WASHINGTON, March 1."..
U-boats lire coming!
Within six days, nt least in the
option f naval authorities in Wash
ington, German sulnnarines will ap
pear oil' the Atlantic eoast anil in the
Gulf of Mexico, ready to pounce upon
the shipping that attempts to leave
American ports,
This is. the explanation given for
the siulilen cessation of tho sinking
of merchant vessels during the last
two weeks. It is pointed out that the
last reported activities of the sub
marines occurred on February the
day on which President Wilson made
his armed neutrality declaration. Ac
cording to this view, as soon as the
president announced his intention of
using armed force, tho submarine.-'

were sent to sen.
Sudden Mow Likely.
Germany always in the past made
it a rule to strike the quickest, and
most sensational blow possible as
soon ns wnr with nny power became
inevitable. This was her course in
Belgium and in ljumaiiin and there is
every reason lo believe that she will
repent it in the case of the United
States.
The submarine is the most effectiv
Wiupon which she can employ ag'iiusl

.Moreover, her U-boats operating in
American waters will be able t i do in
imiieiy more ilunuign to the commcr""
upon which Knglund depends than if
they restrict their activities to the
blockade zone. There they have lo
contend with thousands of iri(i.-di pu
ti'ol boats, while in Americnn water-;
lucre are less Hum fifty United Slates
destroyers, supplemented by the small
number of Hrilish cruisers, which
came to light during I lie U-ftXs ex
ploits. Out Hoiiihard Towns,
And in the event of a declaration
of war either by the United Stales or
.Germany, the damage that the U
bnats can do will not be limited lo
the destruction of vessels. Geimnny
throughout the war has shown hei
utter contempt for the rules of inter
national war which forbids the shell
ing of unfortified towns.
Armed with six-inch guns, the sub
marines will be able lo lie safely u.1
sea and pour explosive shells into the
scores of unfortified towns and vil
lages along the Atlantic eoast and in
the Gulf of Mexico.
The only oilier explanation offer
ed for the sudden cessation of U
hoal activities is a dispatch from Her
lin that they have all returned to
Helgoland for fuel and new supplies
lint it is pointed out that this evi
dcntly inspired statement is absurd
and obviously a blind. Germany
would never nltempt to bring her en
tire fleet of submarines through the
'British mine fields and past the Brit
ish Jiorth sea patrol at one time.
They sneak in one bv one, traveling
.submerged for the greater part of the
distance and taking every precaution
to avoid detect ion.
. According to calculations the first
oi ine u-Donis snoiim reach .uiencnu
waters within 12 days after they leave
l blockaile zone. The Dcutschland
took 15 days for the trip, but she
started from Hamburg nnd had to run
a large pnrt of the distance around
the British Isles submerged and at low
speed. If they got their orders on
the l!llth, this 'should bring them off
the Atlantic const about the luth of
March.
It is generally believed that bases
nt which they can replenish their sup
plies have been established in the
West Indies, Mexico and at desolate
points along the Atlantic const.
The signal for them to begin action
will be the declaration by Germany
of n blockade zone in American wut
i ers imilar to that established around
the British isles. This declaration, it
is believed, will come as soon as the
president issues orders '' to provide
puns and gunners for American vessels.

WASHINGTON, llurcli IS. Tho
naval program has so overtaxed the

Secretary Daniels today resumed
his conferences with shipbuilders ex

end ot the week for four of tho five
battlo cruisers. The fifth ship, he in

LONDON, .Mar. K,, -The Associat
ed Press has been placed in posses
sion of a review of the first six weeks
of the German unrestricted submar
ine campaign. The figures given aro
from tho board of trade reports and
tiie conclusions arc those of a highly
competent authority.
"The German submarine campaign
reported to have assumed enhanced
vigor on February 1 was singularly
disappointing to the Germans them
selves," says the review. "At the
beginning of January 191", Great
nrluiln possessed approximately
3.S71 vessels of 1000 tons and over.
-Many others of lessei tonnage are not
taken into consideration, owing to
the importance of restricting the
question of overseas traffic anil cargo
judging the results carefully and
looking to possible future develop
ments.
"From February 1, until March
(14?) the losses of British ships of
over liiOO tons were approximately
seventy-eight, which number deduct
ed from the total haves the British
mercantile marine with .If; 3 3 ships of
over jr.Otj tons after six weeks of

of prominent Belgians representing

industrial revolution has taken place
in Russia as a result of tho war.
Ono sentence tells tho story. Here
it is: By July first Russia will be
manufacturing all her own war supplies.
1 havo just had a long talk with
Andrew Kalpaseliiilkoff-caimic of the
Siberian Red Cross (military) Fly
ing Squadron whom three severe
wounds furloiighed and sent to Am
erica. Incidentally, ho is ono of
three officers surviving the command
of four thousand men who went to
tho front when war broke out.
There' are two hundred of tho men
surviving.
Making New Army.
We are making a now army,"
said tho colonel, "and what Is more
important, wo are making everything
the new army needs. In tho begin
ning we were in a bad way. Wo had
to depend on foreign nations, prin
cipally Japan and the United States,
for practically everything. Now all
that is changed. By July we will be
through buying manufactured war
necessities from other countries."
Tho colonel ilustruted Russia's
uiipreparcdncsB 'ns follows:
"When tho war began we were
making three small field guns a week.
Germany was at that time turning
out a battery a day."
"is it true tho army ran short of
ammunition " I asked.
"Short? For six days whllo we
were 'atempling to retreat we had
exactly two shells por day apiece for
each of our field guns."
"How about the niou in tho lines?"
Shortage of l unit ions.
"There were two rifles for every
three men and after a while thorn
were no cartridges for tho rifles. H
was haril to cover a retreat with
forces liko that. That was when we
lost eight hundred out of a thous
and."
'Who was responsible for tho fail
ure "
Tho colonel smiled.
"Mistakes will happen even In the
best of regu hited nations."
According to my informant Ger
many overlooked a big but at that
time.
"it may bo told now" said tho col
onel. "Of course it was a terrible
dark secret for a long while, but I
know of no reason why it may not
now bo revealed, that if the Germans
had pressed on alter our retreat, they
could have gone ns far Into Russia
as they wished. Wo expected they
would, and even planned to give up
.Moscow, not without making some
resistance, of course, but we did not
have tho ammunition and there was
nothing to do but to retreat. But
nations, like individuals, aro lucky
.sometimes.
Not According 1i Formula.
"The Germans in their military ac
tivities are a ipieer lot. They have
very little Individual Initiative. They
play tho game according to formula
and when something new happens
they are not there. Hero was a case
where there was something very
new an opposing army without any
guns or ammunition. That wus too
much of a surprise for tho Germans,
so instead of coming on and helping
themselves they dug trenches anil
prepared to winter."
A large measure of Russia's in
dustrial revival is attributed to tho
abolition of vodka and other liquors.
The men are sober now and aro avail
able for work In the factories.
"Is the abolition really effective?"
I asked.
Prohibition Kffi-ctlve.
"Absolutely," he replied. "I had
occas'ion to return to tho town wiierc 1

drinking went into effect. I bad !
