and, by cutting these. could end this
danger. Or. by touching a severed cable
end with wires from a battery. they
could explode the mines harmlessly, and
so secure a safe passage for their fleet
through the channel. That was the idea
but when it came to lifting out of the
mud length of cable weighing several
tons, it was found that the submarine is
quite ineffective. Her men could not get
out of her to handle tn cable without
letting in water; nor could they. with
any success, manipulate the heavy and
awkward graphing or cutting appar-
atus. So this effort failed.
And here may be mentioned an impor-
tant development in ship-to-shore ma
neuvers that has come recently with the
perfecting of the aeroplane. Our coast
defense authorities are seriously consid-
ering. in their councils of strategy, what
their answering move will be against
aeroplanes used by an enemy to locate
or destroy our mine-fields. There is no
question that trained military observ-
er in an aeroplane can see these deadly
mines from a considerable height; In
fact. within certain limits and for opti-
cal reasons. he sees them better as the
height increases.
Not only may aeroplanes be thus used
to bring information to an enemy a. to
the presence or absence of mines in a
given channel or harbor, bu. It Is with
in the near possibilities that they may
carry a number of counter-mines, to be
dropped with time-fuses burning, so as
to make them explode under water in
the midst Of the mine area. Aeroplanes
are built now that will lift a load Of a

How far apart are harhor mines u.s.

THAT depends upon the harbor," he
said. Perhaps fifty yards, perhaps sew
enty-five yards apart. They are usually
arranged like the alternate squares on a
checkerboard"
How near to one of these mines would
the counter-mine have to fall in order to
explode it?"
I'VE calculate that harbor mine will

a battleship. IL exploded within twenty

Then aeroplanes may do serious in

A Serious Lesson Which the Ma

One rather serious lesson Of the FISH

particular pace, the shore batteries did
not fire Cor pretend to fire) at the fleet,
although the situation was favorable for
firing. simply because the strategy of
the game required that they act as they
would in actual warfare, and in actual
warfare the coast defenses would not
have had enough smokeless powder for
their needs-not nearly enough smokeless
powder for their needs. At that time
there was not enough ammunition on
hand. and it could not have been pro-
cured Immediately with all the Rookie
Teller fortune. 1t is a matter of many
months to manufacture a great guam
tity of smokeless powder such as this
country would need in case Of war. And
the need would be immediate and urgent.
1t should also be said that, in actual
war. the destroyers would not have
found it so easy to produce a protecting
curtain Of smoke. for the reason that.
as soon as the first destroyer appeared
at the head Of the smoke-line, it would
have been promptly SHOT to pieces and
sunk by the shore batteries. Then the
second destroyer. thus exposed. would
have suffered the same fate. and so on.
the result being that the smoke-curtainf

have been spread.
