NEW DEVICE
MAY LOCATE
SUBMARINES^
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. — Secre
tary of the Navy Josephus Daniels
has given out an encouraging report
on the war against the submarines.
Daniels stated that important prog
ress has been made in the problem of
perfecting methods of locating the
submarines. It seems that this is the
only difficult step in conquering the
sea-thugs, or at least it is considered
Uie most important thing by naval
experts. Once the submarine is lo
cated, Daniels says the sinking of the
craft is a comparatively simple mat
ter. Their safety so far has been in
being able to elude or hide from their j
hunters.
Great things are hoped oi the now
devices for finding where the divers
are hiding in the depths of the waves.
Daniels also announces that nego
tiations have about been completed
by which the United States will se
cure a large number of additional'
ships -to be used for carrying troops
and munitions across the Atlantic.
Northern European neutrals, sorely
hit by the embargo, are now willing
to give ships in exchange- for food
from this country.
Japan has agreed to sell to the
United States many of her ships now
in the Pacific, if she may take the
trade value out in steel plates which
the embargo denies her and which
she needs for the completion of mer
chant shipping now on her ways.
The announcements are regarded:
as of first importance and a spirit
of optimism is for the first time real
ly noticeable in the deportment of -
navy men. it is everywhere felt that |
real progress has been made if the
submarine locating methods “pan out”
as expected.

SEVERAL ARE MISSING
LONDON, Dec. 8. — A report from
the Palestine zone says a British des
troyer and monitor have been sunk
by a German submarine and men
are missing.
