TO TIGHTEN GRIP
ON WAR SECRETS
War Department Still Has Fear Of
Lcak-No Adequate Proof as
Yet.

Washington, July 5.-The unsuc'
cessful submarine attack on the ships
of the American expeditionary force
has revived spy rumors in the CAPT:
tai and probably will result in even
more stringent measures hereafter
to cloak the movements of military
forces from the enemy.
The relief and qualification of of.
fcials over the safe arrival of the
last units of the expedition is tenn
pered by a manifest feeling of indig'
nation that the German admiralty
was able to lay its plans so well and
to attack the American vessels in
force before they reached the zone
which had been regarded as most
dangerous.
Discussion of possible spy activi'
ties took many angles today. Some
officials were inclined to believe thai
the Germans must have had a warn
ing of the definite time agreed upor
for the crossing but others discredit'
ed any such theory, arguing that ar
attack was to have been expected as
a natural consequence of the genera
knowledge that was common proper
ty.
There were indications that the
department of justice might be asked
to undertake an Investigation when
army and navy reports of the Incl
dent we're complete. At the navy
department it was said that all the
information which had come through
was contained in Secretary Daniels

statement, telling how the expedi
ton had encountered two attacks
one of them before reaching the
place agree upon as a rendezvous
with Admiral Sims American de,
stroyers and had successfully fought
off the u-boats and destroyed at
least one of them.
The secretary said he might re-
ceive a more detailed report later,
but it was pointed out that there was
little likelihood that it would throw
much light on the genesis Of the
German attack or the information
back of it. Officials taking the view
that there is no ground for a spy
scare suggested that it inevitably
was a matter of public information
that the crossing of the expedition
would follow soon after Gen. Perish
ing's announced arrival in France.
It therefore would not be unusual,
these officials argued, if the German
u-boats were given general orders to
cruise in squadrons across various
ocean lanes in the hope that one Of
the souadrons would intercept the
Americans.
Officials said, however, that if final
reports on the crossing aroused any
suspicion of defects in the govern
ment machinery for maintaining Sc
crecy about such operations immedi-
ate remedial steps would be taken.
