Reports to U.S.

Washington, Aug. 13.—Vice Ad
mix al Simms of the government
shipping corporation, and formerly
:ot the American naval forces star
1 ioned in European waters, has
made a report to the authorities in
Washington in wheh he tells tliein
the best way to solve the subma
rine menace. According to Admir
al Sin mis fast ships, well atoned,
and with expert gunners will be
needed to transport troops ajul
supiili.es across the Atlantic. Mod
cm destroyers, of the latest i«it_
tern, must iiatnil an ocean beat night
and day as methodically as po
licemen patrol a city. Definite
courses should bo followed by the
merchant fleet on each trip, and
such courses are the ones to be
giiuiilcd by the destroyers. This is
the oidv* immediate remedy for
the submarine menace, says the
report.
