Dreams that become realities! Over

claim can be made for the future part

are to play In warfare. which seems
impossible or improbable. although
there are many military experts who
smile at the idea that either the sub

hand the big world powers continue to
buy and build the submarine and to
experiment in air navigation and
there is no telling what may not be
accomplished In the years to come in
perfecting these engines OF war along
practical lines.
The recent shipment from New York
Vity OF two submarines. destined for

OF the extensive maneuvers which
have been planned for the rest OF
the home notilla are again attracting
attention to the type Of craft which
carries Its load line over the hatch.
In the discussions which have taken
place relative to the merits OF the type
there is a notable difference of opin-
ion. There are now upward OF 200 OF
this type afloat, or perchance sub
merged. and 1t may be small exagger-
alton to say that there are as many
divergent views concerning them.
There is no naval power, great or
small. but now has its submarines.
The vast majority OF these are merely
variants Of the Holland type. Having
