| LONDON, June lot is too early
| yet to forecast what the presence of
a German submarine off the American
coast may portend," said Sir Eric
Geddes, first lord of the admiralty, in
an interview with the United Press to-
/ day.
! 'On the one hand it may be merely
a sporadic raid, similar to that carried
out by the U-53 earlier in the war; or
! it may mean une beginning of a ser
ious submarine campaign of the
American coast.
THE vigorous and successful Brit
ish anti-submarine campaign in our
waters has made submarine oper-
ations very costly to the German and
perhaps they calculate on getting bet
ter results on the American coast. In
this, however, they undoubtedly will
be disappointed since all our expert
ence over here has been placed with
out reservation at the service Of the
American administration which will
thus be able to base its anti-subma.
rine measures on practical results.
There is no indication that there
has been a sudden increase in the
number of enemy submarines On the
contrary, there is no doubt we are
sinking submarines faster than the
Germans are building them"
Sir Eric pointed out that there is
some advantage in submarines oper-
ating farther from German bases
"The longer they have to travel to
reach the operating zone the less fuel
and supplies they will have and con.
sequently the less time they will have
to spend in the operating zone" he
said.
In reply to question regarding the
type of submarine operating in Ameri-
can waters the first lord declared:
Possibly a submarine of the con-
verted Deutschland type is being
used. l do not believe she is of the
much talked Of giant submarine type,
but is probably of type with a long
cruising operating radius
Sir Eric said it is possible the Ger
mans might have been able to estab-
lish a fuel depot on the American
coast at some isolated point, but he
does not believe submarine base
has been established.
"a submarine base means more
than a fuel depot" he said. THAT
includes repair dock. After sub
marine has been out for three weeks
it usually needs overhauling. 1t is
pretty difficult to establish such a
base on a hostile coast. There would
be much more chance Of establishing
it on a carefully guarded neutral
coast
Geddes said he thought it was diff
cult to say what classes of ships SUB
marines would attack in the future.

troop transports would Inevitably re-

by artillery preparation and accom-

over the Marne as the marines, ma

the tide in the most critical moment
of the war
II is of the mothers the men in the
line are thinking. 1t is to the mothers
that messages from the wounded are
being sent. The chaplain leans over
the incoming stretchers and asks the
soldier If he wants message sent.
The first words of the reply almost
always are Tell mother"
One boy who was seriously wound
ed, said:
"Ive been sort Of wanderer for
the last six years. l guess the folks
thought / was good for nothing. But
now I wish you would write mother
for me and just tell her made good"
Thoughts Of what their mothers
would have them do have buoyed
them up in the hospitals as these same
thoughts have made them the terrors
of the Marne.
The marines have made all their at
tacks will full packs, weighing thirty
pounds. These packs were shot clean

THE FIELD, June 10-The present
drive on the -Noyon front,
according to military critics, consti-
tutes the northern arm of a vast en-
circling product aimed against Paris.
This movement starting from the
Ayre in the region of Montdidier and
being pushed southwark as far as
possible towards the capital, would
coordinate with southern envelop-
ing attack from Chateau -Thierry,
thus seeking to envelop the American
and French troops between Mont

the French, who are holding the en-

Return to Original Strategy.
[By J. w. T. Mason, United Press

NEW York, June 10.-Von Hin
denburg's new offensive between
Montdidier and Noyon is an attempt
to capture the important French
communications center at Compiegne,
and duplicate Won Kluck's famous ad-
vance on Paris during the early
weeks Of the war.
Hindenburg is returning, in fact, to
the original German strategy of 1914,
in all its essential details. This
months advance to the Marne is no
more than a reproduction Of the drive
over the same ground in the
summer of 1914 by the Saxon general,
Won Hansen, while the present ad-
vance toward Compiegne is re-
acceptance of the strategic policy of
Won Kluck. Both Won Hausen and
Won Kluck are now in retirement be-
cause of their failures. Their i'm
petuous efforts were overcome by
General Foch's famous counter Of
fensive south Of the Marne and Gen
eral F'och now faces the same situa-
ton that confronted Marshal Joffre

STOCKHOLM, June 10.-The coun

Unless the present regime is over

other revolutionary democratic par

With masked cunning, by friendly
notes through German Ambassador
Mirbach, Germany is gradually ap-
preaching the heart of Russia, in or
der to pierce it at the desirable mo-
ment.
An alliance of German and Russian
counter revo1utionaries, acting from
