DEAOLIEST FOE OF U BOATS

mediate Service.
The navy department has begun
preparations for the building of a mo
torboat patrol fleet for defense against
German U-boats that might cross the
Atlantic to prey on shipping or to enter
American harbors In search, of battle
ships.
A. Lorlng Swasey of Swasey, Ray
mond & Page, Boston ship architects,
has been called to Washington, it was
learned, to take charge of the con
struction in private shipyards of motor
patrol boats, to be equipped with fore
and aft guns, wireless, searchlights and
unique bombing devices.
Simultaneously with tho call of Mr.
Swasey to 'Washington to take charge
of this work, Admiral Knight has noti
fied the officers of the various civilian
patrol squadrons, composed of private
ly owned motorboats, to hold their men
subject to call. There are 1,S00 power
boats on the Atlantic coast enrolled In
the civilian motorboat patrol organiza
tions. Of these probab!y 100 could be
armed and equipped for defensive
work against submarines and be ready
at short notice.
One Thoueand of the Boats Needed.
Yachtsmen estimate that not fewer
than 1.000 boats of a type of which
only a few exist in tho United States
today would be necessary for the
proper patrol of the coast In view of
the speed with which patrol boats were
built for England, it is believed that
tho 1.000 boats could be built In much
less than a year to substitute or sup
plement tho work against submarines
that may have to be done in the first
instance by private owned' volunteer
craft The United States has now two
types of patrol boats that were con
structed for test and as a guide for
yachtsmen. One of each type has been
constructed, and both boats, one thirty
five feet In length and the other sixty
six, are capable of doing twenty-five to
thirty miles an hour.
While the government and motorboat
men are preparing for defense against
submarines, the question of netting the
harbors has come to tho f rout. A num
ber of uavy experts deny that it is es
sential to net the harbors against the
possible invasion of submarines, while
others insist that If one submarine
should get into a harbor where a por
tion of the Atlantic fleet is lying the
havoc would be tremendous, as each
torpedo would count to the full. So
far as cau be learned, the navy depart
ment is inclined to rely at the start in
any case on protection by the patrol
boats, though urged by civilian yachts
men to proceed promptly with the prep
aration of nets for all harbors likely to
be frequented by any portion of the At
lantic fleet.
Patrol Boat Most Effective.
Patrol boats supplemented by nets,
wire and bomb devices of various kinds j
have not been more than sufficient for j
England's protection against the sub
marines. While the patrol boats that:
spread out in fanlike circle after a
submarine has submerged for escape
are the most effective instruments de
vised for submarine catching, it was
lea rued from a reliable source that
England a few veeks ago was celebrat
ing the destruction of the hundredth
German submarine. This number is
great or small, according to one's point
of View. Considered in the light of the
difficulties of tracking and "nailing"
submarines, it would be large. But au
thorities in this country agree that
Germany probably has now 300 subma
rines, of'which many are of a trans
atlantic type.
Tlio view i3 ratner wiueiy neiu iiuv
there is not a great probability of Ger
many attempting to raid American
coasts, though it Is believed that she
would in case of hostilities send sub
marines to attack the coastwise ship
ping. Arthur P. Aldridge, editor of
Rudder, in the course of a recent dis
cussion concerning the possibilities of
our motorboat patrol, cited the fact
that 550 patrol boats were built for
England in 535 days. If the govern
ment on the advice of Mr. Swasey
should now proceed to build a stand
ardized motorboat patrol It is believed
that the several big shipyards equipped
for such construction could beat this
record and turn out 1,000 boats in a
few mouths.
HUGE SEAPLANES FOR ARMY.
Sixteen Each For the Canal Zona and
Honolulu.
Huge seaplanes with a wing spread
of seventy feet and motors developing
400 horsepower will form the flying
equipment of the Sixth and Seventh
squadrons at the canal zone and Hono
lulu, Captain John P. Curry at the
Army Aviation school at San Diego,
Cal., said recently.
Each squadron will be equipped with
sixteen p!ane3, and the personnel of
each will be eighteen officers and 168
mechanicians. The planes will have a
speed of seventy-flve miles an hour
and will carry sufficient fuel for a
flight of 400 miles.
