Board, of which Admiral Charles N.

mines and it Is learned that emphasis
will be placed on the advantage OF
substituting submarine boats for
mines in harbor defense.
Discussing the subject n member
Of the committee said today: mines
cannot be relied upon In time OF war.
Trials given submarine mines in Mar.
ragansett bay resulted unsuccessfully,
aue chiefly to the strong currents
which sweep through the harbor and
entrances to the bay and make these
defenses extremely dangerous. This
is one OF the important subjects that
the Fertilization Board has already
taken up and will thoroughly examine
during the inspection of Notifications
and the land and floating defenses.
"The established fact that a number
OF the Russian war ships were blown
up by their own submarine mines,
and the present practice of England
in discarding submarine mine defenses
to a great extent in harbors where
there are wide channels to defend and
where the tides are strong, ard plac.
ing there submarine boats, had added
to the sentiment in favor of replacing
mines with boats"
