, there has been too much Of tend
ency to discredit the idea that the
Germans would como across.
On the other hand, II was pointed
out that the patrol activity has been
increased In recent weeks and that
this fact caused some OF the u boat ru.
mors
What projections tho navy now
has out or has had opf In recent days
may not be stated. Suffice II to say
that navy officials suggested the raid
covering period since May 25, had
been accomplished largely because OF
the fact that the long American coast
line presented difficult patrol prob
lem.
That two distinct operators were In
voIved is the opinion Of many naval
men. The u boats, attacking of
Barnegat, Sunday, were probably not
the same as the ones attacking the
Edna and the Hattie Dunn, May 25.
1t is possible that after making the
trip from Germany the boats had some
base along the American or Mexican
coast.
But it appears unlikely that one u
or two u boats could make the Jour
ney across and then operate more
than a week here unless there were an
available base within easy running
distance. Mexico is almost as far
away from Barnegat as is Europe. 1t
is doubted that any bases are there.
Hence, it appears likely that one sub
marine did the earlier sinkings and
two or more have been on the trail OF
the schooners and passenger steam-
ers this week.
The navy had no fresh advices for
publication at an early hour today but
anticipated it would have added facts
soon.

! WASHINGTON, June 4.-Germany
, has failed to gain any military 40
vantage from her spectacular y boar
raids of the American coast.
II she intended to terrorize the
American mind, she has failed like
wise to accomplish that.
Secretary Of the Navy. Daniels was
authority for the fiat statement that
the American naval strength abroad
would not be diverted to home shores
because Of the foray.
Germany, he suggested. wanted
to dent the American Iineup abroad,
so she perhaps could undertake i'm
portant naval actions over there.
Every available scouting vessel was
on the hunt today for the raiders, vari-
ously reported numbering from two to
five, All up and down the coast naval
district commanders acting under
their own authority, supplemented by
special navy department orders, had
out destroyers, u boat chasers and air
planes.
The fact that operations had been
carried on since May 25, came as
distinct shock to the national capital.
1t was proven, however, from the fact
that the dereIict Edna, recently towed
into Lewes, DEL, and the Hattie Dunn,
were both attacked on that date. The
CAPTURE of those aboard, followed by
their release only added to the sensa-
ton in this remarkable raid. This ap-
pzrently was all a part Of the German
plan Of striking fear to the heart OF
civilians and ship folk.
Persistent rumors of u boat activity
off the coast have been checked UP,
but the navy each time said their re-
ports disproved the stories. Some Of
these reports have come In since May
IS, notably that of the cargo transport
Nyanza, which wirelessed she was
chased.
: That the American patrol did not
pick up the trail Of the raiders before
they showed themselves off Barnegat,
was subject Of some COM
rent today. Some officials hirted

War Summary

1402nd day Of the war; 7eth day ot
the big offensive.
Marne front-American troops sig
nalized their appearance in the new
battle Of the Marne yesterday evening
! by defeating the Germans in two sen.
sationaI counter attacks.
In conjunction with the French they
hurled back German battalion which
| had forced the first crossing Of the
Marne, south Of Jauigonne. This town
is midway between ChateauThierry
and Verneuill, which represents four.
teen mile front held by the enemy
| north Of the river.
Further to the northwest, an Ameri-
can detachment, operating alone,
stopped the Hun advance at NeuiIIy
wood and threw the Germans back to
the northward. This represented the
high tide Of the enemy's westward d
progress during the day and stood out
above series of temporary French
defeats to the north and southwark.
Between the Aisne and the Disc r1v-
ers the Germans failed to gain, but to
the soutiH~ard, between the Aisne and
the Ourcq, and between the Ourcq and
the Marine, they took seven villages.
Two Of these, MosIoy and NeuilIy-La-
Porterie, were taken and retaken sew
eraI times and their ultimate fate was
still in doubt.
On the eastern portion Of the new
front, between the Marne and Rheims,
there was no change.

Americans in Fighting Line.
by J. w. T. Mason. United Press War
Expert
NEW YORK, June 4.-The entry of
Americans into the fighting along the
Marne means that the military situa-
ton facing General Foch now pre-
sents less cause for measiness than
at any time since the German often
sive began ten weeks ago.
General Foch's use of his American
reserves would not occur at this
stage of the battle except for the fact
that Won Hindenburg's own reserves
are rapidly being exhausted. 1t is now
possible for Americans to be sent into
the struggle along the Marne without
danger that Won Hindenburg is over
reaching General Foch in ultimate
strategy. The Americans are now to
the final period of their origl-
inal training before they are ready
for full offensive welfare on their own
initiative.
1t is at last safe for General Foch
to use the Americans for this purpose
because Won Hindenburg's large re-
serve forces have been seriously de
pleted both by casualties and by the
of the German front. There
is no present danger of an overwhelm-
ing mass of German reserves being
hurled against a vital sector OF the al
ies' front The Americans, therefore,
