London June 6.-The American de-
stroyers have completed their first
month Of active service in the great
war They have been favored with
excellent weather which is big
factor in anti submarine warfare.
Most of the time they have had sunny
skies and smooth seas, with just
enough sqcall and storm to put their
seamanship to the test The favorable
weather conditions made their task
of learning the technique Of anti
submarine warfare much simpler and
easiei
The American boats are assigned to
work hand in hand with the British
squadrons, being virtually assimilated
into the British naval machinery
here A destroyer is usually out for
four or five days, and then returns to
port for two or three days while coal
