HUNTING THE PIRATE SUBMARINE
RECORD 'OF BRITISH TRAWLERS Australian-New Zealand Cable Association. London,. August 28: :'■ Mr. Alfred Noyes, the famous English poet, writing in tho "Daily Chronicle," says that Britain's trawjing fleet, for raine'sweeping and submarine hunting, comprises three thousand vessels, and the crews total a hundred thousand. Nothing was said about the Fleet's way with submarines till the destruction of the fiftieth was quietly celebrated by a small gathering in London. Everything is tloilo in silence. Submarines went out and never returned; others wont out, perplexed, against the mystery, and thoy also did not return. This innocent line of trawlers had moro nightmares in store for Gorman submarines than a fleet of battleships. Any submarino reported in Homo waters could he enclosed in steel traps within twenty-five minutes', from which thoro was no escape. The writer saw a trap, a- hundred miles long, that could shift its position and change its shapo at a signal.
