Allied Offensive Aids

pert of "The Manchester Guardian"

day as follows:
There are two ways Of expediting
progress on the West front. One is TO
put so many men in France that the
Germans will be outnumbered as well
as outgunned everywhere, and our at
tacks will succeed by mere weight Of
numbers. The other way is to win or
threaten to win such victories in the
East that the Germans will be COM
PEELED 10 weaken their forces in the
West and so make themselves less cap
able of resisting our attacks.
"The problem at the beginning OF this
year was TO draw off the German troops
from the East and so save Russia from
German concentration. In this we have
succeeded, for to all intents and pur-
poses there will be no offensive either
against Italy or against Russia. Ger

u. S. Investigates
Report of U-Boat
Off Maine Coast
Coast Guards and Fisher.
men Say They Saw
Submarine

Portland. Me-. May 22.-United States
naval authorities have begun an in
vestigation of the persistent reports
that a German submarine is cruising
in New England waters, it was stated
to-day. This action was brought about
by pew reports Of the sighting OF
U-boat last night off the Maine coast.
The reports are so far without con-
frmation," the naval commander OF the
Maine district has informed the au-
thorities at Washington.
Fishermen reported early to-day that
they had sighted the submarine at two
points east of the mouth of the Ken
nebec River, while members Of the
coast guard placed her at point not
far distant, where they report having
kept her in sight for an hour.
The submersible was first seen last
night off Cross Island, east of the en-
trance to Machias Bay, according to
the coast guard men. At OILS o'clock
this morning she was picked up again
by two fishermen south Of Seguln
Light. These men, after watching the
craft from a motor boat until it SUBJ
merged, hurried ashore and reported
what they had seen They were joined
shortly afterward by third fisherman
who reported that he had seen the sub.
marine a little later to the west OF
Seguin Light. The men reported tnat
the supposed U-boat appeared to be
about 200 feet in length.
Reports of the presence OF suoma'
rines off the coasts of Maine and Mas
sachusetts have been brought in by
coastwise vessels and fishermen re-
peatedly in the last few months. In
every instance official confirmation has
been lacking and naval officers have
scoffed at the possibility of enemy
ships venturing into American waters
Shining men, however, have continu-
ally expressed doubt as to whether
coastwise shipping was secure from at
tack, despite the constant patroliing
Of the coast.
Cross Island, off which the supposed
submarine was sighted last night, was
reported last August to be shelterins
a German submarine base. but investi-
CATION failed to disclose any basis for
the rumors.

London, May 22.-Comparative quiet
continued on the Isonzo front to-day,
where the Italians were consolidating
their gains, and the Austrians have
abandoned their fruitless and costly
counter attacks.
Only one attack by the Italians is re-
ported east of Gorilla. According to
Vienna, the Italians attempted an ad'
vance, but were stopped by the Aus
trians.
On the Trentino front, far to the
west, the Austrians are keeping up
their heavy bombardments and infantry
attacks to divert the attention of the
Italians from their offensive along the
Isonzo. According to Rome all attacks
in this region have been repulsed.

London, May 22.-While the British
guns continued their pounding of the
2.OO0-yard stretch Of the Hindenburg
line west Of Bullecourt which remains
in German hands, the French to-day

other points. In the former sector they
were checked by Wurttemberg regi-
ments, according TO Berlin. On the
southern slopes of Poehl Mountain they
failed also, although for time they
were near success.
Along the entire front the sustained
bombardment of the German lines by
the French big guns gave indication OF
a renewal of the great offensive. Both
