Russian Fighting Lively
Activity Indicates Heavier En-
Says Berlin Report

London, June 15.-The Berlin night
official statement refers to lively
fighting at several points on the Rus
sian front. The actions are located
as near Smorgon and west of Lutsk
and along the railway lines running
from Tarnopol to Zlochof and 70
Malice.
In a general way, this is along the
great bulge forced into the Teutor
lines By General Brusiloff's offensive
of last summer. The best authoritieg
here state that the Russian armies in
this district are by far the best OF all
the Russian forces, and in almost per
feet condition as to discipline and
equipment The German bulletins OF
yesterday spoke of the increasing &C
tivity Of Russian aviators. and there
have been many recent instances of
the skirmishes which usually precede
larger engagements.

Great Campaign to Stretch
from Gibraltar to
the Egean
Warning to Greece
Drastic Action Threatened if
Submarine Bases on Coast
Are Not Removed
rFrom The Tribune Bureau


Washington, June 15.-Now that
they are in control in Greece, the Al
lies are planning a great aeroplane
campaign against the submarines in
the Mediterranean, stretching all tho
way from Gibraltar TO the Kgesn.
French and Italian aeroplanes AL
ready are scouting along the African
coast. Fishermen OF the Southern
seas, who are experts in certain kinds
of deep sea fishing. are being used on
the aeroplanes as observers. Italy has
been especially successful in detecting
and destroying enemy submarines, by
reason of having men thoroughly
trained for the work, even though
these men may never before have had
experience in this kind of fishing.
Sicilian fishermen, clinging to the
tops Of poles erected in their small
boats have been expert for many gen
erations in detecting the swordfst.
These same men are now parts Of the
crews of aeroplanes guarding the -hp-
ping lanes of the Mediterranean.
Greece will be required to prevent
the use Of her territory as bases for
German U-boats. The Entente nations
have already made strong representa-
tions 70 the Athens government, and
are prepared TO follow the demand with
drastic action if that becomes neccs-
sary.
Most Of the submarine sinkings which
have occurred in the Eastern Mediter-
ranean during the last five months have
been attributed to U-boats operating
from bases in the Greek islands along
the coast Of the mainland. 1t has been
known by the Entente sdmiralties ever
since the war began that Germany was
violating Greek neutrality. On board
many of the U-boats captured or sunk
and later raised large amounts Of
Greek money were found.
Early in the war the British and
French patrols discovered German sub
marine bases on the north coast Of
Africa and destroyed them, but greater
difficulty was experienced in locating
the bases in Greek territory. The dan
gers from U-boats became so great that
it was necessary to employ new route
to provision the Allied armies in the
Balkans so the line of communications
might avoid the Egean Sea, which is
infested with undersea boats.
Under the new regime in Greece the
Allies intend 10 resume the use Of the
Hgean route.
