1t was customary to have the con-

he was taken through some Of the
chief streets of the city. After his

found there. The name by which this

Christian church is Calvary. which Is
derived from the Latin word calvaria,
skull. The commonly accepted site Is

eight knot speed is about as much as
the most powerful can develop.
Ordinarily Il submarine progresses
beneath the surface ut Il depth Of thir-
ty-iive to forty feet. The boats on
emergency, however, can make Il much
greater depth. An American sublna-
rine broke Il depth record by going
down 2>6 feet. At that depth the wa
ter pressure was SO great that streams
began pouring through seams and the
bottom began to buckle. An officer
nfterwaru declared that il the ship had
gone three feet deeper it must have
been crushed like an eggshell.
1t come apparent that almost any
submarine can go far below the keel
of the heaviest warship. 1t cannot ma
neuver freely there, however, and can
do little damage with it's t%orpedoes.
The most effective torpedo fire is OBJ
tained ut from twenty to thirty feet
below the surface up to sea level. In
firing from the depths the vessel must
be pointing upward for the torpedo to
find its mark. Most OF the modern
submarines have enough reserve air
supply to enable the crew to remain
under water from twenty-four to thir-
ty-siX hours If necessary.

Predicted Recent Results.

If the warship stays out in the open
sea and keeps moving the chances of
effective action against it by a Subma-
lnconSiderable minimum. But when
the warShip cruises about lHnguidly in
n close blockade line or takes refuge
in a harbor or assaults land fortitica-
tions it subjects itself p%erpetually to
an attack for which it ut the present
time is the poorest prepared. There
is not even any assurance that it will
much longer Ne safe out at sea. for
h submarines are beginning to solve
the problems of long su~bmergence and
rapid movements. Certainly amy fleet
with Il shoal of hostile submarines
hanging on its t,ahkS and continually
harassing it will find much of its own
effectiveness impaired.
Summing it all up, the submarine
seems to have proved very clearly that
1t has added Il new and revolutiOnary
aspect to marine fighting. 1t seems TO
have demonstrated fully its ability to
do the things ior which it was design
ed ana to have made it extremely prob.
able that naval Grand tactics will hay
to be completely revised.
Many theorists predicted that this
would come to pass. Seven years aga
Captain A.. /. Mahan. the greatest liy-
ing authority on naval matters, gave
the following appraisal of the value nf
the underWatei craft. which, in th.
light OF recer. events, seems to have
been prophetic:
THE submarine boat, if uuuolysted

Of that affair the British authorities
announced that the lost cruisers, the
Aboukir, the Hogue and the Cressy,
We're of Anticipated class, built four
teen years before at 4 cost Of S4,UO,-
900 each. But what happened to these
three ships might have happened to
three of the largest and most expen-
sive of Britain's warships if they, in
stead of the Aoukir, the Hogue and
the Cressy, had been in the right place
that is to say. 100000 invested in
one submarine would have destroyed
battleships representing an outlay OF
between $4,000, 900 and S4O,OOO,OU.
The most expensive submarine costs
about 100000. Twenty Of them can
be built for the cost Of n of the
most modern big warships, and any
one Of the twenty, If it got into proper
contact, could account for the warship.
A Worthy Foe.
In spite of all this, however, the
general superiority of the submarine
over the big battleship lacks a great
deal of being proved. When the first
motor driven torpedo was perfected
men predicted the finish of the big
battleship. They predicted it again
when the torpedo boat was invented
and again when the torpedo boat de-
strOyer came into being. Each Of
these was and is a perpetual menace
to ever the largest ironclad. and yet
the ironclads have always found some
means of adequate defense against
them.
Whether they can do so against the
submarine remains to be seen. Already
they have certain advantages such as
superior speed and mobility. Yet the
venonous little craft. sneaking up be
low the surface of the water and
launching a deathblow at its most vul-
nerable part, is apparently the dead
lest enemy the big man-o-war has yet
encountered.
