Revives old situation.

The situation is just such as the de-
partment has been seeking to avoid, that
IS, the purchase of paper boats, rather
than those which have demonstrated
their fitness and efficiency by actual tests.
In fact. a provision for the submission OF
plans and designs was voted down IN
Congress. and the requirement made that
such boats should be purchased only
after complete tests. The effect Of the
opinioh has been 10 bring down upon the
Navy Department a swarm Of inventors
with ideas, designs, plans, and wild
promises only one of whom has even sub
mitted a submarine boat into competition.
and In this instance his boat was declared
by the naval board 10 be inferior 10 the
