The piece, completed by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle last May just before his American trip, was written as a final anxious wardog to England ahead of renewed conflict. The war arrived sooner than he had feared, shaping the narrative’s urgency.
A European power advances a submarine campaign against England, sinking ships near the Thames and provoking famine, while Britain buckles under food shortages and rising prices. The narrator recounts Britain’s collapse, social unrest, and the ominous view of dependence on a victorious enemy.
The premier and foreign secretary were under threat yet the government pursued the war with broad support. Critics failed to grasp Britain must grow its own supplies or tunnel in supplies to the island. Without this, vast military expenditure would be wasted against submarines and their operators. England has erred before but often escaped blame. this time luck won't save her.
The narrator recalls the ten days after resuming command, recovering ships in French waters, a near disaster from a valve, and messages from Bristol and Delta. After peace, he reflects on English resentment toward attacking merchant vessels, asserts fierce wartime ethics, and quotes a Times leader noting losses and the lesson learned about blockade and food for Britain.
The article argues the nation must produce enough food domestically to avoid famine, despite high prices or quality dips. It champions two new Channel rail links, warns against reliance on tunnels, and supports merchant submarines for food transport as safeguards against future shortages. A concluding note announces a National Education Association prize for essays on religion in education with a June 1, 1915 deadline.
