and motor craft water, are assumed 70 De able 10

Aircraft meeting head on must turn 10 the right.

So now you know what to do when you take TO the

NO MORE SUBMARINES

There has been strong demand since the war
voiced particularly IN America and England that the
submarine be Outlawed. Now Archibald Hurd, an
English naval expert emphasizes the demand insist
ing that this type of craft can never serve the pur
poses of civilization.
Heretofore opposition has been based mainly on
the nature of submarine warfare which is essentially
coWardly toward the enemy and which IMPOSES great
hardships and dangers the crew. Mr.. Hurd, as
naval sraeg brings against the charge OF neIf-
clency. In spite Of Germany tremendous effort he
points out the Uboas absolutely failed in their pur-
pose Of blockading England and keeping troops war
maierals and supplies from the .ern from.
Means were found foil them though at considerable
cost. IT Will always be So he thinks.
