U-BOAFMENACEN NOT
CRAVE SAYS GEDDES
First Lord of British Admiralty
Thinks They Are Too
Far From Home.
BY ARTHUR e. MANN.
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

London, June lit is too early yet
TO forecast what the presence of a Ger
nan submarine off the american coast
may p~ortend,' said Sir Eric Geddes,
first lord of the admiralty, in an inter-
view with the United Press today.
"On the one hand, It may be merely
= sporadic raid similar to that carried
out by the U-53 earlier in the war, or
1t may mean the beginning of a serious
submarine campaign off the American
coast.
THE vigorous and successful Brit
ish anti-submarine campaign in our
waters has made submarine operations
very costly to the Germans, and per-
haps they calculate on getting better
results alonG the American coast. In
this. however, they will undoubtedly
be disappointed, since all our expert
ence over here has been placed with
out reservation at the service Of the
American administration which will
thus be able to base it's a~nti-subma-
rine measures or practical results.
There is no indication that there
has been a sudden increase in the
number of enemy submarines. On the
contrary, there is no doubt we are
sinking submarines faster than the
Germans are building them"
Sir Eric pointed out hat there is
SOM advantage in forcing the sub
marines TO operate farther from the
German bases. The longer they have
to travel to reach the operating zone,
the less fuel and supplies they will
have and consequently the less time
they Will haVe to spend in the Oper.

centratisn of troops opposite the foul

cy. Boche aviators and aircraft guns
are increasingly active in attacking
American observation balloons.
Military men still hold the opinion
that the Germans are not contemplate
ing an attack in these sectors but more
likely fear an American push.
The Journal DE Geneye. in a recent
Issue announced that the Americans
are holding 40 kilometers (about 25
miles) Of front in Lorraine.
According to prisoners, 1t is now
necessary to take two OF the present
German divisions to make one OF coTr-
plete strength. The enemy lines are
still sparsely held. American patrols
find no difficulty in over running No
Mans Land. The first two Hun
trenches are almost deserted every
