Washington. Warning that the
Germans are preparing for great

lean lines of communication with
France In connection with the impend-
ing Teutonic drive against the west
front is given by Secretary Baker In
his weekly military review made pub
lie by the war department.
Recently there has been q marked
decrease in the number of allied mer'
chant ships sunk by submarines. The
explanation for this Is found In the
withdrawal of submarines In prep1'
ration for the coming thrust on land
and sea. The review says;
"As the time draws near when once
again the enemy will endeavor to
strike a decisive blow In the west, II
must be emphasized that he will not
be content with mere military oper-
ations on large scale.
During the past fortnight enemy
submarines have been recalled to
home ports to be refiitted and the most
powerful subamine offensive hitherto
undertaken may be expected to be
launched against our lines of commu'
nication with France. to intercept the
steady flow OF men and munitions for
our own armies and food supplies for
the allies.
