SPYRUMORS
RIFE AGAIN
IN CAPITAL
Encounter of U-Boats by
Transports to Be lnves-
tigated Thoroughly.

Washington, July 4.-Thc unsuc-
ccssful submarine attack on the ships
of the American expeditionary force
has revived spy rumors in the capital
and will result In even more stringent
measures If possible to cloak the
movements Of military forces from the
enemy.
The relief and qualification of Off
cials over the safe arrival of the last
units of the expedition is tempered by
a manifest feeling Of indignation that
the German admiralty was able to lay
its plans so well and to attack the
American vessels in force before they
reached the zone which had been re-
gnrded as most dangerous.
Some officials were inclined to be-
licvc that the Germans must have had
a warming of the definite time agreed
upon for the crossing. but others dis
credited any such theory. arguing that
an attack was to have been expected
as a natural consequence of the gem
eral knowledge that was common
property.
There Were indications that the de-
partment OF Justice might be asked to
undertake an investigation when army
and navy reports on the incident were
complete.
At the navy department 1t was said
tonight that all the information which
had come through was contained In
Secretary Daniels statement of yes
tcrday. telling how the expedition had
encountered two attacks.
Think German Move Natural.
Officials taking the view that there
Is no ground for a SPY scare. sug-
gcStcd that inevitably il was a matter
of public information that the cross
ing of the expedition would follow
soon after General Pershing's an
nounccd arrival in France. 1t there
fore would not be unusual, these Off
cials argued. If the German I-boats
were given general orders to cruise in
sduadrons across various ocean lanes
In the hope that one OF the suuadrons
would intercept the Americans.
That the first attack should have
occurred on this side of the usual sub
marine zone was also regarded by
these officials as natural. The Ger
mans, thev said. must have expected
admiral Sims to send his warships
from their North sea stations well to
the west to meet the expedition.
Thcfc was little inclination any
where to attach blame for the attack
to any official act of the war or navy
department. 1t was pointed out that
the movement overseas was conducted
with unusual secrecy and that the ut
most precautions We're taken after the
ships were at sea to make the time of
their arrival on the other side conicc-
torai even to any person knowing the
hour of departure.
