extracted text: A submarine commander has but one means of judging the speed of the vessel to be attacked

—by noting the size of the bow-wave thrown up by the intended victim. The correct-

ness of the estimate means either a hit or a miss. The British have devised a clever method

of confusing the German submarines. A huge bow-wave is painted on the sides of the ship,

rendering it extremely difficult for the underwater craft to judge the speed accurately.

In the insert is shown a heavy Austrian Skeda howitzer concealed with hay to make it
invisible to the Russian air-scouts
