1T Is not surprising that the first ves-
sels to see active service are the de-
S1royers. The North sea Is infested
with German submarines, and 1t has
been demonstrated in the past that de-
sensive operations are of little avail.
Naval experts agree that to wipe out
the submarine peril it will be neces-
gary to conduct an extensive offensive
warfare and strike the hornets at their
nests. In order to accomplish this the
sea Is filed with vessels of all types,
armed to fire at once on a submarine.
SHnd from now on the waters adjacent
-ao Great Britain are going to be un-
ahealthy for enemy submarines.
Sims Stands High In Navy.
Admiral Sims, who commands the
American destroyers In European wa.
1ers, Is considered one Of the most efl.
scsent officers in the service. He is a
native OF Canada and graduated from
the Naval academy in 1880.
After service in all parts Of the
world, including intelligence duty an
naval attache at Paris and Petrograd
he became inspector of target prac.
