DIFFICULTIES OF SUBMARINE WARFARE.

It is now practically cortain that the navies of the world have to reckon with a novel antagonist in the form of the sub-› marine flotills; and this is scarcely a matter for surprise. Indeed, the idea of a small vessel which can approach its enemy with- out fear of discovery is so attractivo that, once its practicability is demonstrated, its utilisation follows almost of necessity. So we find that the authoriting of all the lead-. ing navies are experimenting with the sub- marine, and-to judge from the naval ma noeuvres of recent years-not without a measure of success; yet many among them, especially in the British navy, aro sceptical with regard to their probable value in serious fighting.

PUBLIC AUCTION.

This scepticism is not at all unreasonable, for the fact is that submarinos are lieblo to a whole series of dangers and difficulties from which an above-water ship is free. To begin with, they are almost destitute of longitudinal stability when submerged; if ono of the crew walks along the vessel, the effect is a very considerable alteration of trim; if he walks aft while the boat is running forward or stationary, the upward tilt given to the bows causes her to rise to the surface, or, if tho engines happen to bo reversed at the time, to dive towards the bottom. To come to the surface at an unfavourable

moment during a general action would LTD. | probably, if not cortainly, mean instant 248 destruction by machine-guns. To dive at the wrong time is even more dangerous, as the rapid increase of pressure with the depth would cause the boat to be stove in, and the crew would all be drowned. Every
