SAYS FRENCH ADMIRAL

wAsHlNGT4N. May .
The United States navy, most powerful
IN the world next to that of Great Britains.
will weigh heavily in the final victory Of
the Allies over Germany. Admiral choche-
prat. Of the French mission. today told
Washington newspaper correspondents.
Regarding the matter Of cooperation he
said:
You must not expect me to discussS
in detail our general war plans espe-
cialy as regards our campaign against
enemy submarines. need only say
that that is a question claiming priority
above all others
You will understand that | have
fully and frankly explained these prob
lens to your high naval officials with
whom | have been in touch here
have every reason to hope that we shall
succeed in establishing the closest pos
sibe cooperation between the Amer
lean and Allied navies for the assur-
anCe of the freedom Of the seas, the
protection Of trade and the triumph
OF our rights
Foreign Powers respect the United States
navy. Armra Chocheprat said, ana he paid
high tribute to its fitness and excellent
equipment.
II am sure that the American navy is
ready to support in the most advantag geous
fashion the, cause Of the Allies now shaping
a course toward victory the Admiral said
He also lauded President Wilson and ex-
pressed the great JOY of France in finding
the United States on the side of the Allies
In the war against Germany.
Admiral Chocheprat. who. after command =
ing a squadron of battleships in the Medi-
terranean, was placed in charge of the
French coast defense and sea a-trade protec-
tion. said:
"The United States is in possession of the
most powerful feet in the world next to the
British. and this is bound to weigh heavily
IN Fastening the day when flnal' victory will
he wrung from the foe.
Your navy is wonderfully equipped and
] really felt amazed when I chanced to see
recently some of its units. among them the
battleship Pennsylvania and those trim
look destroyers that came out to meet us at
sea
There Is no need to praise your navy
personnel Throughout my long sea-life it
has often happened that ! have come across
Amer lean men-o'-war, and | am pleased to
say that on every occasion the very high
merit Of the officers as well as the perfect
training Of their men has aroused my in
tense admiration. What l. have seen here
since my arrival serves only to emphasz
my previous impressions
