A highly-placed authority in- the French Navy, questioned by a representative of the "Matin"

on the subject of dance against submarine attack, has replied as follows"Our submarine listeuing-microphones have been perfected to a degree which we would never have ventured to hope for only a few weeks ago—s progress which is proved, by the rewards bestowed by Admiral Chaumet, the Minister of Marine, on the brilliant officers, Lieuten- ants Broglie, Frommaget, and walser, who have so successfully devoted themselves touch inventions. Once they are sup- plied with the e devices all ships will soon be able to rec grise the presence of a submarine, its distance, and its direction, and can then manœuvre" so to avoid it, while, on the other hand, the gunboats and scouting vessels can at the same time také up the pursuit.

This is the solemn warning of Sir Joseph himself. It has passed the Censor. Set aside all German boastings.
