Germany's Best
American Boat Speedier, Has
Greater Radius and Is More
Habitable.
RESULT OF RECENT TESTS
Dlrect Comparison It Made With Sub

Good Accommodation for Offi

Washington. Elaborate tests car
ried on by the navy department, the
results of which nere announced by
Acting Secretary Franklin Roosevelt,
show that the latest type of American
submarine Is superior In nearly every
respect to the German U-hont.
The American boat Is speedier, has
a jrrealer radius of action nnd is much
more habitable than the German boats.
Naval officers are of the opinion that
the American submarine Is the more
seaworthy. Of the characteristics of
the two types the navy department
says In an authorized statement: '
'New and interesting light is thrown
on the efficiency of the German subma
rines by recent tests conducted by of
ficers In the bureau of construction
and repair.
"An onnortunltv recently developed
in this country which permitted a di
rect comparison between a late design
of German submarine nnd a late design
of American submarine. While details
of the comparative tests cannot be giv
en, sufficient Information Is available
to destroy the much-advertised superi
ority of the German submarine.
Given Special Trials.
As Is well known, five German sub
marines of the latest design were
brought to the United States for use
In the Victory loan campaign. Four of
these boats came over under their own
power, manned by officers and men of
the United States navy. The propul
sive machinery of the fifth was par
tially destroyed or removed, so thnt it
was necessary to tow the vessel across.
"The best of these German boats
was 'tuned up for special trials. When
reported ready for these trials a spe
cial board was designated to conduct
the trials, following the established
practice In carrying out contract trials
for submarines of the United btates
navy. The boats compared were ex
German submarine U-lll, built at the
Germania yard, Kiel. Germany (com
pleted in 1918), and S-3, a submarine
designed by the navy department; S-3
was built at the Portsmouth navy yard
and was commissioned In 1918.
"These boats both belong to the '800-
ton class,' U-lll having a surface dis
placement of 830 tons and S-3 a sur
face displacement of 854 tons.
"In the trials the maximum surface
epeed of the U-lll was 13.8 knots, while
the S-3 made 14.7 knots. Ihe sub
mersed sneed of the U-lll was 7.8
knots, while S-3 made 12.4 a remark
able difference in favor of S-3. The
radius of action of the two boats is
also In favor of S-3, despite all the
furor that was created by the advent
of the German U-boat on Amerlcnn
coasts during the war.
"U-lll can cruise 8,500 miles at 8
knots, while S-3 can cover 10,000 miles
at 11 Knots. X lie Hiumifi geu cruising
radius shows an equal preponderance

S-3 mounts one 4-Inch gun forward,
this practice of one gun on a subma
rine being standard practice In the
United States navy.
American Boat More Habitable.
"It Is necessary to really live in these
vessels to appreciate the radical dif
ference In their habitability, a vital
military characteristic, for a subma
rine Is no better than Its crews.
"U-lll Is congested to the "last de
gree; she Is complicated in the ex
treme by the Installation of many
'cadgets' some of which are of doubt
ful utility and more doubtful neces
sity. Accessibility to her equipment Is
very difficult; frequently It Is necessary

overhaul one.
"On the contrary, S-3 Is a haMtnMe,
livable proposition; comparatively
'roomy,' with reasonable accommoda
tions for officers and crew. Her equip
ment Is accessible and her general hub
Itablllty Is vastly superior to the U-
111.
"Much has been written of the sen
worthiness of the German U-boat. An
opportunity to compare the sengolng
capabilities of the two vessels oc
curred during these trials, nnd the
general consensus of opinion among
the officers conducting the test is that
the S-3 Is the more seaworthy vessel.
Her decks ore drier, her bridge less
subject to green seas nnd her general
behavior In a seaway superior.

a bachelor and a wealthy contractor
of Perth Amboy. N. J.. went to Hope
farm, near here, and obtained posses

daughter Doris, having discovered her
whereabouts after a search that extend

Mr Hess adopted the child when she
was two years old, but In 1913 he took
several war contracts and wns com
pelled to leave home. He turned the
child over to the care of a friend while
he was away. This man's wife died,
and as Mr. Hess could not be found,
the widower was compelled to give the
child to another family.
Then the Staten Island Children's
society stepped In. took the child and
