A War for Amateurs.
In opening his address to the ofiv
GERS, Mr.. Wilson said:
Admiral Mayo and gentlemen: I1
pense to- mase a speech, but l have
come hercs to have a look at you and
to say. some things that perhaps may
be intimately said and. even though
the company is large, said in conf
dence. :
This is an unprecedented war,
and. therefore, 1t is az war in one
n for amateurs. Nobody ever be-
fore conducted a war like this and
therefore nobody can pretend to be a
professional i'm a war like this. Here
are two great navies, not to speak
of the others associated with us-our
own and the British. outnumbering
by a very great margin the navy to
which we are opposed and yet cast
ing about for a way in which to use
our superiority and our strength.
Now. somebody has got to think
this war out. Somebody has got to
think out h way not only to fight
the submarine but do something from
what we are doing. F..
I'VE are hunting hornets all over
the farm and letting the nest alone.
None of US know how to go to the
nest apd crnsh it,-and yet I despair
sea when I know where. the nest is
and know that the nest is breeding
hornets as fast as l anNfind them.

h stuff you are mad OIL am will
ing to sacrifice half the navy Great
Britain and we together have Z to-
crush the nest, because If we crush
it the war is won. I have come here
to- say that I do not ARE where it
comes from, I do not care whether it
comes from the youngest officer or,
this navy to have the distinction of
saying how this war is going TO be
w6n.N
Il am willing to make n sacri-
flee for that. I am ready to put my
self at the disposal of any officer in
the navy who thinks he knows how
to run this war. I will not under
take to tell you whether he does or
not, because I Know that I do not, but
l will undertake to put him in COM
munication with those who can find
out whether his idea will work or not.
I have the authority to do that and
I will do it with the greatest pleas
ure. E,I
"As I have said, gentlemen, I take
it for granted thar nothing that I say
here will be repeated and therefore
! we have suggested anything to the
British admiralty the reply has come
back that virtually amounted tt this:
that tt-has never been done that way,
and I felt like saying well. nothing
was ever done so. systematically as
nothing is being dong now There
fore, 1 should, like to see something
unusual happen,-something that was
never done before; and i'd. inasmuch as
