London.— One of the methods by
which, as the first sea lord, Sir Eric
Gcddes said recently, the submarine
menace Is being “ held,” is vividly de
scribed by a writer in the Liverpool
Journal o f Commerce.
A seaplane hud “ spotted” ji subma
rine lying on the sea bed. Instantly
the observer’s finger commenced to
tap a key. Ten miles awny a long,
lean destroyer and four squat trawlers
detached themselves like a pack o f
hounds working a covert, and hastened
to the kill. Mennwhile the seaplane
circled around. When the surface
ships arrived, her instructions, deliv
ered by wireless, w ere curt and pre
cise.
Acting upon them the trawlers sta
tioned themselves nt the four corners
o f a wet qundrnngle, while the de
stroyer kept her guns ready to talk to
Fritz should he nppear above the sur
face.
The trawlers at the corners got out
their sweeps— long w ire hawsers, with
a heavy “ kite” In the center to keep
their bights down on the seabed— and
commenced to steam toward each
other.
As the pairs o f vessels met, their
wires simultaneously engaged them
selves under the U-boat's bow and
stern, nnd commenced to work their
Binuous way between her hull and the
sea bottom.
Then the strange thing happened.
Two round, black objects seemed to
detach themselves from her hull and
float surfueeward, to hover a second
nnd then to commence bobbing down
the tide.
“ Minelayer, eh?” called the sea
plane’s observer.
“ That’s It, lad,” came the telephoned
answer, “ but her eggs can wait fo r a
minute.”
Then the trawlers crossed their de
pendent cables nn<f thus held the U-
boat In a kind o f wire cat’s cradle. She
seemed to suddenly awake to her
danger, fo r with a bound she tried to
disentangle herself from the meshes
which held her. But It was no use;
the trawlers had been too long at the
game and the submarine was doomed.
“ Got him,” signaled the seuplnne.
“ Thunks,” responded the destroyer.
“ W e’ll give him five minutes to come
up and breuthe, but no longer.” That
time passed but still F ritz made no

perhups, more interesting than the bak

The supplying o f the American

become a great iudustry and is growing
all the time. The few bakers origi
