HELPING THE HUN SUBMARINES.
Tho wireless direction-finding stations along the English coast, during the war, although being of great service to our ships, aro stated to havo often helped lost German submarines to get their bearings. Tho Hun submarines wore fitted with wireless to communicate with their bases, and whenever they sent a wireless message our stations immediately discovorod their position and flashed "it to tho fleets. It often happened that a submarine did not .qnito know where it was, and, to find out, tho Germans sent any sort of message, and wailed. Our diroc-tion-finding stations heard tho message, discovered its position, and immediately sent it out, so lliat tlio submarine, listening-in, knew where, it was, took its bearings, and ran away.
