Creek since the comple- for adoption ‘by audiences thruout the couhtry today will not be pre- tailed ‘the work of the “ sented here, but the sympathies of * the resolution extending | the public will be none’ the less in keeping with the appreciation as it has been prepared. This resolution Se will be submitted to Lord Geddes, first lord of the British admiralty, who is on an official mission to the United States xt the present time, and thru him will be transmitted to the officers“and men of the British navy and to all the peoples of the British empire. The text of the reso- lution being endorsed today for this purpose follows: Be it resolved, that we, the peo- ple of the United, States of Amer- ica, having heard from the lips of the four-minute men of the com- mittee on public information of the United States government the glorious record of the deeds of the British navy during the great war, do hereby empower the said four- | minute men to convey to Sir Eric Geddes, first lord’ of the admir- | alty, now a welcome and an hon- | ored guest of our nation, and thru him, we trust, to the officers and men.of tHe British navy and to all | the peoples of the British empire, heartfelt expression of our keen appreciation, lasting gratitude and high esteem. | The world, it is shown in facts furnished by the United States gov- ernment, owes a great debt to the/ British navy for its accomplishment} in combatting submarine warfare and making it possible for the Uni- ted States to transport troops in safe-| ty to foreign shores. ’ | The facts in'brief: On July 29,| 1914, at the conclusion of the nual manoeévers, instead 6f being de-} mobilized as would bave been usual, } the grand fleet of Great Britain arg F from Portland, along the coasts, in- to the mists, and from that moment | has dominated the whole course of | the war. Since the 4th of August, the date of the declaration of the |} war, the oceans of the world have} been rid of enemy warships, and have been closed to mercantile ma- rine. Since the battle of Jutland, on the 3ist of May, 1916, the Ger- man high seas fleet has only once! ventured out into the North sea, and) that voyage only lasted until the British patrols got into touch with) their scouts. A total tonnage of | 488,837 tons of the German navy has} been destroyed in action by the Brit-| ish navy. The navy of Great Britain has,| since August, 1914, been increased by the addition of 1396 vessels of. all types. This is irrespective of 3600 vessels that have been added to the auxiliary patrol services. And thus the navy that has been added to the fleet of Great Britain during the war is larger than the total navy of Ger- many before the war. The British admiralty, in August, 1914, controlled 658 naval craft ex- clusive of a small number of auxil- jaries. The British admiralty at the present time controls 5,649 vessels. | From the 146,000 the personnel has been increased to nearly 410,000. In the patrol around Great Britain the monthly steaming of the fleet and other vessels averages nearly 7,000,- 000 miles, and in, keeping an area of 7,200 square miles clear for ship- ping, over 700 mine-sweeping ves-; sels are employed. These ships sweep 45,000 square miles monthly, and) steam over 1,100,000 miles in carry- ing out their duties. Over 13,000 vessels have, since August 1914, been intercepted and examined units of the. British| nayy employed on blockade channels. | For the defense of merchant ships | 6,000 guns have been provided and the necessary guns’ crews trained and | detailed to duty, The transportation of over 19,- 000,000 troops across the seas tas | y ithe protection offered by the royal navy, been affected at a cost of under 3,300 lives lost by enemy! action, a proportion of one life lost| per 6,000 troops carried. Including nearly 25,000,000 tons for the Allies, over 110,006,000 tons of war material and stores have been carried across the seas. The German merchantile marine} has, by the domination of- the Brit. ish navy, been reduced by over 2,- 500,000 tons, out of a total of ap- proximately 5,200,000 tons in Aug: ust, 1914, and the remaining 2,700,- 000 tons, with the exception of a lim- ited number trading in the Baltic and in Scandinavian waters, are ly- ing idle. a Artificial legs and arms were in use in Egypt as early as._700 B.
