 serve the naval base and the ship Lyards beyond during the present emeF-
 gency and provide for our expansion
 and convenience in the future 1 Paymaster John B. Daniels of the

Desperate Fighting at Chaulnes.
(By Associated Press)

Leltlon, Aug. II, 3:40 p. m.-lhe
Allies continued to make splendid
progress this morning on the front
between the regions south of Arras
and the River Disc. Large captures
of guns and material have been made
and prisoners are increasing. The
fall of Chaulnes is said to have fol-
lowed desperate struggle with
strong forces rushed to cover the
German retreat The British were
fierccly opposed north of the Somme,
but are now advancing down the long
slops toward rBay, if they are not
already there. On the Soi'sons-
Rheims front the enemy is contesting
every inch of the ground with the
Americans, who are fighting heroical-
lv. The struggle can't last long. A
German retreat to the River Aisne is
clearly imminent. Between Arras and
Albert the enemy is showing signs
of anxiety, apparently anticipating a
wide extension of the fighting front
northward.

MEXICO AS ~" BASE?
NAVAL OFFICERS UNABLE TO
CONFIRM RUMOR.
Return of Submarines TO U. S. Coast
May Explain Loss of Collier
CycIops.

Washington, June 4.-Opinion in
Washington was sharply divided as
to whether Germany has established
where on the coasts Of the Americas,
or is operating her raiding submarines
from German bases.
Naval officials insisted there is no
evidence whatever substantiating the
claim that there are German Subma-
the bases in Mexican, Nicaraguan, or
West Indian waters. The state de-
partment shares this view.
Shipping board officials, however, in
sisted there is at least strong sus-
picion of bases in Mexico
A submarine base in Mexico would
not avail Germany for operations in
the upper Atlantic, naval officials con-
tended They pointed TO the fact that
it is 1000 miles from the Jersey coast
to Mexican waters, almost as far as
the German bases in Germany or Bel
GUM.
officials who ueiu 10 the view that
there are such bases in Mexican wa
tiers contended, however. that the OPP
erations off the New Jersey and Della
ware coasts were only side issues. "a
clumsy Ger. IN effort to terrorize
American shipping. ami thar the real
object of the German submarine cam
puiGn on this side is to menace ox
prevent the operation of oil taukers
transporting oil from the Tampico Oh
fields in England Tor the use of the
British fleet.
Assistant Secretary Of the Navy
Roosevelt insisted there is no evidence
to substantiate the report Of German
submarine bases on this side Of the
Atlantic.
