oEFEAr rHE SUBMARINE.

The sensational announcement by
tha head OF the naval consulting
board that an Invention has been per
fectsd that will end the submarine
menace. and that within few
months the submarines will be driven
from the oceans. Is interesting. but
not convincing.
Frankly. We are not only skeptieal;
we simply don't believe It.
Just why II should be announced
10 the world. including Germany. that
the submarines are doomed to de.
struction within a few months. is
something we cannot figure out. we
doubt whether anybody else can fig
ure II out. including the man who
made the announcement.
II 10 significant that this statement
was not made by the secretary oil
the navy. but by the head OF SENT.
official board.
The effect on the country OF such
a premature. cocssure statement can
not but be bad.
II will be time enough to boast Of
what we ara Going to do to the Ger
man submarines when we have start
ed TO do It.
