SUBMARINE WILL
 REMAIN 4 POWER
American Naval Men Think Its Use Too Important
 to Be Neglected
By Assoeiatsd Press

Washington, August 2S.-Abolitiou Of the submarine as an instrument of mod ern warfare does not seem probable to American naval officers who have given careful study to the arguments put forth before allied naval commissions lnvcs- tigating the subject. It is the belief of these officers that submarines will be- come more and more numerous in the principal navies of the world during the next few years.
 In reviewing the deliberations of the allied commissions on naval terms, American officials find that while many pertinent arguments were developed against the use of submarines. many strong points were advanced in their favor. The principal argument for this abolition was that as long as the sub marines were recognized as legitimate instruments of warfare there would re- main the danger of some nation repeat ing the ruthless and inhuman campaign inaugurated by Germany. Advocates of the submarine, however. do not believe such past inhumanities should be the de- termining factor in deciding whether the submarine should be abolished.
 The naval faction both in this country and abroad opposed to the abolition oi the submarine believe that the factor of

PARLIAMENT PLAYS

Dignified Body Visits Fleet and Has as Good a Time

This week it eontin- ued its peace celebration by visiting the fleet anchored off the mouth of the Thames at Southend And on both oc- casions it cast aside the dignity and hoary customs of it's ancient legislative halls and enjoyed the novelty like a lot of schoolboys out for frolic.

VICTORY CROWDS

Overtaxed Railways Forced Sailors to Spend Night
 Dancing in Streets

London, July 20.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press) )-Londoners were swept off their feet by the enthusiastic ioyousness of some hundreds of sailors from the fleet anchored at the mouth of the Thames and joined so heartily in the Victory Day demonstration last night that there dancing and singing in the wet slippery streets of the West End within an hour of daylight today.
 So many thousands had gathered for q night of nlerry-making in the hotels and restaurants of the West End that when closing time game transportation sys- tems were unable to take them home. As all tube trans stopped soon after mid night, there was nothing left for thou sands but to spend the night in the streets. Great crowds gathered in the vicinity of Piccadlly, Leicester Square and Covent Garden stations, and as t was raining gently the prospect was dis nal.

one side were the big ships on the other the submarines, chasers and destroyers. Few sailors were in sight but the crew of a submarine were loudly cheered as they took position on deck for few minutes, and then went about some task set by their commander. destroyer suddenly spouted smoke, gathered speed like an automobile and tore out to sea.
 But that was all the commander showed of his fleet. There was no fir ing of salutes; no orderly manning of the rails. Just the ships, silent and grim, beloved by all the English people as their first line of defense.

possible mercilessness of the undersea craft should not be separated from the equal and possibly worse horrors of gas warfare, bombing from the air and mines. The parallel between the sub marine and the marine mine seems closest, particularly since the mine is now and has for many years been rec oghized by all nations as a legitimate instrument of war. Figures gathered by the British during the war show that the !ossSs to British merchant shipping through mines amounted to 6,377 900 tons, compared with 5,759,0o0 tons sunk by sub marines.
 The argument has been advanced that despite the fact that the best inventive senius of several nations worked on the problem of devisiqg means to wipe the submarine out Of existence, the sub surface craft remains the only long radius vessel that, alone and unsupport- ed, can go nearly anywhere and, en- tirely discounting it's main purpose of torpedoing enemy warships, it's unique defensive qualities makes it a naval weapon of the utmost usefulness even when restrieted in its use against mer- chant shipping.
 At the worst. naval strategists point out, it is never a liability that must be protected and defended. It is admit ted among naval men that the big ship still rules the seas. How long this will be true is the question now taxing the best naval brains of the world. It is conceded for the present, at least, that the nation that holds blindly to one line of naval development and neg iects another, particularly the subma- rine, will be in great ultimate danger.
 While the nations having the strongest navies have throughout the peac delib- erations shown disposition to agree to the abolition of the submarine the smaller and weaker nations maintain that, having less powerful nsvies, they are forced to cling to the more powerful instruments of protection and offense, and that therefore they must retain the submarine as a matter of self-preserva- tinn
