Early in the hostilities the subma-
sne boat made it's appearance in the
resent conflict, picking off unprotect-
Il and isolated ships of small tonnage.
But the real significance of the deadly
1ttle water bugs" of modern sea
lehts did not become apparent until
hat September morning when. in a
light haze which spread across the
i'tm reaches of the bleak North sea,
lis Britannia majesty's cruisers Abou-
III, Hogue and Cressy lay gray bu1ked
,gainst leaden sky On patrol duty.
Something very like the shadow of
j great porpoise STOOD toward the
Lboukir. 1t was the German suhma-
inc, Us. The periscope of the sub
aersible, cutting the sluggish waves,
old the German crew, safe inside her
sigar-shaped skin, that the British
Tuiser lay, fair mark, half nauti-
al mile away.
Somewhere within the cold steel
bowels of the German water bug an
air flask" coughed and a spindle tor
iedO left it's tube, headed unerringly
ion.
With a hole ripped to her vitals on
Ter starboard beam, the Aboukir wal
owed, stricken to the death. Her con-
orts closed in to stand by, the Hogue
cad ahead, the Cressy about 400 yards
n her port beam, both lowering boats
o pick UP survivors, under the mis-
aiken belief that the wounded ship
.ad struck a mine.
Thirty-f1ve minutes later the Abou-
ir went to the bottom, to be followed
{ short intervals by the Hogue and
he Cressy, upon which the submarine
!ad opened fire. So within q short
our the little U-9 had cleared the
raves of three of EngIand's great
ghting craft and sent down with them
iXty officers and fourteen hundred
hen.
And here is the message which the
J-9 sent to the world through her tor
edo tubes, September %, in the gray
forth sea: The submarine is the great
st offensive as well as defensive craft
ver designed.

Great Britain's experts knew all of
this, and that was why Sir Percy. Scott
dared the wrath of all the armor-forp-
ers of the empire who glory in the con-
structton of Observation-Disclosures bv
advocating the construction of no more
vessels of the ultra types b,,t
smaller craft in greater numbers. He
argued that today fleet of five dread
noughts, representing an outlay of
close on to $SO,0OO,000, may be sent to
the bottom as were the three cruisers ~
the North sea, with one torpedo to eacb
craft; whereas had the fleet consisted
OF. let us say, ten smaller vessels
many of them would escape from the
attack unscathed.
Failing in this, he advises the ad
miralty to reinforce the bottoms of
Englands dreadnoughts with an addi-
tional belt of four-inch arnor plate.
and to construct many additional buoy
aP* eeAA@s'-~ Ions in their hulIs. An

other argument for replacing the
dreadnought with the seagoing sub
marine torpedo boat is the fact that a
dreadnought requires an annual outlay
of S1,00O,000 for upkeep, as against
$4,000 which will provide for the tor
pedo boat.
It is human impossibility, say the
naval experts, after reviewing the ex-
plot of the Us, to predict any limita-
lions for the construction of subma-
rines; and they believe that the day
is not far off when the non-submersi-
BILE battleship will be a thing of the
past, and every navy will consist OF
ultra" and super" submarines
It is a common prophecy, too, at this
time among naval men, that before
the great European war has passed
into history the world will see one or
more conflicts wherein the deadly lit
tie submarine "waterbugs," in cooper
alton with Zeppelins or armored aero
planes, will strike a hostile fleet stimuli

bodied only the rudimentary principles
as shown in the submarines of today,
but in almost every modern type of
submersible the influence of the HoI-
land boat can be traced, although the
modern submarine is a craft of some
500 tons displac with a surface
speed of seventeen knots, and the
United States is at present asking bids
for the construction of a seagoing mod
Ell, to be approximately of 900 tons
displacement, a twenty-knot speed and
armed not only with torpedo tubes, but
with rapid-fire rifles.
The submarines of Great Britain's
fleet today are frankly Developments
of the Holland idea. That calls for a
single, spindle-s shaped hulI-built in
the shape of a giant cigar. It is made
submersib1e by the action of horizon
tai rudders acting in conjunction with
ballast tanks which may be flooded
with water These boats dive as a por-
poise dives, nose first, instead of sink
ing with an even keel. They are driven
by l,6OO horsepower heavy oil engines
at surface speed of seventeen knots
ana are of some 1900 tons dispIace-
ment
What the British empire thinks of
the submarine today as a defense is
pest Illustrated by the changes she has
maze IN guarding her own coast line
anu ports Before the coming of the
submarine she depended for this serv-
Ice almost entirely upon her so-caI1ed
coast and port guard ships, and with
