submarine. which was a dream In
1855, Is owned by the navy OF the
smallest power. 1t Is true that single
submarines are not expected to ac-
complish much In real struggle, so
the larger navies OF the great powers
have fleets of submarines. The aero
plane and the dirigible balloon are to
be found In the possession of all arm
les In Europe today. yet they. too. are
only expected to be of real service
when they are possessed in large num-
bers.
The airships and the submarines are
the wasps of modern warfare. Like
the little insect, while they have a
powerful sting. they are very vulner-
able. and may be easily crushed and
rendered powerless.
Aeroplane and Wireless.
In the recent smaller wars, aero
planes have been used to 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 tho wire
less telegraph. While 1t 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 eff
cheney. In the Intervening decade, how
ever, great advance has been made in
wireless. 1t is now possible and, in
deed Is a custom every day, to send
and receive messages from distance
OF more than 5000 miles. This, then,
operations. as was seen by the censor
ship put over the great sending sta
tions 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 1t was a very different sea
wasp to that which England. France
and Germany are using today. Yet its
real value is yet to be determined, and
1t is expected that this demonstration
will come during the present conflict
Rapid Increase of Submarines.
At the time OF the Spanish-AmeIican
war there were only five submarines
in all the navies of the world.
The latest edition Of Brassey's Naval
Annual for this year gives the number
OF submarines in the various nayies,
and shows what interest is being
taken in the wasp of the sea. Great
Britain has 10 built, and is building 20
more; Germany. who only began build

GERMANS DRAG GUNS
OVER THEIR OWN DEAD

London.--The correspondent of the
Daily Mail describes visit among the
French who were wounded in the bat
ties OF the Vosges and have been
brought to Vichy. where the hotels
have been transformed into hospitals
A wounded artilleryman contributed
the following experience:
Il witnessed one horrible scene. The
Germans were shooting from the deep
trenches among which our artillery
was doing terrible work But as fast
as a German dropped a fresh man
took his place until bodies of the Ger
mans were on level with the surface
OF the earthworks.
AT this moment a German battery
was ordered to advance. The heavy
wheels sank in the trench, but the
drivers furiously lashed their horses
and finally dragged the guns across
the human bridge"

Russia has 20, and is building 1S:
while the United States has 20, and Is
building 81; Austria has IS, and has
four under construction, while Italy
owns IS. and is building two. Yet the
submarine is still an unknown guam
tity in warfare.
Submarine In War.
Many OF the early submarines are
small and probably of little efficiency.
and France has numerous types about
which little Is known by the outside
world. The German submarines are
said to be built along the Holland
lines, while the Russian submarines
are said to follow one or more OF tha
French types. :
The submarine. from a romantic
viewpoint, should be great factor in
deciding naval engagement, but the
fact remains that up to the present
time 1t has done nothing to prove It's
value. 1t was believed that the moral
effect Of the submarine would be al
most as important as its physical ef-
feet upon an enemy's warship. but
this belief has not been justified up to
the present moment.
There were notions that there would
be terrific fights under the seas by
submarine meeting submarine and de-
stroying each other. But 1t has been
found that when submerged the sub
marina ia aa Hind au tho frodf+Inr.I
bat. Its crew cannot see any object
under water. and Is compelled to re-
sort to the use OF the periscope. which
emerges unostentatiously above the
water, in order to see its own course.
1t is known that the periscope is
the eye of the submarine, and natural
ly attention has been paid to the best
way of destroying this vital part OF
their boats
The designers of the submarine did
not count upon IL being SEEN 1t was
believed that it would go upon its way.
dealing death without observation, al
though its periscope does make o
slight wake on the water, and when
submerged there are telltale bubbles.
But 1t has been discovered that from
a certain height an observer may trace
the course of a submerged submarine
with as great accuracy as II it was
running on the surface. The dirigibie
balloon and the aeropIane now can
ferret out the sneaking submarine, and
they both are supposed to be armed to
destroy the warship that moves like a
fish.
