 Secretary Daniels returned the speech this morning, according to MT.

 MT. Guy said he later found that Ad- miral Fiske spoke last night through a misunderstanding on the part of some one as to the meaning of a communica- ton from Washington denying him per- mission to speak,"

 Rear Admiral Robert E. Peary ad- dressed the society on the importance of an adequate aerial fleet. He urged the establishment of a separate department of aeronautics, independent of the army and navy, in charge of a man with a seat in the Presidents cabinet.

The entire fury of the Somme fighting once swirled about this somewhat insignificant mound of pow dered chalk, just off the Bapaume road, which is generally believed to have been a prehistoric tomb.

The Germans themselves will hardly
be satisfied with the Official explana-
ton Of the figures lately given out in
the British House Of Commons by the
First Lord OF the Admiralty Sir Eric
Geddes was perfectly clear on certain
essential points lie quoted, for in
stance, the German figures for August
and September, covering the supposed
losses Of all nationalitles, and stated
unequivocally that the total tonnage
actually destroyed in the former
month was a little more, and in the
latter a little less, than half the ton
mage claimed His conclusion was
that the Germans are not at all sure
Of what they are doing.
The answer is that the British fig
ures relate 10 net losses and the Ger
man to gross losses. Allowing for this
distinction, as also for the deliberate
omission in the British estimate Of
certain ships sunk in the Mediter-
ranean, the two sets Of figures, 1t is
Insisted, correspond pretty nearly.
This IS obviously absurd, for Sir
Eric Geddes was dealing with the
losses Of Allies and neutrals as we'll
as British losses and could not pos
sibiy have undertaken 20 estimate the
requirements abroad. He spoke clear
ly Of the tonnage destroyed, and the
only possible way Of justlfying the
German figures was by roundly deny
ing the truth OF his statement To re-
ooncile two sets OF figures so widely
different was a manifest imposslbility
The fanciful character Of the Ger
man figures has, indeed. long been es-
tablished in many instances where thJ
tonnage Of ships specified by name ha:
been grossly overstated, and in many
more where the submarine command
ers were unable TO identify their vic
tins. Moreover. a large number o.
submarines never rel urn TO their ports
and to the-e. no doubt. considerable
bags are attributed at hazard At al
