waters have been continually aug
mented. The efficient patrol main
tanned by the Allied naves, the policy
OF conveying ships, and the arming of
merchantmen have resulted in a
marked decrease in the number Of ves-
sells sunk and o decided increase in the
destruction Of enemy U-boats.
Upon the navy devolved the task Of
organizing and operating the large
transport system required to carry our
troops overseas for European service.
Within month after the President
had announced that United States
troops would be sent to Europe the
first contingent had been organized
and all its units were safely landed in
France before the Fourth of July
These included force Of Marines un-
der Colonel (now Brigadier GeneraD
Charles A. Doyen. which is serving in
the army under General Pershing.
Since that time a constant stream of
troops and supplies has poured across
the Atlantic. In spite of attacks by
submarines, not a single American
transport has been sunk on the way to
France One, the Antilles, was sunk re-
turning. One, the Finland, was torpe-
doed, but reached port under her own
steam. The Tuscania was British
transport carrying American troops.
In spite of the difficult and danger

engaged but two naval vessels have
been sunk by enemy U-boats-the de-
stroyer Jacob Jones, torpedoed Decem-
Der 6, and the patrol vessel Alcedo, :.

was sunk in collision with British
transport. The Cassin was torpcdoed,
but reached port under her own steam.
was repaired, and returned to service.
The taking over of some 800 craft
OF various kinds and their conversion
into the types needed have provided US
with the large number of vessels re-
quired for transports, patrol service,
submarine chasers, mine sweepers,
mine layers, tugs and other auxil-
iaries. The repair of the 100 interned
German .ships whose machinery had
been damaged by their crews added
more than 100000 tons to our avail
able naval and merchant tonnage and
provided for the navy number of
huge transports which have been III
service for nearly half a year. Hun
dreds Of submarine chasers have been
built and a number of destroyers and
other craft completed and put into
service. There are now four times as
many vessels in the naval service as
there were year ago.

NAVAL COMMUNICATION
SERVICE

TE~HE President ON April C, 1917, di-
4 rected the Navy Department to take
over. such radio stations as might be
required for naval communications, all
others being closed. The enforcement
Of this order fell to the director of
naval communications, and fifty-threc
commercial radio stations were taken
into the naval communication service
On account Of duplication, twenty light t
commercial radio stations were closed.
Thousands Of small amateur radio sta
tons were closed. At present no radio

partment
Soon after the war opened the de-
mand for radio operators increased
and the representative of the naval
communication service in each district
began the conduct of a radio school for
preliminary training in radio teleg-
raphy. To coordinate training, a CEN
trail final training school was de-
manded.
