Daniels Note
to Ceddes Is
Made Public

London, May 13.-Letters ex-
changed between Josephus Daniels,
American secretary of the navy, and
Sir Eric Geddes. first lord of the
British admiralty, were made pub
lie today by the British admiralty.
Secretary Daniels wrote:
Your reference TO the splendid
spirit of cooperation between the
navies of our countries and your
warm praise of the officers and men
of our navy have been most CRATE
full to me and to all Americans.
The brightest spot in the tragedy
of this great war is the mutual ap-
probation of the men in the naval
service.
Our officers who have returned
confirm the statements of Admiral
Sims commander inl chief of the
American naval forces in British
watersI of the courtesies and kind
nesses shown in every way by the
admiralty and the officers of the
British feet
Il had hoped TO have the pleasure
Of visiting Great Britain and OF
personally expressing this feeling
OF mutual working together. but the
task here OF making ready more and
more units for the fleet is a very
serious one and my duty chains me
here.
The order in all the navy Is full
speed ahead in the construction OF
destroyers and other craft, and the
whole service is keyed up TO press
this program forward. Therefore
| shall not have the pleasure, until
this program shall materialiZe of a
personal acquaintance and a con-
ference which would be of such in
terest and value"
Sir Eric Geddes replied;
p Il am exceedingly grateful for
your letter, AS you know we, all
of us here. have great admiration
for your officers and men and for
the splendid help they are giving in
European waters. Further, we find
Admiral Sims invaluable in coun-
sci and in cooperation,
Il fully appreciate how onerous
your office must be at the present
time, and much though | regret that
you co not see your way clear to
visiting this country in the near fu-
ture. l hope We may some day have
the pleasure OF welcoming you
here"

THREE men DIE
IN MISSISSIPPI

into Water When Graft Hits
ROck-TriO Saved.

Dubuque, Iowa, May I3.-Three
men were drowned in the Missis-
sipp. river a mile south of here
late last Hight when launch bound
upstream and carry SIX men struck
rick or some other obstruction in
the channel and sank almost i'm
mediately.
The dead are: Joseph Hallahan,
Raymond 4. SchrOmen and Albert
J Hird
The three other passegers on the
launch were saved. Two, Carl Hird
and John O'Rourke, made their way
to shore in safety, while the other,
Raphael E Spear, was picked out
of the water by a fisherman who
answered his cries for help. Spear
had been swimming for several
minutes and was about to go down
when rescued.
The party was returning from a
trip to Pearl island, where they
spent the day at a cottage The
launch, il is said. was loaded with
furniture and other paraphernalia.
No trace of the craft has been dis
covered so far.
O'Rourke, one of the men saved,
said that the boat struck something
solid and it appeared that several
deck planks were torn up by the
impact. The launch settled quick
ly. he said. and in a few moments
he was waist deep in water. In the
darkness he could not tell what
happened to the rest of the party.
An all night search failed TO find
any of the bodies.

steamers and 7SS French sailing
vessels passed through the danger
zone where a few months ago losses
by torpedoing had been very heavy.
Situation Favorable.
THE situation is most favorable" ,"
the minister said. but it does not
authorize the slackening of effort.
Rather it is necessary TO redOuble
it as the enemy has put new sub
marines into service md is trying
fresh offensive in which he plays
for his last stake.
THE sea front has no COM
munique The country does not
know the terrible life there when
great events occur. Yet it is there
and there is being played one of the
parts which has the greatest in
f1uence on the duration and issue
of the war The country knows
that mastery of the sea IS the GER
tain gauge of victory. 1t should
know also that the mastery be-
longs to the allies who have won it
and who keep it thanks to the hero
ism of the sailors who are worthy
of the soldier brothers"
