Navy Experts Expect
U-Boats 10 Mine
u. 5. Coast This Year
Successes by Torpedoine
Are Sharply Reduced
By OFF, Shore Petrol
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Naval experts said today that
German submarines might re-
sCrt to extensive use of mines in
American coastal waters this
spring or summer as part Of their
offensive against United Nations
shipping.
This would mean, for the present
war. new development of U-boat
tactics on this side of the Atlantic
The undersea raiders employed
mines in American waters last sum-
mer, but only to very limited
extent.
What makes their use much more
likely this year. authorities said, is
the increased effectiveness of United
States offshore anti-submarine
weapons. Planes, blimps and small
boats in numbers many times those
available a year ago now patrol the
coastal sea lanes and give hour-by-
hour protection to plodding conveys.
BY the end of last summer these
patrols had forced the U-boats to
quit American waters, but Navy men
repeatedly have warned that they
probably will be back.
Opening Shot in Campaign.
What may have been the opening
shot in the new campaign was re-
ported by the Navy April 10 in a
press release disclosing the torpedo
ing of a merchant ship off the East
Coast. 1t was the first such sinking
announced since last August.
The German admiralty's plans for
this years U-boat offensive must
have counted the cost of which
more powerful opposition and in the
circumstances mines are probably
the Germans ace-in-the-hole.
Working by night when detection
is most difficult and steering clear
of heavily escorted conveys, few
subs may plant many tons of ex-
plosives in strategic spots and run
relatively small risk themselves.
To combat this sort of operation
the United States Navy has built
up considerable fleet of mine
sweepers-small vessels which carry
special equipment for detecting and
destroying the dangerous eggs that
the submarines lay.
The Germans used mines extern
sively on this side of the Atlantic in
the last war. They did some damage
| although it was not nearly so great
as that inflicted by other types of
| submarine attack. Naval records
show that five ships were sunk and
two were damaged by U-boat mines
Minnesota Made Port.
| The two damaged were the bat
tleship Minnesota which made port
under its own power, and tanker
which was salvaged. The five sunk
included the cruiser San Diego
which went to the bottom off Fire
Island. NJ Y, in July, 1918.
Only once in the present conflict
has the Navy definitely reported the
presence of enemy mines off the
East Coast. That was last June
when one ship was sunk and an
other damaged by underwater ex-
plosions which the Navy attributed
to enemy mines.
Two types of mines may be used
The most common is that which is
anchored in place by a complicated
chain and weight mechanism. The
other is the floating type, use OF
! which is limited, theoretically al
least, by international law.

Worker Sentencedto 10
Prison for SABOTAGE
Careless War Workers
Assoi|ed by Judge,
Rebukine WeIder, 20
By the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, April 10
George Arnold Steele, 20-year-
old shipyard welder-one of 10
arrested on charges of sabotag-
ing ships by doing defective
Wcrk-was sentenced to one and
a half years imprisonment by
Federal Judge William C. Cole
man today.
Federal prosecutors said they be-
ieved it was the first such convic-
tion and sentence in the nation.
Steele, formerly of Franklin Fur
mace, Ohio, was convicted last week
of improperly welding total of 66C
inches of ship steel while employed
at the Bethlehem Fairfield Ship
yard, Inc.
The other nine men, all arrested
within two days last week, have
been held under $4,000 bail each for
further hearings April %.
Serve in Reformatory.
Judge Coleman, specifying that
Steele must serve his sentence in a
reformatory to be designated by the
Attorney General. declared:
What you have done is serious
very serious. Persons in war work
must be made to realize the impor-
tance of their work. If they cannot
realize it, they should not be there
Steele maintained he had not in
tended to commit sabotage, but
wanted to increase his wages.
The court said that doing war
work wrong endangers the lives of
thousands of people. In your case
there are no extenuating circum-
stances other than that you have
served time in Jail and have a family
to look after. Your act was highly
dishonorable"
Defense Blames Speedup.
Defense Attorney Marion Figinski
of Baltimore, pleading with the
court to suspend sentence, declared ::
II blame the company for offer
ing inducements to speed up work.
He SAID Steele had had only sixth
grade education.
The young welder has wife and
11-month-old child.
Judge Coleman said Steele was the
son of an Ohio minister and three
years ago was charged with shooting
his father after the parent had

NEW YORK, April 19.-De-
scribing Government suppression
and control of the press as a
primary cause of wars, General
Manager Kent Cooper of the As
Sociated Press today called on
The American press to exert
militant leadership to obtain
guarantees of freedom of world
news in the next peace confer
erce.
During his speech at the annual
luncheon of the non-profit news
gathering cooperative in the Wal
dorf f-Astoria Hotel, Mr.. Cooper paid
tribute to the soldiers of the press
and radio VINO have given their lives
since Pearl Harbor while on war
assignments. Those at the luncheon
stood silent for a moment at his
cequest and at the same time all
wires of the organization throughout
the Nation were stopped.
Tribute Paid to Mr.. Moves.
Tribute was paid at the luncheon
to Frank B. Noyes, president of The
Evening Star Newspaper Co. of
Washington, former president of the
A. P. and still on its Board of Di-
rectors. for his almost so years of
service to the association.
At the business session preceding
the luncheon, w. j. Haley, Joint
managing director of the Manchester
Guardian and the Evening News of
Manchester, England, described the
successful operations of British
newspapers in wartime despite seri-
Gus shortages of manpoWer and
newsprint.
The Board of Directors, in it's
annual report. restated on behalf
OF the news co-operatives mem
bership Its confidence that the
entire staff of the Associated Press
will continue to merit the approval
and heartfelt appreciation of the
citizens or this our Nation at war"
The board termed 1912 a year of
extraordinary success" despite diff
culties of all kinds, and directed at
tention to the report of General
Manager Cooper. in which he paid
striking tribute to the magnificent
work of the staff under his direction
III meeting the extraordinary prob
lens of wartime reporting in all it's
elements and to the brilliant work
OF correspondents assigned to battle
areas"
Il maintain there can we'll enough
be some newspaper craftsmanship
exerted in the next peace confer
ence," Mr.. Cooper declared. "A free
press is but one of the things it
should demand. 1t should also take
as its premise the fact that suppress
sion and control of the press by gov
ernments constitute a prime cause
OF wars. This is easily proved.
Guarantees Needed.
Militant action looking toward
what we have and mean to keep here
could gain not only renewed security
for the status of the press at home,
but new respect abroad. Even if it
could not gain any perceptible
change in freedom of the press
abroad, it could at least be assertive
in one matter that affects the press
internationally as well as .domes-
tically.
That 'one matter is to endeavor
to gain guarantees that. first, news

SPORTS PARADE
By JACK CUDDY


NEW YORK, Sept. 16 (UP) -
Branch Hickey cautions: Don't let
this all-star trip to the, Pacific war
theater become a good will tour or
a holiday for merry-making ball
players"
Hickey of the Dodgers, original
sponsor of the major league ex-
petition abroad, urges that the
brass hats of the major circuits
pitch in and make the inter-league
competition ior troops abroad a
"blood and thunder affair.""
SPEAKS PIECE
Now that the war department
has approved the sending of two
all-star major league teams to the
Pacific theater, the president of
the Dodgers felt free TO speak his
piece-and he spoke it.
Il hope that the men in charge
of the all-star trip will not forget
that these players are being sent
abroad to entertain the United
States troops-not to kindle good
will among the inhabitants of Aus
tralia, New Zealand nor any other
island" he said,
ANY good will that may result
must be purely incidental. Be
cause these players are being sent
over to bring major league base
ball to boys who probably haven't
seen topflight play for two years
or more. It's a job to be done for
our troops"
WANTS BIG CROWDS
In this connection, Hickey ad-
vises that officials handling the
expedition slate the inter league
games only at points where the
greatest number of service men can
see them. He explains, sit might
be dramatic to take the teams
right up to the front-right up to
the fox holes; but such a venture
would be silly because only about
one in ten men at the front could
take time out to watch them
even if they did play"
star teams must understand that
Hickey emphasizes that the all
they're going to the Pacific to play
blood and thunder" baseball-that
they're not going on lengthy
vacation. For that reason, Branch
proposes that the major leagues
offer some suitable reward = in
