DID GOOD WORK
IN PLANTING
OF HUS
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1 (by Associ
ated Press).—The American mining
squadron, which, in conjunction with
the British navy, blazed a 230-mile
trail of mines across the North sea
from the Orkneys to the coast of Nor
way, has returned home with the story
of how this great achievement in the
campaign to throttle the German sub
marines was contributed.
Captain Reginald fl. Belknap, com
mander of this fleet of ten ships—
two light cruisers and eight converted
merchant craft — graphically de
scribed in a recent statement the work
of laying the 70,100 mines which made
up the so-called North sea barrage,
and announced that at least seventeen
enemy submersibles were known to
have come to grief in attempting to
pass through this field.
The American ships laid 56,570 of
the total number of these American
invented and manufactured engines of
destruction. The field averaged 25
miles in width, and nowhere was it
less than 15 miles across, an hour’s
run for a submarine. If a safe course
were sought underneath, several
lines of mines would be found there
equally deep, and if the submarine
went down even deeper, mines were
ready for them there, too, and one
touch was enough.
‘‘Before the barrier was half way
across,” said Captain Belknap, “the
barrage began to yield results. Early
in July, 1918, after the second ex
cursion of the mine layers, and from
time to time thereafter, reports would
come of submarines damaged or dis
appearing in that area. From the
nature of the case, it may never be
known definitely how many actually
did come to grief there, but the best
information gives as probably ten be
fore the middle of October, with a
final total of seventeen more. In ad
dition to this toll the squadron should
be credited with two submarines lost
in the fields of British mines laid by
the Baltimore off the Irish coast.”
The American squadron arrived at
Inverness last May 26, ready to begin
operations, and twelve days later
started on its first mine-planting "ex
cursion.” On these trips, which last
ed from forty to eighty hours, the
squadron was part of the British
grand fleet, and for protection against
submarines and raiding cruisers, it
was accompanied by British destroy
ers and battleships or battle cruis
ers.
On the second raining excursion,”
said Captain Belknap, “the sixth bat
tle squadron was the support, con
sisting of four American battleships,
commanded by Rear Admiral Hugh
Rodman of the United States navy, in
the flagship New York. One may
imagine with what feelings we saw
our own ships file out of Scapa Flow,
form line and slowly disappear in the
haze as they swept off to the south
eastward. It will be readily under
stood that the way had to be made
smooth for the mine planters. A sin*
Sfle well-placed torpedo or mine, or
a few enemy shells, would certainly
finish one vessel, and probably destroy
all ten of them. Each mine planter
carried from 24 to 120 tons of high
explosive, a total of nearly 800 tons
In the squadron, many times more
than the amount that devastated Hali
fax.
“The operation as a whole was
done in conjunction with a British
mine-laying squadron of four vessels,
vhich worked from a base at Orange
mouth, Edinburgh, under command of
Rear Admiral Clinton-Baker of the
Royal navy. The American and Brit
ish mine squadrons often went out at
the same time, under the protection
of the same heavy squadron, but ex
cept on two occasions they always
worked separately, in different parts
of the barrage area.
Altogether the American squadron
made fifteen excursions, the British
eleven, and the barrage was finished
at the end of October. On the first
excursion the squadron planted a
mine field forty-seven miles long, con
taining 3,400 mines, in three hours
and thirty-six minutes. Everything
went without a hitch. The new mum
Installations worked perfectly. On
this first operation one ship' emptied
herself of 678 mines without a single
break, one mine every Ufa second*
through more than two hours, th*
longest series ever planted any
where.”

PRICE REMAIN SAME
tO SOLDIERS ABROAD
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY OB''
OCCUPATION, Dec. 28 (Corrsepond
ence of the Associated Press).—Analy
sis of price reports from the entire
area occupied by the Americans shows
that th® prices current prior to the
signing of the armistice have re
mained practically unchanged. Al
though certain individual eases have
been reported of attempts to over
charge American soldiers, there has
been no general tendency among the
Germans to increase the prices on
goods in the stores. In some shops
In Coblenz, where prices have ad
vanced since the Americans arrived,
the merchants contends that this has
been necessary because of an In
crease of from 20 to 40 per cent In
the price of certain articles from the
factory. And to bear out the state
ments the merchants show letters
from factory managements in Berlin
and other manufacturing points.
Coblenz has had as much difficulty
in procuring food supplies as any part
of the American area, and yet outside
of certain serious shortages In some
essentials such as fats, the general
feeling In the city is one of hopeful
ness in regard to the food situation.
This hopefulness extends only to this
area, and not to the districts of in
terior Germany, which, according to
eports, are worse off.
