CAPITAL EXPECTED
RAIDS OF U.BOATS
By CLINTON ". GILBERT

Star Correspondent Evening Public Ledger
Warrington, June 3.-The coming of
German U-boats to our shores has been
expected for some time by the Navy De-
partment II means that now, in Ger
man eyes. the war Is Americas war.
Germany II she is to win. must either
beat the European allies before we ar
rive in force or cut our lines of COM
munication and so slow up or prevent
our arrival.
The submarine war on England was
a war upon communications. Germany
went to It because she believed that II
she could cut Epgland's lines of COM
munications she could win. Now she
kncwc that she must cut Americas lines
of communication to win.
Such exploits as those of Sunday will
not affect the war. Germany must strike
successfully at American transports or
supply ships to win. Sinking coastwise
sailing vessels over here is exactly COM
parable TO long-range shelling of Paris
1t is spectacular, but of little military
Importance.
But American troops are pouring into
France fast. More men went in May
than a few months ago 1t was believed
possible to send in three months. That
stream of men upholds the Allies hopes.
And II It can keep up long enough and
be increased enough it means Germany's
defeat.
Germany must make war on the
United States. Therefore U-boat oper-
atoms directed at American troopshps
and supply ships must be expected. And
1t Is to carry on that kind OF war. not
to sinking fishing vessels, that Germany
crosses the Atlantic.
Germany is at last making war on
the United States as the foe she must
beat in order to win.

Women held babies in their arms and

spectacular to bolster up the people
at home" said one man. while another
declared that ut was just like Ger

T why don't they try something with
our armed ships?" asked one. They're
afraid of anything that's able to defend
itself" he said, answering the question
himself.
