British controller Of shipping, to the
effect that unless the United States
faces the shipping problem and con.

the United States will be crippled

This Is the solemn warning OF Sir
Joseph himself. 1t has passed the
censor and is the first real note of
alarm of the seriousness Of the sub
marine sinkings. Set aside all Ger

the idea that Great Britain, who is IN
creasing her own food production, can
be starved out. The writing on the
wall should arouse every thinking
American to the greatest problem this
world has ever faced-the transport

it is a question in many military
minds whether she will be able to
accomplish before winter the cut
ting of the rail arteries. Even il she
does cut these lines, Germany still
can feed the nests from which her
submarines emanate.
But, If England can accomplish a
fierce blow at the com mmunicatton
lines, she has done much toward
crippling the effectiveness OF Ger
many's U boat game. Then with the
backing OF powerful ships she may

BIG DRIVE PLANNED

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service J
LONDON, Oct 2.-Violent German
counter attacks by great forces Of
special troops against recently
gained British positions along the
bloody Ypres sector, were all repulsed
by British defenders, Field Marshal
Haig reported today.
No less than five of these blows
were struck by the enemy during the
night between the Ypres-Menin road
and the northeast corner of Polygon
wood, the British commander In chief
stated. All failed in whitening
fire from the British rifles, machine
guns and the barrage from field
pieces, except one dash which swept
over two small advanced posts. These
were held tenaciously by the enemy.
The same driving desperation in
counter blows was reported from
Zonnebeke to south OF the Ypres-
Roulers railway.
Haig declared the enemy had SUI
fered very heavy losses In the fruit
less attacks.
From the German tactics Of almost
feverishly inspired counter attacks,
plus Haig's silence on his own moves
during the past few days, 1t was con-
fidently predicted here today that
another big British drive is impend-
ing.
The Germans have apparently
sensed this and are striving by every
means to keep the British SO oc
cupied by counter attacks that they
cannot mass effectives for an Of
fensive. The Germans probably al
so see the grave menace of further

New Drive Coming.
LONDON, Oct. 2.-The phrase "in-
tense artillery activity in Flanders"
in the German official statement,
coupled with Field Marshal Haig's re-
cent reticence In describing British
operations, led to a widespread belief
today that a new British drive is in
the making.
Hiag adopted exactly this course of
preparation before his strokes at Mes
sines ridge, vimy and in the Ypres
sector
The enemy has been striving desper-
ately now for three days to gain back
some Of the ground lost in the Ypres-
Menin road sector. Haig's latest re-
port detailed counter attacks Of tre-
mendous force.

For almost three hours London's s

night sending an Intermittent cur
tain of steel into the air in the hope
of barring the way to the German
airmen. There were four raiding
squadrons. Two eluded the barrage
fire and dropped explosives over
southwest London.
Other machines left trail Of bombs
on various counties. The exact ex-
tent Of the damage and casualties had
not been announced early today.
