Summary Of War News to Date.

A German biplane passed over Paris
Monday and dropped a projectiIe,
which. however, did not explode.
A long official statement is issued
by the French war office reviewing
the operations in Belgium and along
the French frontier. A new retire
ment by the allied forces is recorded
and seemingly the Germans are max
ing daily advances toward Paris.
The statement is optimistic with
reference to the opposition which the
French and British are offering to the
German advance.
No further details are forthcoming
regarding the general battle. which
apparently is in progress all along the
line.
The French war minister has in
spected the supplementary defenses
around Paris, which are being rapid
ly pushed forward in anticipation of
a possible investment of the French
capital.
An Antwerp dispatch credits Gen
eral Pau with a victory over $4,000
Germans near Peronnes. Whether
this is new victory or one to which
reference was made several days ago
Is not known.
According to official advices re-
ceived at Washington, France is con-
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY of moving
the seat of government to Bordeaux.
Great Britain has joined France in
Directing to the purchase by the
United States of German liners in
connection with the plan to build up
an American merchant marine.
It is reported by steamship officers
arriving at Honolulu that British war
ships off Hongkong are holding up
all vessels, including those under the

are said to follow one or more Of the
French types
The submarine, from a romantic
viewpoint. should be great factor in
deciding a naval engagement. but the
fact remains that up to the present
time it has done nothing to prove it's
value. II was believed that the moral
effect of the submarine would be al
most as important as its physical eff
feet upon an enemy's warship: but
this belief has not been Justified up to

There were notions that there would
be terrific fights under the seas by

1t Is known that the periscope is
the eye Of the submarine. and natural
iy attention has been paid to the best
way OF destroying this vital part OF
these boats.
Submarine Versus Airships.
The designers of the submarine did
not count upon 1t being seen. II was
believed that 1t would go upon it's wav
dealing death without observation. al
though its periscope does mako a
slight wake on the water, and when
submerged there are telltale bubbIas
But it has been discovered that from
a certain height an observer may trace

submarine. which was a dream i'm 1865.
IS owned by the navy of the smallest
power II is true that single subma-
rines are not expected to accomplish
much in a real struggle, so the larger
nayies Of the great powers have fleets
or submarines. The aeroplane and the
dirigible balloon are to be found in the
possession OF all armies in Europe to
day, yet they, too, are only expected to
be of real service when they are pos
sessed in large numbers.
The airships and the submarines are
the wasps Of modern warfare. Like
the little insect, while they have
powerful sting, they are very vulner-
able, and may be easily crushed and
rendered powerless.
AeropIane and Wireless.
In the recent smaller wars. aero
plans have been used to a limited ex-
tent, and this use has been so much
limited that their real efficiency is ex-
pected to be finally determined by the
present war.
1t is much the same with the wire
less telegraph. While it was used in
the Russo-japanese war of ten years
ago. the apparatus was still rudimen-
tary, and the installations too few.
while the range of the apparatus was
too limited to show the greatest elf
cheney. In the intervening decade. how
ever, great advance has been made in
wireless. 1t is now possible and. in
deed, is custom every day, TO send
and receive messages from distance
of more than 5000 miles. This, then.
is a new and important factor in naval
operations. as was seen by the censor
ship put over the great sending sta
tons on this side of the Atlantic by
the United States authorities.
Wireless has also been successfully
attached to aeroplanes.
The submarine was in existence in
1904, but it was a very different sea
wasp to that which England. France
and Germany are using today. Yet it's
real value is yet to be determined, and
it is expected that this demonstration
will come during the present conflict.
Rapid Increase Of Submarines.
At the time of the Spanish-American
war there were only five submarines
