where on the high seas, their one ap
pearance in American waters except
ed.
This fact has been public here in a
.‘•emi-official way together with man}
encouraging sidelights on the anti
submarine war.
During the winter information
from well-informed sources led to the
general belief in allied circles tha
giant U-boats would sweep the ocean
lanes last spring. These new U-boats,
the “submarine cruisers” of which so
much was written, were supposed t<.
mount heavy guns and to ne so heav
ily armored as to he proof against the
ordinary anti- submarine weapon/;.
, phe Germans definitely predicted
March 1 as the date when the first
submarine cruisers would appear.
U-boats of the Deutschland class,
it is true built originially for com
merce, and later converted by the ad
• dition of torpedo lubes and guns,
have b< en encountered by allied de
stroyers at sea ever since last sum
mer. Yet only one of these which
lias not yet been destroyed is known
to have attempted a torpedo attack.
Allied observers of the naval war,
noting that these large submarines
have been a failure, have until recent
ly refrained fitmi speaking optimisti
cally on the subject, for fear that the
predicted super submarines- might
pop up shortly and prove more des
tructive than their immediate prede
cessors.
But the fact has now been made
public that at present, six months
after the super-submarines- were to
have begun their assault on the trans
port lanes-, not a single vessel of this
type has appeared.
It is believed now that either they
were a myth from the start, or that
the British anti-submarine weapon?,
including the vast mine fields sown
between Norway and the Orkneys,
have destroyed the first types of this
kind which tried to get to sea, and
that no others have been put into
commission.
The number of submarines put into
commission monthly is at present less
than it was at the end 1917 while the
sinkings are increasing. The captur
ed crews, moreover, show a notable
falling off in training. A German
sailor saved from one submarine sunk
recently declared that his command
ing officer had been a Bulgarian, and
that seven of the crew were untrained
men who had never been at sea in a
U-boat before.

GIRLS OF

ENSLAVED

--
HAVRE, Aug. 22— A strike on the
miners near Valenciennes and in
neighboring cool fields of Belgium
has been put down by the German
military authorities.
The strike was in protest against
the enslavement of all girls over 16 in
that region, who have been sent to
Flanders and northern France to dig
trenches.
All the men between 40 and 50 and
all women except married women
with children have like wise been fore
-ed into the German slave gangs.
The German troops drove the pro
testing miners back to work at the
point of the bayonet and deprived
them of their bread allowances.
