covered by a single destroyer was more
than $4,000 miles from May 1, 1917,
to April 1, 1918. This destroyer was
one of the first to arrive abroad after
war was declared.
1t has been announced that Vice Ad-

consider that the circumstances deman-

front.
The French have had naval division

the deciding factor between a-good
