SUBSEA WARFARE
HAS TEETH DRAWN
Oeitrnction of Fifty German Craft
by Vtw Method Will Modify the
American Naval Policy.
WILL BELT ON DREADNOUGHTS
WA8HINOTON, Oct. J. The
American naval policy for Ihe com
ing yesr, tentatlre plans tor which
rcornled the sudden development
rf European submarine warfare and
make provision for a larice number
tf undersea boats, will be broadly
affected by the British admiralty's
development of successful means for
-ombstlnic the submarine peril.
Confidential reports to the Vnltml
fitate fovemtnent disclosing that the
destruction tf from fifty to seventy Oef
inan submarines had 'been effected by
the use of net, submarine telephones,
new types of mines and by covering the
imbmarlne area with a flee t of
thousands of high speed motor boats
armed with rapid fire guns, have ful
filled the convictions of American naval
rxperts that means would he round to
successfully combat undersea warfare.
Likewise these reports have reaffirmed
the faith or American etperta In the all
big gunshlp the dreadnaught as the ef
fective fighting force of any navy.
One Immediate development of this
newest lesson drawn from the European
war probably will be provision In the
new naval bill for continued additions to
the dreadnaught fleet Instead of build
ing submarines on such an extensive
scale as has been desired by many.
It Is plain, however, that the develop
ment of successful means of repelling
submarine warfare will not mean the
abandonment of substantial additions to
tha American submarine fleet. The new
naval building program probably will In
clude more than the usual number of
submerslbles and thsy will all be of the
new high speed, seagoing cruiser type,
carrying rapid fire guns recently de
veloped In the naval gun factory, but
the official plan will not contemplate
development of the submarine arm of
the service at the expense of the big-gun
ships.

J W. Hall, another west-ender, took
issue with Mr. Whitmore on the paving
material question, declaring tliat brick
Is too expensive and that concrete or
oiled roads are the most practical. He
also advised against planting trees
along the roads, because they would
catch snow In winter and prevent dry
ing out In summer, thus mtiklng the
roads less passable than If no trees
were planted.
