French Under Secretary OF the Navy
that two-thlrds of the German U-boats
had been sunk and they were being de-
stroyed twice as fast as they could he

These figures are Incorrect said
Admiral Won Capelle, "as IL also the
recent statement by the British Minister
OF Marine that since January last the
number sunk exceeded new construction.

Many of you gentlemen recently at
tended lecture by one Of our submarine
commanders who had just returned
from the barred zone. He described
in detail all the defensive measures
which our enemies employ against the
U-hoat. His utterances showed that our
splendid U-boat crews have stood their
ground hitherto against all these meas
ures, and have every reason to believe
they will continue to do 30 in the future.
"Official publications by the Admir-
atty stan are the most reliable bases
for judging the military results of tho
submarine war. About 100000 tons
which were at the disposal OF the enemy
already have been destroyed, and the
sinking OF an average Of nve big vessels
Ia still reported daily. This is a guar
antee that the efficacy Of the submarine
war remains unaltered."
Won Capelle then cited the statement
by Vice-Admiral Sims in London on May
that the ascending curve of ship con-
struction. within about fortnight,
would cut the descending curve OF sub
marine sinkings 80 that the Allied Pow

CRITIC IN LONDON

London MAY 30.-Discusisng the
outlook as the result OF the German
offensive on the Champagne battle
front, the military critic OF the
Daily Telegraph writes:
The present is a critical period
for the fate of France, and with
France is bound up the fate OF the

still have very valuable assets If they
know how best to use them.
I'VE possess numerical superior
ity of soldiers, the ocean routes are
at the disposal OF the allies, and all
the worlds wealth for the fetching.
The allies possess the means OF CON
centrating more men. guns and air
planes in the decisive theater than
the Germans.
1T is unnecessary to repeat the
cause which hitherto ha, nulliiicd
these inestimable advantages. 1t is
high time our war cabinet and war
office found out how to bring this

Italian Army Headquarters, Tues
day, May 2S.-One OF the most bril-
liant mountain operations since the
beginning OF the war was carried
out by the Italians in the Tonale
region, northwest of Trent early
this week, particulars regarding
which are now being received. The
basin Of Presena lake was captured
by ltaliap Alpini, after 40 hours of
fierce fighting against numerical

The Austrians were well en-
trenched. having at their disposal
strong iortihcations built before
the beginning of the war and great
" strengthened since then. The
great Presena mountain was reach
ed by the Alpini after attacking four
times under a heavy fire. The en-
emy was finally overwhelmed by a
bayonet drive.
The fight was rendered more dif-
ficult by the conditions of the
ground, which was hard and slip

Rome, Monday, May N.-The
brilliant victory OF the Italians in
the Tonale region was won about
1900 feet above the sea, amid
melting SHOWS and everlasting gla-
cierS. The battle was remarkable
on account OF the highly specialized
troops engaged and the mechanical
devices applied. The vast wastes OF
Tonale mountain. dominating the
Camonica plateau and the aP'
proaches to Paradise pass, has bee.
neglected by both sides as a helG
for offensive operations. but now
becomes more important.
Among the results of the Italian
attack were the blowing up by ar
tillery fire of an important Austrian
munitions depot and the capture Of
two telegraph lines which ran
through Paradise pass. The ltal-
ians were assisted greatly by yio-
lent fire. 1t required heroic efforts
by the Alpini to carry the guns to
the mountain tops.
