MINES PUZZLE ENGLISH Are Even rllul-d@r Problem » Inroads on Esglish Shipping. London, April 16.—Mines laid the important ' British shipping lan by the German U-boats are proving just as serious a proplem to the ad- miralty as the U-boats -fhem Sir Edward Carson, first lord of admiralty, pointed out in a sp this week that in the olden times Frary & | laying of mines was dangerous, b was nothing then to what it is’ when submarines aro employed n only to sink ships, but to lay. mini below the surface of the water.' i Mines of this character have ci R heavy loss’in the English 'channeli a on February 1, and from the promis-: cous way in which these machin were scattered they were much mdre" difficult to deal with than when placed " by surface craft in more or less d fined areas. “A submarine can follow our mine- sweepers,” said Sir Tdward Carson, “and as quickly as we sweep up mines - they can lay new ones without out knowing or suspecting. Do not un- derestimate the danger and difficulties of that operation.” Necessarily, this practice involves the navy in a gigan- 3§ tic work to ensure even comparative - immunity. Complete immunity cannot = in the‘circumstances be expected. Submarine mines of this character, freshly laid, were swept up in the path of the American liner St. Lo Similar mines, from which it had & providential escape, were found at & place where the St. Louis had ani" chored for several hours, ; During” the past two months of ruthless submarining, threp British destroyers have been sunk in the Eng- lish channel by mines.- JOHN P.
