A New Submarine

Review and Herald Publishing Association · Takoma Park Station, Washington, D. C. · Aug 12, 1915

THE public press reports the completion of an American submarine whose tests prove it has a cruising radius of more than 6,000 miles, making it possible for the boat to cross the Atlantic Ocean and return without stopping. This is perhaps but the first step toward the improvement of the navy, so as to meet the requirements of modern warfare. Another indication that this nation is preparing for war is the recent appointment of Thomas Edison as chairman of an advisory bureau of engineering experts.

From the standpoint of the statesman, it may seem indeed advisable that the country prepare for war, but from the standpoint of the Christian it is but another indication of the great battle of nations which Biblical prophecy shows will take place at the close of this world's history.
