FLEET DOING DUTY IN WAR ZONE; MORE DESTROYERS TO FOLLOW Every Element That Can Aid in Fight on Germany Will Be Sent Abroad / 4 ======== How Navy Upholds U. S. Traditions This is the question and answer which assured our allies that American ships and American bluejackets were on the European firing line^ British Commander— "When will you be ready for business?" American Commander— "We can start at once." 1 J Washington, May 17.—Formal an nouncement that American destroyers manned by picked crews have carried the flng into the war zones of Kurope and have been operating since May 4 against German submarines with Brit ish and French war vessels was made to-night by Secretary Daniels after the news had come from London. The number and names of tlie vessels were not disclosed. It was made clear, how ever. Unit the lighting power of the nation was to be carried to its ut most to stamp out. the U-boat men ace. The disposition of the destroyers . has been left entirely to %\dmlral Sims, who Ims worked out a careful plan for use of the vessels placed un der his command after conferences both with the Brifisli and French ad- I miralties. Admiral Sims was selected ! for llie task because of Ills wide gen- J eral experience In the navy and also J because of particular training in de stroyer operations. Destroyers have proved the most efficient foe of submarines. Their value has been so great that all pos sible effort lias been concentrated by the Navy Department upon adding to the American flotillas In the shortest time. More than fifty new boats, swift er, more powerful and seaworthy and more heavily armed than any now in service are being built with all possible i haste. Several will be commissioned pfcrly in the summer. Others will be ready a few months later and still others at Intervals of a few months thereafter. American destroyers are sturdy craft, built for duty at sea, and the confidence of the department In their durability has been fully Justified by the fact that they arrived on the other I side of the Atlantic ready for imme- I diate service. Special attention was I given to selecting the crews. Not a I man. will he sent to Uuropean waters; who has not had experience and train- i ing on destroyer duty. Officials are ; confident that the ships and cr€w ; will give a good account of them selves. The department is guarding closely Its plans for sending other craft than j destroyers into the fighting zone. ■ ill II ESODDES OOBE3EIQH | ' j' I i * n Robert W.
