THE VICTORY AT SEA II

conveyed The work of the British
navy was far greater than ours.
Yet the effort which we contributed
was Indispensable TO the success that
was attained. For. judging from
the situation before we entered the
war. and knowing the inadeauacy OF
the total allied anti ubmarine forces
even after we had entered. IL seems
hardly possible that, without the as
sistance of the United States Navy.
the vital lines Of communication OF
the armies in the field could have
been kept open. the civil populations
OF Great Britain supplied with food.
and men and war materials sent from
America to the western front In
other words. l think l am justified
in saying that without the co-opera- :
tion Of the American Nav" the al
lies could not have won the war,
Our forces stationed at Queenstown
actually escorted through the danger
zone about 40 per cent Of adj the
cargoes which left North American
ports. When l describe the move
ment of American troops. it will ap-
pear that our destroyers located at
Queenstown and Erest did even a
larger share of this work. The latest
reports show that about 2O5 German
submarines were destroyed. OF these
it seems probable that thirteen eau
be credited to American efforts. the
rest to Great Britain. France and
ItaIy-the greatest number. of course.
to Great Britain. When we take into
consideration the few ships that
We had on the other side. compared
with those of the allies. and the COM
paratively brief period in which we
were engaged in the war. this must
be regarded as a highly creditabie

regret that 1 have not been able to
describe the work Of all of our officers
and men: TO do this. however. would
demand more IT, II single volume.
One OF the disa pointing aspects of de-
str0ycr work 2s that many OF the
finest performances were those that
were the least spectacular. The mere
fact that an attack upon q submarine
did not result in sinking hardly rob-
bed ii of its Importance many OF the
finest exploits Of our forces did not de-
stroy the enemy, but they will always
hold place in our naval annals for the
daring and skill with which they were
conducted. In this class belong the
achievements OF the Stcrrett. under
Lieut.. Commander Farquhar: Of the
Biakeley; OF the Parker. under Lieut..
Commander H. Powell: Of the Jacob
Jones, under Lieut. Commander u. W.
Eagiey; Of the Wadsworth. under Lieut..
Commander Tanssig. and afterward 1.

strOyer couemander at Queenstown was
Commander David c. Hanrahan OF the
Gushing. a Ane character and one Of
the mcst experienced officers of his
rank in the Navy. He was q tower Of
strength at ali times. l will have 0c-
casion to mention him later in connec-
tielSwith certain eiasportAnt duties. The
chief Of 'staM at Queenstewn, Capt. j.
Rs pr. PffnEie, was ssaecially com-
smended by Admiral ':Bsyiv for his
tact. energy and ability" The Ameri-
can naval forces at Queenstown were
under my immediate command. Nee
essarily. however. had to spend the
greater part Of my time at the Lon
don headquarters. or at the naval
council in Paris. and it was there
fore necessary that should be rep
resented at Queenstown by u man
OF marked ability. Capt Prinsle proved
equal to every emergency. He was re-
spOnstble for the administration. sup
plies and maintenance OF the Queens
town forceA. and the state OF readiness
and efficiency in which they were con-
stantly maintained was the strongest
possible evidence Of his ability. To him
was chiefly due also the fact that our
men cO-Operated % tremendously and
successfully with the British.
AS an example of the impression
which our work made can do no bet
ter than to quote the message sent by
Admiral Sir Lewis Bayly to the Queens
town forces On May 1. lS1S:
''On the anniversary Of the arrival
of the hrst United States men of war
at Queenstown. wish to express my
deep gratitude to the United States
officers and ratings for the skin, energy
and unfailins good-nature which they
have all consistently shown and which
qualities have 30 materially assisted
in the war by enabling ships Of the
allied powers to cross the ocean in COM
parative freedom.

work with you is a pleasure. to know
you is to know the best traits OF the

and the iron per cent.
Work on the lease was started only
ten months ago and has progressed
rapidly. The ore was first indicated
