WASHINGTON. D.. C., May l9.-- Advices received here today state that the addition of the American destroyers to the Allied patrol fleet has resulted in the German submar- ines being held at their home base. The effectiveness of the patrol fleet has been materially strengthened by this addition and renders the submar- inc far less effective than heretofore. Experts declare the million tons per month sinkings are thing of the past. and it will be pure luck on the part of the Germans if their sub marines succeed in piling up record during any one month figured In thousands of tons.

RI.OCKADE OF GREECE
 CAUSES MANY DEATHS

WASHINGTON. D. C., May 19.- An official dispatch from the Greek government, communicated to the state, department by the Greek lesa- tion, says the blockade of the allied Greek coast has resulted in many reathss from starvation.
 I In January there were twenty-five deaths. in February twenty-siX. in March forty-nIne, and in the first third of April 10. These figures do not include deaths within the area occupied by the French and English armies and they cover only such cases as were certified to by physician as having been due to starvation. The legation assumes that many cases must have occurred without having been reported. The greatest distress appears to exist in Epirus, where for ty deaths occurred. In Thessaly there were seven, while in other provinces and islands the cases range only be- tween one and four.
 As the organisation of the ne" Zaimis cabinet was undertaken in harmony with the wishes of the allied nations the legation assumes that the blockade will now be raised
