1859 VESSELS IN u. S.NAVY Al TEND OF WAR

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 10
One month before the armistice
with Germany ended the war, the
American navy was operating a
total of 1859 vessels of all de-
scriptions, of which 264 carrying
$4,000 men were actively partici-
psEg in the war in European wa
tiers.
These figures were disclosed to-
day in the annual report of Rear
Admiral Griffin, chief of the bu-
reau of steam engineering. Daily
expenditures of the buerau during
the war year covered by the report
exceeded $777,000.
Admiral Griffin said the regular
navy on the date of his report con-
sisted of $40 ships, supplemented
by SO vessels from the coast
guard, lighthouse service, coast
and geodetic survey and fish COM
mission. In addition the navy was
then operating 937 converted mer-
chant craft, yachts and the like,
and the naval overseas transport
service, consisting Of 247 shipping
board and other supply vessels,
with 112 more about to be COM
missioned. Construction under
way for the regular army at that
time included $40 new ships of all
kinds and So tugs.
Since the United States became
a ~belligerent," the report states,

work of the navy, both mechanical

and electrical, not only in its &C
tual amount, but in the rapid de-
velopment of facilities for its ex-
ecution, has been without parallel
for the same period of time in the
history of the worlds navies."
To keep up the fleet abroad,
three regular bases were establish
ed in France, one in Great Britain,
one at Gibraltar and two in the
Mediterranean. These were sup
plemented by six repair ships
which achieved remarkable results
in repairing vessels at sea.
The report makes the first of
ficial announcement regarding de-
velopment of the submarine detec-
tion device and shows that Ameri-
can equipment for this purpose
has been placed aboard both Brit
ish and French naval craft. De-
tails are not disclosed, however,
the report in this connection con-
filming itself to the following par
agraph:
Previous to July 1, 1917, there
were two devices for submarine
detection in service. One was the
Fessenden oscillator, primarily in
tended for sending and receiving
underwater signals; the other
was a device developed by the gen
eral Electric company. Since then
eight other devices for submarine
detection have been developed and
made in quantity, not only for our
own navy, but for the British adj

further formalities. His work
was done and he dreaded to be the
center of more operations. His
field uniform of khaki made his
escape easy.
Only one really unusual incl
dent occurred during the cere-
mony and that revolved about the
goat mascot of one of the divis-
ions in the parade. The goat had
followed in with his men as be-
fitted a proper mascot, but once
in the square he was rudely rele-
fated to the rear ranks.
1t CHANGED that a number of
red-hatten staff officers took up
their position in front of the goat
and stood during the inspection
at attention with huge boquets out
back from under their arms.
When the inspection was over
the officers stood at attention
again and looked to their bo-
quets. They were holding only
stems. The mascot had taken a
sweet revenge and a square meal
for the insult to his dignity.

JEWS WARN AGAINST
TURKISH PROPAGANDA

AMSTERDAM, Dec. IA. - The
Jewish correspondence bureau at
The Hague has issued a warning
against the Turkish grand rabbi,
Ihaim Nahum, and his deputy, Mis-
sin Nazliah, who have arrived at
The Hague from Constantinople on
their way to America and Paris,
with the intention, the bureau
says, of creating a sentiment fav-
orable to Turkey, particularly in
America, and of playing off the
interests of the entente powers in
the east, one against another.
"Ihaim," the bureau says, sis
an opponent of the Jewish nation
al and Zionist aspirations. The
Jewish people view their liberia
tion from the Turkish yoke and
a British protectorate as the only
way to attain an Independent Jew
ish state"

j. S. FLEET TO
Be FETEO IN
NEW YORK

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. IA
The return to home waters of the
first ships of the American armada
sent to Europe to combat the Ger
man sea power will be arked by a
great naval pageant in New York
harbor about Dec. 90.
The fleet will be led by Admiral
Mayo on his flagship, the Penn
sylvania, which accompanied the
president to Europe. In the home
coming fleet will be nine dread
naughts, 20 destroyers, more than
converted yachts, mine plant
gers, submarines and other craft.
Instructions to Admiral Mayo
call for the return of all naval
craft that can be spared. Some
part of the American fleet, how
ever, will remain on the other
side temporarily to complete the
work of carrying out the naval
conditions of the armistice.
Owing to the character of some
of the craft ordered home, no def
mite date for the arrival has been
set, and it is possible that some of
the small ships will not get back
in time for the review.

One hundred volunteers, who

their food and some have been in
oculated with serums, but no cas-
