.FoHotolnr to ffce Mrd of a series of articles by Winston Churchllt, noted
American author, dealing with the world-war and the part that America is
playing and toill play in It. Today Mr. Churchill deals specifically with the sub
marine problem, which he stantflcantlu declares has not vet been solved, lie
j
discusses two methods, now under consideration, of trapping these venomous
I "rats of the sea."

rTUIE American trumpets havo blown and tho walls of tho German Jericho ntlll
J A appear fairly solid,
Recently I made a visit to the omces of the C-onoral Doard of tho Navy. The
walls are hung with chnrts, nnd around a tablo In a largo room gather every day
. certain admirals of wisdom and experience, and experts of lesser rnnk.
WINSTON CHUHCIULL wf,tPrll fr0I, .-ranc0 , blerdlnc to death, Hrltaln is
rapidly uslnc up her land forces; on tho eastern front ficrniany stilt retalnn a large
area of Russian territory, ami Kimsla In paraliyed by revolution.
According to tho best Information that can bo got outside of rjcrmany, that
. nation had at the beginning of the war about forty submarines afloat and thirty
, building, of 400 to COO tons. These boats, however, were not equal to what the Ger-
mans would call "practical" woik on tin high seas. During the period that elapsed
-" from January, 191fi. to April 1, 1917, they are supposed to have put In tho water
one hundred and seventeen 800-ton boats: and It will be noted that this later date
Virtually coincides with the recent area of frlghtfulnesn In which tho tonnago sunk
' came very close to tho million a month which the Germans themselves had estimated
was necessary to bring Britain to her
same ways and havo standardized their
that they can now turn out from three to four a week. And as to tho question
of training tho crows, they aro apparently not having a great deal of trouble about
that.
GERMANS PLAN NEW SUBMARINE TYPE
,' The 800-ton boat, however, largo ns it may seem for the type, has only Just
J enough cruising radius to cross the ocean, discharge Its torpedoes nnd go directly
home again. Because it cannot cany sufllclent supplies. It cannot remain; not that
the Germans aro at present contemplating operations on oui sldo of tho water;
their business now Is to starvo out England, nnd tho 800-ton boats would seem quite
adequate for this purpose. They will continuo to swarm around tho British Isle".
t- But Germany has tho habit of looking nheod, and sho Is now supposed to be building
huge submarines of 2400 Ioiih displacement, capable of carrying sufTlrlent supplies
to enclicle the globe. And these arc said to bo armed with six Inch guns o weapon
that can defy and destioy the ordinary patrol boat or trawler.
Our nnval ofllopi-H, a.n a rule, arc cry skeptical as to the practlcablllt of any
5 nclentlflc Invention to deal with the submarine. They h-vrn't much faith in wizards.
The weakness of thn submarine is this, that It can travl under water only a certain
distance nnd a certain number of hours, nnd then It has tr come up like n whale
f --not to blow, but to recharge Its batteries. In tho RdO-ton typo thin taken npproxl
', ' mately five hours and then is tho time to get her! The R00 ton submarine ran make
'. Uabout eighteen knots with her gasoline engines on tho surface, nnd when she Is sub
I jjnerged sho can run from ten to tvelo knots at full speed when her batteries
J aro virtually exhausted. On tho other hand, she can cruise tinder water at dve
j t knots an hour for twenty hours, and nt one and one-half knots for seventy hours.
PROBLEM STRICTLY UP TO DESTROYERS
J The problem in lis final analysis resolves Itself Into a matter or a sufllclent mini
t .bcr of patrols, and thin sufficient number is at present ladling.
Such Is tho paipablo fact, and In stating it I am not betraying any secrets to the
J " enemy. There are things I know, thanks to tho trust that has been put In me, that
J fJI cannot state. But It will be some comfort as well as a matter of pride to Inform
tha American people that the destroycra wo have already sent to tho other sldo
- .have been of real value; nor Is It an exaggeration to say as our British Allies have
, . already declared that they aro a factor In reducing tho number of sinkings. Yet
I lt must always bo borne In mind that Germany will bo continually launching more
J and more submarines ns time goes on.
i The British navy, fortunately for us, controls the surface of the seas, and on
i ' the surface has followed tho traditional strategy of keeping a powerful enemy fleet
J J" bottled up In Its base. Laymen have often asked the question, Why don't the British
J. use more destroyers to convoy merchant ships? The answer Is, that a very largo
j number of the avallublo Brltihh destioyers havo to be ready to act with the British
-rflcet In order to enforce the bottling up. And a glance at tho waters surrounding
l tho British Ible.n, to say nothing of the area of the Mediterranean, ought to convince
I any ono that the task of patrolling theso waters Is no child's play.
If "Z Another question: Why aro uo sending our destroyers over there'' Because
I fc'tliat Is tho place to piotect America. That Is tho place where tho submarines are
J operating, and If England Miccumbs It will bo for us a caso to use a favorite ex.
presston of "Billy" Sunday'H of "good night." As n matter of fact, if It hadn't been
for the British navy in tho past, It would have been a case of "good night" long ago,
But wo shall havo something to say about this matter later. Suffice It to add that
, I make no icflection whatover on the personnel, on the officers and men of our own
navy,
The submarines aro tho rats, a new and treacherous and venomous breed.
They continue to escape from their holes nnd overrun the seas. They have revo-
lutionlzed tho naval problem, and as a consequence a novel kind of sea oxpert is
being developed, who may bo called the rat-catcher. In theso days ho Is sitting up
nights. Now the logical and time-honored method of catching rats is to stop up
their holes something, that is easier ild than done.
' ' A glance at a chart of tho North Sea shows one narrow outlet at the Straits of
Dover, and, us a matter of fact, this holo is stopped up; but to the northward there is
a great big hole about 240 miles wide, from Rattray Head to the coast of Norway.
t, Stride wo havo como Into the war I havo read In the newspapers and often discussed
2J tho proposal to net and mlno this stretch. It Is a problem for experts, and there are
J arguments for and against tho plan. Its friends declare that tho depth of the water
V averaging fifty-five fathoms almost all tho way across In not too great for the
anchoring of mines and nets. Near the Norway coast the bottom dips to U7 fathoms;
g but even this channel, they Insist, could bo bridged. Anglo-Saxon persistence nnd
obstinacy might eventually accomplish It. At present the rats, escaping from Zee
- brugge or the Baltic, sneak northward along the shores and reach the coast of
Norway, where there are deep passages within the three-mile limit behind tho numer.
tua Islands there; finally trjey emerge Into tho open and make their way around the
Bhetlands into tho Irish Sea and Atlantic Ocean.
This business of permitting German submarines to use Its territorial waters
would not seem calculated to make Norway popular among tho Allies. But It must
be remembered that Norway Is In a position which we Americans somewhat vividly
describe as "sawbucked"; another way of saying that she Is between tho devil and
the deep sea, une surmises tnai Norway is rapidly getting Into a Btate of mind
that will dispose her to choose tho deep sea. At any rate, If Gorman vessels are
allowed to take advantago of theso waters, there is no rea&on to bclievo that a
similar courtesy should not be extended to our Allies and ourselves.
, CONCENTRATION OP PATROL SUGGESTED
Granting for the sake of argument that the plan of stretching nets and mines
Jrom England to Norway may In the future be practicable, when the proper amount
f material is at hand, and always providing that Britain has not been starved
In the meanwhile, another way of handling the situation would seem to be to establish
n patrolled area 240 miles long from Rattray Head, In Scotland, to the coast of Nor
yay. and approximately 120 miles wlde-ror a little more than the under-water cruising
rftUlua of a submarine.
If this area were adequately covered the escaping submarines would be forced
town on sighting the southern line of vessels, and compelled to travel say 105 miles
i Under water. Then they would have to
