Tacticians Also Considering Plan
to Fence in Ncrth eSa and Bar
Submarines From the Atlantic.
V,y U HARPER LEECH.
WASHINGTON, July 2. The sub
marine warfaro has reached a Btage
which will probably lead to a com
plete change of tactica. The change
of method will probably be as revolu
tionary uh the change in land warfare
which followed the battle of the
J la rue, when the war of maneuvers
wtls superseded by the war -of the
trenches.
On land the airplane und the ma
rhino kuu havo relegated the tactics
which man has lined on land since he
first began to make war.
But the British admiralty has fol
lowed the same ideas in fighting: the
submarine which have been followed
f all the victorious maritime powers
of history. It is the nimple offensive.
"Find the enemy and fight him.'1
The method Is in thoro accord with
the traditions of the British navy and
the national anthem "Urlttania Rules
the Waves." Until very recently It
was fairly successful. There was
nover any trouble about the "fight
cud of tho plan. Hut "find the ene
my" has proved the almost Insoluble
problem.
Four Methods of Flulitlnjc.
deduced to tactics, there are four
methods of fighting the submarine:
1. Tho Offensive. Hunting for
submarines with destroyers and pa
trols, covering the sea with submarine
chasers, dragging the sea with nets,
scouring the air with aeros.
2. The Defensive. Propping the
Idea of exterminating the submarine
by bottling up the Germnn coast with
net:i, mines and bomb-carrying cables.
3. Tho Sea Trench Method. Im
prisonment of the submarines by bot
tling up tlio German coast with nets,
mines nud bomb-carrying cables.
4. An Attack of the Buses. "Pig
ging tho rats out of t hoi r ho!c-s."
To date tho war against the subma
rine has followed the simple of fen
sivo. It was fairly succesnfuT"So long
ub the submarine had a limited cruls
Ing Tadlus and had to keep close to
tho shores of Britain. By covering
tho North Sea and the channel with
patrol boats and dragging them with
nets, tho British practically drove the
Btilaller submarines from the narrow
seas.
Difficulties to Contend.
The Germans countered with 1150-
foot submarines that could cruise out
lit the Atlantic.
The admiralty Is up against a mnth-
mutual impossibility. Tho further
out It extends the patrol, the bigger
grows the ratio of patrols to subnta
rines.
Assuming that ono patrol boat can
cover 20 square miles of sea, it would
require four times as many patrol
bouts to cover the sea 200 miles off
ho re- us It would take to protect the
pea for 100 miles out, while twice the
number of submarines would bo re
quired to blockade the circumference
of the patrolled area 200 mites out as
would be required for tho smaller
circle.
Kxtendlng (he limit to 4H0 mile"
would require H! times the number of
patrols to combat four times the ori
ginal number of submarines.

The only jujlutinn of this problem.
in the opinion of many naval men, I
for the British tuivy and its allies to
chunge Its tuctics and devote Its ener
gies to convoying and protecting nur
chant shipping.
Ships must wait until all the con
voy Is loaded, null at the s;ime xpeed
and make tho same ports. The 11 11111
Iter of trips per ship will be cut down
Tho docking facilities of the porta
will have to be enlarged. The quan
tity of freight which can be delivered
will be lowered perhaps r.o per cent.
This tremendous traffic problem
Iuih prevented the adoption of the con
voy system up to this time. Btit that
Vtty safety lies, according to experts
Who have the facts.
The convoy system and the patrol
led sea lane wnl cut down losses to a
negligible amount.
I'm of Airplane.
Kspeclally is this the case in fair
weather, when airplanes ran bo car
ried along In mother Milps to scour
the surrounding w.iters for subma
rines. Nnval air men say (hat the
submarine will never come lo the sur

Note the straight lines, which would be even more
unless the third or fourth methods of
fighting the submarine can succeed.
From the beginning of the war Bri
tain has tried to wall the submarines
in with mines, but as long as Holland.
Denmark andi.Vormay remain neutral
this plan cannot succeed, for the sub
marines are believed to escape thru

cannot lay mines.
I'Vnce In North Ken.
A plan la being consldored by tho
I'nlted States navy to build a huge
wire fence" In the North Sea from
Scotland to Norway, and to close tho
strait of Dover with a similar fence.
This would be a huge net, 200 feet
deep, loaded with contact bombs ut
every Intersection, held in place by
steamers stationed every few miles
and also held up by buoys.
.Improvements in submarines and
anti-submarine devices are adopted.
At present tho submarine is ahead
In the race, not because thero are no
weapons to fight It, but because of the
tactical difficulties of catching it.
That Is why it is believed the next
step In the submarine war will be a
change of tactics.

sian ballet may be no more.
When the old regime fell in Russia,
when popular representatives took the
places of the czar, his dukes and duch
esses, the famous ballet dangers who
thrived on royalty lost their source of
existence.
The most famous ballet dancer in
Russia, Mathilda Kscheinska, who
was the czar's favorite and receiv
ed an immense income besides a mag
nificent palace from him, lost both
when the people rebelled, was at one
time in danger of losing her life and
was Baved from poverty only by the
love the people had for her. i
Here in New York remain a few
Russian ballet dancers, and if these
do not pass the art on to the next gen
eration, the Russian ballet will be no
more. At any rate, the art can no
longer thrive on the whims of royalty,
it must entertain democracy.
The case of Mine. Kscheinska is
only ono of many involved in the
downfall of Russir.n royalty... Kach
duke and duchess had a favorite danc
er who had everything but the title to
put her In the royal caste.
Mine. Kscheinska, protege of the
former czar, was the rk-hest and most
popular of al.l Her jewels were so
valuable, when she danced in London
some time
guarded them. Among them was a
coronet of diamonds with sapphires as
urge as pigeon eggs.
When the house of Romanoff fell,
Mathilda Kscheinska fled. She left
ber palace just in time, for next morn
ing a mob broke Into her home, loot
ing and burning. Nikolai Lenlue, rad
ical socialist leader, made ber rooms

paper was prepared for the press in
her salon.
Hut despite her friendship with the
