It shows payments to secret agents to

shows payments to men to plot against

AMERICA CAN HELP ALLIES
HUNT DOWN SUBM ARINES
ASSOCIATED Press by u. S. Nava!
Wireless)

LONDON, April 17.-Admiral Sir
John Jellicoe, first sea lord of the
British admiralty, yesterday broke his
rule and gave out through the Assoc
ciated Press an interview on the war.
His subject was what America best
can do to aid the cause of humanity
against the German pirates.
The most useful contribution to
the war against Germany which the
United States can make" said the Ad.
miral, "will be in the shape of small
craft to fight the submarine. These
craft can range in size from torpedo
boat destroyers to sea going tugs ca
pable Of carrying gun. We cannot
get too many of this kind Of craft to
guard the sea lanes"
In discussing the possibility Of a
submarine attack upon the cities on
the Atlantic seaboard Of the United
States Sir John said that there is
small probability of such attacks ow.
ing to the lack of bases from which
the sea-sneaks of Germany might OPP
crate.
The British admiral also talked
about the need for saving tonnage for
use in carrying foodstuffs to the En-.
tente Allies. This he declared is a
vital factor in the carrying on Of the
war. rsE
