The American Battleship
Squadron in The War

The work done during the war by
the American Battleship Squadron
has been wildly pictured by Rear
Admiral Hugh Rodman, who COM
manded the American Battleship
Squadron OF the Grand Fleet This
great squadron, composed Of the New
York, Texas, Nevada, Wyoming,
Arkansas and Florida, formed one Of
the fast wings OF the British Fleet.
Only a few months ago the Anglo
American fleet just barely missed its
long desired chance to have action
with the Germans. The Allied ships
were within few miles Of cutting
the High Seas Fleet of from Its base,
but as usual the Germans ran back to
their hiding place. On another oc-
casion q submarine almost sent the
New York to the bottom, missing 1t
by q hairs breadth. And once again
a flotilla of submarines fired three
torpedoes at Admiral RodmAn's
flagship.
Every inducement WAS offered the
Germans to come out. Valuable con-
voys were sent out rs bait, sppsr-
emily unprotected, but all efforts
along that line failed. Admiral Rod
man states:
ut was our policy to go after him
every time he showed his nose out
side OF his ports; no matter when or
where. whether in single ships, BY
divisions, or In his whole force, out
we went, day or night, rain or shine
land there was mighty little daylight
and much less sunshine In the winter
months), blow high or blow low. and
chased him back In his hole. So per-
sistent was this performance on our
part, SO sure we were to get after him,
that toward the end he rarely ven-
tured more than few miles from his
base; and Immediately we would
start after him, back he would go In
his hole. and haul his hole In after
him." The Admiral told Of the ram
ming OF the New York by subma-
rine, which there Is every reason to
believe was sunk by blows from tho
propellers OF the battleship. In .
badly damaged condition the Now
York WAS making her way TO port
when other submarines fired three
torpedoes at her. The a merican ships
were attacked once while supporting
q convoy OF thirty vessels of the
coast of Norway, six torpedoes being
fired at the battleships.
After four years Of war came the
great debscle. Stripped Of all power
to fight, guns trained fore and aft,
breech blocks and fire control instru-
ments removed, war heads sent
ashore and with every offensive util-
ity rendered innocuous, the Germans
surrendered to n Fleet manned by
those who had for SO long waited for
"a real naval battle--far from satisfied
by the mere formality OF q surrender.

and the little fellow remembered It.
ind Joe was his ideal Of hero. As to
Benny's wondrOusly lovely sister, when
Joe had undone the gift parcel he care
fully slowed the bit Of ribbon In an
inner pocket as a cherished memento.
Then when he reached home he got n
ty feet up above the front door. for
It was too bulky and cumbersome to
match his QUOT set.
ut may be my good luck in helping
me to get better acquainted with Ben
ny's sweet sister, Marie" whispered
Joe fervently to himself.
Joe Bangs was an important and
useful element In the business economy
Of the little town. Merton was twenty
miles awny from the railroad and de-
pended on Butterville for supplies.
Three days a week Joe drove to that
Interior city to bring to Merton freight
nnd express and I'LL orders for local
storekeepers. he was trusty. prompt
md reliable. as well as always cheer
full and accommodating. and everybody
was his friend.
Little Benny came over to see Quoit
game played with his present and was
much disappointed to discover that It
had been otherwise employed. Joe
soon contented his Juvenile favorite,
however, by imparting to him the In.
