A New Engine of Destruction Added to
i:ae Navy.
NEW YORK, Nov. officii!
iepcrcs cn a he Holland submarine boat
from John Lowe, Captain, Unied
States Navy, and the Board of Inspec
tion and Surrey, the prsideni of which
is F.sderick Rogers, United Sia.es Na
vy, were made nubile today. Both re
ports deal at length in the r.ecnnicali-
C2 2S of the triads and both agree Jha,t
the trials have ba successful in ai
rnoic every particular. Captain Lowe,
in addition, Eubmits a report of his ob
servations as ordered by the Govern
ment. The trial cf the Holland boat took
place cn November 8 before the Board
of Inspection and Survey. The start
was made off New Suffolk, L I., with
nine men on board, or four more than
when g-oing into a fight. There were
three Whitehead torpedoes on board.
The te::s comprised aunning on the
surface and under the water.diving and
torpedo firing, and they were all very
successful.
Captain Lowe concludes his techni
cal report as follows: "I report my
belief that the Holland is a successful
and veritable submarine torpedo-boa.t,
capable of making a veritable attack
upon an enemy unseen and undeteota
b e, and 'that, 'therefore, ,s'he is -an en
gine of warfare or terrible potency,
which the Government tmusc necessa
rily adept into its service."
Of -his personal observations, he
says: . "Concerning the worse (than
vorthIe3snes3 of the present above
water torpedo system, its methods,
theories and appliances, the need for
a deliverance from its absurdities and
from the fools' paradise of its false
security, and instead the absolute need
of a real torpedo system, such as the
submarine system, I have "already re
ported under date of November 14,
1898.
"I would like to give further (reasons
why a submarine service should at
once be organized as a matter of pub
lic necessity and security. In the first
place we must concede that, notw.'ith
standing The Hague conference, the
time has not yet arrived for nations
to disarm; on the contrary, that na
'ticn which is not 'ready to fight, that
ceases to study war, that ceases to u
the most t rightful appliances wnen
war is arade, has already placed itself
in a position of inferiority and has
ceased ito poasess those valuable at
tribute which are well described in
the term manhood.
"We have distant dependencies, the
Philippines, Hawaii and the like. Will
an enemy .seek to hring us to terms by
attacking these? Perhaps so. But if
so, the move would be a weak one, ex
ceedingly weak. Let us not deceive
ourselves. Any powerful enemy would
net play warfare in !:hat fashion. They
would strike us in the vitals. An
eight-day dash across the Atlantic
would bring their iships to Mont auk
Poi'nt. where they would encounter the
American fleet, which 'being destroyed
by force of numbens, vhe remainder of
the snamy's ships could pass on and
anchor in Long lsla-nd sound in per
fect security and very shortly Lon
Island would become a foreign posses
sion.
We need right ort and rigxit now
fifty submarine torpedo vessels in
Long Island sound to preserve the
paces and to give potency to our diplo
macy.
"It seems to be quite a 'necessity that
this Government should not allow this
skill and knowledge of those owning
and running the Holland boat to pass
out of its own hands from native to
foreign lands, but should forestall such
a catastrophe by purchasing the Hol-
'and and putting the Holland people
under eoime ban whereby they will be
prevented from disclosing secrets to the
disadvantage of the United States."
