would not be left in utter ignorance Of
the details of 1.-The last battle"
Mr.. Russell's drawing shows what
might take place in the second melee,
when the ships, having once passed
through, have turned and rushed again
to the encounter. In the left-hand cor
ner of the picture a white ship has
been rammed by her black opponent.
But she has received the blow SO far
aft that her floating power may con-
ceivably survive. Her adversary, how
ever, Is inevitably doomed. for she is
taking the fire of the white ships 13-
inch turret-guns directly into her vitals.
Nothing afioat could meet that buffet
and live.
In the right-hand corner is a ship
still fighting her guns, but stationary
and ruinously crippled. The white ship
with a huge hole In her side has been
pierced by a shell which has exploded
after entering. The ship with the bat
tered nose has been struck by shell and
afterward rammed in the same spot.
The long, black ship on the left, In the
middle distance, Is one of the reserve
line. She has crept In unobserved and
unopposed. and every CUR is dealing
out destruction.
Every ship which has lived through
the first melee Is, OF course, riddled like
q tin can. SO far as her unarmored por-
lions are concerned. Smoke-stacks,
superstructure, military masts. the
framework of bow and stern-all that
makes her look like q ship-may be
shot away: but while her armored VI
tails are not pierced she will float. and
while her turrets--16 inches Of tenn
pered steel-are lot shattered she can
fight.
Thus 1t comes that certain ships In
the picture. which look Is II they
should be laundering. are still doing
deadly work In the battle.
The picture, as q whole, may be TAX
en- as a refutation of the views Of those
critics who would make little OF the
difference between ancient and modern
war.

ulting humiliation were complete or
only partial.
Az to the second query, experts DIFF

a logical result of the collision OF such
vast destructive forces.

that there would surely be survivors
from "the last battle" but that they
would probably be SO crippled that
they could never make port.
At the opposite extreme was the
view Of an experienced officer, who
held that the difference between an
Gent and modern war Is much exag-
gerated, Between big guns at long
range and bludgeons hand-to-hand
there would be about the difference
which individual courage always
makes. There would be some to night

brave days OF old. And there would

most plausible one, was supported by

The composure of mind which II Is
desirable to secure as a harbinger Of

1t may be, and sleep. for II work be

The reader OF Mr.. Percy Harris pro-
phetic dream. entitled "The Last Bat
le," will doubtless put his first com
ments in the form of two queries:
Could the extinction of war be COM
passed in such a fashion? And could
n death-grapple Of the worlds fleets
result in such absolute humiliation?
On account of the Importance Of the
theme, both the story and the illustra-
ton have been submitted to expert
criticism. officers of high rank in the
naval service have passed detailed
judgment on both.
Indeed. 1t Is only fair to say that the
remarkable double-page picture of the
battle which is published in this issue
OF the Illustrated American was drawn
by our artist while aboard the flagship
New York, during the recent Charles
ton maneuvers, and under the frequent
scrutiny AMI criticism Of the officers
of the fleet.
Article 235 of the United States Navy
Regulations forbids the quoting of
these opinions, but the general tenor
of them may be given in a few para
graphs.
Whatever the reply to the second
query, there can be little doubt as to
the first. Already peace principles are
In the ascendant. and quarrels which a
generation back would have burst out
with blood and fire are now smoothed
down by arbitration. In view OF the
appalling destructiveness Of modern
war, a death-grapple of the nations
