RENEWED DIVER
WAR EXPECTED
Allies Preparing for Anticipated
Submarine Activities Against
Entente Shipping.
DOOMED TO FAILURE
Desperate U-8oat Drive Against
Transports and Troop Ships Like
Iy If Peace Offensive Fails,
Naval Officers Believe.

Washington Oct 9. = American
naval officials and British First Lord
of the Admiralty Geddes, realizing
that Germany is likely to start des-
perate U-boat drive against transports
and troopships if her peace offensive
fails, are comforting here over COM
bative measures.
Indications point to the loosening
of practically every U-boat in the leu
ton service against the Allied supply
lines. However, authorities believe
that this effort, like it's predecessors,
is doomed to failure, on the whole, be-
cause of reduced U-boat efficiency.
Four Reasons Given.
Factors making the forthcoming
campaign less dangerous than previ-
Gus operations were pointed out to-
day as:
/. Personnel of U-boats is disrupted,
so much that submarines are now
rated as only one-ffteenth as effective
as at the start of the war.
2. Submarines have been driven
from the coast and must operate far
out at sea, where their prey is more
scattered.
5. They have been forced to leave
the channel bases and operate around
the North sea, reducing their effec-
tive mileage one-third.
4. Defensive armament and the
convoy system have made successful
attack more difficult.
Construction Steadily Advancing.
A larger number of German sub
marines now are in operation than at
any time during the war and con-
struction is believed to be advancing
steadily ...
Because of the heavy protection
given TO troop ships and supplies
from America the work of hunting
down the submarine has been inter-
fered with to some extent and the
actual destruction of U-boats has
probably decreased, although the eff
fectiVeness of the submarine has been
reduced at the same time.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
HALLS CATARRH MEDICINE acts

caused by an inf1amed condition of the

When this tube is inflamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result. Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to its nor
