GREAT DAMAGE,
SUBMARINE MINE
Buried Explosives Are Going
to Play a Great Part in the
I War-- A Mighty Destroyer.
The submarine mine I* going to plav
a great part In the present Kurupcnn
ronillct. Probably It will cause more
lavoc than In the Japaneae-RuasUn
war.
-Already one British ship, the Am
jphiun. has been destroyed by a North
pea mine laid by the Germans, with
the lutot of 120 men. It might be
poetic Justice that the ship which
placed the mine, the Koenlgen Lulac,
Was caught red-huhded by a flotilla of
jltrltish destroyers and sent Jo the bot
tom. However, the kaiser's mlne-lay
ler already had sown the seed of dls
jaster and the North sea may see is
many shfpH hit below ttu- water lino
land sent .to l»avy Jones locker as were
punk by ailnes In the Yellow sea In
(the Japnnt'He-Russian struggle.
[ Great Hrttuln has now determined
[to plant similar mines In all off-shore
navigably waters stnl It Is creditably
reported that Austria-Hungary, France
and Russia have done likewise.
' Peace Lovsr.
To the peace lover this menace to
shipping Is woefully’ shocking and yet
tt ts snbstanl ially In keeping with
the International agreement entered
Into st the Hague after the conflict
In the Far Kaat. This country can
not mince matters; the I'nlted States
was s party to that understanding
This may seem extremely barbarous
for there was a day when the sub
marine mine was abhorred, ns Robert
Fulton found out early In the nine
teenth century when he sought to In
terest the Kritish admiralty In this
manner of annihilating the most form
tdable of fleets. Hlnce then the sus
ceptibilities of civilised nations have
undergone a change and the submarine
mine Is now an accepted and accept
able engine of destruction.
Knglnml alone U said to have 20.(W 1
t>f these mines ready for service Rut
in military Ingle, there Is a rational
excuse for the sowing of contact mines
in the open sea. According to the old
.Roman law, territorial rights In adja
cent waters extended up to the middle
'lines, Just as two neighboring states
upon a river have thilr boundaries tit
ilhe center of the stream.
