! The submarine, with the memories It
raises of a- destructive career, dwarfs
and shadows the land warfare of to
day. The successful submarine com
; mander Is the most skillful corsair of
, the time—perhaps not equaled in any
time. Ho has all the military quali
ties. There is a marvelous mechanical
j grip in his set work and something
more. Nerve and endurance mark his
management even of an ordinary ma
neuver, nerve which is as rare as in
spiration, which, indeed, is often a
kind of inspiration. But this officer's
qualities reach higher than mere me
{ chanical skill. His powers of observa
I tion, his command over himself and
I his command over the cut and thrust

j cannot be surprised. He Is-ever ready
to accept a challenge, and once In ac

Qualltiee of a Commander.
There Is much mystery about tbe
submarine commander. The Germans,
who should know, have written noth
ing about him. Our official and au
thentic knowledge is due to' Italian
naval authorities. He is, they assert
with truth, a machine, but more than
a military machine, and technical
knowledge and mechanical skill are
not all. He Is ever a fighter, but he is
not wholly a fighter. He has prudence
and singular patience. He Is not mas
tered by the dust and detail of the
moment, but looks calmly and serious
ly at grent actions, thinking, planning
and, above all, seeing into the future.
This is the secret of his success, of his
magnetise: and bis firm hold on the
Imagination and will of his crew.
lie appears to.be little known. Ti)**
truth Is the theme of an authoritative
essay on the physique and training of
fhe officers and men of s submarine
which appears In the current number
of the Annall di Medictna Navale.
The commandant's part Is perhaps
the most difficult work In the whole
range of naval warfare. The manage
ment of such a delicately balanced
mechanism makes a tremendous de
mand upon the mental and physical
powers of its operator. The following
is a description of the kind of being
upon whom the safe'; of the craft, the
safety of the crew and of kumberiess
people in passenger ships depends.
Great Mental Strain.

PRISONER HIKES
TO SERVE TIME
Seward., March 19 — Emil Au-|
derson, of Naiahagak, ou Bristol bay,'
holds the long- distance record to
Alaska for an "unescorted, bike from
court to cell." Anderson was con
yioted at Valdez, home of Uio
court in this district, and travel
ed 600 miles alone to Nushagak,
where he served a thirty, day senr
tence. He carried his own com
mitment papers and ha<l served his
t»me, been. reloased and at home two
months before word reached the
court that he had obeyed orders.
Anderson's offense was that of
using a knifa in an argument at
the Nushagak cannery. After his
arrest he waa transported across
Bering sea, through Unimak pass
and northeast again to Valdez for
trial, a distance of nerly 1,500 miles
bv water. The testimony showed
that beyond a doubt he iuni out his
opponent, but }t also showed that
the opponent wag the aggressor.
Under these circumstance? the Jury
recommended extreme clemency. The
court took cognizance of the eitua
tiou and realizing that the man
had already been in custody Over
two months ordered that ha return
hon>e and de liver himself to the
deouty United States marshal and
serve a sentence of thirty days.
The last boat had sailed for Nu
shgak, and Anderson considered thg
possibility of getting a job on the
railroad here and waiting until
spring to go homg and serve his
sentence, but he had left many
things undone at home, so he obtain,
ed passage on a boat which landed
him at llliamna, on th'i West side of
Ccok inlet. From illamna, he
started on the long overland jour
ney across the upp§r end of the
Alaska peninsula. It was late fall,
and there were snow squalls and
ev*ry possible inconvenience.
For twenty days he waded and
swam and mushed over the hillg in
Arctic weather, eating sparingly of
his fast decreasing pack, which he
replenished twice with dag salmon
-from natives. He finally reached
Nushagak on October 27, where he
at once gave himself up, served his
term and wag released November
25. according to the official return
made to the clerk of the court
which arrived in the winter mall
via Cold Bay .

necuous. tie nas to regulate me speeu,
| keep the ship level, attending to the
depth and course. For every attack he
has these things to look after: Poise
I and launch the torpedo, read and re
read the objects In the reflectors of the
periscope. It is evident that the brain
is thus subject to an extraordinary fa
tigue which cannot be continued for
any length of time. How many myste
rious losses are due to brain fag, to the
smallest thing going wrong with the
officer's vision or nerve? The eyes are
apt to grow tired, the sight to become
dim, owing to the strain of looking into
the glass of the periscope by the feeble
light of the tossing, endless waters. If
one eye be used the light Is perhaps
better employed, and in this way stron
ger but monocular vision tires more
quickly than the vision of two eyes.
Soon the limit of endurance is reached
through the great bodily and eye
strain."
In the crew of the submarine there
must be technical experts to attend to
the torpedoes, the electric motors, the
steering gear, the horizontal planes,
the machinery for letting in air or ex
pelling water; there are electricians,
firemen, oilers, polishers and others
more like the sailors of ordinary times.
German sailors of this type whom the
writer has seen were remarkably deft,
with a facile neatness that seemed in
compatible with such merciless employ
ments. They were quick and light,
' qualities that are indispensable to men
who must overcome itwo physical
| forces—the pressure of the air, which
tends to rise In a submarine under Wa
ter, and the blood pressure and temper
ature, which also rise.
