CALLS KA|SER'S BLUFF
DANIELS SAYS WILLIAM MAKES
VAIN BOAST.
Not One American Transport Has
Been Sunk on Way to France,
Says Secretary.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-The theory Of the
submarine as q determining factor In
the war has been exploded, Secretary
Daniels declared after reading the
boast Of the German emperor that
German submarines are "tenaciously
attacking and fighting the vital forces
which are streaming overseas" Mr..
Daniels pointed out that not single
American transport carrying troops
to Europe had been sunk. The sub
marine Is no longer determining
factor in the war, and statements by
Emperor William in a proclamation to
the German army and navy that sub
marines ''are tenaciously attacking
and fighting the vital forces which
are streaming across the sea-" are
without foundation, Secretary Daniels
said.
THE reduction in sinkings has been
steady" Mr.. Daniels said. THE sub
marine as leading. important fac
tor in the war Is ended"

when they captured that German base.
The fighting is said to have been the
bitterest OF the whole war. the Prus-
sian guards asking no quarter and be-
Ing bayoneted or dubbed to death as
they stood by their machine guns.
The Germans succeeded only at Y
great cost In getting behind the Aisne
from Soissons to COnde-sur-Aisne.
They also lost heavily along the Vesle
from the Aisne to Rheims The sup
small part OF what the enemy was
obliged to abandon. The entire coun-
try along the battle front has been
lighted up nightly by immense fires
consuming war material.
The French, who have gained IA foot
and have occupied st. Waast, menace
seriously the flank OF the retreating
forces.
The Germans now are imposing
strong opposition to the further ad-
vance of the allied troops along the
Vesle river from -u'4- east of Snissnns

will face their enemies south OF the
