'The department calls attention to
this fact as proof that the German

That the German espionage system

The source Of the 'leak' however,
will cause the deepest probe. 1t was

What General Wood Asks

Yorkyille Enquirer.
Wherever he goes General Leonard
Wood is asking this question:
do the people here know yet that
the United States is at war, and do
they realize the awful struggle that is
ahead?"
The honest, frank answer to this
question is, No. The people have no
appreciation of the fact that they are
at war, and they have absolutely no
conception of what is ahead of them.

Z. S. NAVY MINING
- IN FIGHT ON SUBS
Daniels to Promote Sims to Vice
Admiral for Effective Work In
Battling U-Boat Menace.

Washington, May 24.-With reports
reaching the navy department OF ire
mendously effective work by the
American destroyer fotilla in the
submarine zone, Secretary Daniels an
nounced this afternoon that President
Wilson would appoint Rear Admiral
William S. Sims, commander OF tne
force, a vice admiral.
The nomination will be sent to the
senate Immediately that the represen-
tstive of the American navy abroad
NAV associate on even rank with the
British and French commanding Of
fcers.
Only Three.
There is at present only one vice
admiral in the American navy, al
though three are permitted by law.
Admiral D. W Coffmaa, now attached
TO the Atlantic fleet IS the man who
holds the title. His IS outranked only
by the commander of the feet, Ad-
neral Mayo, who holds the rank of a
sull admiral.
Reports that % German submarines
had been accounted for during the
last week by American and British
patrol boats went unconhrmei at the
navy department today. 1t was point
ed out that all reports On the capture
or destruction of German submarines
were withheld for several reasons
one the psychological effect on Ger
many and the other that Germany
herself might not know and thus be
able to replace a lost vessel.
'4When a German submarine leaves
it's base" said an official, "it is not
expected back for five weeks. 1t takes
supplies to last that length OF time
and is given certain sea area IN
which to operate.
when that submarine goes out the
German admiralty loses all track OF
it and does not know until the suDma-
rine either returns or fails to return
what has become of it.
Replace 1t.
eff the Americans or British were
to capture one of these submarines
and then announce the fact it would
enable the German admiralty to send
out another submarine to replace the
lost one. If nothing is said the Ger
mans have to wait perhaps weeks be-
fore knowing whether to replace the
submarine and in those weeks the
area patrolled by the lost submarine
is free from danger to merchant YES
sels.'
Concerning the activities of the
American fiotilla, the same official
who has had access to the confidential
reports of Admiral Sims said:
"There is no doubt that the presence
of American destroyers has been
largely responsible for the reduction
in merchant tonnage loss in the war
zone during the last week.
although it may not seem probable
we know it to be true that a vessel
lust beginning the work OF hunting
submarines is far more effective than
one that has been on patrol for a year
or more. have no doubt a number
of submarines have been captured or
destroyed by the joint patrol"
To obtain officers for the increased
navy, Secretary Daniels today author
lied the graduation On June % this
year, Of the third class at Annapolis,
which in the ordinary course of
events would have graduated on June
