Default Why 2 screws?

Why do the WWI era subs use 2 shafts with 2 screws instead of a single screw on a single shaft like a modern sub? It seems to me that one larger screw would push a lot harder than those 2 little ones. Was is an issue with the screw breaching the water while the sub was running on the surface?
