Submarine Protectors

Tft submarine boat hag come pro minently info notice within recent years, »nd though ita popularity ban been chit-fly with other nation*, Great Britain has now decided to possess a number of these latest weapons of war. Bat already we he»r of a counter move in the direction of fighting these engines of destruction, If thp present lubmarino boat, or an improved p*»t fern, is able to do all that its san guine stipportars claim for it, warships In many actuations will bn practically »l its taercy. This secret little foe careering about under the surf-.ce pf |h« Wfttiii of a harbour could, m the opinion o! some enthusiasts, blow to pieces with torpedoes th« most power fa: fiaat io.tho world, It ha«, n'owiwr, been stated that the Bfiti«h Admipalty lUthorities failed to recognise the deadly prop»«rtieß of this new craf , ftttd were only urged by the force of public opinion -to secure a pertain num ber for experimental purposes. It wan always underatood that they doubted Uipowßr 6f aHstck, ho'ding that with reasonable preCaQtione it« movement! coold be seriously hindered. Now wo hear that In parauance of this idea the *3cperimenta! staff of HiM.S Vernon, the chiti torpedo school ship at Ports mo»th» »i* engaged planning how to render British ships and harboors invulnej »ble against underwater attack A move in this dirfction v only what iai«hl be expecei. It la like the continual straggle for supr-nvoy that goes on bKween the manu factnrera of armour and armour pieroing shells. At one time wr hear of a. new kind of armoar that will reiiit th© impacfc of the most pow erful projeetilr, and soon after comes the news of the successful trial of a wonderful gon firing a shot that will penetrate the strongest known armour Thai the attack and the defence about balance one another, and with the submarine bout a similfctitate of things ia likely to occar. From its delicate structure, and the hszjrdouS natare of the work it is called on to perform, Ifc is aoable to overcome many obstacles that may be paced in it* way. Though possibly dangerous under conditions favovrable to ita work it m*y .be easily pat out of action, and the experiments that are to be cocdasted m a means of guarding against it will be watched with the utmost interest.
