Th situation, however. Is not re garded over-pesslml8tically by naval men who insist that the admiralty methods of fighting the submarines are constantly growing in efficiency. In support of this they point to the constantly increasing number or boats which escape the submarines. E SEVERE FIGHTING nome, June 21.
