Germans Active I'm West.
On the western front the Germans
struck a sudden blow on a front that
has been comparatively quiet since
the April offense of the allies.
They stormed forward against the
French lines to the east of st. Quen-
tin. the sector near which the French
and British armies Join hands. Paris
admits officially that the Teutons sue
ceeded in gaining a footing in the
French first line but adds that the
greater part OF the positions pene-
trated were regained in a counter
attack. The German assault was
launched on a front of 500 metres to
the east of Gauchya, against the hill

The summary of the success of the
submarine, printed in London dis
patches yesterday has given tremen-
dous impetus at Washington, to the
plan of the younger men of the navy
for ''strafing" the submarine in its
lair. No particulars, of course, are
available at the Navy Department,
but there was a plain intimation there
yesterday that action of a new and
startling kind. might be soon ex-
pected.
The younger officers of the service
have contended for a long time that
the British defensive policy against
the submarine could not be successful.
Older heads here now become infected
with their enthusiasm.
No plan has been urged, 1t may be
stated, that contemplates an attack in
force. upon the submarine bases. 1t
is realized that these present a nut
too. tough to crack, furthermore.
what the younger naval officers do
contend is that the Gordon must be
drawn tighter. They compare the
problem to one of baseball strategy.
The U-boats, they say. have been
turning infield drives and Texas
leaguers into base hits. The navy
wants a submarine-tight infield.
Can Catch Any Submarine.
The geography of the North Sea
bottom is such that a Gordon of
ships close to the submarine bases
can be almost sure, with the latest
equipment, to get" any submarine
that starts out. Some, perhaps
many, of these ships will be sunk
in the effort. But naval officers
today pointed to the apparent sue
cess of the German program for
100000 tons of vitality
needed merchant shipping a month,
as ample warrant for paying that
price. They believe that they have
precedent on their side. When
Germany first started her sea ter
ror. Britain met it and then beat
it in this way. A Gordon of more
or less obsolete cruisers. fast de-
stroyers and lighter craft was
flung OF shore all along the Ger
man line on the North Sea. Win
