SEA LORD SCOFFS
AT SOB BLOCKADE
OF U. SHORES
English First Admiral Declares
U-Boat Activitylin American
Coast Should Not Be
Taken Seriously. .
(I5y Aoclated rrs.)
London, June 15. Grrman sub
marine activity off the Atlantic coast
of the United Mates shouiu noi dc
taken seriously, as the Germans prob
vk, ;n nnf attctriDt to blockade the
put; " v r ,
American shores. ...... . . . ,
Ttii. u the ooimon of Vice Admiral
Sir Rosslvn Wemyss. first sea lord of
h Pritieh aHmiraltv.
The admiral believes there ts only
one submarine operating off the
American coast and the purpose of its
trm arms the Atlantic was to
German ruthlessness at sea, the
firet sea nrA decla red. must be met
by centralized warfare in the Nofth
Jsea and tne Mediterranean.
U. 3. Navy in Europe. '
Admiral VVemvss oaid tribute to
Ui rn-oneraiion of the American
naval forces in European waters. He
said the American ships not only were
stationed in the north, but were also
r.njrtincrin the Mediterranean and
Off Gibraltar. ,-. - 1
"The Germans cannot hope to main
tain anvthine in the character of i
blockade." he said. "The distance is
nn trrt from their bases.
"You will remember that Napoleon
declared that exclusiveness of pur
pose is the secret of great success and
of great operations.' ; Now, if the
r.,rnni rnuld cause a dispersal of
naval force, this demonstration off
the American coast would achieve its
, purpose. .; - :
. , Centralijtation of Effort ,
"I hold firmly to two principles.
I believe firmly in decentralization in
administration of effort against the
enemy. I think it was Admiral Ma-
han who eaid that the great end ot a
war fleet is riot to chase nor to fly,
but to control the seas.
"Now, with that statement in mind,
clance at an ordinary scnooi anas.
You will observe that the central pow
ers have formed a block in Europe
running down from the North Sea
to the Adriatic and to the point where
the Dardanelles debouches into the
Mediterranean. , .
"Any submarine to reach t the
American coast has to pass either
to the north or south of the British
Isles or aldng the Mediterranean,
where Gibraltar stands sentinel over
the narrow exit. '
Fighting Sub by Strategy.
"That atlas is illuminating. It in
dicates sound strategic methods of
dealing with the submarine campaign.
We must fight the U-boat in the
narrow seas. In other words, we
must centralize; concentrating all our
forces ta what is really the decisive
area.--. :,, .-."'-"., ' :,
'Thm Hermans, vou mav be ure,
have been studying the' charts, and
in sending one of their so-canea suo
marine cruisers to the American
coast they thought to raise an outcry
against the policy of fignting tne
submarines. I judge that they have
already failed in their purpose.
"It looks as though they had mere
ly brought the war home to the Amer
ican people, reminding them thatthty
have a common interest in conquer
ing the power which invented this
modern form of piracy. That repre
sents . another defeat for the Ger
mans. - - -
Not Taken . Seriously, ,
"We 'shall' have to wait on events
before final judgment can be
formed as to whether the enemy will
persist in this new policy. I am not
inclined to take the business serious
ly. It cannot be serious in relation to
the immense volume of sea traffic be
tween the United States and Europe.
But I must enter one caveat.
- "The. nroner oolicv is. as I have
said, centralization of effort in the de.
cisive areas, the . narrow waters
through wlcich all the 4 submarines,
whether intended to cruise off our
snores or on mo .nicritan iuai,
must pass. '
"That is the riaht policy, as every
teaman . will. I am sure, agree, but
that does not mean that no subma
. rine can escape and cross the Allan
tic. w To Convoy Traffic
"What. then, should be done? I
aee it is reported that American coast
kniinil raflfif- will h fnnvnvf it. ' If
taht is to be the case the same pnn
ciple will be adopted as has proved
successful during the past year or
to, but this will be quite a secondary
effort, I imagine, since, according to
the statement of the naval secretary
- In Washington, the American naval
authorities are convinced that if the
submarine is to be mastered it must
be mastered in the narrow seas.
, "American resources are develop
ing rapidly and the two policies, I
hope, may not prove incompatible;
. namely, co-operation in the main of
fensive with a measure of protection
: to local traffic.
, "You know, of course," the first sea
: lord continued, "that for more than a
year past American men-of-wir have
been operating from Queenstown in
the Mediterranean. I do not think Hi
Germans that American men-of-war
are also acting against the enemy off
Gibraltar.
Closing Arguments Made

CHAPTER XIX.
Seven Concerts in One Day.
There was some wonderful
choruses along those war-worn roads
we traveled. "Roamin' in the Gloam
in'" was still my featured song, and
all the soldiers seemed to know the
tune and the words and to take a
particular delight in coming in with
me as I swung into the chorus. We
nevr passed a detachment of soldiers
without stopping to give them a con
cert, no matter how it disarranged
Captain Godfrey s plans. Hut he was
entirely willing. It was these men,
on their way to trenches, or on the
way out of them, bound for rest bil
lets, whom, of course, I was most
anxious to reach, since I. felt that
they were the ones I was most likely
to be able to help and cheer up.
The scheduled concerts were practi
cally all at the various rest billets
we visited. These were, in the main,
at chateaux. Always, at such a
place, I had a double audience. The
soldiers would make a great ring, as
close to me as they could get, and
around them, again, in a sort of outer
circle, were French villagers and
peasants, vastly puzzled and mystified,
but eager to be pleased, and very
ready with their applause.
Jt must have Been hard tor tnem
to make up their minds about me, if
thev cave me much thought. My kilt
confused them; most of them thought
I was a soldier from some regiment
they had not yet seen, wearing a new
and. strange uniform. For my kilt,
I need not sav. was not military, nor
was the rest of my garb warlike 1
I gave, during that time, as many
as seven concerts in a day. I have
sung as often as 35 times in one day,
and on such occasions I washank
ful that I had a strong and durable
voice, not easily worn out, as well
as a stout nhysiaue. xiogge ana jjt.
Adam appeared as often as I did, but
they didn t have to sing!
Near v all the sonprs l gave tnem
were ditties they had known for a
ong time. Ihe one exception was
the tune that had been so popular
in "Three Cheers" the one called
The Laddies Who Fought and Won."
Few of the boys had been home since
had been singing that song, but it
has a catching hit, and they were
soon able to join in the chorus and
send it thundering along. They took
to it. too and well they might! it
was of such as they that it was writ-
en.
We eovered perhaps a hundred
miles a day during this period. That
does not sound like a great distance
for high-powered motor cars, but we
did a good deal of stopping, you see,
here and there and everywhere., we
were roaming around in the backwa
ter of war, you might say. We were
out of the main, stream of carnage,
but it was not out of our minds and
our hearts. Evidences of it in plenty
came to us each day. And each day
we were a little nearer to the front
FRENCH OFFICER
Lt. Doyen Withstands Battle of Marne, '
But Shamelessly Surrenders in Omaha.
BEFORE OSCULATORY FIRE
A gallant young French lieutenant,
who had braved the terrific on
slaughts of the Hun hordes at the
battle of the Marne, and , who had
bajed his. breast to shrapnel, gren
ades arid shells in a multitude " of
major and minor engagements in the
trenches on the western battle front
for three long years, had to with
stand a bombardment of kisses at
the Union station Saturdaymorning.
He was at the depot awaiting the
departure of his train and four de
termined and tearful ladies surround
ed him. At the psychological mo
ment, ' which was just before he
boarded a train for the south, the
ladies made an assault in force and
captured him with side arms. He
was a prisoner and powerless. ..Then
each gave him a kiss' on, each of his
cheeks. ;
There was nothingiit the incident
to shock observers, nor did it reflect
op the observance of the conventions
by Omaha members of the fair sex,
for the women in the engagement
had a perfect right to do what they
did. -
The young man was Daniel Doyen
of the French armyv and a member

line trenches than we had come the
day before. We were working grad
ually toward that climax that I had
been promised. '
I was always eager to talk to the
officers and men, and I found many
chances to do so. It seemed to me
that I could never learn enough about
the soldiers. I listened avidly to
every story that was told to me, and
was always asking for more. The
younger officers, especially, it inter
ested me to talk wun. une clay x
was talking to such a lieutenant.
"How is the spirit of your men"? I
asked him
I am going to tell you Ills answer,
just as he made it.
"Their spirit?" he said, musingly,
"Well, just before we came to this
billet to rest we were in a tightish
corner on the Somme. One of my
voungest men was hit a shell came
near to taking his arm clean off, so
that it was left just hanging to his
shoulders. He was only about 18
years old, poor chap. It was a bad
wound, but, as sometimes happens,
it didn't make him unconscious -then.
And when he realized what had
happened to fn'm, and saw his arm
hanging limp, so that he could know
he was bound to lose it, he began to
cry.
'"What's the trouble?' I asked him,
hurrying over .to him. I was sorry
enough. for him, but' you've got o
keep up the morale of your men.
'Soldiers don't cry when they're
wounded, my lad.'
"'I'm not crying because I'm
wounded, sir I' he tred back at me.
And I won't say he was quite as re
spectful as a private is supposed to
be when he's talking to an officer I
'Just take a look at that, sir 1' And
he pointed to his wound. And then he
cried out:
"'And I haven't killed a German
yet!" he said, bitterly. 'Isn't that hard
lines, sir?'
"That is the spirit of my men!"
I made many good friends while I
was roaming around the country just
behind the front. I wonder how many
of them I shall keep how many of
them death will spare to shake my
hand again when peace is restored!
There was a Gordon Highlander, a
fine young officer, of whom I became
farticularTy fond while I was at
ramecourt. I had a very long talk
with him, and I thought of him often,
afterward, because he made me think
of John. He was just such a fine
young type of Briton as my boy had
been.
, Months after, when I was back in
Britain, and giving a performance at
Manchester, there was a knock at
the door of my dressing room. ,
"Com in!" l ulled.
The door was pushed open and a
man came isC with great blue glasses
covering his eyes. He had a stick,
and he groped his way toward me.
I did not know him at all at first
and then, suddenly, with a shock, I
recognized him as my fine young
of the Gallic mission to America. He
is an instructor, of the 54th brigade,
United '. States army, stationed at
Camp McCullough, Anniston, Ala.,
and the ladies who parted with him
so endearingly were his aunt, Mrs
Theresa Goodwin, 541 Twenty-sixth
street, a cousin and two friends. .
Lieutenant Doyen entered the
French army at the outbreak of the
war and just before, he-had arrived
at the age for military service. His
record waa brilliant and heroic and
he was made one of the instructing
officers loaned to the United States
by the French government as a rec
ognition of his emciency.
He had been the guest of his aunt
Mrs. Goodwin, and his cousin, Mrs.
George Campen, for the last week
and left Saturday morning for his
post of duty.

"My God it's you, Mac!" I said,
deeolv shocked. '
"Yes," he said, quietly. His voice
had changed, greatly. "Yes, it's I,
Harry."
He was almost totally blind, and he
did not know whether his eyes would
get better or worse.
"Do you remember all the lads you
met at the billet where you came to
sing for us the first time I met you,
Harry?" he asked me. ."Well, they're
all gone I'm the only one who's left
the only one!"
There was grief in his voice. But
there was nothing like complaint, nor
was there self-pity, either, when
he told me about his eyes and his
doubts as to whether he. would ever
really see again. He passed his own
troubles off lightly, as if they did not
matter at all. He preferred to tell
me about those of his friends whom
I had met, and to give me the story
of how this one and that one had
gone. And lie is like many another.
I know a great many men who have
been maimed in the war, but I have
till to hear one of them complain.
They were brave enough, uod knows,
in battle, but I think they are far
braver when they cofne home, shat
tered and smashed, and 'do naught but
smile at their troubles. '
The only sort of complaining you
hear from British soldiers ' is over
minor discomforts in the field. Tom
my and Jock will grouse when they
are so disposed. J. hey win growl
about the food and about this trivial
trouble and that. But it is never
about a really serious matter that you
hear them talking!
I have never yet met a man who
had been permanently disabled who
was not grieving because he could not
go back. And it is strange but true
that men on leave get homesick for
the trenches sometimes. Ihey miss
the companionships they have had in
the trenches. I think it must be be
cause all the best men in the world
are in France that they feel so. But
it is true, I know, because I have
not heard it once, but a dozen times.
Men will dream of home and
Blighty for weeks and months. They
will grouse because they cannot get
leave though, half the time, they
have not even asked for it, because
they feel that their place is where the
fighting is I And then, when they do
gej that longed-for leave, they are
half sorry to go and they come back
like boys coming home from school!
A great reward awaits the men who
fight through this war and emerge
alive and triumphant at its end. They
will dictate the conduct of the world
for many a year. The men who stayed
at home when they should have gone
may as well prepare to drop their
voices to a very low whisper .in the
affairs of mankind. For the men who
will be heard, who will make them
selves heard, are out there in France.
