any other Teuton fighting submersible that may possibly be with her, remain a menace to shipping from the Maine to the Florida coast. Is to-day's admitted belief In Naval circles.

Some naval officers say it would be impossible to watch the great stretch of American coast closely enough to prevent a shipmaster willing to take the chance for big game to run out -to a certain point and leave supplies abaord non-slnkable rafts.

Few here believe the U-5S has even started back home. Officials to-day said they believed the liner Adriatic out of danger, at least until she Is closing In towards shore on the other side.
