SUBMARINE TORPEDO BOATS.

Sir William II White has Just finished a series
Of articles on submarine boats for the Engi-
neerng Supplement of THE London Times"
In the final paper he INDUCES in general con-
clusions' which are sure TO attract attention
wherever his public service is known. For
nearly twenty years he was responsible for the
designs of all vessels built for the British Adj
m1ralty During that period he showed finer
understanding of other requisites of naval policy
than the principles Of marine architecture and
he is to-day Of the leading authorities of the
world on such topics. Inasmuch as nothing
seems to have been learned from the recent war
in the East concerning the practical value of the
submarine, the attitude to be adopted regarding
1t by naval powers must still be dictated entirely
by theoretical considerations. Under these cir
cumstances the opinions of Sir William White
will command peculiar respect.
Perhaps the most significant remark of the
retired chief constructor is this: at may be
doubted whether on the whole swift surface
torpedo boats may not prove more effective
than slow submarines in getting attacks home
'and inJuring an enemy in daylight" Even
though there has of late been an Improvement
In the speed OF submarines, Ii is not comparable
with that which cruisers and battleships can de-
velop. If the target Is stationary of course it
can be hit at short range; but since the folly of
keeping still when there is any chance of such
attack is recognized. there must always
be difficulty In delivering it effectively Again
though there has been much talk about the
serviceability Of the periscope, with which an
observation of the enemy is made before the re-
leasing of torpedo, Sir William is not satisfied
| that the apparatus will work well in any hut
smooth water.
An American device which is now being tested
on the other side of the Atlantic is an adapta-
ton OF the telephone to the reception of fog
signals transmitted through the water The In
vention was designed primarily for the proven
ton OF accidents to merchant vessels: but naval
experts have been considering the question
whether II could not also be utilized in war.
Captain Bacon, who has charge of the British
submarine ffotilla, incIines to think that the
invention might prove more useful in attack
than In defence. Sir William White takes a
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1905-10-26

different view of the matter. So long as poat
was being propelled by an electric motor II
would probably give no indication or It's ap
preach; but until ii is ready to dive submarine
relies on Its gasolene engine. and Sir william is
confident that the sound emitted would serve
as warning to vigilant enemy II It's shlps
were equipped with suitable telephones. Inc
point is not to be decided hastily. OF course
Special tests might well be made TO uiShhe ali
uncertainty but it looks II the veteran chle1
constructor had the hest of the argument hi
present.
The strongest reason yet advanced Tor adding
submarine boats to any navy is probably that
which Admiral Dewey gave to Congress
committee two three years ago He heheves
that the moral effect on the officers and men OF
a fleet which is threatened by such craft is an
important factor in naval policy. Besides. def
mite knowledge that these boats are available
for the defence of a harbor or coast line Will
compel the commander of attacking or block
aiding force to modify his tactics. Naval SUI
premacy IT is now growing more and more evil
dent daily is to be determined by big ships, not
little ones; but even so conservative an adviser
as Sir William White is not ready to discard
any possible means of protection from them LII
the French naval authorities have. on the one
hand. been overenthusiastic about the merits OF
the submarine ii would seem to be unwise, on
the other TO dispense with it altogether.

CANAL CIAAOR.

The Presidents plain words at Mobile en- the
subject of interested clamor against the Pan
anna Canal were timely and appropriate. 1t is
a pity that there should have been need Of them.
but the discredit rests those who made the
need. The world knows that IN De Lessepss
day astute men, with millions Of dollars at their
disposal, exercised forbidden and abhorrent'
influences against the rival American project
ct Nicaragua. There is to-day an equally I'M
srupulous conspiracy against Panama, not.
however, in favor Of some rival canal route, but
In hostility to any canal at all. Its methods of
operation are varied and devious Sometimes
the opposition affects to advocate another canal
route which 1T knows TO be impracticable, but
which 1t plausibly misrepresents as far better
than that at Panama and ii hypocriticaIly pro-
fesses ardent devotion to the canal project and
deplores the wasting Of time and means at Pan
anna when so much better route is available
Sometimes it works by wanton Justification of
conditions at Panama saying that SO many
men have deserted the work, that such or such
an officer has resigned in despair or that vel
low fever has again broken out-all fabricstions
At other times it works IN other ways but al
ways with the same end In view-to defeat or
at any rate 10 embarrass and delay, the enter
prise which the government has undertaken.
The conspiracy will fail because its apimus
and its mendacity are well understood and be-
cause- however desperately Ii may Try 10 dis
seminate falsehoods, 1t cannot suppress the
truth nor prevent its circulate In the face of
its sinister innuendoes about the isthmian

disputable fact that since August q there has
been not single case Of yellow fever reported
from Colon, and since September IA not CA Sc
