Due TO Concentration.

SaThose results have been achiev-
ed by adherence to the only sound
strategic principle - concentration
of effort.
81 wonder how many people real
tze that the decision Of the Amert-
can naval authorities in sending
ships 5000 or moro miles across the
Atlantic to defend American inter
ests represents a unique triumph OF
fundamental strategic principle. The
naval historian, when his tine comes
to write, will not be blind to this
notable action, and there seems no
doubt he will be able to add that
the navy department was supported
whole -heartedly by public opinion.
! |t4tAnd that reminds me to empha-
size the fact that the object OF the
Germans in sending submarines to
the American coast to sink shipping
was to weaken the concord between
expert and civil opinion in the
United States. On that matter there
is no shadow Of debate"
In discussing the relations OF the
two navies, Admiral Wemyss said:
"On the broad lines Of strategic
policy complete unanimity exists.
Admiral Benson and Admiral Mayo
have both visited US and studied our
naval plans. No officers could have
exhibited keener appreciation Of the

have given us. am not exaggerat-

ciate his help at sea. The spirit or
cordial cooperation exists-ex-
tremely cordial, should say. We.
have, fortunately, common Ian
guage and common traditions, which
have done much to assist US in
working together.
"The American officers and men
are first rate. It is impossible TO
pay too high tribute to the manner
in which they settled down to this
job of submarine hunting, and to-
the intelligence, resource and cour-
age which they have exhibited.

SUMMARY OF The WAR

Allied etratesy and tenacity In
combat again have oheokmated
blows by massed bodies of German
troops and the German Crown
Prince has given up his second Of
fensiVe within a month without
either of them having affected SER
iousIy the general situation on the
western front. Except for artillery
dveIa a IuIE has como to the fighting
sectors but a new enemy assault is
expected soon.
In the offensive which began last
Sunday the Germans used large
masses Of troops on a short front.
For three days they gained ground
and were rapidly forcing their way
southward along the Aisne. French
resistance stiffened and then the
French took the offensive. German
efforts to strike south OF the Aisne
and reach the Oise south Of Com
piesne also failed after a slight
gain.
Friday there was no Infantry
fighting of moment anywhere along
the front from Ypres to Rheims,
which is now the vital section of the
western. line. The Germans are
probably reforming divisions shat
tered by the French resistance of
the past week.
South of the Somno and between
the Aisne and the Marne the artfl-
lery fire has been above normal, but
there are no indications that the
Germans are prepared to renew
their offensive on either sector.
Some military observers expect that
the heaviest blow will como soon on
The Pioardy field with the enemy
again attempting 20 separate the
French and the British and reach
the coast.
Berlin reports the number of
guns captured since May 27 by the
Crown Prince as 1905. In the lat
100 square miles of territory, and
captured 5000 prisoners, and $50
guns the poorest showing In any of
March Fl.
American aViators on the Toui
front have been bombing towns be-
hind the German lines. The first
American bombing raid was against
Donmary- ry-Baroncourt, northeast of
Verdun on Wednesday. This was
followed Friday by another incurs-
ion on which 79 bombs were drop
ped on Conflans, a railway junction
midway between Metz and Verdun.
On both occasions the Americans
returned safely.
Italian troops have checked sue-
enemy attempts TO force a
passage through the important
Tomato pass, northwest of Trent.
Two attacks by Austrian infantry
were broken up and 1870 prisoners
captured.

London Still Anxious.

London, June Is, (via Ottawa ~
With the enemy brought to stand
still a stable line is being re-egtab-
lished In the Compiegne battle, on the
front between Montdidier and
Chateau -Thierry. The outlook is now
regarded in Paris with more comb
dence. But anxiety is stin expressed
in London, where it is considered that
great peril is yet ahead for the all
lies.
The German effort has undoubted-
Iy fallen short of its objective and has
entaiIed heavy losses, but the enemy
advance has appreciably Increased
the threat to Paris.
Some commentators, declare he
still has reserves sufficient TO enable
him to launch an offensive greater
than that Of March at almost any mo-
rnent. The numbers at the disposal
of Prince Rupprecht are virtually
identical with those OF a fortnight
ago, despite his sending OF Bavarians
to assist the German crown prince.
There are three goals at which the
enemy may strike, namely, Paris
Amiens and Calais. and the allies, ft
is assumed, have little chance of as
certaining the enemy's intention be-
fore the blow falls.

(By Associated PresA>

London. June 16!-German sub
marine activity off the Atlantic
coast OF the United States should
not be taken very seriously, as the
Germans probably will not attempt
q blockade of the American shores.
This IS the opinion Of Vice Ad-
mira1 Sir Rosslyn Wemyss, first sea
lord Of the British admiralty. The
admiral believes that there 10 only
ono submarine operating off the
American coast and that the pur-
pose Of its trip across tho Atlantic
was to frighten the Americans.
This submarine business will not
have any effect on transport move
ment which, judged from the stand
point OF seaman, has no parallel
In history" said the vice admiral.
"A year ago the enemy was boast
ing that his submarine would pre-
vent American transports being
moved to Europe. l do not know
whether that statement was ever
believed in Germany or whether it
was merely put about In the belief
that 1t would make the Americans
nervous, but whichever it was.

fected the movement.
THAT is very remarkable fact
which, judging by the German
newspapers, is producing a great
impression In Germany. Not so
long ago the falling off in sinkings
of tonnage was explained by the en-
emy as being due to the fact that
there were few ships to attack.
"And now in the face OF that
statement American troops are COM
ing across the Atlantic week by

1T is evident that the enemy's OBJ
jectives were undoubtedly Com
piegne and the Vulers- -Cotterets line
in order to reach beyond the forest
on the left wing and obtain a base
for future operations against Paris.
There is no doubt that the battle
may be considered one lost by the
enemy, the Germans having only the
doubtful satisfaction Of a slight ad-
vance in the center for which divis-
ions were sacrificed ruthlessly. The
CHECK, however, is merely momen-
tary. We must expect the Ger
mans to make other attempts, as
they are in a great hurry to reach
their goal, from which, owing to
