Tribute to q. S. Enterprise.

1T Is a great tribute to American
shipbuilding and to your enterprise
that you are now able to carry more
than half of these troops in your own
vessels, built in your own country and
manned by your own men. Thanks to
the mercantile marine of the allies,
who, with a skill, unfiinching courage
and pertinacity which we cannot ade-
quately extol, we have been able to
maintain those sea communications
without which our man power, our
munitions and our food supplies would
have been disintegrated and paralyzed.
1.-THE record of the sea-borne traffic
of the alliance is the clearest proof
of the value of sea power, about which
your great naval historian, Rear Ad-
miral Mahan. wrote so emphatically

heroism and endurance of the seafar-
ing men, whether of the fighting
forces or Of the mercantile marine.
ITO have had the opportunity of
visiting your country in the great war
ure to Vice Admiral Duff and myself
as representing the British board Of
admiralty. and it is an added pleasure
to us that we have come at q time
when the allied forces are winning all
along the line, and when we are reap
strategy and the overwhelming sea
power of the allied nations. But
have made it the keynote Of all my
policy and of all my advice to others
not to be deluded with hopes Of an
early peace, but to prepare for an
ever-receding duration Of the war.
We must always be prepared for two

tory in our hands.

Praise Of q. s. Sea Forces.

It was after a description of work
done by the destroyers that he said:
What have. said Of the destroyers
applies in no less degree to your sub
marines and your chasers. Their I'M
firing and constant harassing Of the
enemy has helped to bring the enemy
submarine to it's present position in
which we can confidently say that
it is now held. though not yet mas
tered.
IT lay great stress on these words.
A great renewed effort on the part Of
Germany Is pending. We know 1t and
it's extent. We face it with that
knowledge. and with the steadfast
courage Of our seamen 1t will be met. +"
Sir Eric spoke Of peace, but only
to say. in referring to his pleasure
at being in America at q time when
the allied forces are winning all along
the line and reaping the fruits OF
sound naval strategy, that his policy
and his advice to others was not to
be deluded by hopes OF an carly peace,
but always to be prepared for two
years more OF war.

Another great effort by Germany's
submarines is impending.
Sir Eric Geddes, first lord of the
British admiralty. in a statement last
night paying tribute to the part
played in the war by the American
Navy, disclosed that plans of the
enemy for what may be the final in
tensified U-boat campaign of ruthless
ness are known. and that the allies
are prepared to meet 1t.
No details were given by Sir Eric.
nor was further information to be
obtained W the Navy Department. as
to what the American and allied
naval chiefs have learned. There
were suggestions that Germany. In
the midst Of a peace offensive and
with her soldiers being driven back
to their own borders. hoped to
strengthen her diplomatic drive for a
peace by negotiation by sending her
submarines on a desperate campaign
of destruction, regardless Of measures

All of the Japanese troops for the
Siberian expedition have been landed
at Vladivostok, and more of the Amer
lean contingent have arrived there.
Despite rumors to the contrary, these
two nations and China are operating
there in complete harmony and their
forces are getting into action at once
to assist the Czecho-Slovaks and to
maintain control over the trans-Si-
berian railway. The enemy, opposing
the Czechs in eastern Siberia, made
up of soviet troops and Teuton war
prisoners, has a strength of 10000
men with 20 big guns and 200 machine
guns. In Baikalia, also, the
Czechs are fighting against heavy odds
and haste Is needed to secure Irkutsk
and western Siberia. In Russia the
Czecho Slovaks captured Shadrinski,
an important railway junction east of
the Ural mountains and between
Ekaterinburg and Kurgan.

Petrograd has been the scene of

finally martial law was proclaimed. In

600 officers arrested have been shot.
