EFFECTS CT THE SUBMARINE
Influence it May Have on World
Politics

A submarine that has cost say
half a million dollars, that takes per-
haps a third of the time to build that
it takes to build a dreadnought, that
is manned by 81 men, after voyaging
5000 miles sinks two battleships
costing together, say, $S,00O,OOO or
$1O,O0OOOO and carrying 500 men.
The naval and economic claims of
such a craft are enormous. In the
art Of destruction, the military art, it
is labor-saving device, the accept
ance of which is forced by the same
law which, operating in the indust-
ries of peace, forces the adoption of
machinery.
All the effects of the invention and
perfecting of the submarine upon the
art of maritime war cannot be for
seen at this time. Perhaps we are in
clined now to exaggerate them. Yet
the remarkable feats of the German
submarines, especially those of No
81 made it clear that this new arm is
to modify, perhaps radically our nav
technic OF naval warfare.
But beyond these technical quest
ions are still more interesting specu-
lations as to the effect of the submar-
inc on world politics. What bearing
will the. existen@ of comparatively
| cheap. laborsayng device OF wide
radius of operation and great poten-

build more submarines than the
poor. just as she can build more
dreadnaughts, but the nature of the
| submarine, until novel means of COP
ing with it are invented would seem
to give to continental powers primar-
| lily Interested in defense a new secur-
ity of island powers or island posses
sions
1t is true that England has not
been cut off by the German submar-
ines, while Germany has been isoIat
ed by the British navy. The odds
still are overwhelmingly with the
latter The German submarines
have not been able to prevent the
transport of troops TO the continent,
but the distance is short and the sub
marine even in Germany has but be-
gun its career.
Self-supporting continental count
ries, like the United States and
China, may be strengthened by the
submarine; island powers like Eng.
land and Japan, proportionately weak
ened, while distant possessions like
our Philippines or Hawaii. will be
placed in greater jeopardy.
The possibilities OF the submarine,
however, and therefore it's influence

are now only subject for guessing.
but it is certain that no nation can
afford to do less than its utmost to
perfect this new device of warfare

ORCHESTRA ISSUE NEARs HEAD.
Managers May Make Space Before

The controversy between the Ameri-
can Federation OF Musicians and the
theatrical over contracts and
the number of men to be employed In

an issue this week. when a meeting Of
the members Of the United Managers
Protective Association is held to take up
the question.
II was reported yesterday that the

carry their own men for them. Tho
matter concerns not only New Yori:
city. but all the theatres Of the country.
where the local musicians unions In
sist on having season contracts and the
privilege Of naming the number Of per-
SOM In the orchestras.
The say that having suffered
heavy financial losses last season. they
object to signing long time contracts
and keeping large orchestras when
smaller ones would answer. As a re-
suit the union will probably be defed
and non-union men employed. The man.
ayers say they are entirely willing to
pay union wages.
