LONDON, July 3.-Success does
not crown every American effort at
sea. but that does not deter United
States naval cOntingents from con-
tinuing their work in high spirit and
with determination. The enemy
scores occasionally. but the Ameri-
can motto is to make him pay dearly
for his success, no matter how
trivial.
When mishap overtakes any unit
more energy and daring is unleash
ed by other units TO even up the
score.
Emphasize Needs.
occasional failures only emphasize
the needs of additional units Of
American aviatOrs seaplanes, de
stroyers and submarines in Euro
pean and Atlantic waters, the need
of additional Americans going into
such branches of the service. and the
need Of keeping naval contingents,
supplied both in men and material,
to an ever increasing level.
Among mishaps 10 American units
officially recorded at the United
States naval headquarters here is
the case of Ensign Roe. aviator,
who was attacked by three German
seaplanes on the North sea. His
fate is unknown. He was last seen
in the vicinity Of some enemy de
stroyers and it is believed that he
was taken prisoner.
The last word from Ensign Roe
was brought TO a naval base by a
carrier pigeon. the message reading:
"On water; attacked by three
Huns"
On Reconnaissance Flight.
Roe and a British aviator started
from an English coast base for a
long reconnaissance flight Roe's
engine was giving trouble. so he
alighted on the water to make an
adjustment He signalled 10 his
comrade that he would nave his en-
CINE working soon and the British
aviator proceeded. Shortly the Enl-
lishman came upon two German
seaplanes and accepted battle. driy-
ing them both in the direction OF
the German coast He then at
tempted 70 locate Roe. but his gaso-
line supply was low and he could
make only a brief search which was
futile.
A few hours after the British air
man reached his base the pigeon ar
rived with the message from the
American.
