WAR ON SUBMARINES Is
TOLD BY BRITISH ADMIRAL
ers VIII Attempt to Raid
u. S. Coast.

Washington, April 2S.-Rear Admir-
raj Sir Dudley r. S. De Chair, the vet
eran naval officer of Great Britain's
war commission to the United States,
gave group of Washington newspa-
per correspondents first-hand story
of some of his experiences during the
two years he commanded patrol fleet
chasing German submarines. Without
minimizing the gravity of the subma-
rine menace, he confidently predicted
that it would be overcome.
Commenting in suggestions that
Germany might undertake subma-
rine campaign on the American coast,
the admiral said this would not be
profitable from the German point OF
view without extensive supply bases
on this side of the Atlantic.
The admiral spoke of the memorable
lessons the allies had learned in the
war, and said he and his colleagues
had come TO place them at the dis
posal Of the American govern
merit.
II only wish" he said, that could
tell you the number of German sub
marines that we have sunk. Unfor-
tunately, however, that Is a naval Sc
cret, as also are the means of detec-
ton OF submarines and OF combating
them, which it will be necessary to
guard in closest secrecy until the end
Of the war. Your navy has been fur
nished with full details, however, by
the present mission.
Nobody knows exactly how many
submarines the Germans are building,
but we know they are working at
feverish speed, and have heard reports
that they are turning out from two to
three a week"

u. S. STEAMSHIP SINKS
A GERMAN SUBMARINE
American Gun Crew Hits U-Boat at
1000 Yards-Diver Was Ready
to Attack.

London, April 27,zCap,ain Rice of
Tie American steamship Mongolia,
which has arrived at a British port,
said that the Mongolia had fired the
first shot of the war for the United
States and sunk German sub
marine.
The submarine, Captain Rice said,
was about to attack the great liner in
British waters on April 19. He de-
clared there was no doubt that the
U-BOat was hit and that there was
every reason to believe it was de-
stroyed.
The naval gunners on board made
clean hit at 1000 yards.
"There was a haze over the sea at
the time" said Captain Rice. I'VE had
just taken sounding, for we were
getting near shallow water, and we
were looking at the lead when the first
mate cried: There's a submarine off
the port bow
THE submarine was close to us, too
close, in fact, for her purposes, and
she was submerging again in order to
maneuver in better position for tor
pedoing us, when we sighted her. We
saw the periscope go down and the
swirl of the water | quickly ordered
the man at the wheel to pull it to star
board, and we swung the nose of the
ship toward the spot where the sub
marine had been seen. We were GO
ing at full speed ahead, and two min
utes after we first sighted the U-bOat
it emerged again about 1000 yards
off. It's intention probably had been
to catch us broadside on, but when it
appeared we had the stern gun trained
full on it.
"The lieutenant gave the command
and the big gun doomed. We saw the
periscope shattered and the shell and
the submarine disappeared.
81 can't speak too highly of the cool
manner in which the lieutenant han
died his crew or of the efficiency of
Ameican naval men,"

JOFFRE WANTS
AMERICAN ARMY
Says France Pins Hopes on
u. S. Troops.
PLEASED BY WARM WELCOME
Hero of the Marine Declares Germany
Fears America Will Send an Expe-
dition-Pays High Tribute to
This Nations Valor.

Washington, May 1.-"France which
has long recognized the valor of the
American soldier, cherishes the con-
fident hope that the flag of the United
States will soon be unfurled on our
firing line"
Marshal Joffre, the hero of the
Marine, made this statement on Sunday
to a group of newspaper men in an in
terview granted at the temporary home
of the French mission here.
Marshal Joffre's address was sent to
the state department to be passed upon
by the censors.
The text as given out there follows
1.-THE very cordial welcome given me
by the city of Washington and the
expressions of sympathy which reached
me from states and cities throughout
the United States have moved me deep
Iy, since they are a homage paid to
the whole French army, which | rep
resent here.
1.-THE heroism and resolution of the
soldiers of France indeed deserve ali
the affection the United States has
shown tihfs.l; 4aAiitar having iRsa su-
preme effort, defeated and thrown back
barbarous enemy, the French army
his untiringiy labored to increase and
perfect its efficiency. And now in the
third year of the war it is attacking
the enemy with greater vigor aud ma
terial force than ever before.
hwy cid NTH ~ and amin q + p6
by no less heroic spirits stands the
British army, whose formation and de-
velopment viii ever remain the adj
miration of the world.
1.-The Germans have realized it's Won
derful growth Every encounter has
made them feel the increasing menace
of its strength. The contempt they
pretended to feel for it in the early
DAYS of the war has gradually become
dread more openly avowed each day.
Led by it's illustrious president, the
United States has entered into this
war. BY the side of France in the de-
tense of the ideals of mankind the
place Of America is marked.
France, which has long recognized
the valor of the American soldier,
cherishes the confident hope that the
flag of the United States will soon be
unfurled on our fighting line. This is
what Germany breads.
''France and America will see with
pride and JOY the day when their sons
are once more fighting shoulder to
shoulder In the defense of liberty.
THE victories which they will GER
tainly win will hasten the end OF the
war, and will tighten the links of af-
lection and esteem which have ever
united France and the United States. .
