AMERICAN FLEE!
DOING Big WORK
Secretary of the Navy Daniels
Says Over $50 Ships in
War Zone.
FIGURES HITHERTO GUARDED
Thirty-Five Thousand Men Are Act
uaIly Engaged in Fighting German
Submarines, and Have Inflicted
Heavy Losses, He Declares.

Cleveland, O., April "a great meet
of American warships numbering
more than 100 vessels and including
in addition to the far-famed destroy
ers, battleships, cruisers, submarines
gunboats, coast guard cutters, CON
verted yachts, tugs and other auxil-
aries, is operating in the war zone.
Manning this fleet and the many
small submarine chasers, which are
not reckoned in the total, and doing
duty on air patrol and at the supply
stations ashore, are $4,000 officers ana
men, half the navy's personnel when
the nation entered the war just year
ago.
These hitherto carefully guarded
facts were disclosed here by Secretary
Daniels IN an address at celebration
making the opening of the third LIB
erty loan campaign.
Mr.. Daniels said that, while he was
not at liberty to tell the toll the fleet
has taken of German submarines. the
nation could rest assured that our
forces have inflicted heavy losses upon
the enemy.
"As an instance of naval activity"
said the secretary. 81 may cite the
work of one detachment Of destroy
ers for a six-months period: Total
miles steamed in war areas. l.O00OOO
submarines attacked. 81; single yes
sells escorted, TIT: conveys escorted,
Sc; total number of days at sea-
5000.
The navy has furnished every aid
possible that the countries aligned
with us in the war have requested or
suggested, and has worked In the
closest cooperation with them. Our
forces have played an important part
in the war against the submarines,
and have aided materially In the
marked reductions in sinkings OF
merchantmen, as compared with the
number sunk In the corresponding
period year ago, and in the no
less notable increase In the number
of submarines destroyed.
"The navy has made a record of
which we may well be proud" de-
clared Mr. Daniels. "but much more
must be done. Ours has been a mod
est accomplishment in comparison
with the achievements Of our allies,
but our contribution has been con
siderable and is rapidly increasing"

plored the incident, both because of
the effect in this country and also be-
cause it is feared reprisals may be
made in Germany on Americans.
Until power is given the federal gov
eminent. as provided in a pending BILL
to punish persons making disloyal ut
terances, department Of justice officials
fear more lynchings.
This outbreak was the first report
reaching here of such extreme mob
violence to German, although officials
who have observed the general feel
ing against Germans have feared such
occurrences.
Springfield, H., April SIN state
ment Governor Lowden declared he
would use the force of his Office to see
that persons guilty of the lynching were
brought TO punishment. To this end
representatives of the office of the at
torney general and the adjutant gen
eral We're dispatched TO the scene Of
the mob violence.
If the regularly constituted peace Of
