[By the Associated Press ]

London. June 6.-The German u
boat campaign Off the Atlantic coast
Of the United States, can not be kept
up for any length of time, in the opin-
ion of Archibald Hurd. the naval
writer expressed in statement issued
last night.
Mr.. Hurd believes the operations
were undertaken in the hope Of weak
ening the work Of the American navy
in European waters and Of intimidat-
ing the American people.
There Is no possibility Of the enemy
maintaining long continued cam
States which would require large
number Of U-boats, Mr.. Hurd said.
No Surprise in London.
Admiralty officials have been
expecting for some time that German
submarine raiders would appear on
the American coast.
In speaking of the possibility OF this
development. they usually expressed
entire confidence. that the American
naval forces would be able to haa
adequately with the problem and THAT
the venture would not prove profitable
to the Germans.
The increasing radius Of submarine
activity has been repeatedly noted re-
Gently and was the s6bject Of con-
siderable comment q few days ago
when the steamer President Lincoln
was sunk.
It is possible that the submarine
which sank the President Lincoln was
on the way to the American coast at
the time.
England to Keep Pace.
The discussion Of the so called SUD-
marine cruisers has occupied consider
able space in the British press owing
to the prominence given them by Ad-
miral MARQUIS, Of Milford Haven, for
mer first sea lord.
+ In a speech at Cambridge Saturday
he predicted further developments OF
the submarine warfare in the direction
of larger submarines.
"In the construction Of large types
of submarine cruisers the progress will
not be confined to the enemy navy. We
shall keep pace.
"Unsinkable or submersible mer-
chant steamers, at least for valuable
cargoes appears inevitable notwith-
standing increased cost and decreased
cargo space"
Britain Increases Tonnage.
Merchant tonnage completed in the
United Kingdom yards and entered for
service during May, 1918, was 1924
gross tons, the highest figure for any
month during the past year.
Official figures published today show
that the .completions for May marked
an increase over April, 1918, OF S5.441
tons.
The total completion for twelve
months ending May 81, 1918, was L.
40e,sSs gross tons. The correspond
ing figures for the year ending April
80, 1918, were 1,270,337.

At the same time the French troops

When the American troops entered
