- Lieutenant Commander Colton, U.S.N., is in love with Caroline Austen, daughter of a prominent political power in Washington. Colton has a rival in James Archer, a journalist of prominence, unscrupulous and secretly in league with the Ruanian Ambassador, who is endeavoring to obtain for his country inside information as to the United States naval resources. Gilman Austen, Caroline's brother, receives an appointment to the Naval Academy. He is much in love with Ethel McMasters, daughter of a superintendent, and pays so much attention to her that his term marks in navigation are so low as to preclude his passing the semi-annual examination. He is told of this by Captain McMasters, and Colton, Caroline Austen and Ethel McMasters then get busy in Oilman's behalf, Caroline working with Colton, who is in love with her. and Ethel attempting to influence her father, but these two officers absolutely refuse to exercise any influence in Oilman's favor. Mr. Austen, Sr., then takes a hand in the game, but finds naval men a different proposition from politicians, and as a result Gilman is forced to leave the Academy. Mr. Austen uses his power and has Colton transferred to the command of a collier. Gilman Austen, however, grits his teeth and 'lists in the navy as an apprentice, and here we see him carried through all his training experiences. Colton being of an inventive turn of mind and realizing the weakness of the submarines is in the battery, invents a new battery. Archer hears of this and informs the Ruanian Ambassador, who offers the traitorous journalist almost any sum to secure these plans. Archer is prevented from securing them by Gilman Austen, who is now a full-fledged able seaman, serving under the name of Roger Brown. The Ambassador then determines upon a big coup. He directs Archer, who now is completely in his power, to have a Ruanian merchant ship lay a series of mines in the channel through which the warships must pass. Colton has been placed in command of the submarine flotilla, and Gilman Austen is on duty with the D-2. Through Caroline Austen, Colton learns of the plot, and as the ships are due to arrive that night, Colton takes command of the D-2, goes out and submerges his boat. Time is precious, and Colton realizes that he cannot take the D-2 through the mines, so he has himself shot out of a torpedo tube and swims through the mines, goes on board the merchant ship and blows up the mines just before the fleet comes in. Colton is badly wounded and is rescued by Gilman Austen and the submarine crew. For his work in this action, as well as his general reputation and good character, Gilman Austen is sent back to the Naval Academy. Colton marries Caroline.

- The most complete series of pictures of our navy that have yet been presented to the public, and also the most attractive for the reason that they are projected in natural colors, are those which have been running for the past two weeks at the 44th Street theater. Prizma. Inc., a firm which is slowly but surely stepping forward into the front ranks of educational motion picture photography, is responsible for them. "Our Navy" tells us on the screen all that there is to know about that great American institution, second largest of its kind in the world. It shows us how thorough is the training given our boys of the navy and their officers. Target practice, in which they learn to be proficient in the use of the pistol and rifle, reminds us that the manipulation of big guns, which is a matter of crews and not of individuals, is not all that the navy man must know of firearms. Scenes at the Annapolis Academy are especially interesting. Then there is the getting ready for sea, which includes the making of big guns. And, by the way, the latter subject presented by Prizma affords a real spectacle - the draining of molten metal from the furnaces, for instance, or the drilling of the metal plates by various methods. The speeding up of the navy yards where we witness the actual building of dry docks and the dry-docking of battleships are points of special interest. The emptying of the dry dock allows the scraping of the ship below water line to relieve it of its burden of barnacles or other sea infection, and also repainting "with non-corrosive paint. Finally restored to ship-shape, the dread-naught is towed forth from the re-flooded dry dock and set free for another cruise. The inspection of the battleship fleet is an impressive sight. And one of the most interesting features of this group of pictures is the armored hydroplane cruiser fleet, showing the catapulting of hydroplanes from an armored cruiser. This is made possible by means of a track and movable platform, which later accompanies the hydroplane on its leap from the cruiser, when it drops into the water and is hoisted back into place again to await the replacing of the machine on its return. Other interesting illustrations show the launching of torpedoes, the manipulation of anti-aircraft guns, the clearing of the decks for action, turret salvos and fleet-firing from 14-inch guns. Reproductions of famous paintings of prominent figures in our naval history, and also of famous old battleships, including the "Constellation," were thrown on the screen in the course of the presentation. As a further exploitation of the fitness of the Prizma method of photography and projection, the first part of the program consisted of pictures of the Black-feet Indians in Glacier National Park, and some truly remarkable views of the Hawaiian volcano Kilauea. The pictures of the navy were made under the direction of Dr. George A. Dorsey. Moving Picture World, January 19, 1918
