steamed through the choppy North

The clash between those two

was the most notable naval bat

that Britain won the battle of

opposite was Won Seheer. the Ger

naval construction and tactics was
learned the night of May 81. 1916.
The German fleet was substan-
TALLY lighter and smaller than the
British. which included 81 capital
ships, eight armoged cruisers. IS
light destroyers and 80 flotilla
leaders and deStroyers. The Ger
mans entered the ring with 81
capital ships, II light cruisers and
63 flotllla leaders and destroyers.
When dawn broke over the cold
sea after night of bloody en-
counter, the casualties stood:
British, 6274 lives and IA war
ships; German, 2545 lives, II

Il her two sister ships, Mr.. Mar
tin was aware that he had taken
on the most difficult Job of %
years experience. Experts had
long been convinced that large
planes we're enthusiastically in
efficient load carriers, that the
larger the empty weight of the
plane the smaller the proportion
of that weight which could be car
ried in fuel and commercial load.
Some of the tranS-oceanic fliers
of the '20s had carried as much
useful weight in their small planes
as the planes themselves had
weighed, but the experts said
that no big ship could ever do this,
and they proved it mathemat-
icallv.
Nevertheless. Mr.. Martin sel

favor was the fact that they
would have engines more power

of any previous flying boat: more
efficient propellers; materials
stronger and lighter than those
which had gone into earlier
planes.

perts in opposition had overlooked
was the possibility of turning size
from a liability into an asset by
making every part of the Struc-
ture carry some part of the load.

 Gen. Liggett commanded the first American Army Corps to take its place in the fighting lines, the sector being in the Soissons- Cha teau Thierry salient. It was under his leadership during the opera ticns which began July IS. 1918. that the First Corps maintained a continuous advance during 23 days of determined fighting and drove the enemy back from the Marne and then across the Ourcq and Vesle.
 Immediately after the St. Mihiel offensive, in which he also com- manded a corps, he was ordered to establish headquarters at Rare court, near Verdun, to prepare for the -Argonne offensive.

 Successive victories of the forces with Gen Liggett brought his name into prominent mention in France and there was little surprise when Gen Pershing relieved him from the First Corps com ma and placed him in charge of the First American Army. This elevation carried with it the rank of Lieuten- ant General and the responsibility of commanding 250,O00 men in bat tle.

 The First Army had seen 20 days of fcontinued fighting when Gen. Liggett took command He ordered a suspension of operations then un- der way by that command, except for local purposes of line consoli- dation. and prepared the men through rest and relief from battle strain for the big push which began November 1, 1918, to end 10 days later with the signing of the armis- tice.
 Gen. Liggett was relieved of the First Army command and of further duties at the front, and the First Army was disbanded April 20, 9119. His next assignment was at Cob lenz, Germany, as commander of the Army of Occupation.
 For these services he received the Distinguished Service Medal from his government; the Croix de Guerre with palm and commanders
