tho motliod that will be used to pro
tect tho cargoes on which Ilrituin
must depend for her very life.
In protecting our mercantile nin-
at the present time, we have
simply to consider tho bubiiinnne,
said Captain Gaunt.
"Half u dozen last destroyers will
bo able to afford ndciiuule protection
to a fleet of, say, 110 merchantmen.
The range of visibility ot a l-
hoat is not more thnn three miles.
This means that the destroyers will
not bo compelled to steer a course
more than three miles from the ships
being protected.
Method of Convoying.
The big steamers will take the
center of the convoy and the smaller
tramps tho fringe. Now, these small
shins do not draw much water, which
will make it necessary for a L'-boat
oaiinander in attempting an attack
cut bis tornedo lo travel at not
more than three feet below the sur
face.
"This would mako it very uncertain
whether Ihe torpedo would ever reach
its target, for at but three feet below
Ihe surface the torpedo would be verv
apt lo 'heuk water.' In coming to
tho surfuco the torpedo wouiii pnm-
nblv bumi) a wave nnd have its gy
nil unset. There would be no telling
then when it would eventually limit.
II might start off for Ihe North 1 ole
and hit tho equator.
Willi overy lnerchnnlman m the
convoy armed, nnd with the destroy
ers ever on tho alert, a convoy ol
tncvchanlnien would be a very danger
ous job for n submnnno conininndcr
to tackle.
Ilritish Iteeognie Danger. .
'The Ilritish government is fully
alive to tlui new submarine danger
and is prepared to lose mnnv more
ships. That is the price we are pay
ing for the command of the sens. Hut
von will notice that Ilritish ships arc
'sailing iust the same. We slill have
thousands of ships oil nil the sens.
''We nre not being blockaded. H
is tho neutrals that are being block
aded.
"Ily Rctling our merchant ships

manner 1 have de-eribed. nnd bv

"One of our greatest difficulties is
lo get our merchant captains lo obey
admiralty orders. Our snilfts ftVcm
to court danger. When we tell them
lo avoid certain routes, tbev seem to
I .ike a fiendish delight ill positively
running right into danger.
Explain I'milen Success.
"The success of the F.mdcn was due
lo lln-. stubborn trail ol our sanors.
We warned all merchant ships to
moid the regular trade route be

(1KNKVA, Teh. J !!.-( Kroin a shift'
correspondent of the Associated
Press) The Zeppelin cuinpiiign
against London has been found to be
unprofitable. The cessation of Gcr
man air iittueks on the Ilritish me
tropolis after the latest appearances
of the big dirigibles over Ihe city last
full has been due, not lo fortuitous
corcniiistnnces, but to tile deliberate
leicrininiilrbii of the German 1 tiders
to abandon these attacks, tis has long
been done iu Ihe case of Paris.
.Not Enliiely Abandoned,
The correspondent, who wus then
in Ilei'lin, was informed trom n trust
worthy source a few days after the
final London raid of the decision to
send no more Zeppelins and sist
ships of the Sehullehinz type against
London. Air ranis against Kngland,
the col respondent was told, would not
be ubnudoued entirely. They were
considered lo be of great service in
holding nt home guns, airplanes nnd
men of the Ilritish aerial defense,
which otherwise would be freed for
service in France, but iu future the
attacks would be directed against the
provinces instead of London. 'file

llofciiso Slops ItJiids.
The predominant reason for the
decision to discontinue attacks on
London probably is the increasing
strength and efficiency of the air de
feases of the city, but Ihe effect of
the raids on neutral opinion, in view
of the then contemplated pence over-
lures, may also have been a factor.
It may be interesting iu this con
nection to record a bit of unwritten
history of the war. In the curly days
of the conflict, when the air raids
were just beginning, President Wilson
