What Has British Navy Done?

13,000,000 Troops Transported —
With Loss Of Only 2,700 Men!

Pittsburgh, Apri! 5:—-The place of the British grand fleet in
the war plans of the Allies was described by the Right Rev. Cosmo
Gordon Lang, Archbishop of York, in an address last night at a
patriotic mass meeting. Through the watchfulness of the British
navy, the Allies have been able to transport 18,000,000 troops with
a loss through enemy action of. only 2,700 men, the archbishop
said.

“The question has been asked, ‘Where is the British navy? ”
said the primate.

“I may answer that in the American way by asking another
question, ‘Whereis the German navy?’ It is certainly where no
self-respecting navy would wish to be. 1 will answer it, by asking
another question, ‘Where is the freedom and peace of thé world”
It is behind the great silent power of that navy,”
