Bets Laid in London on
Prospects of Teutons
Sending Out Fleet
DESPERATION MAY

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Will Ger
many make the great gamble Of sending
out her fleet this fall or by next spring
This question is again causing specu-
lation here today following London re-
ports that bets on such a contingency
are being laid there. Thus far there
has been a strongly divided opinion in
naval quarters as TO the chance that
the Teutons would risk so daring a
stroke. Some authorities said only
desperation would force such a step;
Others that Germany would not attempt
70 i'm any circumstance as II would
mean suicide for her.
However, the military situation Is
such now that the German war lords
may be agitating the naval venture
idea again Some months back author
itative reports received here said that
the army leaders were striving to force
naval action, knowing that as long as
the English fleet was intact land sue
cesses were rather empty.
Now. with no Teuton successes chalk
ed up and with the balance certainly
swinging against the boche, 1t Is re-
garded as quite possible that the same
war lords are trying to compel the
to act as an Offset to the re-
verses on the west line.
Navy officials Will say nothing for
publication as TO their views OF the
likelihood OF a German offensive effort
on the seas. It may be said, however,
that the Allied fleets will be fully ready
for any blow the Teuton makes. And,
barring the tricks Of fate that some
times operate for success or disaster
the mathematical chances OF over
whelming Allied victory are enormous.
Meantime America and her Allies are
kept aggressively az their tasks on the
seas. Auti-submarine work IS increas-
iugly effective. Airmen are harrying
the U-boat bases and there is general
tendency on the seas to keep the boche
on the jump. just as there IS a definite
policy OF no let up on the land Rumors

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, July 81. (By Mail)-Ameri-
can ingenuity has evolved something
new and better in the way of gas
masks.
II is a mask that shuts out all gases
as effectively as the present French,
British or German models, IL not more
effectively, and it permits natural
breathing, through the nose. IL is as
light and comfortable as the French
mask, which is an Improvement on the
German model.
But it is American and it grew out Of
the American idea that the next i'm
portant stage of Allied operations, foll-
lowing the certain failure Of Ger
many's last great offensive, is to be an
Allied offensive. In other words it is
a gas mask designed for offensive oper-
ations It is intended TO be worn at
long stretches, if necessary, and to be
worn in the difficult business Of ad-
vancing. not merely while holding of
an enemy advance.
Among the advantages claimed for it
is that IL permits clear vision, the strip

gram from National Administrator
Garfield saying that automobiles
may be periodically used on Sun

unpatriotic disadvantage will be
taken of this easement of the gas

mobile will strictly observe the

concession.

iastiCally entering upon the final
