ARMENIAN RELIEF
The story of horrors printed in yes
terday’s Daily Times relative to con
ditions among the Armenians must
have stirred with pity the hearts of
all. Secure in the peace and tran
quillity of free America, it is not until
such stories as this are brought to
public attention that we realize the
weight of misery and woe that exists
in the world because of oppression and
misplaced power. It is expected that
one resuit of the great world war will
be to make a repetition of such hor
rors impossible.
Already, as stated in yesterday’s
dispatches, Admiral Bristol, in com
mand of the United States naval forces
in Turkish waters, has served solemn
warning on the “unspeakable” Turk
that the oppression of the Armenian
people must cease, and it is to be ex
pected that the warning will be fol
lowed up by action should the occa
sion arise.
In the meantime the noble efforts of
the committee for Armenian and
Syrian relief are being expended in
relieving the sufferings of this Chris
tian people whose extermination was
the object of the fanatical Moham
medans. A new light is thrown on the
subject by the writer of the article
printed yesterday, who says that the
oppression also had a sinister ma
terialistic object, and that greed in
spired the atrocities.
An effort is being made in Cordova
to raise a fund for the purpose of as
sisting in the rehabilitation of this
people. No appeal that has grown
out of the calamities of the war. is
more worthy of support by our chari
tably-inclined people than this one,
and this favored section should do its
share, and more than its share, to
il’ 1 the relief of these unhappy
people.
USE OF SUBMARINES
IN FUTURE WARFARE
WASH INCTON\~Aug. 30 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Abolition of the sub
marine as an instrument of modern
warfare does not seem probable to
American : ava office. '? who have
given careful study to the arguments
put forth before Allied naval com
missions investigating the subject.
It is the belief of these officers that
su-bmarines will become more and I
more numerous in the principal I
navies of the world during the next
few years.
In reviewing the deliberations of
the Allied commissions on naval
terms, American officials find that
while many pertinent arguments were
developed against the use of sub
marines, many strong points also
were advanced in their favor. The
principal argument for this abolition
was that as long as the submarines
were recognized as legitimate instru
ments of warfare there would remain
the danger of some nation repeating
the ruthless and inhuman campaign
inaugurated by Germany. Advocates
of the submarine, however, do not be
lieve such past inhumanities should
be the determining factor in deciding
whether the submarine should be
abolished.
The naval factions both in this coun
try and abroad opposed to the aboli
tion of the submarine believe that the
factor of possible mercilessness of
the undersea craft should not be sep
arated from the equal and possibly
worse horrors of gas warfare, bomb
ing from the air and mines. The
parallel between the submarine and
the marine mine seems closest, par
ticularly since the mine is now and
has for many years been recognized
by all nations as a legitimate instru
ment of war. Figures gathered by
the British during the war shawr that
the losses to British merchant ship
ping through mines amounted to^
6,377,000 tons, compared with 5,739,
000 tons sunk by submarines.
The argument has been advanced
that despite the fact that the best
inventive genius of several nations
worked on the problem of devising
means to wipe the submarine out of
existence, the sub-surface craft re
mains the only long-radius vessel
that, alone and unsupported, can go
nearly anywhere and, entirely dis
ccimtihg its main purpose of tor
pedoeing enemy warships, its unique
defensive qualities makes it a naval
weapon of the utmost usefulness even
when restricted in its use against
merchant shipping.
At the worst, naval strategists
point out, it is never a liability that
must be protected and defended. It
is admitted'among naval men that the
big ship still rules the seas. How
long this will be true is the question
now taxing the best naval brains of
the world. It is conceded, for the
present at least, that the nation that
holds blindly to one line of naval de
velopment and neglects another, par
ticularly the submarine, will be in
great ultimate danger.
While the nations having the
strongest navies have throughout the
peace deliberations shown a disposi
tion to agree to the abolition of the
submarine, the smaller and weaker
nations maintain that, having less
powerful navies, they are forced to
cling to the more powerful instru
ments of protection and offense and
that therefore they must retain the
submarine as a matter of self-pro
tection.
