GERMANY, THE NEXT REPUBLIC?
By Carl V/. Ackerman
So Great Had Become Losses At
tending the U-Boat Campaign
Against England That the Ger
man Admiralty Began to Make
Plans for Submarine Wartare
in Less Dangerous Waters,
CHAPTER XXV,
SRMANY'S submarine war-
G fare. which was introduced
in February, 1915, began by
sinking less than 50.000 tons of
ships per month. By November,
1915, the amount of tonnage de
stroyed per month was close to
200,000 tons. By January, 1916,
the tonnage of ghips destroyed by
submarines had fallen to under
100,000 tons. In April, 1916, as
Grand Admiral von Tirpitz's fol
lowers made one more effort to
make the submarine warfare suc
cessful nearly 275,000 tons were
being destroyed a month. But
after the sinking of the Sussex
and the growing possibility of
war with the United States the
submarine warfare was agaln
held back and in July less than
125,000 tons of shipping were de
stroyed,
At this time, however, the sub
marine campaign itself under
went a change. Previously most |
of the ships destroyed were sunk
off the coast of England, France
or In the Mediterranean. During
the year and a half of the sub
marine campalgn the Allies’
method of catching and destroy
ing submarines became so effect
ive it was too costly to maintain
submarine warfare In belligerent
waters, The German navy had
‘ried all kinds of schemes, but
none was very successful. After i
the sinking of the. Ancona ‘
the Admiralty planned for two
submarines to work together,
but this was not as successful as ‘
it might have been. During May,* |
June and July the submarine
warfare was virtually given up, ‘
as the losses of ships during those
months will show. There was a
steep decline from a quarter of a
million tons in April to less than
140,000 tons in May, about 125,
000 tons in June and not much
more than 100 000 tons in July.
. During these three months the
navy was being bitterly eriticized
for its inactivity. But as the
events six months later will show
the German navy simply used
these months to prepare for a

‘for the Tweniy-eighth Division was
egun yesterday when the 109th In-
If:mtrv took the range. Ground for

was taken over by the division and
enlarged. The 109th hiked out in
heavy marching order, and fired first
at targets set at a distance of 100 |
yards, ;
The other units will take up the,
range firing quickly. The 110th, 111th
and 112th Infantry will follow the
109th within the n-xt few days. The

ter from Jack Dorsey, ‘a Monroe

than to complete his three
months’ sentence in Cincinanti.
