This may account for the unpopu-

are couple OF expensive blue

Work Of Destroyer.
Turning now to your destroyers,
know that you all appreciate what de-
mands the present conditions Of sea
warfare impose upon this type of craft.
Day and night, winter and summer,
they scour the seas, either hunting the
submarine or keeping careful watch
over the valuable human lives, equip
ment and transports intrusted to their
care to escort. have both Travelled
in and been escorted by American de-
stroyers, and know their high stand
ard. They are an essential part of the
fighting strength of the fleet, and, to-
gether with the cruisers, they are the
watchdogs of the allied trade and
the terror of the U-boat.
1t will convey some idea of the
strain imposed upon the vessels and
their crews when tell you that each
American destroyer in European wa
tiers steams between 1000 and 5000
miles month. For hard work, con-
slant vigilance, and perpetual discom-
fort this record is hard to beat even
in this great war Of universal strain
and hardship.
What I have said of the destroyers
applies in no less degree to your sub
marines and your chasers. Their un-
firing and constant harassing Of the
enemy has helped to bring the enemy
submarine to it's present position in

now held, though not vet mastered.
