U-BOAT RAIDS NOT
A SERIOUS MENACE

Washington June 3.--The presence
OF German submarines of the cruiser
type off the cost of the United states
is not regarded as serious menace
by the United States shipping board.
It is not believed that a policy of un-
limited sphere of activity for the
U-boats will result in a material IN
crease Of tonnage destroyed and the
shipping board is prepared to put
more ships on the sea than the sub
marines can sink.
Chairman Edward y. Hurley ex-
pressed his confidence in the United
States being able to defeat the sub
marine warfare OF the Germans He
ports ON the Atlantic coast would have
no effect upon the strength of the
American troops and the allies on the
battle front so far as that strength
depends upon the transportation Of
munitions and supplies from the
United States.
Under the vigorous campaign of the
shipping board that has diverted all
available shipping to transatlantic SER
vice, a reserve of munitions and war
supplies and food for the civilization
population has been built UP in Eng
land and France. The extent OF this
reserve cannot be made public. but
L is sufficient to permit the Americans
and allies to carry on ~even II the Al
antic ports OF the United States are
closed for considerable pAriod.

Medical College
To Admit Women

At meeting OF the board OF trus-
tees OF the Medical College OF vir-
ginia held at noon yesterday. II was
decided to allow the entrance of wo-
men to the medical and dentistry
classes next year. This rule il sub
iect to a change IL found not to be
practicable, They will enter upon
the same terms as the male students
and will receive the same instruc-
ton.
This action is taken in view of the
fact that many of the men students
have been taken away by the war
and some of the classes are now only
teaching a small number. This plan
is also in line with many of the 9TH
err states of the Union who have adj
mitted the women to medical classes.
Tonight al s:15 O'Clock commence
ment exercises will be held In the city
auditorium Judge George l., Chris
