OF the world has brought into being
SO many novel and devilish contriv-
ances as the present war. A conspic-
uous feature of the latter has been
the utilization Of mines on a scale
hitherto unimagined. Our own naval
authorities realize that an indispen.
sable requirement of any war In
which we may be involved In the fu.
ture is mines and plenty of them.
Hence the appeal newly made to
Congress by the navy department
for money to pay for 5000 more OF
these instruments OF wholesale de-
struction. e."
Admiral Strauss says that before
the war began We had on hand anu
ready for use about two-thirds the
number of mines needed by the navy.
The remaining one-third had been
ordered, and was in process OF manu-.
facture, with guarantee OF delivery IN
the spring of the present year. But
the wholesale employment OF INFER
nal machines Of the kind in the Euro
pean conflict has furnished an object
lesson, and 1t is now realized that a
great many more of them should be
provided, as measure OF prepared
ness.

The army. as everybody knows.

the protection Of harbors and river
mouths. ordinarily planting them In
lines across channels. These are de-
fensive mines. The navy. on the
other hand, employs mines offensive
ly, as a rule-as. for example, by
planting them where enemy ships
are expected to pass. II the enemy
misses them. they are picked up. and
another try is made somewhere else.
Thus, If a hostile feet were ex-
pected to approach one or another
Of our great Atlantic seaports. adj
vantage would be taken Of the rela-
lively shallow water along our east
ern shores to anchor great numbers
Of mines far out in the ocean. Such
a mine-field might sink battleship
or two. It could hardly accomplish
more, for, once warned Of the pres
ence Of mines, the feet would pause
and pick them up by fishing for them
AN operation attended with little
danger.
The 5000 additional mines asked
for by the navy department Will be
manufactured at the Norfolk Navy
Yard, where Is located the principal
government factory Of naval rnines.
