CERMANY'S
SEA FIGHTING
is OF DESPAIR
Press Correspondence

London, July 17.-Germany's present
method Of sea warfare is one of absolute
despair, declared Admiral Sir John Jelli-
coe, First Sea Lord of the British Adj
mralty in a public address the other
day. THE navy. assisted by the other
allies. is doing its best, and right well Ia
the American navy helping US he con-
tinued. Even the Admiralty is doing its
best. assisted by good deal of criticism"
Admiral Jelicoe was speaking at
meeting held to inauguyate a movement
to establish fund for sailors to be called
King Georges Fund for Sailors under
the presidency of Acting Lieutenant
Prince George. Paying a warm tribute
to the British merchant marine. the Ad-
miral said the sailor never knew a mo-
ment when the ship might not be sunk
under him and he very seldom saw the
enemy which sank him. At the best. he
took to the boats often 100 to 800 miles
from shore and often underwent terrible
experiences because the enemy shelled
the boats frequently after the men got
into them. The only effect OF that treat
ment on the British sailor was to make
him keen to get back to sea again TO have
a chance of getting his own back again.
Sir John gave some instances Of the
spirit which he said animated the sailors
of the mercantile marine. Among them
were the following:
The Anglo-Calfornian was attacked
and shelled for p hours by a subma rine.
After the attack had lasted Il hours and
the ship had been hit frequently, the
Captain decided that any attempt to save
his vessel was hopeless. AS she was be-
ing abandoned he intercepted a wireless
message from a destroyer ordering him
TO hold on as long as possible. The cap
tain and ships company promptly went
back to their vessel. The submarine con-
tinted to she'll the ship, the master ana
eight hands were killed and seven OF tho
crew were wounded, but the ship re-
turned to port.
The steamer Palm Beach was attacked
by a submarine and hit In several places.
and two members Of the crew were in
tured. A young apprentice who was
wounded remained at the wheel through
out the attack and refused to leave his
most. and the vessel was brought in in
safety.
she was later armed with a gun and
sank one OF two submarines which at
tackled her.
In the Adriatic recently three Austrian
cruisers came up to one Of the drifters
named Gowaniee, and summoned her TO
surrender The captain. with a six.

1.-THE LAST P0ST"--
A. CORRESPONDENTS
FUNERAL IN FRANCE
(Associated Press Correspondent

With the British Armies in
France, July 2.-It was an event as
impressive as unusual-thc burial Of
war correspondent today in little viii
laee of northern France, close to the
fighting line, where the drumming of
the guns served as rhythmic requiem
Chant. 1t was just the sort of funeral
that would have appealed to the dra-
matte instinct of NJ. Serge Basset, who
was a successful French playwright as
well as correspondent. and who, when
dying on the field two days before had
whispered that no death could be more
beautiful. The burial was in keeping
with that sentiment.
The British army, to which NJ. Bas
set was attached, paid him such on
ors as ordinarily are bestowed oniy
upon someone OF high military COM
mand, for all the correspondents per-
manently accredited i. at the British

too graphically that here, as elsewhere
along the front, German guns had been
registered upon the house of worship
as a principal point for annihilating
fire. The little edifce was draped
with French flags and more than half
filed with French and British officers
and the war correspondents Of all the
Allied nations. including America.
During the quieter moments Of the
brief service the dull thud Of the guns
and the occasional nearer crash Of
shells served as constant reminders
that this death, this funeral scene, was
but an infinitessimal incident In the
never ceasing toll Of war.
The service ended, there followed the
journey to little weed grown ceme-
terry. The body. borne by British SOL

ranged 1S-poundor fieldpiece--a gun
fresh taken from the firing front and
soon to return to its work of helping to
pound baci, the German line. There
was a large escort of infantry, band,
buglers, and a firing party of moro
than 200 rifles.
The funeral procession moved along
marrow streets crowded with the entire
population of the village, including the
amazing French school children with
ears so attuned to the clamorous clang
and boom Of war that peace will bring
them strange misgivings. There had
been many French and British funer-
ais in the village but none so imposing
in solemn paGeantry a this.
1t was a martial ceremony so in
stinct with the spirit of valor there
could not have been a single note IF
sadness about it save for the presence
Of a weeping figure in black, for into
the zone of battle Madame Basset had
come just a few moments before the
services began.
At the grave the buglcs sounded
The Last Post, the plaintive call Of
the night, similar in many respects to
the Taps of America. The rif1emen
fired three volleys and then the bugles
broke into the more joyous notes of the
REV eille"-the awakening. And still
from the sweeping circle Of the near
horizon came the unending drone of
battle.
NJ. Basset has been "sniped" BY a
German sharpshooter, who had at
tempted also to shoot two companions
and a British officer who heedlessly
rushed to his assistance Simultane-
ously the presence of the party in for
ward shellholes had been telephoned
to the German guns and a hail Of
heavy missiles fell about them. The
little group remained huddled togeth-
err, however. until Basset died. and
then the living made their escape nv
lodging from one bit Of cover to an
other. It was not until night fell that
stretcher bearers were able to reach
and bring back the body Of the CORE
spondent.
