States naval ships abroad with 5000
officers and 10000 enlisted men, or a
greater force than the total strength
OF the navy when war was declared
while the American fighting craft had
steamed an average Of $4,000 miles
per month In the war zone. This did
not include the cruisers and battle
ships ON escort duty. OF the first do
stroyers to 60 over the Porter steamed
6A473 miles, the Conyngham b3,s52
and the Davis 63,015.
The major naval operation OF the
war so far as the United States is con-
oerned is given as the conveying OF
more than 100000 troops to Europe
without the loss by enemy action Of a
single eastbound transport. This &C.
complainant, the report says, will
stand as q monument to both the army
ana the navy as the greatest and most
difficult troop transporting effort
which has ever been conducted across
seas.
Up to November 1, II Is shown, s24,-
SIS troops had been carried to Franco
in American transports under Ameri-
can convoy. with no losses outward
bound and only three vessels sunk on
the road home. From November /
to the date Of the report, there had
been 2ss additional sailings Of Ameri-
can troop and supply ships. the aver
age being about one ship every Eve
hours.
The report describes the laying of
the North Sea mine barrage, wholly
an American enterprise. While there
Is no way OF ascertaining definitely
what that $50 mile barrier did to en-
| envy submarines. Mr.. Daniels says
there 10 reason to believe that ten u
boats had ended their career at the
barrage before the middle of October. i"
Tho 14-inch Naval Batteries.
The building and manning Of the
fourteen inch rifle naval batteries
working with the armies in France is
also described. There have been no
equals in the fighting of these highly
mobile weapons. with a range Of thirty
miles. the report says, adding:
Briefly. the American navy has de-
signed, built and is now manning with
bluejackets specially trained for land
service the largest and most high pow
cred mobile land artillery In the
world. So successful have these guns
been that additional orders for many
more were requested before the armis-
tice."
The depth bomb has proved the
most effective means OF combating
the submarine, the report states, and
1t shows that American enterprise
was responsible for very largely in
creasing that effectiveness. The early
fifty pound charge bombs were crude
and Of low destructive force compared
to the 300 pound and 600 pound
charges now being produced. Many
allied ships have been equipped with
these American improvements.
Another ordnance development that
is noted is the perfection of sixteen
inch rifles for all new battleships. They
will make these vessels 1t is said, the
heaviest armed craft in the world, with
broadside projectile weight Of 25,200
pounds against 1880 pounds for the
Pennsylvania, the biggest and most
powerful craft now in commission.
The report emphasizes also the
record of small arms training during
the year. 100000 rounds having been
fired without an accident due to care
lsssness. Since last July the navy has
qualified 64147 marksmen, 23,222

Labor has shown itself loyal. the re-
port continues. and worknen at the
yards have many times refused to
leave vital employment there for better
pay elsewhere. In addition, when re-
lations between capital and labor ap-
peared to have reached critical stages
at times during the rush OF war work,
the trades at the navy yards addressed
resolutions to the Department $50
clearly defining their belief that the
duty of all loyal American worlSmen
lay in securing maximum production
without regard to selfish considera-
lions OF personal betterment as to have
no slight effect in bringing both sides
, In controversies going on outside the
yards to a realization OF the need Of
forgetting their disputes"
A Word for George Creel.
The Secretary holds much Of this
satisfactory condition to have been due
to the loyal cooperation of the heads
OF the American Federation of Labor"
Mr.. Daniels expresses appreciation
Of the work done by George Creel.
chairman OF the Committee on Public
Information. and has this to say Of
the American press:
"Ths most intimate relationship be-
tween Mr.. Creel and the Department
has been productive OF genuine CO.
| operation in a service that was new in
our country and not easy to carry out
successfully. The spirit Of the press,
which periodically responded to the
appeal for voluntary censorship, can
not be too highly commended. There
was full freedom of the press, with full
recognition by the press of the Gov
ernments desire to withhold no in
formation that did not disclose mill
tary secrets The press had an ap-
probation of this necessity. and. though
having knowledge of movements of
ships and troops and other military
operations, never violated confidence.
On the other hand, the press gave
helpful suggestions which were in
valuable to Mr.. Creel and the Depart
ment."
The report shows clearly that Mr..
Daniels has no intention OF proposing
an adoption of the naval general staff
suggestions that have been made. He
hhoS tiO navy Ol6hihbtliOH has
stood the strain OF war without falter-
ing, and says:
For years there was a persistent
and insistent demand on the part of a
small element of the navy and some
we'll meaning citizens interesting
themselves in naval matters for a naval
organization labelled General STAIR of
the made in Germany pattern. This
pattern has not worn we'll, and it is
| observed that the made in America
pattern OF the United States Navy
seems to be appreciated now not only
in America but in some OF the nations
associated with us.
1.-THE teamwork has extended from
the Secretary's office to the deck of
the smallest motorboat; from the
ranking Admiral to the lowest recruit.
The men in Washington who have
been responsible for the direction Of
the navy's preparations and naval
operations on every sea and at every
| shore base are the members of the
Advisory Council. created some three
years ago.
During every period Of pre-war
preparation and of prosecution Of the
war, in both personnel and material,
every member of the council has had
one thought and that has been how to
secure the best cooperation and to OBJ
tain the best results"

organize a landing force Of as many
men as 1t can send ashore. with every
man a trained rifleman and many of
them trained machine gunners"
To Capt f. p. Jessop. engineering
officer at the New York Navy Yard,
the report gives credit for having
recommended the revolutionary prac-
tice Of electric welding when repair Of
the damaged German shipping was
undertaken. Careful estimates have
shown that this one innovation saved
twelve months in time and $40, 900, 900
In money, while the ships thus made
quickly available carried half a mil
lion soldiers to France.
Another engineering achievement of
the year is the completion and testing
OF the first electric drive battleship, the
New Mexico. Despite adverse criti-
cism which met the determination to
employ this mechanism on battle craft,
the report says. the New Mexico has
not only met every requirement, but
has passed many additional tests, with
the result that Elm this unique vessel
the United States Navy has a battle
ship which has no peer in the worlds
navies, not only for economic propul-
sion and less liability to serious de-
rangement, but her military superior
ity in greater maneuvring power and
increased underwater protection"
Credit is given Rear Admiral Griffin,
engineer in chief of the navy, for this
accomplishment.
The report shows that four battle
ships, one battle cruiser. two, fuel ships
one transport, one gunboat, one am
munition ship, 223 destroyers, So sub
marines, 112 fabricated patrol boats
tEagles). including IL for the italian
Government; 80 submarine chasers,
including so for France; 81 mine
sweepers and numerous tugs and har-
Dor craft were contracted for during
the year. Up to October l one gun
boat. 90 destroyers. 20 submarines, 26
mine sweepeTs and Eagles had
been launched The additions to the
navy during the year included 2
battleships. 80 destroyers, 20 subma-
rines, 355 submarine chasers and 10
mine sweepers. The actual number of
10 foot chasers now in commission,
including those delivered to France, is
400.
Value for Every Dollar.
Discussing the navy's accounting
system. Secretary Daniels says $1l.-
100000 was saved during the year by
examination Of costs in fixed price
contracts and control over the cost
plus agreements. He commends highly
the work OF Rear Admiral MCGOWAN,
Paymaster-Gener and head of the
supplies and accounts bureau, and ex-
presses the opinion that "the navy has
received and is receiving full value for
every dollar expended"
The report also pays tribute to the
patriotic cooperation the Department
has received from shipbuilders, NUM-
ton manufacturers and the heads of
all the allied industries.
II wish these captains of industry"
Mr.. Daniels says, ito understand the
appreciation of the Navy Department
of their wonderful accomplishment.
And the country should know how
they lacked in nothing Of thought and
effort in naval preparation and naval
efficiency. Not few Of them under
took any work desired with a willing

This reference to the future con-

THE day is not far distant when
the world will witness an end Of COM

ter at Fsmes has fallen into the hands of the allies in their
sweep northward from the Name The mouth of The pocket
from which the princes battered forces are struggling
to nortward to the Vee Asne thus narrowed to
approximately miles.
During the day the allied line has been pushed forward so
that it virtually parallel with the road extending from

sweep since early morning.
The retreat of the princes army has now assumed
the proportions of an absolute rout.
