Iff LEAGUE URGES ESTABLISH
MENT ANTI-SUBMARINE DIVISION
Washington, July 26. (Special)
Establishment of an anti-submarine
division in the Navy Department to
be charged with the formulation of
plans and study of the use of inven
tions to combat the submarine menace
is urged in statement issued at the
headquarters of the Navy League of
the United States here today.
"Such a division," says the state
ment, "exists in the British naval es
tablishment and has since last Feb
ruary when the present unrestricted
submarine campaign was begun.
"The recommendation is that the
Anti-Submarine Division of the Unit
ed States Navy Department should
co-operate with the corresponding di
vision of the British Admiralty for
the purpose of deciding upon effective
methods of offense against the whole
submarine power as well as to per
fect the present palliatives employed
in defense against submarine attack.
"In making this proposal the league
only reflects expert opinion, which
now seems agreed that offensive op
erations against the whole power of
the submarines, in the vicinity of
their bases, is feasible provided ade
quate preparations are made. The
creation of an Anti-submarine di
vision is urged as a means to secure
concentration of authority and of re
sponsibility, with the technically
trained personnel of the Navy De
partment, to the end that concrete
plan of action for the future can be
-decided upon now and the engineer
ing work necessary in preparation for
the execution of that plan be carried
through under centralized direction. ,
"Consideration to plans for often
sive operations against submarines is
hnino- criven today by the General
Board of the Navy while prepara
Hons for and the ultimate execution
of such plans would be directed by
-tii chief of Naval Operations. But
the General Board is necessarily em
ployed with other problems as well,
and the work of preparing for and
carrying out any plan would consti
tute but a part of the work of the of
fice of Naval Operations.
"It is altogether probable that prep
aration for such an offensive opera
tion as would he required to strike
effectively at the whole power of the
submarine would involve special prob
lems the development of special
types of monitors or other craft, the
mobilization of air forces, etc., etc.
which could well he segregated from
the main work of the naval establish
ment and placed in the hands of care
fully selected experts,
i "The proposed Anti-Sumarine Di
vision might constitute a sub-com
mittee of the General Board ana
would, no doubt, be connected with the
Office of Naval Operations. But it is
urged that it would have the special
advantage of concentration upon this
single task. Its co-operation with the
British division could be closer and
more effective, it is believed, than
could be obtained by another agency
nf the Nftvv Department. It
develop a selected personnel for the
study of this one paramount problem.
Finally, a course of cctlcn having
been determined uor., it couli! davote
its energies to .'he d::-xt:i and pros
edution of the engineering work in
preparation for the operation with
out interruption from the general af
fairs of the naval establishment.
"A not inconsiderable benefit that
the Navy Department would receive
from the creation of such a division,
it is believed, would prove to be a
feeling of confidence on the part of
the public that the task of develop
ing a positive naval policy to strike
effectively at the whole submarine
power had been entrusted to certain
experts, and that the administration
of the Navy Department had thereby
made it a special part of its program
to evolve and prepare for some con
crete plan of action against the sub
marine menace.
"The record of anti-submarine work
firom the beginning, in 1915, does not,
it is believed, incline the public to
rest entirely content with the suf
ficiency of the measures undertaken
thus far. A definite assurance
that furthei progress and of a
radically different sort, was being
sought and that special agencies had
been provided to achieve more effec
tive results should strengthen the ad
ministration of the Navy Department
with the American public."

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD, July 1. (By Mail)
It is a sight for sore eyes to see the
Stars and Stripes floating in the war
zone of France and under it pretty
American girls moving between rows
of hospital tents decorating the land
scape with their smiles. Today I had
ten at No. 11 'Base Hospital. The old
unit from Boston was giving a spread
to the new girls, just arrived. And
as Chicago No, 12, from Cook County
Hospital was in charge . of No. 18
General, only a half mile down the
road, the girls from Chicago were
there too. Also one British general
a Sir and any number of colonels,
majors, captains and lieutenants.
Outside, over a sea of tents, the sun
was shining. Inside the tents Amor,
ican girls moved silently to and fro
watching over the wounded, while
medical officers wearing the American
uniform went from bed to bed. In
the middle of the field of canvas stood
the marquise under which tea was
being poured. Every nurse, off duty
at the time, was on hand. Some stood,
back of the tea table. Others served
at the punch bowl a beautiful, claret
colored fruit punch, as harmless and
as free from beguiling liquors as the
spring water Moses smote from the
rock. The iest made the guests wel
come and brought them cakes and
buttered bread and things. And
smiled and laughed and talked real
Chicago and Evansvillo and Boston
talk, their blue uniforms and white
Ifeaddress adding to the general sun
shine. Scraps of conversation mingled
with the rattle of spoons in teacups.
"Cincinnati!" one pretty girl ex
claimed as she smiled up at a British
officer belted Sam Brown-wise. "Do
you really know Cincinnati? Why I
was born there! I went to Chicago
to take up trained nursing at the Cook
County." "Sure I know Cincinnati,"
the officer smiled. "I'm a Canadian
from the States. I .was born in
the States. I was born in Georgia."
Georgia!'' the Sister exclaimed.
"What part?" "Newman." "Oh!"
There was disappointment in her
voice. 'I was hoping it would be
Augusta. I know a lot of folks down
that-a-way." "Thut-a-way! Oh you
American girl." "So you are from
Evansville!" another officer was say
ing to another nurse "I've been to
Evansville." "Honest!" said the girl.
"Didn't you like it' there? I think
Evansvillo is the prettiest place in the
world,!" "Have another glass of
punch," suggested a pretty Sister
with a tray as she stood in front of a
small group of American youngsters
wearing the uniform of a lieutenant.
"Qon't care if I do," said the crowd,
in chorus. "Thanks." Then some
body said: "Reminds me of a real old
Alabama church sociable, this does."
T turned to see who tho speaker could
be. It was an Army Reserve surgeon,
ranking as captain, from Selma.
Nearby two girls were talking. 'Why
don't our officers wear Sam Brown
belts like the British?" one of them
wanted to know. "Tho English of
ficers are ever som uch more chic in
their uniforms. Our men, with then
standing collars on their tunics look
like privates beside the British.
Don't you think so?"
Three or four girls from the Chi
cago unit stood about one of Vn-i Har
vard girls, in Franco since a year ago.
They were eyeing her snowy, flowing
head-dress enviously.. "Oh why can't
we-,have coiffures like yours!" one of
them moaned with mock trauedy in
her voice. "Our little bits of whits
muslin with the tiny red crosses on
them look so common besides ynurs.
All the society ladies hnve adopted
vour kind. They are becoming to
everybody."
"Just look at my uniform, a sec
ond girl exclaimed. "I just must send
it to the cleaners to have that spo
removed and of course out here in the
country there isn't any cleaner
"Yes there is," said the pretty girl'
addressed, "and it's just down the
road. Go down that way (pointing)
until you come to the bayonet prac
tice, turn to the right and go on as
far as the bombing school. Then you
will see the sign right next to the
boiling-oil engineer's laboratory."
"Oh, thank you so much!" said the
girl with Mie spot. And so the Amer
ican girls went on talking. As I left
one of the cider nurses said gravely:
"This doesn't .look very warlike,
does it? And if the folks at home
could see us now they would prob
ably say we were not paying atten
tion to our jobs. But teas like this
don't happen every . day. We hive
saved up for a long time in order to
have these delicacies today. When to
night comes,' and tomorrow, and all
the other tonights and tomorrows, we
will be caring for wounded men, fresh
from the battlefields. And it is hard
work. Just as we have the phono
graph play to keep the patients cheer
ful so do we try to take the Sisters'
minds off their work now and then."
Suddenly the nurse smiled and be
came gay again: "Itfs a regular little
Sociable, isn't it," she said.

musk melons, lemonade, strawberries
and cream and cake, to the delight of
all.
