For generations past the Rhine has served to inspire the spirit, of pin ,tmiotinm among his German chi1d~ .ren, who loved to call him “Father aRhine,” “Waoht. am Rhe-im” was {the great, xxntional song which was sung with an extraordinary fervor by the German soldiers alike in the hour of defeat, and victory in the Francoâ€"German Wa-r; being sung before the walls of Paris in that great- campaign which ended in vic- tory for the Prussian forces. And now that. their country is faced with a greater peril than any she has hitherto experienced, the words of Zthat great. war song bringing back memories of 1870, will be sung by mil-lions of the Kaiser’s forces on land and sea.

WHM ASUBMARINE IS [IKE AND WHAT THE VESSEL ACTU- ALLY IS AND DOES. Shaped Like a Cigar, Tower on Its Buck, and Is Full of Deadly Possibilities. So much has been written con-‘ cerning what, the submarine, by a. flight of imagination, may aehieve, writ-es the naval co‘rrespond‘enlt of the London Morning Post, that most peeple are somewhat, uncertain as to what the submarine actually is and does. To begin with she is shaped like a, cigar, and she carries a. tower on her back. Inside the tubular steel hull, valves and tubes and pipes line the wails; aft, in a space so low that the engineers can hardly stand upright. are the interâ€" na‘. combustion engines and the electrical motors which drive the vessel when she is under water.

Officers and men are dressed in sea-boots, sweaters and mugh clothing. The submarine running awash forges susllenly onwards with a heavy grinding noise, the water liftâ€" ing and dripping from the gills which project on either side of her snout. Below, the hull is filled with the crashing of the furious engines cramped into the narrow tube of steel. The engineers squat placid- ly among the racing rods and pis- tons, in the thick atmosphere tazinvtâ€" ed with fumes. Should the sea,â€" water enter the hull and mix with petrol gas, the fatal chlorine gas is formed, and the crew are suffo- elated. The method of the submarine is to cruise at economical speed, ten knots or less, on the surface, until she sights a hostile vessel. As she is so small she can see another ves- sel before the other vessel can see her. Then she sinks. The captain and the crew go below; the batches are closed; and the captain, swing- ing his weight upon the crossâ€"piece from the periscope, his eye upon the mirror, gives his orders. The crew are lying along the sides, ready to turn valves on or off. ,The internal combustion engines are stopped and the propeller shaft is connected up to the electric motors. There is a. sudden silence. Captain’s Part. The process of submerging is a. process in the brain of the captain. He has a. 1118an picture of what each tank contains, and how much weight is driven out forward or aft at each order, and what will be the effect upon the vessel. He comâ€" municates this process to the vessel itself. He must first dip her bows Slightly, then her stern, then bows again, and so on. If he mkes a mistake the submarine may dive down, and then all is done. uvv-u, (Aujv wnwnn w». w “vyv. The process is reflected in the brain of his lieutenant, who stands near by the captain. In ordinary vessels, if an oflicer faian or makes a mistake, there are a. dozen people at band who can put it. right, be- cause they know what ought to be done. Not so in the submarine. The only person beside the captain who knows what is going on is his lieuâ€" tenant; but- the consequences of a mistake would follow so quickly (that the lieutenant could not rectify it. $200.00 IN GflLDBIVEN AWAY FBEE§ What She Dom.

The men lying beside the valves know nothing except how to do What they are told. Nor is the-re any sensation of motion as the boat sinks. It seems "to be as still as a. drawing-room on shore . The p-eriscop-e, which is about the ysize of a, saucer, remains aboum eighâ€" teen inches above the surface, and, viewed from the dye-ck of a Ship, all} that is seem is a flit-ting pennant of white spray, as it cuts the waves, like a ssabird’s wing.

And from above nothing is visible at all. The submarine is now blind. She cannot see through water. But she can steer a, course. Her captain has made his calculations before he submerged his p-eriscope. And the range of a German torpedo is about 3,000 yards at, 25 to 30 knots. The submarine can fire her torpedoes, go about, presenme rising unztil her periscopxe is above water, then her- self continues underneath the sur- face until it is safe to rise, and like a. whale, to breathe again.
