How the Submarine Fails.
Arthur H. Pollen, in the North Amer,
Review

Arthur H. Pollen, in the North American
Review.
The most questionable elment in the
American program is the very large
provision OF submarines Fifty fleet
submarines and So coast submarines,
which are to cost in all nearly $50, 900, :
OO0 make vast hole in the half billion
that 1t is proposed to spend. AS it is
in many respects the most striking, so
in another it Is the most difficult item
to criticiSe
Essentially the submarine is a
variant of the destroyer. Once within
attacking range of an enemy it has
what the destroyer has not, the power
or delivering a daylight attack remain
ing itself almost unseen. But its in
visibility does give it a function new
to naval war. 1t has the capacity to
pass through waters which are abso-
lutely commanded by surface ships
because it can pass them submerged
and unseen.
The use Of nets, Of mines and of pa
trols-especially when assisted by air
craft-these at any focal point which
submarines coming or going must pass
can do much to obStruct their free
passage.
The highest submerged speed does
not exceed the half-power speed of the
slowest warship.
The point is that If the ship Is
armed the submarine must keep sub
merged, and If it keeps submerged it's
maneuvering speed Is low, it's capacity
to get within striking distance is very
limited, and it's weapon very uncer-
tain. If the ship 1t intends to strike is
both at speed and accompanied by de-
stroyers or fast craft, the area Of dang
er Of the submarine and the intensity
Of the vigilance are increased, and the
danger from submarines becomes alto
gether negligible.

distance Makes Heart Grow Ponder"

In the Woman's Home Companion
appears an account OF a husband who
recently spent 1915 in travel From the
standpoint Of culture the travel prob
ably did not do him any good. but from
it he gained one thing Of Importance
a better appreciation or his home. Fol-
lowing is an extract from article:
He and she had reached that state
Of mutual boredom that comes some
times to people who have lived too
close together and known each other
too well. 1t seemed before he left as
though they could not get on together
and she saw him leave without regret
But to her surprise the place seemed
very lonesome after he had gone; and
to his surprise he found himself roam
ing hotel corridors, restlessly, vaguely
yearning for the companiship that had
so long been his life. And when at
last he came home 1t was to discover
that his home was the neatest, her
cooking the finest, and she herself the
most beautiful woman in the world.
we sometimes wish that the posi-
ton of travelling salesman were not
conferred on one man for life. but could
be passed around, so that the lawyer
the doctor. and the preacher who have
lived at home forever might each be
separated from home at least once in a
lifetime 1t would add a wonderful
freshness and Zest to the comforts that
too often become commonplace"
