'VULNERABILITY OF THE

to attack ia vital parts, n0twithstand-
ing the man behind the gun may be a
creature of superior qualify, and in a
submarine attack sadly handicapped
to display his superior marksmanship.
Below Thea so-called protective deck
of every battleship, extends the enor-
nous submerged hull, formed of five
eights or three-quarter inch plating
and that is all there is as against tons
Of metal used on the sides, decks and
gun turrets above water. The slow,
almost ludicrous evolution of the tor
pedo boat, has never troubled naval
architects about this weak submerged
hull until Japan is causing a rude
awakening. And it takes about 100
pounds of guncotton compress I'D in a
Whitehead torpedo to make this
awakening very realistic.
The evolution of the modern battle-
ship is the vertical expansion of the
Ericsson submerged monitor of the
civil War with its attendant weak
construction Of the submerged hull.
In addition 10 this, the superstructure
above the gundeck enabled our gum
ners during the Spanish War TO set
lit on fire with shells, and thus it hap
pens that while a battleships vltals
may be amply protected with nickel
plate armor the superstcucture above
and the thin plated hull below become
at once the direct point of attack, in
stead of wasting ammunition to blaze
away through heavy armor II is Ger

But does Japan intend to be caught

Manchuria must have its long line not
only protected with troops but the
stragetic points of Russia on the Pacific
Ocean and the Yellow Sea must have
ample naval power to guard the line

By James q. Scott.

The rapldity with which Japan is de-
stroying the Russian warshps in
Corean waters by means Of torpedo
boats. practically affords the great
maritime powers an object lesson in
naval warfare. 1t not only demands
the closest scrutiny, but as Captain
Mahan of the United States Navy has
said, places the fleet i'm beiIa In the
greatest jeopardy. That is TO say,
Japan In contra distinction to the ac-
cepted mode, has gone on sinking ships
With torpedoes without any reference
fpr concern to the fleet of warships Rus
kfa has assembled at the seat OF war.
II sln the autumn maneuvers of the
Melted States Navy it was demon
strated theoretically, that under GER
tain conditions it would be possible for
Wasp OF the Sea" to pass entrance
forts, and torpedo ships riding quietly
at anchor. The most favorable of these
conditions are dense fogs and wild,
stormy nights. II is true the danger
always exists of having TO run the
gauntlet of a network of submarine
mines by the attacking forces. Yet IN
most cases the danger becomes more
apparent than real when appliances are
fused for exploding them before they are
reached. In the Spanish American
War. however, the utility of this type
OF war vessel never signalized itself on
either side above being mere dispatch
or reconnoitering boats, as quick TO run
away as TO advance.

ships Of the Iowa and Oregon class,
