Modern Sea-Fighting.
From the Detroit News.

from Inc DeLrOlL news.
Truman H. Newberry's comments on
our naval equipment serve to remind
us that a favorite theme of the artist
the sea battle-is spoiled forever.
Modern vessels fight at from ten to
seventeen miles, if they fight at all,
and thrilling pictures such as Jones
Perry, Farragut, Nelson and Dewey
have inspired probably will not be
painted again.
Marine warfare has become very
largely matter of hide-and-seek any
way. So far has the gunmaker out
stripped the armorplate builder that
were equally matched vessels to en-
gage, a few seconds firing would re-
duce millions of dollars worth of ships
to scrap-iron shambles.
And when the skulking menace of
the submarine is considered we can
understand how completely the tradi-
lions of sea fighting have been upset.
1t was predicted that modern war
fare on land would be stripped of all
it's former aspects. but we are told
of bayonet charges, of trenches forty
yards apart, of steel helmets and even
of full suits of armor being used.
Yet on the sea what destruction has
been wrought has been through meth
DDS far removed from the old-fashioned
stand-up fight through which heroes
of other days won their fame.
