UNDER SEt FIGHT
Destruction Of British Vessels
by German Submarines
Has Included Only Warships Of
Minor Importance.
rBy J. w. T. Mason

New York, Oct. 16.-The destruc-
ton Of the British light cruiser Hawke
by a German submarine represents
exclusively gain in morale for Ger
many. From the point of view Of
sea power, the loss of the vessel is
without importance. The Hawke had
naval conditions, being twenty-three
year: old and destined for quick re-
tirement.
Nevertheless. the success of the
German submarine has a value quite
apart from the actual losses suffered
by the rival feet. The German navy
having never had an opportunity to
demonstrate its fitness and the skin
and initiative of its officers under hos
tile conditions has been An unknown
quantity by the Germans as well as
the rest of the world. The victories
won under the sea will give a conf
dence to the German sailors that un-
doubleday will spur them. to greater
efforts.
In this fact lies the, possibility for
an ultimate sweeping victory for
Great Britain. A few more minor
victims falling before her submarines,
may arouse the German naval COM
manders to, taNch a pitch of enthusi-
asm as to cause. a desperate attempt
German battle fleet may then risk a
surface engagement withs the greatly
superior British squadron. Such a
conflict, If successful, would win the
war for her.
The chances against q German VIC
tory are mucn more than the two to
one superiority of the British warships.
One heavyweight prize fighter attacked
by two others, with all in first class
condition. has far less than one chance
in three of winning. At the same time,
a possibility Of success does exist.
This possibility is increased in imagi-
nation among German sailors by the
submarine successes. II the German
warships come out from thier harbors
of safety and attempt to destroy the
British navy. perhaps the chief factor
in the decision will be the psychology
fcal effect OF the submarine raids.
The five British warships which have
been sunk by the submarines, were
cruisers with no first line strength.
The chief aim of the German naval
strategists, Is to work destruction
among these first line units.
How effective the submarine will be-
come in an open fight, only time can
tell. British submarines greatly OUT
number the Germans and unprece-
denied exploits may result.
