been due to long distance difficulties and
L lack Of personal touch. But the Mayo
mission was sent among other pur-
poses to remove any possible cause Of
misunderstanding and the impression in
naval circles is that the American ad-
niral succeeded in his delicate task.
Vigorous Campaign
From now on, therefore, a vigorous
plan OF campaign in European waters
oy the joint naval forces OF the United
States and Great Britain is confidently
expected. In fact 1t is not over-emphasiz-
ing the Importance of the Mayo mis-
sion to say that Americas naval policy
;or the entire war may be determined
by the advice and suggestions given in
he conference at London.
Americas desire to put her entire
navy into action, IL necessary, to hunt
the submarines to their bases and to
force the German fleet into the open
was placed before the British admiral
" in unmistakable fashion. But the
British experience in naval warfare
is OF such wide range that the United
states would necessarily be guided
in these matters by the judgment OF
Sir Eric Geddes and his naval staff.
beslQeS lne Importance OF n Gun
ference on naval plans, the value OF
Admiral Mayo's mission was the op-
portunity It gave to establish close
personal relations with the British
admiralty for the remainder OF the
war.
Mission May Come Here.
1t Is quite possible that a British
naval mission may visit this country.
or that a joint naval board may be
formed to sit in London and direct
the operations OF the combined fleets.
The encouraging thing is that the
entire American navy, from admirals
to ensigns and enlisted men. are
eager for action, and that President
Wilson and Secretary Daniels are de
termined that the navy's part in the
war shall be a memorable one in
American history.
What Admiral MAYO reports. there
fore, eventually may prove a turning
point in the prosecution OF the wal
on the seas.
