 The losses to the enemy thus far are declared to have been extremely heavy and the territory they have iostsis con sidered of high strategic value. inas-
 much as it is on that part of the bat tiefront through which the Germans had hoped to crush their way forward and attain an open road to Paris. The casualties of the enemy were particu
 larly severe during the. street fighting in Boureches where the Americans pushed him back step by step. The plans of the American command did not include the capture of Torcy, tut when the marines reached the ob- l jectiVe assigned to them, their ardor l for battle could not be restrained. and

COAST PATROLS ARE
 SEARCHING FOR U-BoATS
Officials Believe the Present Raid is to
 Be Followed by Others.

Washington. June 7.-The possibility that German submarines are lurking off the Atlantic coast hereafter must be regarded as continuing factor in American war measures in the opinion of many naval officials They believe the present raid virtually is certain to be followed by others and that it never will be safe again to assume American waters are free of this menace as long as the U-boats are at large.
 An indication of the deadly work of the allied and American fleets in European waters was given today stated that according to informa ton furnished the naval affairs committee sixty per cent. of the submarines con- structed ny Germany have been de- stroyed. This percentage includes not only new construction, but the boats comprising the numerous fleet in com mission at the beginning of the war Monthly totals of tonnage destroyed by C-boats continue to decrease While some authorities are of the opinion that this is due to no small extent to better systems of convoy and other protective steps, others believe the diminishing number of submarines ] is in active service is the basic. factor Secretary Daniels said the percent | age quoted by Senator Swanson repre- | sented the "best opinion of our maya | officers"

 Crowder believes some registrants have imposed on the burdened local boards to escape servSces while in other districts an application of the regulations has been perhaps stricter than is intended. The governors and the appeal agents are asked to inves tigate and upon evidence to ask boards to reclassify men. Assistance of the public through supplying information to the boards also is asked.
 Work or Fight.
 It was said today that with the gradual exhaustion of Class 1, un- skilled farm laborers whom the boards have been allowed to place at it's bot tom, will have to go to cantonments. There will be no change in this policy Eand the only relief. it is declared. will come from enforcement of the work or fight order generally.
