Speculation Rife
Over His Visit

WASHINGTON. June 2o--London
dispatches today reporting Alexander
Kerensky there and on his way TO the
United States, besides bringing the
first definite information Of the former
Russian dictator's whereabouts since he
was deposed over nine months ago,
opened wide field of speculation on
the purposes of his visit
At Significant Time.
Arriving in London at time when
the entente governments and the United
States are considering as foremost
question how they shall aid Russia to
release herself from the German yoke,
Kerensky's visit is regarded by many
officials and diplomats as having
large possibilities.
Whether his sudden appearance in
London and his coming visit to the
United States have been arranged IN
connection with consideration OF the
Russian situation, does not appear on
the surface
May Be New Plans,
Neither does it appear whether ker-
ensky's plans are all his own or wheth-
er they have been shared by those in
tho United States who are working to
put Russia back into the war on the
aide OF the entente allies.
For some time powerful forces have
been gathering with Russia itself to re-
store order and set 10 government
which the allies will recognize,

AMERICAN NAVAL BASE, France.
Oct. 22.-Correspondence OF the AS
ISOLATED Press.-American destroyers
aided by French and British vessels
are battling with the enemy subma.
rines day and night to keep open the
lane through which American troop
ships are bringing the great army OF
American soldiers to France. Hardly
day has passed during the last
month in which the American naval
convoy fleet has not had an encounter
with submarine foe lurking near the
Bay of Biscay, beyond the waters OF
Spain and Portugal. August was the
month of greatest danger and greatest
vigilance for the number of American
troops coming to France reached its
maximum in that month.
Because of the unceasing watch,
never ending readiness to pounce up
on the German submarines and the
gallantry of the men on board the
American and other destroyers, the
shipping losses have been confined al
most exclusively to freight vessels.
The steady arrival of American
troops hascprogressed uninterruptedly
throughout the period of chief me-
mace. Most of the vessels successful-
ly attacked by submarines have been
outward bound from French ports.
Ten American destroyers took part
in one of the most successful subma-
rine hunts on Aug. 8. They were
heading south in column when the
leading destroyer sighted periscope
to her port bow and at 500 yards and
gave chase The submarine submerg-
ed but the destroyer steamed ahead
of her and dropped two depth bombs
in her path and then let go fourteen
charges in a circle. Suddenly the bow
of the submarine emerged and be
came the target for the shells of the
! destroyer. AS the submarine again
submerged, apparently helpless, the
destroyer passed directly over her

and dropped two charges directly on
her at depth OF twenty feet. Moth
ing further was seen of the German
submarine and 1t Is believed his craft
was destroyed.
Another encounter followed a sub
marine attack on big American re-
pair ship entering port here. The
submarines torpedo, fired at close
range, just missed the rudder OF the
American vessel. An American de-
stroyer dashed to the attack and
dropped a barrage Of depth charges.
A streak of oil came to the surface In
dicating the submarine was following
zig-zag course Another destroyer
and several submarine chasers Joined
in the hunt, dropping depth charges
on oil patches along the route. 1t Is
believed the submarine was damaged
and that several days later 1t was de-
stroyed by depth charge.
Unusual activity was displayed by
the submarines in the Bay OF Biscay
for two days on August Is and 16.
One American destroyer reported that
she had destroyed or damaged large
enemy submarine on the 18th. But
the same day three American freigh-
tiers were attacked and two OF them,
the Montanan and the Cubore were
sunk.
More than $50 of the crew OF the
French cruiser Dupet Thouars were
rescued by American destroyers when
she was torpedoed on August 8. elicit
ing a note Of thanks from French nav
al authorities to the American naval
commander. Highest tribute was paid
by the American naval commander In
France to American, French and Brit
ish destroyers, which managed to
bring into port the American freight
steamer Westward, after she had
been torpedoed, thus saving an ex-
tremely valuable cargo of airplanes,
field artillery, rifles, machine guns
and ammunition.
