NEW YORK, June 4.-With huge German submarines lurking off the coast. the possibility that they may carry dro-airplanes from which bombs can be dropped on New York was given grim meaning by Police Commissioner EnI4ght when he made formal announcement of the signals which will be sounded in case of en- emv air raids.
 Whistles to Sound Ten Minutes
 "The police department desires to notify all residents of this city, through the press,' said the statement. that in the event of a raid on this city by en- emv airplanes the following signals will be given:
 Siren horns or whistles will be sounded continuously for ten minutes. When this signal is given. everyone should immediately open the windows of their homes or offices and go at once to the cellar of the premises
 Must Extinguish Display Lights
 After the danger has passed, a sig nal will be given by shorts blasts of siren horns or whistles at intervals of one minute each for a period of twenty minutes
 This reminder that the war has been carried 10 the gates of the city fol- lowed close upon the heels of an order under which all display lights must be extinguished until further notice.

PARIS. June 4.-A very appre- ciable slackening of the German effort is noted in the announce ment of the French war office to- night. The French positions at certain points have been improved and German attack which at first made some progress, was later repuIsed.
 The text of the statement reads:
 During the course of the day the enemy considerably slack ened his action, which was limited to few local attacks. The enemy artillery displayed activity north of the Aisne between the Aisne and Ourcq rivers and in the region of Reims.
 North of Mouin-Sous Tou- vent our troops improved their positions and made some gains of ground.
 ''In the region of Longpont the Germans succeeded in penetrating temporarily Retz forest, but our counter attacks drove him back immediately to the eastern border. On the rest of the front there was no change.
 "On June 3 our bombing esca- driIIes, forcing a passage of the enemy lines, brought down two enemy airpIanes. Three other air planes and two captive balloons were brought down by our pur- suit machines. The same day twenty-one tens of projectIes were dropped on marching troops, artillery columns and revictual- ling conveys. On the same ob- jectives twenty eight tons were dropped on the night of June 3-4."

 The navy department has received dispatch from a United States de- stroyer that at g:30 o'clock this morn ing she interrupted an attack by an enemy submarine on the French steamer Radioleine about 65 miles off Inc Maryland coast.

 Members of congress who conferred with Secretary Daniels today were convinced that everything possible was being done that could he done without lessening American efforts to crush the enemy in France
 Purpose of Attack
 Secretary Daniels believes that the main purpose of the raid is to create @ demand among the people for the return of American craft that are fighting submarines abroad. If so, the German effort to crush United States participation in the war has again met with flat failure. The troops have gone forward without delay. The raiders have created panic among coastwise shipping. but they have done on mili- tary damage whatever.
 Floating mine is Found
 The picking up of a floating mine off the New Jersey shore was announced today by the navy department. Un- doubtedly it was dropped by one of the enemy | boats. Possibly the raider was closely pursued and thought to lay a trap fsr her pursuer.

Germans Make Small Gains

Between the Aisne and Ourcq rivers the Germans have captured Pernant and to the south of that village the French have ceded little terrain. In the Ourcqu valley they also took the town of Neuilly La Poterie, (Veuilly- La-JoterieD 7l2 miles northwest of Chateau Thierry in fighting during which the place changed hands several times. In the region between the Disc and the Aisne the Germans have been unable to advance anywhere. The losses of the Germans near Pernant were extremely heavy owing to the stubborn defense of the French.
 British Front Inactive
 There still is only moderate activity along the line held by the British in Flanders and Picardy. where patrol ac- tivities and bombardins continue On the AmienS front the Germans are heavily bombarding British positions

 Full confidence in the outcome of the war again has been expressed by the supreme council of the allies, which has just gone over the entire situation resulting from the big German offens- i've, although it was stated that the allied nations may be still exposed to critical days.
