NO. 1GG iijoucy STILLADVOCATES Destruction of From Fifty to Seventy Submarines by British Shows Un dersea Menace Solved and Experts Pin Faith In the All Bin-Gun Ships as Effective Fighting Force. WASHINGTON, Oct. 2. Tho American navnl policy for tho com ing yenr, tentative plans for which recognized tho midden development of European subniarino warfare nnd inuko provision for n largo numbor of undersea boats, will be broadly af fected by tho British ndmlrally's de velopment of successful menus for combating tlio submarine peril. Confidential reports to tho United States government disclosing that tho destruction of from fifty to seventy Gorman submarines had been effected by tho uso of nets, submnriuo tele phones, new types of mines nnd by covering tho suhmnriuo urea with a fleet of thousands of high-speed mo tor boats anned with rapid-firo guns, havo fulfilled tlio convictions of American naval exports that menus would bo found successfully to com bnt undersea warfare. Likcvviso thcso reports havo reaffirmed tho faith of American oxports in tho all big-gun ship tlio drondnnught ns tho ef fective fighting force of any navy. Newest Icsson Drawn Ono immedinto development of this newest lesson drawn from tho Euro pean war probably will bo provision in the new naval bill for continued additions to tho drendnnught fleet instead of building submarines on such nn extensive scale ns has been desired by many. Tho development of successful means of repelling subinnrino warfurn will not mean tho abandonment ot substantial additions to tho American submnrino fleet. Tho new naval building program probably will in cludo more than tho usual numbor of submorsibles and thoy will all bo of tho now high speed, seagoing cruiser typo, carrying rapid-firo guns re cently developed in tho naval gun fac tory. The destruction of tho fiftieth sub marine was celebrated recently by government officials nt a dinner in London, nlthoiigh reports of the af fair apparently wero suppressed by the censor because of tho policy of keeping Germany in doubt ns to tho numbor of undersea craft destroyed. .Mean UmhI for Destruction Although every effott has been mado to keep secret the means em ployed, tho American government linn been advised as to tho principal methods which havo been adopted to combat tho German undersea cam paign. These operations include tho uso of a subniarino telephone for de tecting tho submuriiio's approach, hugo nets for capturing submarines, a special typo of mine, destroyers and anned trawlers for hunting subma rines, fast seagoing motorbonts arm ed with guns, and aeroplanes for lo cating submarines. Tho reports confirm tho views of American naval officers that tho drcaduaught still is tho principal fac tor in sen warfare.
