WARNING TO NAVIGATORS..

SUBMARINE'S PRESENCE SHOWN BY DISCOLOURED WATER,

The commander of a large transport, in writing to the secretary of the Imperial Merchant Service Guild, requests that body to warn navigators to look out for dis coloured water when in submarine. areas, As he states that his vessel, with 1,000 troops on board, had a most miraculous escape from being torpedoed. The cap- tain was on the bridge when the incident happened, and he relates that he saw dis coloured water on the port beam about 500ft away. He instantly put the belm hard aport, and as the ship was travelling. full speed she answered her helm imme diately..

As soon as the vessel began to swing the commander saw the periscope of a sub- marine emerge from the discoloured water, and a few seconds inter ho discerned a

torpedo coming toward his ship. Fortun- ately the torpedo cleared the vessel by 100ft. In concluding his letter he adds: "My experiences may be of some use to other members of the profession to look out for 'discoloured water and treat the same as a submarine.!!

vista of a prolonged struggle, and it forced Germany to reconsider the extent of her resources. The aim of the measure was so clear that oven the illiterate could grasp it at once. Journalistic attempts to prove by cooked statistics that compulsory ser vice would not enhance England's fighting power failed in convincing their readers. It was not merely a question of fighting power. It was the undeniable fact that England was firmly resolved to carry the war on to its good end, that no threat to her Eastern possessions would intimidate her, and that peace was still a long way ahead-that made the people doubtful of the import- ance of the glorious" Serbian adventure which most of them had been brought to consider as the crowning finale of the war.

BIÓNS OF DEPRESSIÓN..."-

It would be an exaggeration say that it was a crestfallen nation that I encoun tered on my way through Germany, But the first symptoms of moral depression People no longer were clearly obvious, boust of results aabieved, but rather like to accentuate the hardships they have to go through. A German publicist of great repute whom I asked to explain to us the present atmosphere of feeling said:

"It is not a question of sentimental moral. There is undoubtedly a very uneasy feeling, but it is based upon exact calcula tions. We know that we are quite able to go on up to a certain time. The question, however, is whether the time at our dis- posal is sufficient for us to reach our goal, If not, we might as well finish to-day. This consideration brings an element of uncertainty, of doubt, and, consequently, of despondency which affects the moral of the masses. Again, there is the fact that our victories in the field do not assist us in maintaining a desirable, standard of na

who surrendered, was mored to phlegmatic smart," he said, to which the British expression of his admiratuen. navel man's rejoinder was: "Yes, rather smart, but then, you see, we're used to it.

Be careful about forming a judgment on what happens in this war either on land or see, was Mr. Wing's advice, and then he told how many people criticised the action of the naval officer who let the cap tured German trawler return home with her crew and gear intactThese critics were too quick,” said Mr. Wing, "for that the news:English very good; let me German Sherman went home and spread fish and so persuaded others to come out on a second fishing expedition, with the result that forty men were captured, and their boats are now being used by English fishermen to help sweep the ses clear of German mines and keep Britain and the. Grand Fleet masters of the sea."

Lord Selborne, President of the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries, who presided at the lectare, spoke of the fishermen's "extraordinary pluck, extraordinary skill and marvellous knowledge of the waters." During the Napoleonic wars the French fleet and mercantile marine had never been reduced to the same impotence as that to which the silent, ceaseless watch of the Nayy had reduced the German Fleet, and this had been done in spite of the action of the enemy in sowing the sea with thou sands and thousands of ines No one had realised what priceless service the fisker- men would render in time of war, but it was the ceaseless scavenging of the small craft that had made the landing, the main tonance, and the withdrawal of the Army in Gallipoli passible, and which was re- sponsible for the integrity of the Grand

There was much more money behind them, and he thought there would be no difficulty in raising £20,000,000 in Australia this yea
