German Attack on This Side OF 'h'
Ocean Is Predicted.

German Attack on This Side of the
Ocean Is Predicted.
New York, Aug. 20.-A Washing
ton dispatch to the. New York Amer
lean says: a submarine offensive
will be inaugurated by Germany on
this side of the ocean, according to
! information from an (, authoritative
naval source.
It is believed by officials of the
navy that submarines are already
en- route across the Atlantic. The
Navy Department has ordered COM
manders of all patrols to take ex-
traordinary precautions.
The zone of operations in which 1t
is expected the German submarines
will operate at the outset is the
waters off Long Island and southern
Massachusetts. The submarines will
90 after ships of all classes, especial
Nv those carrying supplies to the al
lies.
Little expectation is held by Ger
many that submarines operating so
far from their bases will be able to
escape destruction or capture soon
err or later The German plan of ac-
ton. as revealed here today, con-
templates the frequent loss of a sub
marine. but figures the results to
Justify such losses. AS fast as they
occur other submarines will be sent
to continue the menace to troop
movements and shipments of sup
plies.
The Navy Department learned CT
Ccrrlanys plans barely week ago.
Very recently, in response to an
urgent call from Rear Admiral Sims.
commanding the American naval
forces in European waters, additional
destroyers were ordered to rush to
the other side.

Paris, Aug. 2O.-Never was there

basis of the draft outlined In the

whatever in existing circumstances.

respectfully reject it uncompromIsing-
". The Humanite, the socialists OIL

the Royalist Gaulois and the ultra roy
alist Action Francois, all scout the
Vatican's proffered conditions.
Even the Croix, organ of the
French Catholic party, lays stress on
the fact that the Pope's infallibllity
extends only to spiritual matters, 50
it is permissible for the most devout
Catholics to hold opinions tototally
opposed to those of the Pope, re-
garding war questions, This significant
distinction shows that the Croix fore
sees the utter failure of the papal IN
itiative.
The war spirit here is fortified by
Mr.. Lloyd Georges statistics on the

also his buoyant confidence in next
years military outlook. AS 4 result
nobody expects early peace. Indeed,
everybody is counting upon another

The German high seas fleet, long

launch a great naval offensive, &C
cording to intimations received IN ad-
ministration circles in Washington
War experts have predicted that
Germany would send out her fleet
only as last, desperate measure
final, defiant effort to stave off de-
feat and bring about peace. The m
rimations received here that she now
contemplates doing so are based on
the fact that within the last few
weeks large fleets of new type of
mne-sweepers, in reality combIna-
nation mine-sreepers and destroyers,
have been seen sent out of the Ger
msn North Sea ports, far into the
sea, apparently to clear way for
the battleships.
News received in Geneva, Switzer-
land, from Munich, Bavaria, is to
the effect that number of German
Americans are fighting with the Ba-
varians. some as volunteers and
others under connulsion, Germany
considering her nationals wherever
they may be naturalized, as real Ger
mans. The advices say that the prac-
tice of forcing German-Amerlcans
into the fighting line has been gen
eral since the departure of the Amer
lean representative from Berlin.
