U-BOATS ARE EXPECTED
TO FORCE NAVAL BATTLE
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
COPENHAGEN. June 21.-The steady
continuance Of the submarine campaign,
despite the decrease in destroyed ton
mage admitted in the admiralty reports
for May. will. in tho opinion Of Capt.
Kuehlwetter. the naval expert of the
Berlin Lokal Anzeiger, ultimately force
general naval battle between the
British and German fleets as the. only
means of ending the submarine menace.
Capt. Kuehlwetter blames the good
weather for the falling of in the num-
Der of submarine victims. He argues
that the weather permits small sub
marine chasers to venture further to
sea to shoot better and to detect
periscopes easier.
In this argument the critic is quite
impartial. as he equally blames storms
for the failure to secure better results
in March. The other wen schooled
naval writers generally follow the
admiralty instructions to treat the May
results as practically as satisfactory
as those Of April and to describe the
entente counter measures as a COM
plete failure. They all accept tho
estimate of the Wolf bureau, the off,
cial news agency, that new tonnage IL
only one-flfth of that destroyed.

The Americans have carefully studied
the origin and aims Of the war, and

happy fruition. on which they are con-
WINGED depends the whole trend Of civil

These are not the fruits Of the mis-
sion, but the mission gave the occa-

ideals, which, pray God. may be for

Our alliance is based on a great

wish to use war as an instrument Of

and moro permanent causes. which
must give US all great cause for gratifi-
cation. say nothing Of the hospitality
Of the United States. which is pro-
verbal need not dwell on the
boundless kindness shown US. which

American people would have given us
that same hospitality under any circum-
stances.
'rWhat moves me, and all Of Britain.
and France, too. Is something deeper,
namely. the tremendous and spontane-
Gus enthusiasm Of America for what Is
now our common cause. and the deep
feeling Of sympathy which manifestly
animates the entire American commu-

ut was not in the power Of any mis-

create that feeling. Our mission was
only the occasion for its manifestation.

cause Of world freedom. And this is
the greatest and profoundnest result Of
our trip. This Is result, of which the
value cannot be measured by the more
effect 1t will have on the present war,
but which will outlast many genera
lions.
.Thus the mission has been the oc-
casion of the most benefcent develop

history of the world. Most alliances
in past history have been based on
temporary agreements between nations
for the pursuit of certain aims and
ambitions, and therefore passed with
