.FORESEE TROUBLE
ABOUT SUBMARINES
Administration Circles Believe
Germany Is About to Evade
Her Promises.
THINK HUGE FLEET READY

Official statements that there are no
sound reasons for believing that the
United States is about to have another
serious clash with Germany over sub
marine questions have not altered the
steadily overhanging fear in admins
tration circles that the future does not
hold out as much promise as many
predict and that President Wilson's last
four years in office are going to be
fun of trouble for himself and the
country.
The basis for the belief that Ger
many means to evadc promises to this
country and shortly begin upon a mer-
ciless campaign Of submarine destruc-
tion of the commerce Of her enemies
is hard to place. There is nothing
beyond the known feeling that German
public opinion is slowly but surely
veering around to the idea that in
yielding to the United States Germany
set aside her greatest and most ef-
fective weapon against England and
her allies: that the German govern
ment has long felt that the submarine
is worth more to her than any other
arm of her fighting equipment, and that
for months she has been building an
enormous feet of these underwater
craft ready for whatever policy that
may be later decided on.
Fleet to Be Ready Soon.
Th,. idea that viii not down, despite
official hints to the contrary, is that
Germany is nearing the time when this
great submarine feet VIII be ready for
starting upon gigantic campaign.
and that this campaign will bring
many irritating and aggravating ques-
tons as to German disregard of her
promises to the United States that
will lead to the long talked-of break in
diplomatic relations.
German official and public opinion.
while more friendly TO the United
began is strongly inclined to the
view that the only way Germany will
be able to bring England to her knees
is through the steady destruction OF
her food and ammunition supplies. II
England begins to feel the pinch OF
hunger her statesmen and people. &C
cordtng to what is said to be German
opinion, will begin to look with 1avor
upon peace negotiations. and such
negotiations are what Germany wants.
Germany Depends on U-Boats.
The submarine is the weapon Ger
MANY depends upon to do this job. Each
additional campaign of the submarines
is looked upon to bag more and more
vessels containing food supplies for the
allies.
1T is not believed that Germany will
defy the United States. Her plan will
be to permit her submarine command
ers to 20 as far as possible-destroy
and explain afterward. if explanations
must be made. Each succeeding foray
of submarines upon commerce is ex-
pected to grow in intensity, and
eventually reach the point when ex-
plantations are no longer to be accepted
by the United States. By that time.
though, Germany hopes to have fright
ened England and her allies into con-
sideration of peace that will bring
about terms at least satisfactory to
Germany as to the allies. The longer
peace negotiations are delayed the
worse will be the terms Germany must
meet, her people are said to realize. So
the submarines must be pushed to the
limit now. ..-.---- L---i-. III SAkaa
