NOT
SERIOUS MEN ACE
SAYS T. N. HURLEY
-W.S.S.-

Washington, June 3.-The presence
of German submarines of the cruiser
type off the coast Of the United
States is not regarded as a serious
menace by the United States Shipping
Board 1t is not believed that pol
icy of unlimited sphere of activity
for the U-boats will result in a ma
terial increase of tonnage destroyed,
and the Shipping Board is prepared
to put more ships on the sea than the
submarinese can sink.
Chairman Edward N. Hurley eX-
pressed confidence in the United
States being able to defeat the sub
marine warfare Of the Germans. He
!also made the reassuring statement
that closing of the principal ports on
the Atlantic coast on account of the
presence in coast waters of German
submarines would have no effect
upon the strength of the American
troops and Allies on the battle line,
$50 far as that strength depends upon
transportation of munitions and sup
plies from the United States.
Under the vigorous campaign of
he Shipping Board that diverted all
available shipping to transatlantic
service, a reserve of munitions, war
supplies and food for the civilian pop
ulation has been built up in Eng
land and France. The extent of this
reserve cannot be made public, but
il is sufficient to permit the Ameri-
cans and Allies to carry on, even if
the Atlantic ports of the United
States are closed for considerable
time.
/ Thinks Base Is in Mexico.
Mr.. Hurley expressed belief that
the German submarine cruisers now
off the coast had obtained oil for

In the past oiled roads have had
