COMBAT The Navy Department. after
announcing the bare results yesterday
has lapsed into silence again. Admiral
Togo appears to have planned and laid
complete tray, which fitted Admiral

outmanoeuvred, outfought and outshot
the Russians. fearlessly taking their
gIighcset cruisers against the heavy Rus
sian arnlor clad battleships and joining
battleships with armored cruisers,
smothering them with gunfirc.
Tremendous interest attaches to the
submarine vessels. The Navy Depart
ment is silent on this point but:it is
confidently believed that submarines were
effectively used for the first time In his
tory. Theoretically, the sea was too
rough for the employment of submarines

Togo's victory is wonderful. IT seems

Could there be a better illustration of

torious Russia would have then had
complete control of the sea; would have

!.The result of the battle is the most
