Her trial will be made to deter

than her contract speed there is
no doubt. In fact, it is expected
that she will have plenty to spare

French Naval Maneuvefs With
out Result-The Funny Sub
marine Boat-Paris Authorities
Unable To Meet Obligations
The Sultan And Some Of His
Franks.

1t does not appear that the recent
French naval maneuvres contributed
much toward the settlement of the
question of the practical value of the
new submarine boats in actual war.
There seems to be no doubt, however
that they often got within range of
battle-ships attacking harbors, or that,
as has been generally Admitted, they
are likely to prove valuable additions to
fixed mines in narrow channels. I'm
fortunately, the experiments do not
seem to have been very thorough or
convincing. The submarines were not
provided with dummy torpedoes, so
that the assaults upon their adversaries
were wholly imaginary. If they sue
ceeded in reaching a certain position
unobserved they were held to have
been successful. AS rule apparently,
they we're discovered by means of their
periscopes rather easily and of course
the commanders of battle-ships blazed
away at everything that looked in the
least degree suspicious. 1t is said that
some of the submarines amused them
selves by sending bottles to the surface.
These, which were often mistaken for
periscopes, drew the fire of the ships
on one side while the submarine was
the other. OF course this
was a perfectly legitimate ruse. The
weak point in the experiments was that
the submarines knew just where the bat
tle-shlps were to be, while the latter
had to follow an official programme.
