America who dreams that we will ac-

S. Wise. =
"The Kaiser made war. He shall not

plunged the world into a sea Of misery
he has won the war
Germany may choose either mill
tary defeat or such political disaster
to the government that made and
waged foulest war for four years as
shall compel unconditional surrender.
To spare Germany now the moral
humiliation of unequivocal and uncon-
ditional surrender when disaster i'm
pends for her armies is to barter away
the immediate jewel of our national
soul and to sever the noblest use Of
our land and of all the Allied lands

WASHINGTON. Oct. 12.-Ano1her
treat effort by Germany's submarines
is impending.
Sir Eric Geddes, First Lord of the
British Admiralty, in statement to-
night paying tribute to the part played
in the war by the American navy, dis
closed that plans Of the enemy for
what may be the final intensified u
boat campaign of ruthlessness are
known and that the Allies are prepared
to meet it.
No details were given by Sir Eric,
nor was further information to be OBJ
tanned at the Navy Department as to
what the American and Allied naval
chiefs have learned. There were sug-
gestions that Germany, in the midst
of peace offensive and with her SOL
diers being driven back to their own
borders. hoped to strengthen her diplo-
matte drive for peace by negotiation
By sending her submarines on a des-
perate campaign Of destruction, re-
gsrdess of measures of caution here
tofore taken for the safety of U-boats
and their crews.
Allies Know of Campaign
Warm praise was given by the Brit
ish First Admiralty Lord to the Amer
ican naval units of all classes, includ-
ing the air contingents, operating in
the war zone. 1t was after a descrip-
ton of work done by the destroyers
that he said:
What have said of the destroyers
applies in no less degree to your sub
marines and your chasers. Their un-
tirinS and constant harassing of the
enemy has helped to bring the enemy
submarine TO its present position. in
which we can confidently say that it
is now held. though not yet mastered.

with the great advantage of having

course of the last eighteen months, and
can assure the public that the morale
and efficiency are absolutely on the top
line.
your battleships are working with
our own Grand Fleet with the most uer-
feet coordination and efficiency. Your
cruisers are working with US in the
White Sea, North Sea, Atlantic and
Mediterranean, and have seen them
and admired their efficiency in all these
places. 1t is to them, as we'll as to the
gallant little destroyers. working with
the corresponding forces of all the
Allies. that the success Of the CONVOY
system is due.
Convoy System Gets Credit
ut is the convoy system which
baked Germany when she adopted
avowedly the inhuman and ruthless
method of submarine warfare consid-
cred inconceivable and contrary to all
the noble traditions Of the sea before
the war, but which we now accept as
one of the outward signs Of the devil
which has to be exercised before Ger
many is fit to take her place as an hon
orable member of the league Of ma
tions, in whatever form that oft-dis-
cussed organization may finally shape
itself.
Germany reckoned to end the war
last year by cutting the sea commune
cations Of the alliance and by the re-
duction in tonnage; the dissatisfaction
of the German nation with the result
Of their criminal effort is due in very
great measure to the convoy system,
but it is due also to the Allied efforts
to trap and hunt the submarine on pas
sage and to harass it on station.
"At the present moment the United
States and Great Britain have become
the main bases Of supply for the armies
in Europe, and in order to insure these
lines of communication being safe
guarded and kept open, very efficient
naval protection Is required.
Wide Range Of Activity
@The large proportion Of merchant
shipping which brings these supplies
must necessarily be American and
British, and consequently the Anglo
American zone Of naval operations
which may be considered to include the
Atlantic, North Sea and British coastal
waters-iz, therefore, the area with
which We are most vitality concerned,
though, Of course, the American and
