over roads to the area to be
reconnoitered.
The second squadron is to be
mechanical and will consist of two
reconnaissance troops equipped with
modern, high-speed scout cars and
one motorcycle troop. This squad
ron is intended to provide rapid and
distant reconnaissance for the Army
Corps, particularly on roads, and
to furnish reconnaissance for any
large mechanical force engaged on
special missions with the corps.
A pioneer and demolition platoon
is included in the headquarters troop
to increase the mobility of the regi-
ment and impede the action of
enemy troops.

and mechanical cavalry" the War

noted the quick loss of magnetic
power with distance.
At the Armistice, Britain had 726
vessels of all types engaged in the
perilous task of sweeping the Eng
lish coast for 1000 miles daily. The
sweepers were blown up at the rate
of about one a week during the
entire war, but the rate of loss had
been reduced from one ship for
every two mines to one ship for
every 80 mines destroyed.
OF 23,873 mines listed as destroyed,
more than half were adrift.
Submarine mines accounted alto
gether for loss of 803 British ships
out of 1854 British vessels of all
sizes and types that went down.

u. 5. Experts Believe
Reich Set Mines
Adrift From Subs
Navy Announcement
Seen as Showing Nozis
Seek to Blockade Allies
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A Navy announcement that 80
drifting mines have been sighted
in the North Sea in the last two
days deepened the convictions of
some maritime experts today that
they had been set adrift to make
British waters a norman 's-area for
all shipping.
Stormy weather often has wrest-
ed mines from their moorings, but
seldom in such clusters as indicat-
ed by the incomplete reports broad
cast by the Navy's photographic
Office. Most of the reports came
from the U. S. S. Trenton.
Treaties prescribe automatic de-
vices to assure that mines acci-
dentally set adrift will be rendered
harmless within an hour, but those
af1oat in the North Sea have ac-
counted for most of the 16 ships
sunk or damaged in the last five
days.
Same as 1914-18 Pattern.
The latest development in the
European sea warfare suggested
these tentative conclusions to quail
fed experts:
l. The recent heavy shipping losses
are due to the numbers of the mines
and their free drift rather than to
the perfection of revolutionary new
undersea weapons.
2. Virtually all the mines have
been laid by submarines built for
the purpose.
3. Setting them adrift has raised
dlfflcultles calculated to tax British
and French means of keeping open
vital commerce lanes.
4. The allied blockade and the
German fight to create a counter
blockade has not differed basically
from the 1914-18 pattern.
Germany Laid $4,000.
In the World War, Germany laid
43,636 mines. by official count, 90
per cent were put out by mine laying
submarines, a special type that
originated from the earlier struggle
On the first day of the 1914-18 war
German ship placed the first of the
deadly submarine weapons, each
bearing about 300 pounds of TINT
or similar explosive, in the open sea-
rather than near a coast as pre-
scribed by The Hague 1907 conven-
ton.
To allied protests Germany replied
that the treaty was not binding. as
Russia had not formally ratified it
In later years German mines
were set adrift near the approach
es to the French harbors used by
American transports.
The early German mines were
definitely superior until the British
developed their improved H2 wea-
pom. These were mines exploded
only by actual contact. The United
States Navy introduced the Mark VI
mine, with antennae IS feet long
which exploded on contact with q
ships hull. These were used in the
North Sea mine barrage, and to
sweep them up after the war re-
quired a year of dangerous work.
No Revolutionary Weapons.
Subsequent developments have
been closely guarded, but there have
been no strong hints of revolution
ary new undersea weapons.
Ordnance specialists appear con.
vinced that magnetic mines which
would be attracted by the metal O.
a ships hull are impractical. They
were discredited in 1918 by al
American official board headed BY
the late Thomas A. Edison which

The Delegate said that he believed

with particular respect to sharing

Alaska citizens could better admin

to transfer control of the fisheries,

adverse reports on all such legisla-

However. it seems that there is a
fair chance of securing enactment

tempt to transfer Jurisdiction and
