A battle royal between submarines, the most exhaustive contest ever held between these craft, la scheduled to take place in the waters of Narragansett bay and the sea off the Rhode Island coast this month. Every conceivable test to which a submarine boat can be subjected to determine Its reliability and effectiveness will be employed, a week or more being devoted to each competitor, and on the result will depend the choice of the United States government In the further development of this branch of Its naval service that has been decided upon. An appropiiation of $1,000,000 Is now available for the building of submarines as soon as the type is decided upon. Further appropriations are expected, In order that this government may keep pace with- European powers In submarine activity more nearly than It has been doing. Eight of these curious craft are now In the American navy, and four more are nearing completion at the Fore River shipyard. All these are of the Holland type, which has so far retained Its supremacy In the opinion of naval authorities, though not without bitter competition on the part of the Lake Submarine company, with occasional charges of undue Influence. Some Indication of the Interest which the coming tests will arouse among naval men of this country and the experts of foreign powers may be seen in the recent Incident at the Fore River yard, Fore River, Mass., when Japanese officers stationed there durA Ute Chief. ing the building of some turbines for their government displayed a curioutcome of the the exodus, especially as the lands which they sought in osity in regard to the new submarines that caused American officials to Wyoming were part of the national worry. park system.

From this It is Inferred that the Japanese officials, as well as some from other nations, may be on hand during the tests in Narragansett bay to gain as much information as they can in regard to the probable addition to the United States navy. That such observation will not be welcomed Is evident from the attitude of the naval officials In the Fore River case, and from the cloud of secrecy and mystery which they have attempted to throw Town.

A depth of 150 feet Is about as great as submarines would be called on to reach In actual service, but In the coming tests, to quote the announcement to builders, no boat will be accepted as fulfilling all the requirements of the navy department unless the boat will stand without damage the stresses due to an actual submergence of at least 200 feet." Other tests will Include speed trials over measured mile courses In light, cruising and awash conditions, submerged speed trials, firing of torpedoes In submerged and other conditions, mining, countermining, cable cutting and handling torpedoes. The details of the tests, Including the number of trials to each boat under the varying conditions, are left entirely In the hands of the trial board, of which Capt. Adolph Marlx, U. S. N., Is chairman. The test Is to last as long as necessary to complete the trials under every condition of weather that Is desired. It was suggested by the secretary of the navy that the date be changed on account of the probabaility of cold weather at that time, but no action was taken on tills suggestion. Winter weather Is of small consequence to submarines In action, as was demonstrated during a trial of the Lake Submarine company's Protector In January, 1901, when the mast was carried away by the Ice under which she was running, at a depth of some SO feet, and she rose to the surface through an Ice floe from live to ten inches thick without suffering harm-I- t may, however, be more of a factor in adding to the difficulties of the 24 hour submerged test. more homogeneous in character than France's, the British admiralty having practically adopted the Holland type. It has also been constructing submarines of 500 tons, believed to be the largest that any nation has attempted. Germany has recently begun the construction of submarines with great zeal and plans to develop a considerable fleet of the craft, while both Italy and Austria are beginning to acquire them. Little has been known of the naval activity of Russia and Japan since the war, but each nation Is believed to be building them In It own yards. Six of the eight submarines of the American navy are practically identical in size and type, being of 120 tons each. They are the Adder, Grampus, Moccasin, Pike, Porpoise and Shark. The Holland Is older and smaller, being the original one of the modern submarines to be adopted In our navy, while the Plunger Is Identical with the others in practical every respect save that It Is slightly heavier. The cost of each, except the Holland, was $170,000. Those now building at Fore River the Octdpus, Viper, Cuttle Fish and Tarantula are larger than the earlier ones and show many devices not included In them. The Octopus, though details concerning It have been carefully guarded, Is known to be of about 300 tons.

The operator succeeded In getting under the bottoms of several of the British vessels, but found them copper sheathed; which prevented the attaching of the torpedoes with a screw ns had been the plan. It was the primitive character of the torpedoes available, therefore, rather than the limitations of the boat Itself, which caused the enterprise to fall. During the civil war a submarine constructed by an Indiana shoemaker was employed by the confederates In Charleston harbor, and they succeeded with It In sinking the cruiser Housa-tonlThe boat was a craft carrying a crew of nine, and was propelled by oars Ingeniously equipped. It has been claimed that she was running practically on the surface when she made her attack and that there- Jore her effectiveness as a submarine was not fully demonstrated. It remains, however, the only Instance when a submarine has employed In actual warfare, and tho manner of the attack will never be known, for the explosion of the torpedo which sent the cruiser d . ' c. cigar-shape- d Two Companies Compete. So far as is now anticipated, the only competitors will be the Holland snd Lake Submarine Boat companies. Between these two the competition has always been most bitter. The fact that the navy department has stuck to the Holland type has aroused much criticism and the contest has been waged with great warmth In congress, where charges have been made that the devotion of the department to the Holland type was due to political Influence. There have been previous tests In which the two designs have met, the most important previous one having been In 1893, when .three types were entered, the Baker submarine meeting the other two. Since then, however, and even since 1900 and 1901, when all tho submarines now In the navy were there have been treconstructed, mendous strides In their construction. Each firm will be represented by Its latest designs, embqdylng all that has been learned about the science of submarining" up to the present time. The Holland company will present the Octopus, the first of the four new boats to be completed at the Fore River yard. The Lake company recently completed a boat at Newport News which It claims is the best posslblo example of submarine construction. This was taken to Bridgeport, Conn., for the finishing touches. Each of the rivals, therefore, will be offering the extreme limit of its achievements to the government In spite of the fact that &me naval US.Sl3rtlRM are strongly opposed to submarines and that their actual worth In war Is still to be demonstrated, the United States In deciding to continue their construction is merely following the example of European powers. Russia and Japan each ordered aubma-- r I net during the recent war, but none of them was put Into uso ao far as Is known. France has thus far led the way, and now has a fleet of over 60 submarines.. They are, however, of varying sixes and types, the French having apparently been unable to deride upon a fixed type, Britain Use Holland Type. Great Britain paid small attention to submarines till within a few years, but hoar has a conilderablo fleet much JL cvoF to the bottom did the same thing for the submarine, and there it still rests, a tomb of Iron for the nine Intrepid men who formed her crew. Before she was employed against the Housatonlc several crews had lost their lives in experimenting with her, and this has been used by advocates of the submarine as proof that in time of need men will always be found They have also accomplished more In ready to risk tbe dangers of the fickle maneuvers under water than had here- craft.

The officers In charge have refrained from making public the results of the experiments, but It Is known that each has made over 600 miles with gasoline engines under conditions that rendered this notable. Varying Methods Used. To the landsman there would spem small difference In submarines. The general principle of all Is the same. When ready to go under the surface they are made almost as heavy as the surrounding water by admitting water to the ballast tanks and then dropping below the surface either by diving, through tho movement of tho bont and tho use of the horizontal rudder or on an even keel by further admission of water. In the methods employed, however, there are differences between the Holland and Lake types which are radical In their effect on the efficiency of the craft, and friends of the Lake boat have maintained that In the coming test Its superiority will be demonstrated In spite of the government's previous sdherence to the Holland boat officer C iAM&ir THS NOitAND eORTiS. The great Increase In attention given by naval powers during the past two or three years to submarine construction. of which the Narragansett bay tests are evidence, naturally creates Interest In previous attempts to employ submarines In warfare. It Is popularly but Incorrectly assumed that submarines are an extremely recent Few development of naval sclenre. acpeople are aware that they were colAmerican the by employed tually onies during the revolution and that during the civil war a federal cruiser was blown up by a confederate submarine. The boats thus employed were, of course, crude affairs In comparison with the craft that will meet In competition down the bay, but they were interesting examples of early experi- ments ond sufficiently refuto tho notlon that submarines are strictly mod-o- i n affairs. But for sn unforeseen obstacle the submarine built by David Bushnell, a Connecticut Inventor, during the revolution would have blown up one of the British menof war lying off Brooklyn at a time when the col- - yoarB. Since the days of the crude submarine of the civil war the development of the submarine has been marvelous, but most of It has been based on the Introduction of the gasollue engine, thus providing a practical motive power for the conditions that must be met The modern submarine, therefore, owes Its standing to the same thing that has created automobiles as an Important factor of civilization and lias made the perfection of the aeroplane appear to be among the possibilities of the near future.

We have all heard that cleanliness I next to godliness," but the origin of the proverb has been obscure, no doubt, to many.
