GERMANS STILL RELY

Berlin Issues a Reply to Lloyd

Menace is Solved.

Amsterdam. May 2s (via London) -
The speech of Premier Lloyd George
last week, in which he said German
submarines were being combated sue
cessfuily and that England could not
be starved by the submarine campaign.
is characterized as only empty
words" in a semi-official German re
ply.
Facts are lacking" says the reply.
because our navy has found little
trace of the new methods whereby, ac-
cording to the views of the enemy, the
submarine danger can be met Hith-
erto all enemy experts have agreed
that with the present means they are
powerless against the serious dangers
occasioned by submarines. A change
in technical methods cannot be
achieved In a fortnight. We calmly
await Lloyd Georges prediction as to
the future"
