man submarine fiotilla, the 'U-9"-
proved to the world that Verne. dream
ing his thought -to-be-impossible Wis
ion, was even then pointing a prophetic
finger toward one Of the most danger
GUS engines of war in today's A1l-Eu
ropean struggle.
Early in the hostilities the subma-
rine boat made its appearance in the
present conflict. picking off unprotect-
ID and isolated ships of small tonnage.
But the real significance of the deadly
little water bugs" Of modern sea
Tghts did not become apparent until
nat September morning when. in a
light haze which spread across the
rim reaches of the bleak North sea.
his Britannia ma1esty's cruisers Abou-
kir. Hogue and Cressy lay gray-bulked
against leaden sky on patrol duty.
Something very like the shadow of
great porpoise stood toward the
Aboukir. 1t was the German subma-
rine. U-9. The periscope of the sub
mersible. cutting the sluggish waves.
told the German crew. safe inside her
cigar-shaped skin. that the British
cruiser lay. a fair mark, half q nauti-
cal mile away.
Somewhere within the cold steel
bowels Of the German water bug" an
air flask" coughed and a spindle tor
pedo left its tube. headed unerringly
upon a journey of death and destruc-
ton.
With hole ripped to her vita1s on
her starboard beam, the Aboukir wal
lowed. stricken to the death. Her con-
sorts closed IN to stand by, the Hogue
dead ahead. the Cressy about 400 yards
on her port beam. both lowering boats
to pick up survivors. under the mis-
taken belief that the wounded ship
had struck a mine.
Thirty-fve minutes later the Abou-
kir went to the bottom, to be followed
at short intervals by the Hogue and
the Cressy. upon which the submarine
had opened fire. So within short
hour the little Us had cleared the
waves of three of England's great
fighting craft and sent down with them
sixty officers and fourteen hundred
men.
And here is the message which the
C-9 sent to the world through her tor
pedo tubes, September %. in the gray
North sea: The submarine Is the great
est offensive as well as defensive craft
ever designed.
Evening star., 1914-11-01

No super-dreadno can withstand
the attack of submarine torpedo, and
the ultra battleship's only safety lies
in flight. Awash, or submerged, the
submarine travels invisible, and since
the sinking of the Aboukir and her
consorts every man aboard the thou
sand armored hulls of the warning ma
vies must keep constantly before his
mind the fear that without warning or
sign. any minute Of the day or night,
cloudy or fair. he and his hundred sal
iormen brothers of war may be wiped
from the face of the shifting sea at
the tick of a single moment!
The United States government real
lied these truths in the late eighties, at
a time when the British admiralty
scofed at the idea. declaring that q
for a weaker nation. But Great Brit
ain was converted. and her first sub
marine was launched at Barrow-in-
Furniss November 2. 1901. Today the
craft built or building and eight, one
Of which is to be of the giant sea-
going type. authorized. while Great
Britain in January. 1914. had seventy
two built and twenty-five building
Germany at first held an opinion akin
70 that of England. But in 1905 she,
100, became convinced. and at the be-
ginning of this year she had twenty
four built and twelve building.
France. the first nation to actually
make of submarine-or rather a So
called "submersibie"-an engine of
war. had at the same time seventy-ave
built and eighteen building; Japan.
thirteen built and two building; Rus
sia thirty built and twenty-five build
ing. and Austria about eight built; so
that somewhere in the seven seas to-
day there are approximately 324 of
these mosquito war vessels, each capa.
pie of doing untold damage.
1t has been a far cry from the first
practical torpedo boat to the present
efficient submarine which is to be found
in all of the hrst-class navies of the
world John P. Holland, an American
inventor, perfected the first practical
craft of its sort. OF his boat, which
was tried out in the Potomac river. Ad-
miral Dewey said: Had the Spaniards
owned two such boats, I would never
have been able to take Manila"
The Holland boat at that period en-
bodied only the rudimentary principles
but in almost every modern type of
submersible the influence of the Hol-
land boat can be traced. although the
