  Fleming invites Hurley to accept an honorary membership in the National Advisory Council of the American Junior Naval and Marine Scout. The purpose of the organization is to prepare boys to enter the Navy, Marine Corps and merchant ships. The present enrollment of boys is 60,000. Admiral (William Shepherd) Benson and Major General (George) Barnett authorize that their men and officers organize, instruct and drill the boys. It is a very patriotic organization. Enthusiasm, that will result in the young men of the country offering their services to the Navy and Merchant Marine, can be instilled in their minds only by proper educational methods, in conjuction with boys' activities. Hurley's name on the roll of the Council will help make the organization permanent. (Enclosed is a leaflet entitled: "Objects and Purposes of the American Junior Naval and Marine Scout, Inc."

• CHUR #4 Letter : Adams, Samuel H., B.E.F. France to (Edward Nash) Hurley, Washington D(istrict of) C(olumbia) (19)18/1005
  The letter contains three items. First, an envelope addressed to Hurley. Second, an intorductory letter from Adams to Hurley explaining the nature of the piece of German propaganda dropped behind British lines. Thirdly, the piece of German propaganda entitled "The American Peril." The article states that British commerce is in a dangerous position. The British War Office and Admiralty claim to be winning the war but they are flouting the commerical community and its interests, they are ruining England's chances of retaining overseas trade. Hurley's speaches show that America is after England's trade. America is building her vast mercantile marine first, to transport troops and materials of war, and then to attack British trade in China and her other colonies. This situation is the fault of British ministers, such as Lloyd George, and their nominees. America not only wants to defeat Germany, but also to control the world's commerce. Therefore, come to an understanding with Germany before it is too late. Only the United States have something to gain by continuing the war. Photostat : 1p : 8vo 1

  Amberg encloses a letter from Captain (____) Tobey of the Navy Department, London. Captain Tobey calls attention the high production costs in England and Copenhagen. Amberg feels that the Burmeister and Wain engines should be made in the United States. (____) Knudsen's presence in the United States would be very helpful in this respect. Amberg was talking to a representative of a gas engine concern in the United States, which offered to deliver in England C.I.F. a certain type of heavy gas engine. The English manufacturer is having trouble making ends meet. Coal is very expensive in England and in the rest of Europe. Captain Tobey hinted that the German submarine engines would probably not cost anything. Tobey was helpful in the diesel engine investigation and in the Shipping Board during the war, particularly in urging Lloyds to accept the reduction in anchor chain requirements for ships. This saved much time and Amberg feels that Hurley should thank Lloyds for this help. Encloser: Ty. L.S. : 2pp : 4to

  Tobey says that the (United States Navy) made arrangements to procure four ex German submarines. One set was engaged for the Navy Department, and one for the Shipping Board. Both will be shipped to the Navy Department. Tobey made some investigation of the diesel situation and found that the Cammell Laird engine is not in such shape at present to warrant the (United States Shipping Board) taking it up. He is quite certain that it would not be advantageous for them to manufacture the Burmeister and Wayne engine in England, even if adopted, as the cost of labor and materials is very high. Tobey will undertake to find out what the prospects are at the works of Harlam Wolff.

  Attached to a leaflet is an artificial newspaper clipping entitled: "Arrives From Peking in Thirty Hours." The article is supposed to be similar to one which should appear around 1925 due to the great strides made in air transportation (enclosed). The leaflet itself is trying to get new members to subscribe to the magazine, "Asia." Recently, Major G. H. Scott proved that space is conquered. American businessmen see the need of landing stations throughout the world for the aeroplane. "Asia" is giving the panorama of the changing East its transformation to the modern, the march forward of our industry, finance, trade, into fields of new and great opportunity. It also stimulates us to a real appreciation of what the East has in its life to make our own lives more full. "Asia" is performing a personal and national service by opening up this new field of interest and advantage. Its circulation is twice what it was in 1900. "Asia" asks (Hurley) to co-operate by proposing a friend for associate membership for one year to receive "Asia" paying for his friend's membership (Note: included on the letter is an application form).
