SUBMARINES WINNING WAR,
GERMAN SEA MINISTER RE.
PEATS HIS BOAST.
Increasing Number OF U.bOats, He
Says, More Than Makes up for Enc.
my Efforts.

Amsterdam, July Admiral Won
Capelle, German minister Of marine.
made an optimistic statement on the
progress of the submarine war during
a discussion of the political situation
in the main committee Of the reich
stag. says a dispatch from Berlin.
The admiral said the navy had the
fullest confidence in the future of the
submarine campaign and added:
'The continuously increasing enemy
efforts to overcome the submarine
danger by countermeasures are more
than equalized by the continually
growing number of submarines set in
operation against the enemy. Subma-
rine losses now, as hitherto, are kept
within moderate limits and all reports
to the contrary in the enemy and neu-
tral press are untrue. To sum up.
there is not the least reason for
doubling the success of the subma-
rine war;"
A representative of the German gen
eral staff described the military situ-
alton as favorable in every respect
and in agreement with the plans of
the supreme army command. He ex-
pressed the conviction that In spite
Of the number Of Germany's oppo,
nents the war would be brought to. q

BAKER CENSORS THE NEWS.
"A. p" Dispatches Held up by War
Department.

Washington, July 4.-Since yester-
day dispatches to the Associated Press
telling of the American troops in
France have diverted by official order
from their usual channel of delivery
and have been delivered first to the
Secretary Of War for his approval.
There is no censorship Of the press
In the United States. congress having
refused to enact such law. but news
papers and press associations have
voluntarily been observing the. re-
quests Of the government. u
Heretofore news dispatches leaving
France have been censored by the
French officials or the American CEN
aor,, with Gen. Pershing's expedition.
or by arrangement with London. 3HM;
hogeyer. is the first. instance In which
an executive department OF the United
States government has seen At to- di-
vert dispatches from their destination
and withhold them for official inspec-
'tion.
In this case no notice of the gov
ernment's intention was given and the
first intimation Of the practice came
when. last night, dispatches address
ed to the Associated Press, New York,
by its Paris correspondent, were by Of
flcial order delivered to the secretary
Of war in Washington, who after in
specting the dispatches delivered them
to the Associated Press bureau here.
Other dispatches addressed In the
same way were delivered to the Sec
retary Of war here today and through
the committee on public information
delivered to the Associated Press in
Washington with certain portions
eliminated.
The volume Of matter diverted TO
Washington was very large, and no
adequate provision for the examina-
tion or censorship had been made. The
war department was overwhelmed
and a consequent delay Of hours in
important dispatches resulted.
Assurance has been given by Secre-
tary Baker that the new procedure Is
to be practiced only temporarily and
that double censorship will be short
lived.

With Russia proving her army can
again strike telling blows the entente
forces are apparently preparing TO re-
sumo the offensive on the western
front Notable activity is developing
in Belgium.
That the Germans apprehend the
trend of affairs there, and the extra
ordinary efforts of her airmen to as
certain what is going on behind the
lines, is reflected in the official stota-
ments. The Teuton airmen are hav-
ing little success. London reports
that nine Germans have been put out
OF action 10 one Britisher lost.
The Prlssian minister of war be-
lieves that next British blow will
come north Of Arras, according to a
statement he made to the Reichstag
committee yesterday In this connec-
ton is noted that the British advanc-
ed slightly on six hundred yard
front in local action southwest of
Hollebek
Gen. Petain is bending every effort
TO Keep the advantageous positions
the French now hold. The latest ef-
fort of the Germans to win control of
the sector in the Aisne district not
only gained nothing and brought
heavy losses, but the French i'm coun-
ter-attacks took a salient near Cerny.
The Americans who participated in
the Fourth Of July celebration have
proceeded to their permanent training
camp, and the entire expedition is ex.
pected to be in camp by July 18th.

Gen. Won. Hindenburg's boasting

THE FOURTH IN PARIS.

Cheering Thousands as American
Troops Pass in Review.

Paris July 4.-All France celebrat-
ed the Fourth of July. Paris turned |
out crowd that no American city |
ever surpassed for size, enthusiasm
and profusion of stars and stripes.
A battalion of the first American |
expeditionary force about to leave fo~
training behind the battle front had
its first official review in France and |
about the centre of the celebration.
Everywhere the American flag was
flying from public buildings, hotels
and residences and from automobiles,
cabs and carts; horses brides and the
lapels of pedes' rams carried them.
The crowds began to gather early "a,
vantage points. Rue de Varenne was
choked long before o'clock this
morning when the republican guards
band executed q field reveille under
Gen. Pershing's windows and all routes
towards the Invalides were thronged
even before Pershing's men turned
the Americans were drawn up with
q detachment of French territorials,
the buildings overflowed to the roofs.
All around the khaki-clad men from
the United States We're trophies and
souvenirs of war; German cannon.
airplanes. machine guns and many ap-
planes for burning suffiocating gas.
Behind them in the chapel separat-
ing the court of honor from Napole-
on's tomb were German battle flags,
trophies of the Marne and Alsace,
besides Prussian banners of 1870.
There in the chapel before the
tomb of Napoleon, Gen. Pershing re-
ceived American flags and banners
from the hands of President Poincare.
Almost the entire history of the strug-
giles of the French against the Ger
mans looked down upon the scene
from paintings portraying heroic in
cidents in French battles from Charlie
magne to Napoleon. There was a
sharp contrast between the khaki and
plain wide brimmed hats Of Pershings s
men and the gay dress of D'Artagnan's
plumed musketeers and Napoleon's
grenadiers.
The enthusiasm of the vast crowd
reached it's highest pitch when Gen.
Pershing escorted by President POin-
care and Marshal Joffre. passed along
reviewing the lines Of the Americans
drawn up In square formations.
Cheering broke out anew when the
American band struck up the Mar
seillaise." and again when the French
band played THE Star Spangled BAN
ner" and Gen. Pershing received the
flags from the president
"Vive les Americans! Vive Perish
ing! Vive les Etats Unis!" shouted ov-
er and over by the crowd, greeted the
American standard bearers as they ad.
vanced.
The crowd that had waited three
hours to witness the ceremony that
was over in 10 minutes surged toward
the exit cheering frantically after the
departing Americans and trying 20
break through Gordon Of polio,
troops. Outside a greater crowd that
covered the entire esplanade of the
