BONDS PASSED -s mil MM C8T jr- IS NAVY OKKICER AHK8 THAT PUB UC.TTY UK ALIX)WKU TO SHOW AtTl'AI, RAVAGKS I1KIXG HAVE BY l'-BOATH. By 1. W. Pegler, (United HrM 8UA CormivmdenL) WITH THE AMERICAN DE STROYER KLOTILLA IN BRITI8H WATERS, July 25. "Take off the lid and show the people back home what a fierce flghfwe'ro up against." Thus a highly-placed American naval officer, attached to the com mand of the destroyer squadron, en deavored to say something about a grave situation, without being able to say anything definite. Tbe officers toll plenty in confidence. The cor respondents attached to the American destroyer know that ships have been destroyed by the U-boats in far great er tonnage than at present they can be produced. They know also, some thing of the methods by which our destroyers are fighting the unseen menace and of the handicap which are hindering the fight handicaps which give the Germans the advant age and which the American back home could remove In a few months. But the naval officer couldn't tell what he knew, for publication. And the correspondents are on their hon or to submit all their work to the censorship. "It would help the enemy if we should tell our people all they ought to know," the naval expert continued. "A frank statement of the whole sub- marine situation, with its bearing on ttle land campaigns, might be of con- slderable practical value to him. Perhaps It would also stimulate hiB sinking morale for a time that de. ponds on whether ho is expecting a great deal or little from his subma rlno fight. "But I seriously question whether it would not eventually help us to win this tight. If the people could only know, thoy wouldn't for a mln ute hold back the support we need.' Though the censorship, with Its ovll tendency to shut the people's eyes to the peril, be maintained, the officer said our need not become a losing fight. Under present condi tions, he advised, the people back home can give aid by backing the war program of the army and navy departments without question, how- over grotesque they may seem. "Just now there are a hundred im portant facts which would illuminate the public mind," he concluded. "As long ob civilians can't know these things, the best they can do is to trust the departments that really do know, to make the right decisions."
