 NOT WORRYING
About Submarines Now Turning Attentions on the

By Associated Press.

 Washington, Sept. 9.-Naval off, cers here are not disturbed by pub lished reports from London that Ger man submarines now are concentra- ting their efforts against American troop ships. It was said that it has been taken for granted here that the German admiralty would adopt such a course to meeting the growing clamor of those at home who demand to know why more than a million American soldiers have crossed the seas in sa- fety, and that steps have been taken by the American and allied navies to meet the increased menace.
 If there is any definite information at l. rning such new ord CTS to the submarines, however, it has not been transmitted> to Wash ington.
 Increased precautions, made pos sible by new destroyers, patrol ves- sells and other anti-submarine wea- pons have been put into effect re- gently.

 South of the Peronne- -Cambrai road the enemy continued his attacks with the employment of strong forces against the Gouzeau-C -Court-Epehy, in the line to the north of Templeux.
 The attacks failed with heavy loss- es.
 Between the Ailette and the Aisne, after repeated fruitless partial at- tacks, the enemy advanced toward evening to the attack in close forma- tion.
 "He was repulsed on the whole front with sanguinary losses, in part in hand to hand fighting and in part by counter thursts.
 Five airplanes were brought down out of British squadron which ad- vanced to the attack.
 During August, 565 enemy air planes were brought down on the Ger man fronts, 62 of them by our anti aircraft guns.
 Captive balloons to the number of 52 also were brought down.
 "Of the total number, 251 airplanes are in our possession.
 "The remainder were observed to fall on the other side of the enemy lines.
 I've lost in battle 1858 airplens and 86 captive balloons."'
