Il. fact today. ..
Sinking Of five vessels off the New
Jersey coast, with definite knowledge
OF two cruiser U!boats In action and
unofficial reports of tin fish sighted
from points as remote as Cuba and
Portland, Maine, indicates that a fleet
OF undersea craft is operating to ham
per shipments OF FAmerican troops
which reached 100000 In May.
The offensive on this side OF the At
lantic is prima facie evidence that the
submarine has been checked on the
European side, that Germany appre-
ciates the importance of the American
reserves in the campaign OF 1918 and
that the German offensive is against
the morale OF the United States as
well as against the forces under Foch.
The reinsurance OF Secretary Dan
iels. regarding the location at home OF
sufficient light craft to meet the
menace, should calm the logical query
OF the nation as to whether we are
prepared for this emergency. Failure
to have forces available for the situa-
ton would be inexcusable. Such
campaign has been forecast for the
period when American troops were
moving in large masses

arrival OF the menace turned loose

known to have been tied up for months
awaiting need for action. We may
rest assured that Secretary Daniels,
who has made good everywhere on the
sea, will scotch the pirates and open
the ports for conveyed armadas. before
many hours
The sea affair is the last prod neces-
sary to drive the United States into
complete unity OF purpose. What the
battles Of Picardy, Flanders. and the
Champagne started the submarine cam
paign will finish for the fathers and
mothers Of Oklahoma City, Ardmore,

United States nov have sons in ports

The sea affair Is to America what the
seventy-five mile gun is to Paris-a
political strategem. The menace to
ships loaded with soldiers is vital, but
the larger purpose is to amaze us at
the indefatigsbility of the enemy and
the strength OF his resources.
Remember that no nation is ever
beaten until il loses the will to win and
carry on.

Believed Halted
Associated Press Review.

Associated Press Review,
The German rush towards Paris be
tween the rivers Marine and Ourcq wa.
halted last night, according to today's
official statement from Paris. French
troops stood their ground firmly at the
point OF greatest impact, near the
Marne, and in dashing counter attacks
drove back the enemy in other sections
of the battlefield to the northwest.
French Straddle Road.
Th main force OF the German blow
was directed along the road that runs
from Chateau Thierry to Paris. The
French met il astride that road, to
the southeast Of Bouresches, within
less than two miles Of the river, and
broke the assault by their fire.
Heavy fighting continued all night
along the whole front northwestward
to the Ourcq, distance OF about IS
miles, the French driving the home
numerous counter attacks with the re-
suit that the Germans we're forced to
give ground at several points.
Hundreds Of Prisoners Taken.
Prisoners by the hundreds were TAX
en- by the French, who likewise cut
the Germans up considerably during the
various engagements.
Apparently, the Germans made no
further progress during the night in
other sectors. either on the other side
of Chateau Thierry along the Marine
and to the northeast, or in the SCISSORS
and Noyon regions to the north, as
the French are reported holding their
positions everywhere.
