URGED no RUSH DESTIsOYERS.
U-Isoat Menace Looms Big, Says Sir
Eric Geddcs.

New York, Oct. 16.-+An appeal
from the British government to
America to expedite the construction
Of destroycrs and anti-submarine
craft and appliances was made here
tonight by Sir Eric Geddcs, first
lord OF the British admiralty, after
he had asserted that the U-boat
menace to-day is "greater than 1t
ever was"
Speaking at a dinner given by the
Pilgrim Society, Sir Eric said that
within the past few days he and
Vice Admiral Ludovic Duff, Of the
British navy. had discussed the naval
situation in all it's bearings with
Secretary Daniels and Admiral Ben
son, and that "complete unity of
views had been reached.
at is with Mr.. Daniels full con-
currence that | now make this
statement, that there is no greater
service that can be rendered by the
civilians Of the United States to-day
charged with the privilege and duty,
than to expedite the output Of de-
stroyers and submarine craft and
appliances Of every description, Sir
Eric said.
"Full Speed Ahead"
Your Secretary Of the Navy is
pressing upon contractors and work
men the naval order, Full speed

importance, and it is pleasure for
me to join with him in telling Amer
lea how great Is the Importance that

Discussing Germuny's submarine
menace. Sir Eric declared that, while
most men say to-day that it is a

menace Is one that "comes and goes"
and that in fact it Is to-day not
dead.

LONDON, March g. - Reuters says the most intense fighting is around Rouisel and Trincourt. The agency says the slaughter of the enemy ranks is appalling, and twelve times what the allies are losing. Every available gun in the area is concentrated on the solid massed bodies of the German troops, while the airmen grew weary with emptying machine guns, drums and dropping bombs into the dense gray crowds of troops, and returning for more ammunition.
