The determination Of the American

in a letter written by General Pershing
appointing representatives to a Brit

"Ihe gravest responsibility rests on,
those to whom the parents Of our SOL

Is merely a citizen on wal service, we
have all the elements which will force

It is -four years since the battle
squadrons slipped away to their war
station and the British navy became
suddenly one decisive and fixed factor
in an unstable world.
I The supreme al of the navy has
been to make secure on all the seas Of
the world the transportation OF men.
material and food. Between the date
of the declaration; Of war and June
80 last, h needs of the allies have
involved the carriage by sea of some
10000, 900 men, 1000, 600 animals and
about 110,000,000 tons of naval and
military stores, argOe whose vast
ness and diversity have never been
contemplated nor foreseen. The sub
marine war intensified and waxed to
Its greatest violence, yet the great
work of supply and transportation
went forward with never an Interrupt
ton.
The navy, which in August, 1914.
had comprised warships and auxiliary
vessels to a total of $500, 900 displace-
ment tons had swelled by June Of
this year to a sum of $4,000 its
personnel had grown from .146, 900 to
nearly 100000. OF the 10000, 900 men
embarked and transported the total
losses due to enemy action up to April
"a, 1918, had only reached the relative
" trivial figure of 3,282-roughly equal
to one lost for each 5000 carried.
