Profes- . sor Marcus White of the State Normal wchool presided. This first success ot the Efficiency soclety of New Britain indicates the interest of the general public in what the society is trying to do, and gives the assurance that future speakers will have an enthus- iastic audience to hear them. Dr. Johnson stated that the Efficiency society would have no difi- culty in the futute in securi such speakers as Frank A. Vanderlip of New York, president of the City Na- tional bank ,and Dr. Jeremiah W. Jenks of New York university. Dr. Johnson said in part that a man needed first of all a conviction that he could do a thing, and then, even if he did not possess the necessary technical knowledge to do a given piece of work, he could acquire it, as he- had done after he had been ap- pointed financial editor on the Chi- cago Tribune. Then he told how his investigations led him, first, into the ‘Wharton School of Commerce, and later to New York university, where he now has over 4,000 students under him in tthe School of Commerce and Finance. Later, in speaking of the war, he said that American ingenuity would successfully combat the submarines and win the war, just as the applica- tion of the same ingenuity would suc- cessfully meet the financial and com- meércial: reaction which must neces- sarily follow the ending of the war. And this would be accomplished by the Teal thinkers of the country at- tacking conditions as they would be at that time, Never before in the history of the country were men studying their busi- ness as now, and although the war, and post-war conditions would modify business conditions the world over he had no reason to worry about com- mercial relations, as the careful study which men were making of the sub- ject wouuld make America a peerless Tegion of business. Dr. Johnsén urged that everyone should save, but not to a point that it would be a fault, and subscribe freely to the “Liberty Loan,” as these were practical ways in which every citizen could show his patriotism in a practical way. He counselled pa- tience with ‘congress and the govern- ment, and gave every assurance that the principles of democracy, as they were applied in this country, were sufficient guarantee fo@ the future and that the principle of a monarchy, autocracy, and aristocracy were too dangerous for anyone to attempt to carry* them' out, A mark of this fact, he said, was the generous and patriotic spirit with which the American people were now turning back again to the allies, the millions of dollars of unsought profits which had accrued as a result of the past three years of the great war. The other warring nations had lost money and men. After the war the United States would still have both, this: fact alone. assured the umiph “of - America.- E / No other event since the entry of the United States in the war has pro- duced the same feeling as the an- nouncement that a squadron of Amer- ican torpedo boat destroyers had safe- ly crossed the Atlantic and was pa- trolling the seas in war service. The American navy's actual entry into the_| war zone was productive of a brush between a destroyer and German un- derwater boat, accorGing To an an- nouncement by the British admiralty, ILY HERALD FRIDAY, MAY 18, 1917 RICAN WARSHIPS TO BEGIN but the result of it was not made pub- He. The squadron was greeted enthus- iastically at Queenstown, where it put in before going on active service. Admira] William S. Sims, who com- mands the squadron, is considered one of the most energetic and efficient of American naval officers. He is an ordnance, gunnery, torpedo and strat- egy expert and is possibly miore re- sponsible than any other officer for the present high state of efficiency of American naval gunnery.
