BIG SUBMARINE
HUNT NOW UN
A. P. A. Service.
LONDON, SJept. 15.- The tell tale
wake left behind by the submarine ves
sel is said to be responsible for the
great losses suffered by the German
submarine fleet during the past sever
al weeks according to an article pub
lished in the Daily News today. Tht
article is authoritative and explains thi
reason for the unusual British success
in capturing and sinking so many ot
the enemy vessels. The .article states
that the under water vessels are easilj
picked by the peculiar trail left by tht
submarine due to the rising air bub
1 les. Since the existence of the cur
ious wave became known the British
nuxllltary vessels have no difficulty
in following the movements of the
vessels when submerged and the sea
men soon learn to pick up the wake
of a submarine even at considerable
distances, although it is not easily dis
corned In rough weather.
The success of the recent submarine
hunts has led to the arming of a great
number of vessels to search out and
destroy the late under water terrorr
which are however terrible no longer
The article declares that there are at
least twenty three trawling and other
vessels of the same class engaged ir
submarine hunting.
