ed again that whoever dares penetrate

the official government press bureau

Neutral press reports from Eng
land say that the British consider
themselves now masters of the subma-
rine danger and continue that it is GER
tain the number sunk and the subma-
rines captured are kept secret, it be-
ing only a question of time when nav
igatien will be recommended without
danger.
German papers observe that re-
sponsible British circles, Of sense
think differently. For several days the
English have chosen the tactics of
keeping secret their losses OF ships in
order to make the public believe there
is no more submarine danger.
"But the British public will soon be
undeceived. AS to the destruction Of
German submarines since Feb. COM
petent German authorities don't know
an thing about it, and rs for the in
formation that German submarines
were captured, it is clever.
