SUBMARINE IN WAR
METHODS OF DETECTION. The practical question is—what is the submarine's relative value now to what it was in 1918? says a correspondent of the “Sunday Times.” One notes down at once how by new invention! the submarine has lost some of its quality of elusiveness, and as elusiveness contributes most to its success its value has in great measure deteriorated. Presumably, also, the submarine, once located, can be followed and waited for. True, this method of detecting the submarine has to be proved in war, but its probable success is confidently anticipated by the Royal Navy. Then there is the extended range of action of aircraft available to look for submarines to cruise on selected and guarded trade routes, as. by having the command of the sea, the Navy will be able to utilise every form of attack and defence against the submarine. Further. British ail- forces will be. fighting the enemy's for that temporary mastery in the air over his submarine bases so that these may be effectively bombed.
