NORTH SEA BARRAGE LOOK TO KOLCHAK TO
LAID BY AMERICANS
Story of Great Naval Achievement Is
Told by Commander.
Without Loss of Single Vessel Ameri-
can Ships Laid M&0 of the 70100
Mines That Closed North
Sea to Germans.
AHfloeiated Press Ueport.
WASHINGTON" Jan. 25. The Ameri-
can mining squadron which in conjunc-
tion 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 Krgiuald 1!. Iialkuap com
minder of this fleet of 10 ships two
light 'cruisers aud eight converted mer
chant craft graphically described in
statement Saturday the work of laving
the 70100 mines which made up the so
called North sea barrage and annouueed
that at least 17 enemy subuiersibles were
known to have pome to grief in attempt
Ing to pass through this field.
The American ships laid 50.570 of the
total number of these American invented
and manufactured engines of destruc
tion. The field averaged 25 miles in
width and nowhere was it less than 15
miles across an hour's run for a sub
marine. If a safe course was sought un
derneath several lines of mines would be
found there equally deep and if the sub
marine went down even deeper mines
wero 'ready for them there too aud one
touch was enough.
Before the barrier was half way
across said ( aptain Jiclknap "the bar
rare began to yield results. Early in
July JIMS arter the second excursion
of the mine layers and from time to time
reports would come of submarines dam
aged or disappearing in that area. From
the mature of the case it may never be
known definitely how manv actually did
come to grief there but the best informa-
tion gives a probable 10 before the mid
dle of October with a hnal total of It
or more. In addition tn this toll the
sqnadron should be credited with two
submarines lost in the fields of British
mines laid by the Baltimore off the Irish
coast."
American Squadron Arrives.
The American wniadron arrived a1 In
veruess last Mav -'. readv to begin
operations and 12 days later started on
its first mine planting "excursion." On
these trips which lasted from 40 to SO
hours the squadron was part of the
British grand Heet. ami for protection
against submarines and raiding cruisers.
it was accompanied by British destroyers
and battleships or battlle cruisers.
"On the second initiiuj; excursion." said
I aptam Belknap "the sixth battle squad
ron- was the support consisting of four
American battleships commanded by
Rear Admiral Hugh Rodman of the
1 nited States navy in the flagship New
York. One may imagine with what feel
ings we saw our own ships tile out of
M-apa rjow form line ami slowlv dis
appear in the haze as they swept off to
the southeastward. It will be readily
understood that the wav had to he made
smooth for the mine planters. A single
well placed torpedo or mine or a few
enemy shells would certainly finish one
vessel and probably destroy all It of
them. Kach mine planter carried from
24 to ISO torn of high explosive a total
of nearly NtMi ions in the squadron many
times more ilian the amount that devas
tated Halifax..
"The operation as a whole was done
in conjunction with a British mine lav
ing squadron of four vessels which
wonktd from base at i rangemouth
Kdmhurgli. under command of Bear Ad-
miral IMiiitnn-Baker of the royal navy.
The American and British mine squad
rons often went out at the same time
under the protection of the same heavy
squadron but except on two occasions
they always worked separately m dif
ferent parts of the barrage area.
Record in Mine Laying.
"Altogether the" American squadron
made l.i excursions the British squadron
11 and the barrage was finished at the
end of Ocioher. On the hrst excursion
the squadron planted a mine field 47
miles long containing ."40O mines in il
hours and M minutes. Everything went
without a hitch. The new mine instal-
lations worked perfectly. On this first
operation one ship emptied herself of
two mines without a single break one
mine every II 1-2 seconds through more
than two hours the longest series ever
planted anvwhure. The squadron was
always ready to make excursions as fast
as the mines could be furnished and
never failed in any operation.
"Not only that the casualties were
very few. One man fell overboard at
sea from the Surunuc ind there were
four other deafhs among the 4000 men
which might have occurred under any
conditions. There was no other loss of
life uor other injury thanks largely to
Captain Butler and Navigator Cunuing-
ham of the flagship San Francisco.
"In addition to the value of the harrage
itself) in keeping the enemy submarines
in or from their bases the mine squad-
ron was expected to serve as a 1)ait to
draw out the German fleet. This
ever present possibility and the fact that
the working ground lay in the principal
thoroughfare of enemy submarines with
attendant incidents of periscope sighting
submarine reports depth charges smoke
screens floating mines and dead German
sailors floating by. lent excitement to
the work which was often bard but
never dull."
The manufacture of these special
mines developed by navy experts from
an invention of an American began in
the United States in leceniber 11117.
The many parts small and large going
into the makeup of a single mine .were
being; constructed by the thousands by
numerous contractors who delivered
them at Norfolk. There the mine
spheres were charged with .TOO pounds
of T.N.T. and with other parts were
loaded into mine carrier steamers man-
aged by the naval overseas transport
service. It required 24 of these vessels
running constantly to keep the 10 mine
planters supplied with mines. The car-
riers were slow and good prey for sub-
marines. One of them the l.akemoor
was sunk last April with a loss of 41
men and 3000 mine anchors and other
parts. All the other mine largoes were
safely delivered.
The flagship Sail Francisco was com-
manded by Captain II. V. Butler and her
consort the cruiser Baltimore by Cap-
tain A. W. Marshall. Four of the mer-
chant vessels used in the fleet were for-
mer 'Morgan liuers carrying freight be-

. SAYE RUSSIA
New Omsk Government Rapidly In-
creasing Authority.
Efforts Being Made bj Kolchak Group
to Unite All Forces for Per-
manent Regime In
Bussia.
Associated Press Report.
OMSK. Siberia. Sunday. Jan. 19. The
Omsk government headed by Admiral
iU!cna& ib rapidly increasing us uuiuur-
ity both east and west of Omsk.
Admiral Kanine it is announced has
been appointed commander of the Russian
Black sea fleet. He is subordinate to
General Denikine who now holds sway
over Odessa the Crimea and Sebastopol.
It is announced in government circles
that the controversy with General Sem-
enoff the antibolshevik leader in the re-
gion of Chita is near settlement. Sem-
enoff it is said has signified his readi-
nesa to join General Dutoff in fighting
the bolsheviki. The commission to try
General Hemenoff will meet1 in a week or
so at Chita. The charges against Sem-
enoff include that of interfering with the
telegraph and railway employes. Allied
officers in Omsk continue their good. of-
fices in the interest of a settlement.
Would Unite All Forces.
M. Savinkoff and Vladimir Bourtzeff.
now in Paris have telegraphed offers of
their support to Admiral Kolchak. The
adherence of Savinkoff is regarded as
adding important strength to the Omsk
government. Admiral Kolchak has tele-
graphed to Savtnoff. declaring: "I con-
sider your acceptance a sign of a distinct
movement which is uniting all forces to
save Russia in this critical hour.'1
It probably wonld be premature aud
ovcroptimistie to declare that the Omsk
government has inaugurated a settled
regime and that insurrections and civil
conflicts in nonbolshevik Russia are at an
end.
There is a unanimous feeling among
many Russians that a powerful personal-
ity like Admiral Kolchak in necessary to
carry the government over the present
crisis. If he succeeds in holding and
strengthening his position in the next six I
months these observers believe In- will!
have formed the nucleus of an orderly mid
permanent regime.
The observers do not believe tluit Kol-
chak is eonspiring to restore the mon-
archy as some or his opponents charge.
They look upon the Kolchak government
as the only group offering hope of a so-
lution. DISTRICT ATTORNEY NAMKI.
