NEW SUBMARINES.
GERMAN INVENTION. SOME REMARKABLE CLAIMSALL OTHERS RENDERED OBSOLETE United Press Assn. — Elec. Tel.—Copyright. (Received March 20, 12.15 p.m.) BERLIN, March 19.
Designs for a new type of submarine, armoured, and requiring no ballast, developing a surface speed of 22 knots, equipped with torpedoes which throw no wake, have been produced by Professor Oswald Flamm, who claims that it would be as much in advance of existing submarines as the German pocket battleship Ersatz Preussen is ahead of its predecessors. The torpedo’s invisibility is achieved by an improved drive, which klso increases the speed. Germany is not permitted to build submarines, and Professor Flamm is unable to finance the model, but hopes that a foreign Government will become interested.
