"German 1J boats are being sunk faster than Ger many can build them. "They ere. impotent as a dscisive factor in the war." Secretary of the Navy Daniels stat ed this flatly today, verifying recent claims of entente representatives as to the submarine situation. He was speaking at the celebration of the Tam many society tins forenoon. He pointed out that; 14 destroyers are being launch cd today. ' ' scores more will be launch ed and commissioned before the end of the summer and with an increasing number thereafter until these best foes of the submarine" shall aid in freeing tie oceans of the undersea assassins. He revealed that 352,223 tons of Am erican shipping had' been sunk since the war started, that this has been re placed by 2,722,563 itons built in Am erican yards and that more than 400, PRESIDENT SPFAKSIAT I ' (Continued from page one) The president, however, did recapit ulate the war aims of the allied nations, which, he said, could be summarized in oils sentence "What we seek is the reign of law, based upon the consent of tho governed and sustained by the or ganized opinion uf mankind." Felix J. Streyckmans of Chicago, rep resenting the Belgian-Americans and chairman of the foreign born at the celobrution here today, replied to the president, as follows: "Mr. President, members of the diplo: matio corps: "To this shrine of the Ameriwn peo ple, to tho mortal remains of the man who, more than any other, gave the American ideal life and form, we have come today, bearing our humble tribute as citizens of the great republic. You, yourself, Mr. President, have acceded to our request that this Independence Day be designated as a festival of loy alty on the part of our foreign born citizens and of their sons and daughters. It is for me, representing the commit teo of pilgrims, to tell you what iV means to us. "One hundred and forty years ago to day a group of men animated by the same spirit as that of tho man who lies here, founded the United States of Am erica on tho theory of free government with tho consent of the governed. That was tho beginning of America. As the years went on, as one century-blended with anothor, men and women came from ever- the uttermost ends of the earth to join them. We have calloi them alien; but they were never alien. Though they spoke not a word of tho language of this country; though they grouped dimly toward its institutions, they were already Americans in soul or they would never have come. "We are the latest manifestation of that American soul. And scarcely had we settled ourselves into the structure of this dear country of our adoption when we found the spirit of Washing, ton, now blazing up to. be the guiding light of twenty great nations, assailed as never before by the sinister forces of reaction," "To this beloved shade we come to day with the hopes of our races gar nered in our hands. To you, worthy sue-' cessor of our great liberator, we give tho promise of tho millions who sont us hero that we will persevere in the struggle until lasting freedom is secur ed not only for this nation, but foj the nations from which we sprung yce and for all tho other nations.

"No halfway decision would bo "tolerable." Before a notable international gath ering at the tomb of Washington here he spoke "proudly and with confident hope" for the liberation of the na tion's afflicted by the "blinded rul ers" of Prussia. He defined) the ends to which, not America alone but "the asociated peo ples of the world" are fighting and declared for a knockout of "every ar bitrary power anywhere that can, of itg simple choice, disturb the peace of the world." The text of his address follows: Gentlemen of tho diplomatic corps and my fellow citizens: I am happy to draw apart with you to this quiet place of old counsel in order to speak a little of the meaning of this day of our nation's independ ence. The placo seems very still and re mote. It is as serene and untouched by the hurry of the world as it was in those great days long ago when Gen eral Washington was hero and held leisurely conference with the men who were to be asswcjiaitcd with him in the creation of a nation. From 'theso gen tle slopes they looked out upon the would and saw it whole, saw it with the lighlt of the future upon it, saw it with modern eyes that turned away from a past which men of uborated spirits could no longer endure. It is for that reason that we cannot feel even here, in the dmmcdSato presence of this sacred tomb, that this is a place of death. It was a place of achievement. A .great promiso that was meant for all mankind, was here given plan and reality. Th , associations by which w are here surrounded are the tho inspiring associations of that .no blo death which is omly a glorious con summation. From this green hillside we also ought to be aible to see with comprehending eyes tho world that lies about us and should conceive anew the purposes that must set men free. It is significant significant of their own character and purposo and oil the influences they were sotting afoot thalto Washington and his associ ates, like the barons at Kunnymede spoke and acted, not fpr a clas, but for a people. It has Tieon left for us to see to it that it shall be understood that they spoko and anted, not for a single people only, but for all mankind- They were thinking, not of them selves and of tho material, interests which contercd in the little groups of landholders and merchants and men of affairs wilth- whom they were accus tomed to net in Virginia and the col onies to the north and south of here, but of a people who wishes to be done with classes and special interests and tho authority of men whom they had not themselves chosen to rule over them. They entertained no private purpose, desired no peculiar privilege. They were consciously planning that men of every class should bo free and America a plaice to which men out of every nation might resort who wished to share with them the rights and privileges of free men. And we take our cue from thorn do we not? We intend what they intended. We here in America believe our participation in this present war to bo only the fruit age of what they planted. Our case differs from1 theirs only in this thut it is our inestimable privilege to con cert with men out of every nation what shall make not only the liberties of America secure, but the liberties of every other people as well. We are hap py in the thought that wo are per mitted to do wliat they would have done had they been in our place. There must now be settled once for all what was settled for America in the groat age, upon whoso inspiration we draw today. This is surely a fitting place from which calmly to look out upon our task, that we may fortify our spirits for its accomplishment. And this is the appropriate place from .which to avow, alilio to the friends who look and to the friends with whom we have the happiness to be associated in action, the faith and purpose with which we all act. This then is our conception of the great struggle in which we are engag ed, Tha iplot is written plain upon every scene and every act of the su preme tragedy. On the one hand stand the peoples of tho world not only the peoples actually engaged, but many others also who suffer under mastcrjr but cannot act, ipeopJes of many races and in every part of the world the people of stricken Kuss4a still, among the rest, though they are for the mo ment unorganized and helpless. Op posed to them, masters of many arm ies, stand an isolated, friendless group of governments who speak no common purpose but only selfish ambitions of their own by which none can profit but themselves, and whose peoples are fuel in their hands. The governments which fear their people and yet are for the time their soverign lords, making ev ery choke for them and disposing of mn'r fc-r k r o it PLANE WITH CLIPPED WINGS USED TO TEACH CONTROL TO THE YOUNG AVIATOR This photograp was taken at France shows a "grass cutter" or plane with clipped wings, so that it annot leave the ground more than six feet.

V 1 The destruction of every arbi trary power any whero that can sepa rately, secretly and of its single choice disturb tho peace of the world: or. if it cannot .be presently destroyed at tho least its reduction to virtual dmpo-, tence. 3 The settlement of every quef tion, whether of territory, of Boverign ty, of economic arrangement or of po litical relationship, upon the basis of tho frea acceptance of that settlement by tho people immediately concerned and not upon the basis of the material interests or advantage of another na tion or people which may desire a dif ferent settlement f of the sake of its own interior influence or mastery. 3 The consent of all nations to be governed in their conduct towards each other by tho same principles of honor aud of respect for the common" law of civilized society that govern the individual citizens of all modern statics in their relations with one an other; to .that end all promises and covenants may be sacredly observed, no private plots or conspiracies hatch ed, no selfish injuries wrought with impunity, and a mutual trust estab lished upon the handsoms foundation of a mutual respedt for right. 4 The establishment of an organi zation of peace which shall make it eortain that the combined power of free nations will check every invasion of right and servo to make peace and justice the more secure by affording a definite tribunal of opinion to which all must- submit and by which every international readjustment that cau not be amicably agreed upon by the peoples ' directly concerned stall bo sanctioned. Those great objects can be put into a single sentence. What we seek is the roign of law, 'based upon tho consent of the governed and sustained by tho organized opinion of -mankind. Thnso great, ends ennnot be achieved by debating and seeking to reconcile and accommodate what statesmen may wish, with their projects for balances of power and of national opportunity. They can be realized only by the de termination of what tho thinking peo plo of tho world desire, with their longing hope for justice and for social freedom and opportunity. I .can fancy that tho air of this place carries the accents of such prin ciples with a peculiar kindness, Jlero were "started forces which the great nation against which they were pri marily directed at first regarded as a revolt against its rightful authori ty but which it has long since seen to have been a stop in tho liberation of its own people as well as the people of the kUnited States; and I stand here now to speak speak proudly and with confident hcpe of the spread of this revolt, this liberation, to tho great 'Htagjo of the world itsolf. The blinded rulers of Prussia have roused forces they knew little of forces which, once roused, can never be crushed to earth again for they have at their heart an inspiration and a purpose which are deatdiless and of the very stuff of tri umph.
