Skill Counts.

THE lessons which may be drawn
from past events may be summed up
briefly as follows:
Superiority Of technical material
plays, as in earlier naval battles. an
important role. perhaps to a greater
extent now than before. Given crews
practically equal in skill, the side
which is inferior in artillery and speed
is at SO heavy a disadvantage that
victory is possible only under excep-
tional1y favorable circumstances.
THE submarine has proved itself a
thoroughly dangerous weapon to
which, unsupported possibilitis must be
conceded. All methods Of defense
hitherto employed have failed to full
fill theI purpose in requisite manner.
"pirigibles. And a%eroplanes have not
only demonstrated their value in
scouting but also have been engaged
effectively upon the offensive.
THE lessons learned even thus faz
will have a marked influence upon the
construction Of fleets, and I can un-
derstapd in the United States efforts
are being made to take advantage OF
them"

NAV as a DESTROYER of commerce. |
Views may differ as to the fna out
come in this field, but it is u~ndeniabie
that a nation like Germany, whose
has been driven from n
seas but which can subSist without
imports, has an extraordinary advant-
age over a country dependent almost
entirely, like British, upon importa-
tons Of food and raw materials across
the water. The submarine danger
unquestionably weighs like a night
mare upon the inhabitants of the sea-
washed land. The fortunate results OF
the wide extension, as we hope. OF the
fruitful activity Of our submarines
cannot be predicted, but the expecta-
ton is generally cherished IN
that the submarine campaign Will
help to accelerate the demand for
peace in England.
Submarine Gets All Sorts.
Every type Of warship has fallen
victim to German submarines-the
battleships Formidable, Triumph and
Majestic, the armored cruisers Hogue,
Cressy and Aboukir, the Russian
armored cruiser Pallaba, the cruisers
Hawke and Pathfinder and the British
destroyer Recruit, for example-and
neither the express steamer nor the
slow fishing boat is safe from our
deadly tOrpedOeS.
I'm addition, the aerial arm Of the
service has won many laureis. Yep
| pelins crossed the North Sea safely,
| even to London and back. and Ger
| man aeroplanes participated in the
destruction of the enemies war and
| merchant ships. The question Wheth-
err airships and aeroplanes could be
used extensively at sea must. in the
| light Of the achievements OF our air
| craft, be answered ~afarmatively.
German air craft have even fought
successfully against the dreaded sub
marines. A Russian submarine was
destroyed in the Baltic by bombs from
an aeroplane. and at least one British
submarine met the same fate in the
North Sea.
BattIerships Contests.
'"The general fear Of submarines i:
responsible for the remarkable spec
tacle Of the heavily armed and strong
ly armored battleships rarely ventur
ing to leave sheltering harbors-ship'
which before the war were counted
as decisive factors in sea power, bu
which find themselves condemned t.
inactive roles. Clashes of heavy bat
tleships, like those in distant waters
have borne out the old rule that SUI
periority in numbers, artillery an
speed make up the decisive factor TO
victory.
THE British were defeated OF
Coronel, Chile, because the Monmouth
and Good Hope depended TO- the mos
part on six-inch guns, while the Ger
man cruisers G~neisenau and Scharn
horst carried many 8 3-inch gun!
( The victory at the Falkland Island
l was easy for the British battle cruis
ers Invincible and Inflexible and the
consorts because they mounted twelv
! inch guns and also were much taste
Y than the German ships.

: armament were decisive. The Sydne,
armed with six-inch gun was thu
able to destroy the Emden, with on
