What’* going to stop the submarine
How is the hidden demon ol the
deep to be frustrated in spreading ex
plosive death? How are warships and
merchantmen to escape its torpedc
fangs?
There are three methods of combat
ting the submarine.
Mines usually will protect a fleet In
harbor. The game is then too hazard
ous for the submarine.
The aeroplane is a partial defensi
against the submarine—when sub
marines are operating near an aeria
base. From hgi position on high in the
air the aerial observes can see a sub
marine Bubmerged at great depth. But
the aviator cannot destroy submarines
"He oan only report their presence and
turn the work over to the destroyers.
The torpedo destroyers, therefore
are the only formidable foe of the sub
mersibles. Submarines against sub
marines have accomplished nothi..g. As
a defense against their kind, they art
• ut of the reckoning.
The swift destroyer, that slender
low, smooth craft, the real greyhound
of the sea, is the one protection. Bet
a destroyer sight a submarine, and un
less the latter sinks suddenly, it if
doomed. Of the two the destroyer
mueh larger, is the quicker. Its valut
lies In its speed.
The destroyer can literally swim
#
rings around the submarine. It car
even still dodge a lorpedo when the
shiny missile is as close as 200 yards
Quick maneuvering is Its answer. It
is an elusive target, too elusive for the
slower torpedo and the slower sub
marine. A destroyer that is torpedoed
has really been asleep. They have
been built not to be torpedoed.
How does a destroyer destroy?

Joseph Munson lieu ail his earthly
possessions in u soiled handkerchief tm
umer morning ami hurneu lo Che Alis
• soun Pacific freight yards at Wichita
Kansas, in the hope of bumming a ridt
on a freight train to Great Bend.
Waiting patiently for the train tc
coine along so he could "hop” It, Pa
trolman Charles Bish discovered Alun
son at (1 o’clock In the morning.
"VV hat in the world are you doing
here al this t me of day?” the oflicei
asked.
’Tm waiting for a freight to Great
Bend,” answered Munson.
“Great Bend?” cried the astonished
policeman, wondering how the poor old
chap would ever manage to climt
aboard a moving freight train. "Don’t
you know the trainmen will throw you
off and put you in jail if you try tc
steal a ride?”
“They wouldn't put an old man like
me in jail, would they?” he asked
plaintively.
"What Jo you want at Great Bend?’
demanded the officer, touched by the
old man’s appeal.
“I’ll get a Job there,” was the hope
ful answer.
"Why, uncle, you’re too old to work,’
said Bish.
“No, I ain’t,” stoutly declared Joseph
\ Munson. "I can plow. They need
plowers out there, a man told me.”
‘‘Got any money?” asked Bish.
V “No,” was the crestfallen answer.
The old man brightened In a moment
.when he said:
1 “But I’ll have some ns soon as I get
tn Grent Bend and find a Job plowing.’
MUnson told Bish he was DO years old
and that the had been in Wichita n
couple of months. He had no relations
nnd no home. Al.lJUs possessions were
on- his back and wrapped in a soiled
handkerchief that was knotted and
hufog over one suffered finger. The
officer was unable to dissuade the old
mn^. from attempting to steal a ride tc
the'wheat fields.

In the first place, it has the same
tools us the submarine. It hus torpedc
tubcs. The submarine with half a
chance can sink under the destroyer's
torpedoes. But the destroyer has a
better chance. One shot front its four
inch guns is enough to sink the thin
skinned submarine forever.
Destroyers carry from two to six
four-inch guns and cun make from
30 to 35 miles per hour. They are
quick-handlers, in the words of seamen
The fastest warship in the World is
the Swift, England's giant destroyer
which makes 30 miles an hour and can
turn speedily.
Their speed is almost twice as great
as the surface speed of the submarine
When submerged, the submarines can
only make from 10 to 10 miles pei
hour.
tShould a periscupe suddenly show
close to a destroyer, the latter would
dash ahead at full speed, with the idea
of ramming and sinking the submarine
with its shari> steel stem. Then i
would be up to the submarine to sub
merge quickly or be lost.
The modern destroyer is a vesse
ranging from 700 tons to the 1,835-ton
Swift, of the British navy, The length
varies from 250 to 400 feet. They arc
very narrow. Power is furnished in
l he most modern of all engines. From
two to six 18-inch torpedo tubes arc
part of the equipment, and in the av
erage destroyer are four four-Inch
rapid-firers, and frequently a few lesser
rifles, including a pair of machine guns
The hulls, are not armored. The de
stroyer relies on speed.
Besides offering a defense against
like ships and an offense against sub
marines, this equipment is sufficient tc
sink merchantmen.
