Hotel Northern Block Wc®* Cordova, Alaska I
LONDON. Feb. 2d (by mail).- One
or the methods by which, as the first
sea lord. Sir Eric Geddes, said re
cently, the submarine menace is being
“held” is vividly described by a writer
in the Liverpool Journal of Commerce.
A seaplane had “spotted” a sub
marine lying on the sea bed. Instantly,
the observer’s finger commenced to
tap a key and ten miles away, a long,
lean destroyer and four squat trawlers
detached themselves like a pack of
hounds working a covert, and hastened
to the kill. Meanwhile the seaplane
circled around, but when the surface
ships arrived her instructions, de
livered by wireless, were curt and pre
cise. Acting upon them the trawlers
stationed themselves at the four cor
ners of a wet quadrangle, while the de
stroyer kept her guns ready to talk to
Fritz should he appear above the sur
face.
The trawlers at the corners of the
wet quadrangle got out their sweeps—
long wire hawsers of an incredible
stoutness, with a heavy “kite” in the
center to keep their bights down on
the sea bed—-and commenced to steam
towards each other. As the pairs ot
vessels met, their wires simultane
ously enaged themselves under th£
U-boat bow and stern, and commenced
to work their sinuous way betweer
her hull and the sea bottom.
Then the strange thing happened
Two round, black objects seemed tc
detach themselves from her hull anc
float surfacewards, to hover a second
and then to commence bobbing dowr
the tide—bobbing down a lane muc)
frequented by those ships that brougln
food, munitions of war, and hundreds
of other things to England's shore.
“Minelayer, eh?” called the sea
plane’s observer.
“That’s it, lad,” came the telephone?
answer, “but her eggs can wait for i
minute.”
The trawlers now crossed their de
pendent cables and thus held tin
(J-boat in a kind of wire cat’s cradle

I
to disentangle herself from the
meshes which held here. But It was no
use; the trawlers had been too long
at the game to leave any loopholes
and the submarine was doomed.
“Got him.” signaled the seaplane.
“Thanks,” replied the destroyer
“We’ll give him five minutes to come'
up and breathe, but no longer." That
time passed but still Fritz made no
further move.
At a flagged signal from the de
stroyer the port foremost trawler and
starboard after one clipped a small
red tin of high explosive to the bar
taut wire, and allowed it to slide down
till it touched the U-boat's hull. It
was the seaplane’s turn to wave a flag,
and immediately there followed the
crashing of two fists upon two firing
keys; the uprising of two grey mounds
of water and a rumbling, muffled ex
plosion.
I The seaplane circled twice above the
i natch of rising oil, ascertained that
| Fritz had been destroyed, and notified
the destroyer of the fact. Then, with
her observer slipping a drum of cart
ridges into his machine gun, she sped
on after those objects bobbing down
tide. A burst of rapid firing—and the
: first of the devil’s eggs, its buoyancy
chamber punctured, sank writh a
gurgle; the second gave a better show
for it exploded grandly—and harm
lessly—as the bullets reached it.

BRITISH FOREIGN TRADE
SEEKS EXTENDED MARKET
LONDON, March 29—An “exporters’
combine” with 1,000 members and
funds of nearly a million dollars a
year has been proposed by big British
commercial houses as an after-the-war
measure. Sir Charles Mandelberg,
head of the organizing committee, ex
plainol the scheme, saying:
“To enable British manufacturers to
compete successfully in the open
markets of the world, and to provide
for the increase in wages on pre-war
rates, the output of manufacturers for
export must show a very large in
crease on pre-war standards. We can
not hope to pay the increased taxation
out of the profits of the home trade.
“The additional plant called into be
ing by war requirements is here, read)
j to be adapted to peace-time needs
j New markets must be found, and tht
j intensive cultivation of existinj
markets will be necessary. The clu<
to what is wanted is the experience o
firms which have been able to placi
their own offices in foreign markets
We propose that every firm shall havi
such offices collectively and the mei
in charge will be the best that can b
found. They will have behind then
the prestige of the most influentia
and powerful association of exporter
in the world.”
