Submarine Boat Tests.

A French submarine torpedo boat lies at
the bottom of the Mediterranean sea off
Bzerta, entombing fourteen men, for
whose rescue no hope is now entertained.
This boat went down in the course of a
series of tests on Tuesday and failed to rise
after the prescribed period had elapsed.
All efforts to raise her have failed.
This Is the second French boat thus to
drown her crew. and comparisons have been
Instituted between the craft of the French
type and those in use in the American
navy to the advantage of the latter. 1t is
claimed by the American naval authorities
that disaster such as that just reported is
virtually impossible in these waters. ow
ing to the superior safety devices of the
American boats. They have, it is urged.
a better arrangement of ballast tanks and
larger reserve OF compressed air. So con-
hdent are the department officials that the
American boats can stand all the usual
tests that the sinking of the Lutin will
prooably not cause any change in the pro-
gram which calls for a series of trials in
Narragansett bay in a short time.
1t may be that our boats are more reIi
able than the French, and that the per-
cehtase OF danger Is so small as to be ig-
nored in peace tests, but the possibility of
remains. Inasmuch as these boats are de-
signed solely for war use, their peace tests
should serve, of course, to demonstrate
their capacity for sinking and rising
In various conditions of the sea. Such
tests, however, can easily be conducted
with safeguards against disaster. Air tubes
connecting the interior of the boat with
the surface can be provided for use In an
emergency, and their presence will in no
degree lessen the value of the demonstra-
tons, There is no advantage In exposing
human beings to destruction for the sake
OF the technical approximation of actual
service conditions. The emergency air tube.
such as would probably have saved the
lives of the fourteen men on the Lutin,
would not initiate against complete proof
OF the capacity Of the craft to perform ac-
cording to specifications in time of war.
