But now that the practicabil- ity and merit of the weapon are rc vealed, almost entirely by foreign in- vestigation, it must be said it comes a matter of vital national fence that the development of the new weapon should be not only encour aged but ordered by those that too long have neglected claims their sympathy as a on their intelligence as a in the tactics of war.

(New York Herald) Discussing the submersible battle ship proposed by Lord Fisher, in con- sequence of the dangers inherent in| air attack, the British Naval and Military Record declares that the ef- fectiveness of such assaults remains to be proved, because anti-aircratt guns have made it impossible for air ships or planes to low enough to bomb swiftly ves- sels with much chance “The torpedo plane, other proposition,” it adds, “and | many officers that have seen it work | | | in war, la- and to a League of descend moving success. however an- of so belicve that the torpedo plane is coming a bane more deadly than submarine.

S. made two recommen- dations, first, that this country should continu to use submarines for de- fence, and, second, that it should build new types of vessels equipped with aeroplanes able to attack fleets at close range with torpedo planes. The second of these recommenda- | tions has since received the strongest confirmation, and it is gratifying to know that the idea of the weapon was conceived by an American naval offi- cer. In the winter of 1910-11 Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske proposed its employment for the defence of the Philippines, and in July, 1912, a patent for the torpedo plane was granted to him by the United patent office.
