This is a happy day, a day of noble
memory, a day Of dedication and a
day Of the renewal of that spirit that
has made America great among the
nations of the world.'
The old soldiers waved their hats
and the hall resounded with the "reb-

the platform. Many veterans crowd

fore he began his speech. Thousands
stood on the streets outside the hall.
Significant Cincidencc.
The president said that he felt
there was some significance i'm the
coincidence that at the moment he
was welcoming the former host of
the confederacy to the capital they
sought to destroy, millions of young
men were registering themselves for
service to keep the world free.

SUBMARINE TOLL
LAST WEEK STILL
SHOWS DECREASE
American Destroyers Have
Tiffs With U-boats but De-
tails Are Not Allowed to Be
Published.

taY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wiRsl
London, June s (5:50 p. m.)--The
weekly report of losses Of British mer-
chant vessels in the submarine cam
paign will again show favorable
total when it is issued tomorrow. In
some respects the last week has been
the best since unrestricted submarine
warfare was inaugurated. Last Fri
day was blank day on the records;
that is, no losses of British merchant
men occurred. 1t is the first time
this has happened for long period.
British naval authorities believe the
Improvement is cumulative and there
is not the slightest chance. with the
improved allied organizations, that the
Germans ever will repeat their per-
formance of the black week when
nearly sixty boats were sunk.
The weather continues to favor the
boats which are fighting the subma-
rines and the cooperative organiza-
ton OF the patrols, aircraft and other
anti-submarine services Is improving
constantly.
The arrival of American units has
helped in more ways than one.
Among other things it has instilled a
friendly rivalry in the campaign
against the submarines, stimulating
the morale and adding to the Keen
ness of the men of both fleets in i'm
proving the technique of the anti-sub-
marine campaign. There is more
careful supervision together with va
rious vigorous offensive measures
which it Is impossible to detail. In
the last week there have occurred
numerous encounters, the results OF
which have been entirely satisfactory
to the admiralty. American ships
have share of the credit.
