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 U. S. to Speed Destroyers and
Anti Submarine Devices-War
to Just Peace.

New York, Oct 16.-Sir Eric GEO
DIES, first lord of the British admiralty
asserted the U-boat menace t"day Is
greater than it ever was"
Speaking at dinner given by the
Pilgrim society. Sir Eric said tha'
within the last few days he and vice
Admiral Sir LudOvic Duff Of the BTU
ish navy had discussed the situation
with Secretary Daniels and Admlral
Benson, and that complete unity OF
view" had been reached. He said:
at is with Mr.. Daniels full concur
renee that | make this statement that
here is no greater service that can De
rendered by the civilians of the United
States today than to expedite the out
put of destroyers and anti-submarlne
craft and appliances of every descrlp-
ton.
Your secretary of the navy is press
ing upon contractors and wOrknen the
naval order Fun speed ahead in TINS
work Of paramount Importance.
There is no greater need TO-DAY
than for the utmost naval eHOrt
against the great offensive of the sub
marine now materializing and winch
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
aGmlralty's opinion that the U-boat
menace comes and goes and that to-
DAY it IS not dead. He warned:
Indeed, 1t is greater today than 1t
ever was. The effort is greater than
ever | think we are approaching a
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:
lone is our absolute loyalty to those
nations associated with us, and the
other is our determination to continue

have secured the only pence 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

do so would render any discussion pro
longed and less satisfactory"

WILSON To GIVE
AUSTRIANS Time
He Wants Them TO Realize That
They Are Fighting Now Only
for HohenzoIIerns.
WON'T REPLY FOR SOME DAYS
Turkish Situation is Much the Same
Washington Thinks Scheide-
ne an, the Socialist, May Sue
coed Prince Max as
Chancellor.

Washington, Oct 17.-President VIII
son will let his decision regarding the
German peace maneuvers sink into the
minds of the Austro- Hungarian people
before sending his answer to their
governments appeal.
1t was indicated today that 1t would
be some days before the president re-
piled to the Austrian throne. BY that
time, It was pointed out, the people OF
that country would have time TO realize
and think over the fact that they are
now fighting primarily to retain the
Hohenzollern autocracy-and 1t is con-
fidently believed here that they viii
not relish the thought,
Practically the same situation ap-
plies with respect to Turkey. The
government will take its time In an
swering both notes, but the Turkish
situation differs from the rest In that
the United States and Turkey are not
at war.
State department information Is
that conditions in Austria Hungary are
constantly growing worse. Political
conditions particularly are bad.
There are certain indications In
press and governmental reports that
Prince Max will not hold the post OF
German chancellor long. Scheide'
mann, socialist leader, appears TO be
slated for the place.
Elevation of a socialist to that place
1t was said, might conceivably mean a
real political reform in Germany. On
the other hand II was pointed out that
Scheidemann has more or less CON
stantly done the bidding of the Ger
man government itself Further, gov
crnment officials said, the main thing
wanted by this country is that the PEG
pie themselves shall rule. The iden-
tity of the chancellor is of compare
tive insignificance. So too, is the iden-
tity of the titular head of Germany,
it was stated.
1t was added that the kaiser could
be reta. .led as figurehead so long
as the German people controlled the
government and had responsible min
istry and Legislature.
