U-BOAT MENACE
IS NOW GREATEST
Sir Eric Geddes Tells Members
of Pilgrim Society of
Danger.
SAYS NEED NEVER GREATER
First Lord Of British Admiralty Calls
on v. s. to Speed Destroyers and
Anti-Submarine Devices-War
to Just Peace.

New York, Oct. 16.-Sir Eric Ged-
des, first lord of the British admiralty,
asserted the U-boat menace today is
greater than it ever was"
Speaking at dinner given by the
Pilgrim society, Sir Eric said that
within the last few days he and Vice
Admiral Sir Ludovic Duff of the Brit
ish navy had discussed the situation
with Secretary Daniels and Admiral
Benson, and that complete unity OF
view had been reached. He said:
1T is with Mr.. Daniels full concur
renee that l make this statement. that
there is no greater service that can be
rendered by the civilians of the United
States today than to expedite the out
put of destroyers and anti-submarine
craft and appliances of every descrip-
ton.
Your secretary of the navy is press
ing upon contractors and workmen the
naval order Full speed ahead in this
work of paramount importance.
There is no greater need today
than for the utmost naval effort
against the great offensive of the SUBJ
marine now Undertaking. and which
the allied navies will defeat as they
have defeated every other effort of the
enemy. But that defeat can be as
sured only if this need is recognized
and the wants of the two navies sup
Piled"
Sir Eric declared it is the British
admiralty's opinion that the U-boat
menace comes and goes" and that to-
day it is not dead. He warned:
Indeed, it is greater today than it
ever was. The effort is greater than
ever. l think we are approaching
point where submarine warfare is
again the weakest front of the allies"
Sir Eric said that, while he must
resist the temptation to allude to the
political situation, there were two
things he was convinced had not
changed. He said:
zone is our absolute loyalty to those
nations associated with US, and the
ether is our determination to continue
the war and not be diverted until we
have secured the only peace which
could justify all this terrible suffering
and destruction brought about by the
iniquity of our common enemy.
''We must not relax the muscles of
our fighting arm nor our war effort in
any anticipation of an early peace. To
do so would render any discussion pro-
longed and less satisfactory"
