Spies Landed In Collapsible Boats-
Sailor RecoQnlzcs Hun officer
In New York
New York. Tho first olllccr of an
American vessel recently sunk off tho
const recognized In New York one of
the olllcers of tho submarine which
sank his esBol. The German officer
recognized him also and escaped beforo
hu could glvo tho alarm
In Washington it Is believed entirely
possible for tho hubniarlnes to land
spies In collapsible boats carried for
the purpose, and that there Is danger
that all tho claboratu safeguards to
check spies will bo defeated mid that
submarine officers will bo able to oh
tain itnl Information by personal
visits on shore.
It Is also learned thut one of tho
Gei man submarines equipped with a
cable-cutting apparatus succeeded in
cutting two cables from the United
States to the West Indies. Those were
nt once repaired,

submarines of tho Doutschlnnd type
have been operating off tho American
shore. These vessels were of tho
cruising type, 300 feet long, armed
fore and nft with (ilnch guns mid with
a cruising radius of 17,000 miles.
The German action In cutting the .
cables mid the reported landing of
spies glvo evidence that the submarine
campaign wns designed to be far inoro
than mi attack on American coastal
shipping. As now viewed, tho object !
of the Germans are shown to bo:
First, to terrorize the navy depart
ment Into recalling wnrshlps from Ku
ropeau patrol duty.
Second, to cut tho United States off
from secret telegraphic communica
tion with Its forces mid allies abroad
by cutting cables
Third, to oatubllth direct communica
tion between the German espionage)
system nud Get man agents in thu
I'nlted States by landing splcB from
submarines.
