NAVAL METHODS
PAST A" PRESENT
BY ARTHUR CASPERSZ
The writer has made four war
voyages. Personal observation has
convinced him of the efficacy of the
various methods employed by our
navy to ensure, as far as is humanly
possible, the safety of our ships and
of those of neutral nations. The
submarine menace exists—the dee
spairing resort of the enemy of the
human race—but the sands of time
are sinking and the day of deliver-
ance is at hand,
A SENSATIONAL STORY.
Most people want sensational de-
tails of the methods by which sub-
marines are captured or destroyed.
A story something eke this, Some-
where in the Mediterranean an inno-
cent looking freighter was boarded
and searched by a naval patrol and
was found to be a simply ship for
German submarines, Her "neutral"
crew was removed. A 4.7 gun and
a couple of machine guns were put
on board and she continued ,her ahn-
less voyage. Presently up bobbed
the periscope of U-boat number 1,
which duly mime alongside in re-
sponse to flag signals and surrender-
ed Thereafter, at intervals, five
other U-boats were decoyed along-
side, and surrendered. You may be-
lieve this story or not. Probably
you are content to have your palate,
tickled by the flavor of the mystery.
But since you will never know, un-
til the war is over, and probably not
even thee, how precisely these things
are done, it Illay be worth your
while to trace how security at sea
happened to come to pass.
LUXURIOUS TRAVELLING
Long periods of peace and the ex-
tension of travelling facilites by
means of steel ships and steam pow-
er have made the world callous, Few
people are aware of the painful and
dangerous times through which com-
parative safety was assured to freight,
human or mercantile.
The torpedoing of valuable vessels
and the reckless destruction of more
valuable lives sends a thrill of horror
through ,our too -civilized bodies, It
had becolne .a sort of citizen right,
deleted by all civilized peoples, that
everyone should travel safely and ex-
peditiously, regardless of winds and
storms, perils of the seas, and the
King's enemies,
Especially do those who live in
he vast middle territories of the Am-
etrican continent, who have never
stood upon the sea shore when the
gales are agitating the surface of
the great deeps, find it imposisble to
picture the elusive tactics of thous-
ands of freighters weaving their
perilous ways through submarine
danger zones. "Lest we forget"
what our forefathers did for us, it
becomes the duty of us all to under-
stand how England has been able in
two years to increase the personnel
of its Grand Fleet from 130,000 men
n 1914 to upwards of half a million
.0 1916, how 4,000 ships enter and
eave the ports of the United. Kingdom
n a single week, according to the
elfish official statement (exclusive of
hing and local craft), out of which
tst number only a score may be sunk
•v mine or submarine, while perhaps
t dozen or twenty others successfully
resisted submarine attacks. •
SHAKESPEARE AND SEA PERILS
Voyaging was always perilous. The
old time mariner crept along the
:mast from harbor to harbor, `avoid.
Mg the months of storm, He found
a haven "commodious to winter tit,"
as you may rend in the 27th chapter
of the Acts of the Apostles. There
was always the danger of Pirates.
Shakespeare makes Caesar, in An-
tony and Cleopatra, listen to the re»
port of a messenger relating how
"Menecrates and Memis famous pirates
Make the sea serve them . .
No vessel can peep forth but 'Hs as

In the "Merchant of Veniee" An-
tonio has ventures "squandered
abroad" to Mexico, TripOlis or Bar-
bary, Lisbon, and England. Three
of his argosies richly came to the
harbor suddenly; a fourth Is wrecked

In "Othello" we have the Duke of

GROWTH OF ENGLISH SHIPPING
It was about Shakespear's time
that England first began to trade in
the far iseas, English shipping grew
steadily from Alfred's Hine through
the Norman and Plantagenet per-
iods, always in conflict with the
Hanseatic League or Turkish pirates,
convoying armies to France when
our kings claimed sovereignty there
until in the seventeenth century, the
New World route having been open-
ed out by Columbus and others, and
certain adventrous Portugese and
Dutch sailors having navigated round
the Cape to India, the day of the
Companies began.
In 15St the Levant Company with
factories at Smyrna was formed. In
1579 the Eastland Company began
trading in the Baltic. In 1600 the
East India Company started, The Hud-
son's Bay Company followed later, in
1670.
The fleet which harrassed and foiled
the Armada in 1585 was largely com-
posed of merchant ships. The tonnage
of that day of all English ships did not
exceed the tonnage of a present day
liner of moderate dimensions, By the
time of the Napolenoic wars it had
grown enormously.
This great extension of trading
came about under a system of mo-
nopolies and protection which was
eventually broken up, Its abandon-
ment was due in no small degree to
the theories of Adam Smith and Rin -
hard Cobden.
Trading to far lands' being very
dangerous by reason of piratical acts
of the nations both in peace and
war, and because of the undoubted
perils of the seas, a continual con-
flict went on between the privileged
companies and the free merchant
adventurers. It was also e.onsidered
necessary to stimulate home industries
at the expense of Ireland and of for-
eign countries such as Portugal, Spain,
France and Holland. Such a policy also
ran counter to the interests of the Am-
erican colonies, Nevertheless, under
such a policy England obtained the
Carrying trade of the world and es-
tablished industries, which with the ad-
vent of inventions, made her a great
manufacturing country,
"YE MARINERS OF ENGLAND."
It would be erroneous to attribute
success to policy or protection.
Rather it was due to individual dar-
ing and resourcefulness. It is the
men who make a city—the sailors
who grasped the sovereignty of the
seas in those lawless and tempest-
uous times. So will it be now.
Heredity and a similarity of con-
ditions cause the daring exploits of
the past to be repeated into a too
civilized present.
In the thne of Queen Elizabeth
every merchant ship was armed and
had to run the gauntlet of the Span-
ish' navy whenever it entered the
Mediterranean.
For about three centuries before
that the fishing boats of the North
sea had to encounter the piratical
methods of the Hanseatic League,
the principal cities of which were
Ilamborg, Bremen and Lubeck.
For a couple of centuries after
that the channel was constantly
swept, first by the Dutch warships,
afterwards by French privateers and
warships.
Admiral Hughes fought the French
admiral Suffren in ',the Bay of Bengal
for five successive seasons about Cli-
ve's time. Fierce fights raged in seas
remote from the tight little island and
across all the trade routes: The ac-
tivates of the Enntent and other Ger-
man raiders are no new things,
Through all the centuries there ex-
isted a rice of hardy adventurous
sail-
ors around the coasts of England, men
ingenious, subtle and greatly daring.
The Germans did not reckon with that
when they launched their campaign of
submarine frightfulness, They are
meeting the descendants of the old sea
kings, men trained in the school of
poverty, self-scarilice and hourly peril.
'Can you doubt the result?

rr0 win this war every ounce of the
IL strength of each of the allied nations
must be put forth to meet the organized,
trained and disciplined efficiency of the Central
Powers—that gigantic, ruthless force which is the result
of fifty years of planning and preparation.
And every ounce of every allied nation's strength is in
the hands and brains and hearts of the individuals of
each nation, because they are free peoples.
Now the individuals of each nation must live as well as
fight, therefore a proportion of the effortandmaterial
of each nation must be diverted from war purposes to
living necessities,
So the less each individual takes for himself or herself
for personal use the more effort will there be left for
fighting and winning the war.
Every cent you spend represents that much effort be-
cause somebody must do something for you in order to
earn that cent—somebody's y's offort must be given to
you instead of to the war.
Therefore the less you spend—the less of somebody's
effort you tape for your individual use—the _more will
you leave in the national surplus for war effort.
The war can be won only by the surplus strength of
the allied nations. The money each individual saves
represents that surplus strength.
So the truly loyal Canadian will use less, spend less,
and save more, to help to win the war.
