This was my attendance at th, mcetlnci of tho allied naval THE coua-el- l. not to mention dally conference with various official of tbo alllsa.

At these meet Inga every phase of tha altuatlon waa discussed. and tho methods finally adopted represented tha mature judgment of tha allied naval chiefs who participated In them. Without this council, and without the cooperation for which it alood. our efforts would have been so dispersed and would hava ao cverlappod that their efficiency would have been greatly decreased. es use they brought me Into Intimate contact with serns of tho ablest minds In the European navies.

This International naval conference not only had to decide questions of naval stratagy, but It had to concern Itself with a multitude of practical matter wulch hava lltlls Intereat for tha public, but which ara exceedingly Important In war. In this struggle coal oil and other materials, like ship and men. wore llm lied In quantity, and It was necessary to apportion them as deliberately and aa economically as tho more obvious mu nit Iona of warfare. The Germans were eonatantly changing their tactics, sometimes they would make their concentrations In a certain area: while at other times thalr strength would appear In another field far distant from tha first These changes made It necessary that wa should in each case readjust our forces to counteract the enemy's tactics. It waa a vital necessity that these readjustments should be made immediately when the enemys changes of tactics became known. Prompt Decision and Action Necessary. habl-tue- Crisis Calls for Best Man in England. It la evident that tho element necessary to success was that the earliest and most complete possible Information should be followed by prompt decision and action, and It Is manifest that, these requirements could have been satisfied only by a council which was fully informed and wbfch waa on the spot momentarily ready to act The allied naval council responded to all these requirements. One of my first duties, after my arrival.- - was to attend one of theae councils In Paris; and Immediately afterward tha meetings became much more frequent.
