lJ-B0ATS TO EXTEND
 FIELD OF WARFARE
Expected to Wage Campaign in
 All Parts Of High Sea

Washington, July 9.-Reports per sist that Germany is to increase the scope of operations of her U-boats and to announce formally that ruth less submarine warfare no longer will be confined to the barred zones but will apply to the high seas gener ally. The, German admiralty is un- derstood to be contemplating this move to offset any agreement between neutral countries and the Entente Allies whereby Entente shipping is relieved by neutral shipping so that the aggregate number of vessels ply ing through the war zone may be in- creased As a next move in the game Germany Is said to be consid- ering declaring a submarine warfare against shipping generally irrespec- tive of where the vessels are encount- cred.
 Officials here note that Rear Ad- miral Gleaves, commanding the naval convoy to the Pershing expeditionary force, reported having encountered one submarine well this side of the U-boat zone. This means that the U-Boats are able to operate on 8 wider scale than within the pre- scribed limits in case it becomes ex- pedient to do so. If the patrol of destroyers becomes too effective in the barred zone it is likely that Ger many will simply enlarge her scope of operations to seek to nullify the protective measures taken by the En- Aente and the United States.
 The difficulty of hunting down U-boats over a wide and virtually un- limited area Is admittedly great. But there Is compensation for the Entente and the United States in the realiza- 1ion that the U-boats effectiveness decreases in proportion to the dis tance from the boats base, as 1t must limit it's time of operations to It's needs in assuring for itself a safe return. The chances of intercepting steamships bound for Great Britain and France also decrease when the submarines are further out.
 There are two reports concerning prospective U-boat activities which are now of particular interest to the United States. One Is that the sub- marines will make every effort to cut off communication between the Amer ican expeditionary force in Europe and their American base of supplies, by lurking in the probable lanes over which re-enforcements and sup. plies may come. There Is no doubt entertained that Germany will seek to strike at this transport service wher- ever the chance is regarded best. The T-boats may lie in wait just outside New York harbor to strike at the American contingents.
 There have been recently persist ent reports of the design and construc- ton of an enlarged type of subnla-

 Instead of building 2,50O,000 or 10000 tons of steel and wooden khippinR in the next eighteen months lt is now the confident expectation of fhe shipping board that the tonnage |vill run from 5,000.0Oo to 6.o00,000. The board has been authorized to kontract for tonnage to the limit of ko0,O00,00O. Chairman Denman said That contracts for this amount now had been made or were in early pros- beet, making necessary the additional half billion appropriation if the pro- zram is to be carried to it's maximum
 possibilities.
 It Is believed President Wilson
 probably within the present week will

 Major General Goethals all mana xerial powers necessary to the execu- sion of the vast program, both as to wooden and steel ships It is re- ported General Goethals has been won over to the wooden ship idea, which he so bitterly opposed earlier in the history of the shipbuilding campaign. He is understood to have indicated to severaI persons his willingness to build Wooden ships to the limit of the coun- ltry's capacity, an attitude consider ably at variance with that which he held at the time he made his fam ous steel dinner speech in New York An explanation advanced in some luuarters for the return to favor or the wooden ships is that the steel men are not nearly so enthusiastic in their CO., opaPation with the government since It became apparent they are not to get Ithe ts5 a ton originally agreed on between them and General Goethals. but are instead to receive S56 as a minimum, with a possible advance to

 "All the Shipping board feared in February as to the effectiveness of the submarines has been realized. The present appropriation of $5O0,0O0,O0O will not replace in IS months more than four-f1fths of the German des- truction since February 1. It is to America that the forces fighting Ger many must look for the bulk of the replacement of the submarines des- truction.
 Since our original project was framed the United States has entered into the war and our army in France will require an enormous fleet to transport men. supplies and muni- tions. Submarines may reasonably be expected to appear along our coasts and compel us to curtail our naval as- sistance in European waters.
 ''The members of the bord have un- der discussion the investment of an- other $400,000,O00 or $5O0,OOO,0O0 in vessels. Such a proposal requires the approval of the President before pre- senting it to Congress. If Secretary McAdoo can suggest a reasonable place for 1t in our general scheme of financing for the war and the Presi- dent approves, Congress may be asked for a further appropriation of this amount"
 Threat COnvinccs Steel Men.
 Chairman Denman reviewed the history of the efforts to get mater ials and yards for the building of ships with which to nullify the effects of German submarine destruction and insure supplies to the American forces and to the Allies. The steel men at first, he said, expressed their inability to aid the Government because of their commitments to other nations, but later when tfei suggestion was made that the government comman- deer the steel plants, they offered to discuss the matter with the shipping officials. It was at this time, acord- ing to Denman, that he asked Gen. Goethals to confer with James A. Far rell of the United States Steel Corpor ation, the conference which resulted in an offer to supply the Government with as much steel as it needed at the tentative price of $95 a ton.
 
 the wooden ship plan was originated and approved by Gen. Goetllals. G. w. Sprague, graduate of Annapolis and noted electrical engineer; Capt. w. H. Stayton and Rear Admiral Vain wright U. S. N., retired; F. w. Woon, ironmaker and shipbuilder; I. N. Hol- lis. graduate of Annapolis; Herbert Hoover, and w. L. Saunders, eng1- neers.
 The board prepared a report of it's project with the suggestion that Gen. Goethals be asked to manage it. This was turned over to the Council of Ma tional Defense, which after investiga- ton approved it and returned it to the President The President gave his ap- proval and adopted the boards sug- gestion that Gen. Goethals be made the manager of construction and he was employed by the board in that ca- pacity.
