in important position in naval war
fare during the world struggle. Gar
man mine-layers, dotting the N'orth
Sea and the English channel with ,
Innumerable mines, wrought havoc
for a time to English and allied ship
ping. Later the tables were turned
on the Germans when mine-layers
lotted the seas and the channels to
German naval vessels with deadly
mines to prevent the free passage of
submarines. Their effective wjrk
was clearly demonstrated, and the
