REAPPEARANCE OF THE MRS. FREDERICK BOB WYATT FORCES THE
SUBMARINE
Bombshell By Germany
BY SIR ARCHIBALD HURD
In refusing to be bound by the clauses of the Peace Treaty which made her surrender all her sub- marines and agree to
build no more vessels of the type, Germany has taken her final revenge on the Allied Powers of 1914-19 and, in particular, on France, still her bit terest enemy and her near neigh- bour.

It was believed at the time that though no ban had been placed on the building of submarines, this specific declaration would place them so far. In the background as to discourage the construction of ocean going craft and limit the building even of smaller vessels, since against modern well-handled battleships and cruisers they had been proved to be ineffective.

There was one great omission at the opening of the Royal Tourna- ment this year as the demands of the Jubilee prevented His Majesty the King from attending.

The Tournament, as is gen- erally acknowledged by all those who have had the good fortune of witnessing it, is a spectacle which always fills the vastness of Olym- pia and this year, with so many visitors in the great capital for the Jubilee celebrations, the two weeks allotted to the Tournament appear all too short and it is feared that many people went away dis appointed, not having been able to gain admission to the display of

No country in any future war has greater reason to fear the use or misuse of submarines by the Germans than France, and yet she has been mainly responsible for the new development.
