WASHINGTON, July 90
mA Army men joined today with
sE navy authorities In urging
W. that big offensive be at
tempted against Germany's naval
bases.
They counselled sending a land
force to back the air and naval ex-
pedition, inasmuch as military history
proves land forces must cooperate.
1--WE might as well have peace now
if we do not make this gamble" said
one. "A deadlock is the only pros
pect in the east and west il this eff,
! fort to curb the U boat and turn the
German flank goes uninterrupted"
ALI quarters agreed that the sub.
marine tonnage toll Is distressingly
! large and the situation serious.
Secretary Of the Navy Daniels re.
fused tc answer this point blank
question::
would 1t not be better to take a
chance with the British and American
navies against the bases than to con-
tinue pouring men into trench dead
lock?"
1t was admitted that this idea Of
an offensive Is no mere child's play.
Germany's land defenses are Dower-
full. Naval vessels, hammering at
such projections, would be up against
another Gallipoli unless land forces
aided, said army men.
One of the highest naval officials
said frankly:
eff Germany's submarine toll keeps
up and we merely use defensive
means against the U boats, then we
are beaten. The gamble of an Of
fensive would be in our favor and
hasten either victory or defeat"
American inventions to curb q
boats were said not to have "panned
OUT yet-and some authorities were
far more skeptical than recent optim-
istic predictions suggested.

LONDON. July 20.-Germany Is
desperately trying to wear out
Frances military strength before
American troops get on the battla
line.
Such is the explanation given TO-DAY
at the war office for the unremittinS
Hindenburg Offensive on the Cham
payne and Aisne fronts.
After belittling possible American
aid, Germany is now beginning to
realize that entirely fresh armies
from the United States may later
turn the tide unless the present ma
tions are more nearly exhausted
than at present. France has been
selected by Germany as the nation
most nearly worn down.
Front dispatches today related con-
tinuance of the heavy fighting on the
French front.
