German People Alarmed.

Paris, June 21.-Jules Cambon, gem
efal secretary Of the ministry Of for
eign affairs, declared in the course OF
an interview with a correspondent OF
the Associated Press today that the
entrance of the Americans into the
war had caused serious unress in Ger
many. He said:
'In the hearts of the French people
who welcome General Pershing there
was first of ali the desire TO reply tor
the enthusiastic reception which the
American people gave the French dele
gates, but there also was something
else equally important. Serious unrest
has been caused III Germany by the
entrance into the war of a country
which brings to the allies a freshness
and ardor which had not been dimin-
ished by three years of war.
Germany feels that the Americans,
once engaged in the struggle. will not
give up. 1t isyto prevent this cement
ing Of close ties that it Is multiplying
its efforts to spread dissension among
the allies.

Germans Think U-Boat
Campaign VIII Force
Decisive Sea Battle

Copenhagen, June 2i.--The steady
continuance Of the submarine campaign
will, in the opinion Of Captain Kuehl-
'wetter, naval expert Of the Berlin
Lokal Anzeiger, ultimately force a
general naval battle between the Brit
ish and German fleets as the only
means Of ending the submarine men
ace. Captain Kuehlwetter ascribes the
good weather to the falling off in the
number Of submarine victims. He ar
CUES that the weather permits small
submarine chasers to venture farther
at sea, to shoot better and to detect
perlscopes easier.
In this argument the critic Is quite
impartial, as he equally blamed storms
for failure to secure better results in
March. Other well schooled naval
writers generally follow admiralty In
structions to treat the May results as
being as satisfactory as those of April.
They all accept the estimate of the
Wolf bureau, the official news agency.
that new tonnage is only one-fifth OF
that destroyed.
