ALL WANT
CRACK AT
THE HUNS
AN ATLANTIC PORT, May 18 —
The enthusiasm ami ambition of the
ofiicers and men of the American navy
abroad to get a substantial crack at
the Germans is fully equal to that dis
played by the land foi'ces said Chap
lain P. E. Sydler, of the Navy, upon
his return from Europe today.
“Word that the German fleet was
coming out to give battle on the sea
would be greeted by cheers from the
American navy men now stationed in
European waters, especially in the war
zone around the British Isles/ said
Chaplain Sydler.
“American ofiicers applied to take
part in the Zeebrugge raid which was
planned by them, but they were re
fused. One American officer succeeded
in smuggling himself aboard ono of
of the British raiding ships and was
one of the first to land on the mole
where he was wounded.”
