FRANCE AND THE BRITISH SUBMARINES.

The Pall Mall Gasette of the 19th ult. says:- There is bitter disappointment in the minds of French newspaper writers that the British Admiralty have so promptly taken up the problem of the submarine bat. We have stolen the brains of their naval inventors, they say, and they are very wroth. Says the Journal de

la_Marlue:—'?

We have seriously believed that in all the great modiñcations that have been brought about in the construction of submarines is the result of the important changes which the last fifty years of the century have produced in the art of naval warefare. All these changes have been sought out, experimented upon, studied, and finally realized by Franco, who has also. boon the first to apply them. These results have established in a brilliant and incontestable manner the skill of our engineers; but our rivals have not only appropriated the results of our labours, but they have not been slow to place themselves on equal terms with us, and finally to excel us in the application of these discoveries.'

We have been only the humble artisans working for them to establish their superiority.

All this, it is added, is due to the industrial aupremacy of England. France built a com merce destroyer,” D'Entrecasteaux of 8,000 tons, and with a speed of 19 knots. She was to proy on English ships of commerce like a second Alabama, And Great Britain replied to the threat by building the Powerful and the Terrible, each of 14,000 tons and 22 knots, and the efforts of France were thus brought to naught; and the Journal' wearily complains that "It is easy for England to place thres armed cruisers for service where we can only place one."

ENGLAND REATS WHERE FRANCE HAS SOWN

In the question of submarines Great Britain has pursued the same perfidious conduct. Very quietly the British sat still until- France

had done all the preliminary work of experi ment and trial, and now, alter something of the nature of a real engine for naval war has been produced by their engineers, Britain quietly steps in and begins at the point France had reached. It is very disappointing, of course. But it is even worse than that.

The English Government have not chosen to contribute by their own researches and work to upset a state of things to which the supremary of the British Navy is due; the appearance of a boat which will plunge under the water and act un the offensive within a considerable radius of action has enlarged the question. At present all ther wish is the pro- tection of coasts and harbours,

But it was the intention of France to place herself in a position of offence towards Eng:

land.

In the near future the tpves Narval and Holland, being invisible enemies, would be in a position to operate against the English consis and carry destruction"into" the midst of the nival forces which protect them. They would be able to seek and hunt out these same forces aven in the harbours and roads where they are lying at anchor.

But the ability of England to reply with some other equally good engine and protect herself as she has always done oppresses the writer's

mind-

On the other hand, if England' with any chance of success is able to oppose with the

WHAT FRANCE IS DOING.

The writer takes consolation from the reflec- tion that although when England does begin, it is easy for her to put three armed cruisers where France can only put one, yet the start in submarines which France has will revolutionize the conditions of naval war, and, he hopes, is such that she need not fear what England an do for a long time to come.

These will make a most formidable 'fleet, sporting like porpoises round the English war ships in the Channel and along her shores and holding them at the mercy of France.

But since we have made a very real advance in that which concerns the submarine, let us work without caaging-to-proserve-this-superi ority. Our engineers, who have succeeded so brilliantly, will be able to work for themselves new improvements in profiting by the experî-. ence already acquired
