GERMANY'S BELIEF IN SUBMARINES
Secret Plans For Big Fleet
ANNIVERSARY OF FIRST LAUNCH
Thirty years ago Germany's first submarine was launched, at the Germania yard at Krupps, a; Klel. "U 1" was something of an experi-. ment in spite of the fact that other Navies already possessed sub- marines, and it was from this ship that the German submarine fleet. Sprang.
The rate of development of sub marine craft by Germany can be Bauged from the fact that it was only ten years and a half after this launch, that the unrestricted sub- marthe warfare was declared. It Was this unrestricted attack upon trade which very nearly paralysed the cause of the Allies during the Great War. German submarines operated at great distances from their bases. One even visited the. opposite shores of the Atlantic Ocean.
So much that is benæiful and romantic awaits you in Austria: Vienna-the world's music centre; Sabburg-the festival city; the Styrian woodlands; the beautiful Danube valley; the fakes of Salzkam mergut and Carinthia; the Tyrol and Vorarlberg- lands of picturesque pesats and snow capped mountaias; and the fovely landscapes of Lower sad Upper Austria. Both for Summer Holidays (Golf Tennis, Swimming, Climbing, etc.) and for Winter Sports, Austria has become more popular than ever. Come to Austria at any time of the TERE---you may be nam of a kindly welcome.

Eighteen months after the de- claration of unrestricted submarine warfare Germany collapsed under the blockade which she had falled to break. The Peace Treaty saw to it that Germany, in whose hands the submarine had become a wea- pon abhorrent to civilisation, was allowed to possess no submarines.
