WAITING FOR THE GERMAN CRUISERS.
GERMAN STRENGTH IN SUBMARINES. GREATER THAN WAS SUPPOSED. BUENOS AYRES, Dec. 2. I Twelve British warships are south of Buenos Ayres, awaiting the Germans. It is understood that the Germans have a number of secret rendezvous, where they meet colliers, thus obviating calls at neutral ports for coal supplies. LONDON, Dec. 2. The Daily Telegraph points out that Germany has considerably more submarines than she was supposed to possess, having exercised a pre-emp-tion over an unknown number constructing at Danzig or in the Germania yard for lesser European and other navies. The paper is of opinion, however, that the achievements of the German submarines will be less remarkable in the future than hitherto, the British fleet, by its speed and use of the helm, showing its ability to avoid submarine attacks.
