Submarines' Use
Strictly Limited
According to all the naval officials
%hum a correspondent of the Brook
syn Eagle was able to irterview at
Washington, Gertnany's threat of cut
Ling off the food supply of the British
Isles is simply a bluff, and will have
no more bearing upon the course of
the war than the bombardment of un
fortified coast towns,andthe drop
ping of bombs upon civilian population
The American officers, of course, are
MIL pet mitted to speak for publication
and on this account their names are
suppressed. However, in the course
of the recent investigation of a House
Oonamittee into American naval pre
pareduess, several officers of high rank
gave evidence which applies very
closely to the case in po:nt. For in
stance, they gave their opinions about
the submarine, told of its uses and its
imitatious, and as far as a sort of
blockade of British ports is concerned
it is the lirnitetions rather than the
possibilities of the submarine that are
more impreseive.
Depends on Submarines.
It is trile�n for 'granted that Ger
many's declaration of a war zone
round England and Ireland, which is,
in effect„ an attempt at blockade, is
besed on her belief in the effective
nese of her enbmarines, That she will
attempt to make good here boast of
destroying merchant vessels by any -
'Mug but submarines is not believed.
Otherwise it would mean tbat she was
prepared to risk here battleships, or a
squadron of them, in a fight againt the
preponderating strength ot the British
navy, which would atnount to a policy
.of heel kari, which Germany is not
likely to contemplete. More over.
any successes that Germany has had
in the naval vearefate to date, if we
except the diaster off the: Falkland
Wands, which was so mercilessly re-
paid by the British squadron a few
weeks later, have been achieved by the
submarine. it is to the subinerine
that Getmany looks to "whittle down"
the Brtish navy. or rather it would be
more accurate to say that it was to the
Submarine that she looked before it
was demonstrated that against battle-
ships moving at speed the under -the -
water craft is not more effective than
is the Zeppelin against an aurny.
To Frustrate Submarines.
Baying found that it would take a
generation for her submarines at their
present tabs of progress to reduce the
British fleet to 5 parity with her own,
Germany has determined to strike at
the merchantmen. But, a few days
ago the captain of the Laertes showed
that even a merchant vessel of average
speed, if well handled, leas litile to fear
• from these sharks. If the merchant
vessel le kept moving at . good speed,
and eepecially.,If the cantain keeps' a
gigzeg course, she w riot more likely to
be hit by a torpedo discharged from a
submarine than a gineinsoldier in 'the

trenches is apt to be bit by a give
bullet. This points to one of ib
weaknesses of the submarine -its lad
of epeed. On the surfece the best the
Submarine can do is about 18 knots,
and when it is on the surface three
quarters of it effectiveness is gone.
The average ocean going vessel can
make better speed, and is apt to break
records when the submarine is visible
Under the water its speed is reduced
by leer cent. Unless it can come to
the side of its intented victim unseen
it has small chance of dealing an effec-
tive blow.
Not Selnsupporting.
Admiral Badger, of the U. S. navy
said recently that elle eubmarine was
not a self supporting craft, and it is
this weakness„of enenierenen destroy
ers that gives the naiad eXP'erts reason.
to believe that any damage it will do
will be negligible. The submarines
developed hy Germany since the war
begen, even if they areas powerful as
Berlin claims, are able to carry sup
plies for a voyage of only 2,500 mile ,
505 00 the COM se of one trip cannot,
cover more than 2,OLO miles, which
means, perhaps, 500 miles to the Eng
lishveast, 500 runes back and a cruise
ot 1,000 miles lying in wart for a mer
chnritman. This does not cover an
extensive period of time such as would
be necessary it an effective blockade
were to he maintained. The suhrua
rine cannot remain long away &omits
base, nor can the men aboard contin
ue at their poste for lengthened periods
without a rest. To really effective as
a blockader the submarine should be
occompanied by a supply ship. But
the supply ship wou'd simply be a
mark for the British vessels, and this
arrangement is out of the question.
Olds Are Even.
n Mrs. A, Wood an, who has been ill
is able to be up and around again.
Rev. Mr., Reid of Londeshoro took
the services on Sunday lest in the
Presbyterian church on account of
Rev. Mr. Turner being ill.
As stated previously, the great
weapon of the submarine is ice ability
to approach an enemy unseen. An
attack delivered at a distance of more
than a mile is likely to be ineffective
American experts believe that in fay
or ,ble circumstances the wash created
by a submarine periscope may be noted
at a distance of 4,000 yards, while in
in circumstances less favorable to the
under the water craft it may be seen
6,000 or 7,000 yards away. At this
range, of course, shooting at the pule
cope would he ueeless, and the proper
strategy would be retreat; but when a
submarine close enough to launch a
torpedo, she is close enough to be fired
upon, and the vessel, even if she hap
pens to he an armored merchantman,
hes, with her superior speeel, an equal
chance of sending the submarine to
the bottom. There will be occasions.
no doubt, when the submarine wi.1
strike her death blow, as she has done
in the past; but her average success
in the future, despite the proclamation
from Berlin, is not likely to he greater
than it has been.

Clinton sent a hockey team down
here on Thursday evening al d
they proved the fastest seven seen
on local ice this year. They scored
rings 'around are boys, the results
being 10-1 or thereabouts but
the score ing d'd not indinate the
play entirely. The visitors were
raster than the locals and play,. d
a neater combination while they
had apoint man that assisted the
goal keeper wonderfully tgetting
about three out of every four
shots on the nets. Our boys did
some excellent shooting but they
could not get past the b ig fellow
-and the shore were numerous -
so many that if half the good ones
had gotten through as eneinton's
the score would not have been far
from even. The visitors were
fine bunch boys, good natured and
good sports while the referee pick
ed off the dirty work in fine ord

short terms. He had control all
