SEAS PERlLS EVER PRESENT
Maneuvers and Sham Battles Cannot
30 Held Without tho Element
Of Danger.

1t is the great distinction OF the sea
that Its peace maneuvers are ne Ier
sham fights. To whatever branch or
grade Of the naval service a seaman
may belong, when he is on active
service he Is always face to face with
the real thing" A mistake OF any
sort, pardonable miscalculation, q
momentary failure Of nerve or atten-
ton, or even some small unavoidable
accident, may involve the forfeit OF
many lives. Hence the magnificent
training the sea imposes in manli
ness, resourcefulness and self.control.
The submarine branch of the navy
has undoubtedly risks and dangers OF
its own, as the sad tale OF previous
disasters plainly shows; and when a
catastrophe unhappily occurs II is OF
n nature to make profound impress
sion upon the public. But in relation
TO the number OF submarines in com.
mission, and to the constant exercise
they undergo, the picked officers and
MN who serve In them do not incur a
risk out Of all proportion greater than
their comrades In other branches.
Danger and risk are no peculiar
prerogative of the submarine. Daily
laced in the routine Of duty and daily
overcome, they form the very founda-
ton of naval character, and are a
pledge, In no small degree, OF the SO.
curity upon which as a nation we re,
pose.
