blatant braggart in history at face value.
Germany had succeeded, in fact, In per-
suading large proportion of the civil

leader in philosophical thought, scientific
discovery and mechanical invention.

TT was happy choice which placed Ad-
Il miral Sims in command OF that
branch of Amarica's fighting forcss which
is engaged with the British navy in guard
ing the seas. For it was Admiral Sims
who was severely criticised when, in 1910,
he declared at banquet at the London
Guildhall: eff the time ever comes when
the British Empire is seriously menaced
by an external enemy, it is my opinion
that you may count upon every man,
every dollar and every drop Of blood Of
your kindred across the seas" Prophetic
words!
Of the part the American navy has
played so far in the game little has been
made known. A victory or a skirmish on
land is cabled over the same day, but on
the seas-especially where submarine war
fare is concerned-a policy Of silence has
been usually maintained, not only for the
obvious reason Of keeping information re-
garding the size, quality, personnel and
disposition of our naval forces from the
enemy, but for the effect upon the morale
of the crews of the undersea boats.
Now, for the first time, with the APP
proval and the active cooperation Of the
authorities, the tale of Americas naval
participation in the great struggle is told.
In sturdy volume called The Fighting
Fleets. with seventy-two Photographic
Illustrations, Ralph D. Paine gives the
story at first hand Mr. Paine lived and
worked with the American naval forces,
spent weeks on destroyers, went under the
North Sea in a submarine and over it in
a seaplane, and played the deadly game of
mine sweeping aboard trawler.
The public is only beginning TO realize
what the navy has accomplished. The
Navy Department, in the early days of the
war, came in for a good deal of criticism.
"ro Secretary Daniels" Mr.. Paine tells
us. at has been a matter for good humored
surprise that he has ceased to be the tar
get for ridicule and hostile criticism
When recently asked how it felt to be
patted on the back, instead of lodging
bricks, he replied:
"'Well, if the people should say nice
things about me from now until the day
of my death it wouldn't raise my batting
average above .175.'" ... mi

He tells of the erection of steel and
concrete refrigerating plant, with ma
chinery for making its own ice and with
a storage capacity to provide meat for a
million men for thirty days He tells of
the work of charging the French har-
borS, without which it would have been
impossible to handle the tonnage neces-
sary TO support the armies. He describes
the building Of bridges, the construction
of railroads, the modifying of economic
forces on an epic scale never before
known. He shows the marvellous ability
of the American to achieve wonders on
the practical side of war, since the Amer
lean is practical idealiSt.
Under the American system every
soldier, on coming out of the trenches,
will receive new outfit from head TO
foot This the General who informed
me said, is our way of solving the lice
problem"
Dawson discusses the labor saving de-
vices that are used to the fullest possible
extent by America. Knock down ma
chincry and houses are taken across the
Atlantic and need only to be put together
in France The standardization of pack
ages, for one thing. has greatly aided
transportation.
"The dimensions of the luggage of
the modern army can be dimiy realized
when it is stated that the American ar
mics initially require 24,000,000 square
feet of covered and Al 100000 square feet
OF unroofed storage-not to mention the
barrack space"
All these astonishing statistics go TO
show that America is in the war 10 win.
Berlin papers please copy. Those who
have read Coningsby Dawson's other
books will not need 10 be told that his
style has both energy and beauty and
that its effectiveness is due to combina-
ton of intelligence and sympathetic SIN
cerity.

fare, the lions share of fighting has fallen
to the destroyer Immediately following
President Wilson'S proclamation Of the
existence of state Of war Admiral Sims
cabled to Washington to "send destroyers
at once, as many as possible to which
the Navy Department responded unhes'-
tatingly, and within an incredibly short
time ''the first division filed into port
of the Irish Sea, and smartly picked up
the mooring buoys assigned to them. The
Stars and Stripes whipped from theIr
signal masts and the tunnels were white

pairs, the British Vice-Admiral who ruled
these waters asked.

part in the hard and hazardous business

Mr. Paine, as an eyewitness to the hard
ships encountered and TO individual acts
of heroism, has set forth. Tragic hap
penings are so interviewer with humor
Gus incidents that ones admiration for the
spirit displayed by American seamen IS
extended TO the author for serving up the
big story in such an entertaining manner.
The American battlesbips, Mr.. Paine
tells u.s." eager for active service and re-
luctant to be held in reserve, were given
the position of honor whenever they ma
nnuvred with British divisions al sea or
cruised in search of the enemy. 1t was no
