A Sub In 1775, Although Dr. David Bushnell, an American inventor and grad- uate of Yale in the class of 1775, nearly sank the ‘‘Eagle” in -New York harbor during the Revolu- tiomary War by the use’of his one- man submarine, “The American Turtle,”. and Robert Fulton, an other American inventor success- fully demonstrated the blowing up of a brig in England in the pres- ence of William Pitt, with a mine he had. placed under. the . ship’s | bottom by the use of a submar- ine, the under water vessels failed to come into their own until the invention of the automotive tor-! i pedo. Three Group Types Modern submarines may be class- ed in three groups, fleet, mine-! {laying and coastal. Fleet and coastal submarines use torpedoes as their chief offensive power. Mine laying submarines| ‘were found to be of great import- ance during the World War, for \in laying mines, the submarine was nble to appmuh the harbor and lay down mine fleld.s f.hat emwr blocked the ene- my or made it necessary for the enemy -to delay the exit from the harbor until the mines were swept clear. Coastal submarines are of great use in coastal defense or in oper- ations at sea where fleet speed or long cruising radius are not re- quired. The fleet submarine, of which | the Narwhal in the harbor now is | an example, though of long cruis- ing radius, and speed are able to | work with the fleet on long cruis- es, maintain station with the fleet in all weather, and act as a guard against submarine attacks from the enemy and take the offensive when the enemy is engaged, and also penetrate into the harbors of the enemy fleet and attack it, carry | sufficient food, munitions and fuel | for extended operations. The Nar- whal carries food and supplies for more than 75 days, independent operation, Blind, But Not Deaf ‘When completely submerged be- low the periscope, the submarine is blind, but not deaf, as numer- ous intricate devices pick up the presence of ships and large ob- jects. The propagation of sound through water is more rapid and efficient than through air, because the water does not have so great a cushioning effect upon sound waves. Huge Torpedoes The Narwhal type of submarine |has six torpedo tubes, four for- ward and two aft. Each of the torpedoes are 21 feet long, have approximately 500 pounds of T.N.T, in their nose, and after being discharged from the tube by com- pressed air travel with their own i mechanism driving their own pro- peuors Their steering devises can 'be set so that after leaving the ship they will turn at the desired tangient in the direction of the target. This means that in quick firing ‘the submarine does not have to meaneuver so that the tubes will be facing the target. In addition to carrying 32 of the huge torpedoes, the Narwhal has two six-inch guns.

Cool breezes are sweeping the various sections covered by the wave and rains in .some areas brought a sharp drop in the tem- peratures but brought no material aid to the drought districts. Temperatures broke 43 degrees in some parts of the United States but in the Pacific Southwest where & new heat wave has started, thermometers rocketed to 110 de- grees. The heat wave has taken the greatest toll in Missouri where 378 persons died.

Gains Are “There is nothing of major im- portance to elicit any discourage~ ment in the week's progress, Heat and drought led to conservation of funds for emergency purposes, and the unsettled labor situation on the Pacific Coast and in some mid-West cities caused consider- able damage to business, but in the South Atlantic, New England and Middle Atlantic States, gains were reported all along the line.”| The Review predicted that the' fall upturn in trade may be later in making its appearance than was indicated at the close of the second quarter. — e, L.

Here among young and old Gastineau Channel residents in the undersea fighting craft of the country’s navy by the arrival here of the first submarines to cruise in Alaskan waters. Questions are rife about these unusual craft, not only as to the dry measurement and statis- tics but as to the life that is lived aboard them by officers and crew. ‘Among the most frequent ques-; tions asked by visitors to the sub- marines are: ‘“Do you travel sube merged?” (Yo eome to the surface?”. “Are the | sleeping - quarters comfortable?” water?” “What, is the sensation when you submerge?” “Why are some ships black and some grey?” “How ' deep can you go?” The Empire reporter asked them all and more, So, whilewe are a bit groggy with an attempt to overcome a vast ignorance concerning the grim looking war vessels, some of the answers were obtained and we ‘won't worry so much about the of- ficers and men of the service get- ting ‘proper sleep or fresh air the future. 4 Sleeping accommodations aboard the submarimes, while a little crowded are as comfortable as those on the destroyers Buchanan and Crowninshield ‘which were in port early this month, and ships of their type. “Do You Travel Submerged?” The submarines do not travel submerged from port to port due to the fact that the battery ca- pacity is so limited it would be necessary to come to the surface every few hours to recharge. How- ever, while traveling on the sur- Iface, even at full speed, they am!

When they are cruis- ing with the fleet on tactical work the submarines do remain sub- merged from 5 to 10 or 12 hours. “How Deep Can You Go?” Submarines of Division 12 are built to withstand a Sea pressure at a depth of 300 feet, which is equal to a pressure of 165 pounds a square inch They are actually tested to that pressure by sub- merging that deep, though nor- mally a submarine operates at a depth of 100 feet, coming up oc- | cassionally to periscope depth, or | approximately 60 feet, to look around. Contrary to the layman's belief | there is absolutely no sensation experienced upon diving, other than a consciousness of a slight angle| that might be taken by the sub- marine nor is there any change in atmospheric pressure within the ship from that experienced upon the surface. Air in submarines will last for from 27 to 30 hours without em- ploying the use of extra oxygen or chemicals for removing carbon dioxide which is generated by normal breathing. If these chem- icals and the oxygen are employed the air in a submarine will sus- tain life for about four days. | Supplies Aboard | Food is kept fresh in refriger- ating systems and chill rooms that | will carry a supply of fresh food | for a period of about two and one | half months.

LONDON, July 27.—Sds- .[picious Europe peered fear- {fully today at the powder smoke clouds of the civil war which has puffed in Austria. Suspicious Europe saw the Austrian Government, head- ed by Prince von Starhem- berg, as Chancellor, fighting the rebellious Nazis with guns, hand grenades and pro- paganda. The chief propaganda am- munition was that Chancellor Adolf Hitler has named Ger- many’s Vice - Chancellor von Papen as Ambassador to Aus- tria. He is a non-Nazi and a consepvative and will re- place Nazi Ambassador Kurt Rieth whom Hitler recalled because he was mixed up in the internal Austrlnn mat- ters. 1 The von Papen nnnounea- ment was received with sat- isfaction by the Vienna # Italy is taking no ch: on the outcome of the situa~ tion in Austrin_&nd has 48,- 000 soldiers on 'the border ready to move across it at a moment’s notice with equally by as fighting broke out im Austria between Government - forces and Nazis close to the Italian border. In Paris the Foreign Office said the slaying of Dollfuss wrecked Nazis hopes for sym- pathy and econtrol of Austria. It is indicated that France, Great Britain and Italy mean business in their joint de- claration t hat independence of Austria mast be preserved. At the Italian suggestion, a joint three power protest will be sent to Germany for that government's alleged connection with Dollfuss's death. Peace, according to French of- ficials, seems to be strengthened by the “failure” of the Austrian Nazis and also world wide dis~ approval of the German campaign against Dollfuss, ; Chancellor Hitler is described by officials as suffering from “striking defeat” of the Nazis.
