WELL TO THE FRONT ON SEA. | MERICAN warships have anchored off French ports, it i Officially announced to-day in Paris, after convoying cargo vessels laden with food from the United States across the Atlantic, From England comes, at the sane time, fresh confirmation the effective work done by American destroyers co-operating with the Kritish patrol to protect shipping trom the U boat menace. Only eighteen British ships were sunk by submarines or mines last week The Admiralty statement points out that fewer large vessels were sunk than in any week gince the German submarine campaign reached ite highest mark in April. Beside all this we have new evidence, both in the British war zone and in the Mediterranean, of what armed American liners can do in running fights with U boats No one can say the United States has not jumped to the front on eea, i | Note, moreover, that the marksmanship of American naval| gunners begins at a point that promises notable results as practice| makes it even surer. | In a running fight between an American armed merchant vessel and a German submarine, we jiave the State Department’s offi- cial sanction for the statement that, after the twenty-fifth shot from) the steamer at a distance of some 2,300 yards, the U boat raised clear out of the water, stood stern end up for a few seconds and then| disappeared. With official guardedness the announcement notes | that “the captain of the steamer and the commander of the guard) believe that the submarine was sunk.” There would seem to be about as much certainty of it as the peculiar conditions of submarine sinking can under most circum-| stances afford. The gunners on the Mongolia, it will be remem- bered, are convinced that they have hit two submarines. But evi dence that the U boats were actually sunk by the Mongolia’s guna is nothing like as convincing as that presented by the State Department} in the case of the unnamed merchantman. | This latest incident suggests more strongly than ever that some, f the best possible points from which to hunt submarines are the, decks of their intended victims. The Navy Department can make no mistake in furnishing merchant vessels with tl): trustiest gune and ammunition, and the most experienced gunners at its disposal. On the U boat war front we have arrived. What are fully equipped to make our presence felt — is we more.

APAN’S plain talk to Petrograd is the kind of thing that, from the Allies’ point of view, will have far more effect on Russia than any amount of diplomatic coddling and sympathy The first concern of the present Rus to get into as many Russian heads as 7 ould be ssible the realization that an Government s Russia’s future standing and credit as a nation depend upon its sticking to the common cause against the Central Powers. Nothing is more likely to assist the Russian Government in such a task than strong representations from Great Britain, lrance and the United States, worded with a directness which shall leave no doubt even to minds untrained in diplomacy. If Russians desert democracy in its hour of need they can expect no recognition or kindness from democratic peoples. And no nation s going to stand in greater need of friends, political and commercial, than reorganized Russia Americans will hope that the communication already sent by President Wilson to the provisional government at Petrograd puts considerations of this sort with a clearness calculated to start new trains of thought among Russian factionists and malcontents Moreover it is to be hoped that Mr. Root a! is carrying some- thing besides compliments and promises of aid to the Russian people. Russian intelligence may be slow. But it can be made t asp the fact that tle United States extends a helping hand only to those who respect and help themselves, ————_4--____.
