SUBMARINES IN WARFARE.
Only Men Of Iron Nerves and Quick
Decision Can Work Them.

ooCiSioh IAN WORK mem.
1T calls for men of iron nerves and
quick decision to man our submarines
either In peace or war" writes Frank
z. Evans in st. Nicholas "Subma-
rine experts look upon the factor Of
nerves as the most important of all,
and they have given to 1t the title Of
calculation.
within the cramped walls that are
the home Of the crew are housed the
most intricate mechanisms that man
has invented for warfare. Outside its
steel walls are mines, great nets Of
wire, explosives. shells and seaplanes,
all devised for its destruction, and the
sharp keels of ships that slice through
them as knife cuts cheese. The
smallest shell can penetrate them, and
nets can hold the submarine as help
less as child in the grasp Of a giant.
Danger lies everywhere for the IT,
ger of the seas. The ocean in which
1t lives is powder tank that waits
but for spark. Only nerves of iron
can cope against such an array of enc
mics. The slightest hesitation of its
captain in the face Of any of them
means the end of his ship and his
crew.
"As one expert has put it. the whole
A b G of submarine warfare is to act
at an instant's warning with nerves of
steel"
