Orders Indicating Preparations
For Attack Are Picked Up But
Boches Stay In Land
Locked Harbor.
BY CARL .. eRoAT.

E~ IbV00 SIX
Washington, D.. c., June 1.-THE
German fleet Is sending out alarms,
two and three times a week and some
times ~oftener. intending to worry the
American-allied fleet to a belief that
the Teutons are coming put to battle.
With q great clatter of wireless, the
big ships buzz back and forth in their
locked-in harbor. Orders, indicating
preparations for a dash, snap out over
a considerable period. The American
allied fleet picks these up and can
distinguish between the signals of bat
tleships n smaller craft.
These facts developed from an off
cial source today.
The result Of these constant alarms
is to keep the watchers keyed up to
an expectant prepared pitch.
American craft now operating in
European waters will play an Import
ant part If In sea action does
eventually develop. Hindenburg is
understood to be still pressing his coll
leagues to undertake a sea offensive
as the backing for his land efforts. 1t
is recognized that such an attempt by
the German fleet would probably in
dictate a last desperate gamble.
The United States and Britain are
progressing fayorably with anti-sub-
marine work. The confidential list of

possible sinkings on file with the navy
department shows an increasing num-

These ships will give this nation the

A squadron includes SO destroyers.

That a grave situation exists through
lack of men fitted to command In the

Among the statements therein were:
OF h two destroyer squadrons now

squadrons abroad within a year and
haven't q commander for any of them,
making them practically useless for
anything except submarine chasing.
Unless we have five new vice adj
mirals for destroyer n submarine
squadrons by July I, 1919, it will be
utterly impossible to utilize those
forces to good purpose.
Two Divisions Over There.
We have two divisions Of armoured
cruisers without any flag officers at
all, at present. Our cruisers cannot
operate as a scouting force because
of this lack.
If the officer in charge OF Panama
canal defenses should be called to
sea, the land defenses would be left
with no capable commander.
The increase to 131,485 will help, but
it is much less than Jul require
ments," h letter states.
T~hirty-three rear admirals are abb
solutely needed by next June, but the
bill provides for only 10, it is stated.
Important shore billets are occupied
in danger Of breaking under the strain
of their increased duties.
Every active officer, except one, who
is sick, is now employed, although it
might be that under a severe test,
some officers would be found wanting.
Can't Replace Unfit Men. ~
In such contingency the navy would
have no n to replace the mar who
had been found so inefficient.
Safety demands a reserve Of at
least FIVE per cent If we are to be
ready even in part to meet the casual

Palmer's letter recommends that or

districts, declaring the presence of
submarines on. this coast emphasized
the need for such organization.
fortunately we have real Admirals
in command Of some Of these districts
but there are others for which we have
no rear admirals," Palmer wrote.
The Ninth district, containing the
Great Lakes training station is one of
these, a captain being required to be
in Chicago and at the meeting station,
40 mile away at the same time.
