The French flotilla suffered only slight

An official statement Issued by the

that a flotilla, of German destroyers
had been driven back to its base by a

Hundreds of Patrol Boats as Well
as Seaplanes, Bombs, Mines and
Armed Merchantmen Are Em
ployed Against Germans.
PARIS, Friday. May 25. (Delayed.)
Rear-Admiral Lacase, the Minister of
Marine, outlined the means of defense
France had adopted against the under
sea boats, in the Chamber of Deputies
tonight.
"I see no reason why I should not
speak of these methods." said Admiral
Lacase. "It would be childish to think
they are unknown to the enemy. They
consist of a system of patrol boats, of
arming merchantmen and fitting them
with wireless; of seaplanes, nets, mines,
smoke-raising devices and dragnets."
The Minister said that France had
552 patrol boats in service and expect
ed to increase the number to 900. He
also said the government had 1200
dragnets, 170.500 curtain nets and 5000
20-foot float nets-which indicate the
presence of submarines. Discussing
the use of airplanes, he said:
'We have organized seaplane posts
all around the coasts so that the zone
of action of each post joins that of its
neighbor on either sihe. We also have
special bombs for submarines and ap
paratus to throw them.
'The guns we mounted on tne patrol
boats have been referred to disdain
fully, but you cannot put 10 centimeter
guns on a small vessel. A patrol boat
on guard, armed with 95-millimeter
guns, met two submarines armed with
105-millimeter guns, sank one and put
the other to flight."

the explanation given today at the
