BY l. HARPER LEIGH.

WASHINGTON. n. G., June 20. -
The submarine warfare has reached
a stage which will probably lead to .
complies change of tactics. The change
OF method will probably be as revolu-
lionary aS the change in land war
fare which followed the battle Of the
Marine, when the war Of maneuvers
was superseded by the war OF the
trenches.
On land the. airplane and the ma
chine gun have relegated the tactics
which man has used on land since h"
first began to make war.
But the British admiralty has fol-
lowed the same ideas in fighting the
submarine which have been followed
by all the victorious maritime powers
of history. 1t is the simple offensive.
Flint the enemy and fight him"
Tho method is in thorough accord
with the traditions OF the British navy
and the national anthem, "Britants.
Rules the Waves" Until very recent
~ 1t was itirly successful. There was
never any trouble about the fight
end of the plan. But Find the enemy
has proved the almost insoluble prob
lem.
Reduced to tactics, there are four
methods Of fighting the submarine:
The Offensiye-Huuting for sub
marines with deatroyers ana patrols,
covering the sea with submarine chas
ers, dragging the set with nets, scour'
ing the air with aero1.
2-The Defensive - Dropping the
idea of discriminating the submarines
by bottllug up the German coast with
nets, mines and bomb.carrying cables.
3--Tho sea trench method-impris-
onment Of the submarines by bottll1g
up the Gernan coast with nets, mines
and bomb-carrying cables.
Am Attack on the Bases-"Dig-
ging the rats out of their holes"
To date, the war against the subma-
rine has followed the simple offensive.
It was fairly successful so long as the
submarine had limited cruising ra-
dius and had to keep close to the
shores of Britain, BY covering the
North sea and the channel with pa.
troll boats and dragging them with
nets, the British practically drove the
smaller submarines from the narrow
seas.
The Germans countered with $50
foot submarines that could cruise out
in the Atlantic.
The admiralty is up against math-
ematical impossibility. The further
out it extends the patrol, the bigger
grows the ratio Of patrols to subma'
rines.
Assuming that one patrol boat can

Tactics Change AT Hand In
Fighting the Submarine

cover 20 square miles of sea, it would
require four times as many patrol
boats to cover the sea 200 miles OFF
shore as it would take to protect the
sea fer 100 miles out, while only twice
the number of submarines would be
required to blockade the clrcumter'
once of the patrolled area 200 miles
out as would be required for the small
er circle,
Extending the limit to 400 miles
would require 16 times the number OF
patrols to combat four times the orig
inal number Of submarines.
The only solution of this problem,
in the opinion of many naval men, is
for the British navy and its allies to
change its tactics and devote its ener-
gies to conveying and protecting NEE
chant shipping.
Ships must wait until all the con-
voy is loaded, sail at the same speed,
and make the same ports. The num-
Der of trips per ship will he cut down.
The docking facilities of the ports viii
have to be enlarged. The quantity OF
freight Which can be delivered will
be lowered perhaps so per cent.
This tremendous traffic problem

They did not believe in warm re-

Aleut will have gone like the sea OF,

postpone this end, particularly through
its bureau of education. A native CO.

raise the level OF existence.

From the beginning OF the war BRIT
Tin has tried to wall the submarines
in with mines, but as long as Holland
Denmark and Norway remain Neutral
this plan cannot succeed, for the sub
marines are believed to escape through

cannot lay mines.
A plan is being considered by the
United States navy to build a huge

Scotland 10 Norway, and to close the
strait Of Dover with a similar fence.
This would be a huge net. 200 feet
deep, loaded with contact Bombs al

steamers stationed every few miles
and also held up by buoys.
improvements in submarines and
onti-submarine devices are adopted.
At present the submarine is ahead
in the race, not because there are ne
weapons to fight 1t, but because of thu
tactical difficulties of catching it.
That is why it is believed the rex
step in the submarine war will he q
