of an interesting paper read by HARRY WICKING & Co., St. to, DAVID SASSOON & CO. LI, Sir John Biles at Newcastle to the Georges Buildings,
Hongkong Instrate of Naval Architects. This problem is of more import- ance in view of Sir Percy Scott's recent pronouncement of the doom of big ships. He pointed out that the only means of pro- tection against submarines other than by destroying them, which latter was not yet as normally possible for battleships, was increased arranar below the water- line.
