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 *V8eing Nog..turIr) Kg*, , .nnsnsene,„, , I PAGE PTV 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. poose••••••••••••••••••••• District News. • •••••••••••••••••••••••••• Lonclesb oro PSf . r.
