While it is impossible to state the precise reasons prompting the de- partment( it is believed that Vice Aa- miral Sims has reported that the method now followed by the British navy will never dispose of the sub- marines and that the general board agreed with his recommendations. The department will continue to build destroyers with all speed, the navy being satisfied that this type of hip is of infinitely more value in fighting submarines than the wooden chasers. Great Britain has thousands of the latter patrolling the war zone. The records of shipping destroyed by sub- marines shows that while the patrols have assisted in holding the sub-sea campaign in check they have not re- duced it to any considerable degree, - and there is no reason for believing that they can ever eliminate the sub- marine as a serious military factor. When this country entered the war the department prepared comprehen- stve plans to turn out standardized wooden speed boats just as fast as emall yards on both coasts could com- plete them. The British government already had purchased hundreds of these craft in the United States and has caused American plants to treble their facilities. It was understood that within al year the United States would have more than 1,000 of the chasers patrol- ing the Atlantic coast and assisting the British navy. 6.—Abandon- of submarine program of | No More Contracts. i Te department will accept the first batches and they will probably be shipped to England immediately, but as far as can be ascertained that will end the government’'s investment in wooden chasers.

This fact was accom- plished when the National Guard was drafted into federal service yesterday by presidential proclamation. There are more than 300,000 men In the guard units which were discharged from state service when they were drafted into federal service. When war was declared in April there were not more than 150,000 men in the regular army. This looked like greatest war in history against the nation that boasted the possession of the greatest military machine in the world. On April 1 there were approxi mately 62,000 men in the United States navy—a force that has been more than doubled months. The army and navy together beginning of April. intensive recruiting activity and ths utilization and enlargement of the guard, the number of men under arms not fewer than 809,743 men, exclusive of ‘about 40,000 men in the officers’ training camps, The total is also ex- | clusive of the forco of 687,000 men to be sent into cantonments next month under the draft act for the new na- tional army. The first effect of the fllscnntinu—‘ ance of chaser building would be to | release hundreds of shipbuilders for s other work and to make: constructton | material available for other tonnage. The government also is expected to place as much armament as possible upon every American merchant ship and to avall itself of the new batch | of destroyers to act as convoys, The department has repeatedly called attention to the fact that sub- ,marines have never managed to sink | American armed ships which have & tolerable speed rate. The faot is at- tributed to the department’s policy of putting plenty of good guns, with crack crews, on American ships, An ofticlal announcement made in London recently stated that only 300 British ships were armed. Relatively the United States has a much greater number of armed ships. Great Bri- ain, however, within the last few -weeks has ordered a new flotilla of chasers from American firms, When the 687,000 men of the first national army enter camp for train- ing and are added to the force of 800,000 naw under arms in federal | service the United Btates will have not { fewer than 1,496,748 under arms on land and sea, at home and abroad. This may be justly consldered some achlevement for a nation that had not more than a quarter of a million under arms four months ago. Figures Are Official, These figures are based upon the | lutest obtalnable official statistics of ithe army, navy, marine corps, and other branches of the united merv- jces.
