haa always marked tbe british navy has its drawbacks in wartime it has led to a ood deal of misunderstanding on the pert of the people both ot britain and her allies and there have been constant appeals in tbe british press that the naval authorities lift tbe pall of si lence bo that we may see what tbe meat fleets are doing that out spoken censor of british manners and methods the editor of tbe london truth remarks it is u pity that the truth about the aetonlshlns efforts made by great urltaln in the war haa not been published in amerloa yet 80 suld admiral 81ms of the united states navy in londonn a few days ago coming so soon after sir conan doyles recent insistence an the overwhelming sbare of british troops in the operations of the first four years of the war an insistence suggested by bis observations on the western front these generous words are not without significance beventy- flve per rent of the british casualties have been suffered by troops from these islands men who stemmed the first tide of tbe invasion of france and belgium and saved the channel ports admiral sims points out tbat ninetyseven per oent of tbe anti submarine craft that are at work day and night are british that british ships have brought over twothirds of the american troops and that the british navy has escorted onehalf of them the navy may be silent but it has in effect won tbe war it is the foundationstone of the cause of the whole of tbo allies our per sistent hiding of our light under a bushel has caused more or less of misunderstanding in every allied country at one time or another and without any departure from becom- ins modesty it is right that the facts should be known another influential iyradon paper the british weekly comments on the policy of tbe british admiralty somewhat acridly and after dis cussing the american admirals fig ures with regard to transport and subinarineb it proceeds he mentioned hint wben in april 1917 america came into tbe war the central powers were win ning with great rapidity he paid an eloquent tribute to the british navy if a catastrophe should hap pen to tbe british grand fleet there is no power on earth that can save us for then the oerman high seas fleet can come out and sweep tbe seas the british grand fleet la tbe foundationstone of the cause of the whole of tbe allies we must all echo admiral sims regret that tbe official policy of silence has been so rigorously and so stupidly pursued we met re cently a distinguished man who bas just returned from america after fulfilling the duties of a very import ant mission he assured ub that he was disappointed everywhere by the contempt with whloh the americans regarded tbe british effort during the war wen who should have known muoh better were- fully ot opinion that the british had left the main part of the fighting to be carried on by france they had no conception of the work of tbe british navy tbeae protests appear to have roused tbs press section of the british admiralty from lis wonted somnolence and it baa issued an offlolal summary of what the british navy has done during the war it runs in comparing tbe effort of bri tain with that of her allies there is a tendency in certain quarters to discount the british contribution by pointing to the fact that these islands havo hitherto enjoyed im munity from invasion it is prob able that those who bold such a view have failed to take into account the enormous sacrifices in men ntonoy nnd material wblch britain has made and is making in defence not of her freedom only but of that of the
