By Associated Press 20 Every Evening


Washington, June 1.-THE present Iull
on the battle front in France only pre-
sages a new and more violent storm Of at
tack on the Allied lines in military opin-
ion
The impression Is rapidly strengthening
the stage is almost set for renewal Of the
German main thrust AZ the British army
around AIniene with the Channel coast a~
the objective.
Belief has never wavered among tie ma
Jority of officers that the real purpose
Of the German General staff has been
from the first TO cut the Allied armies
apart by q drive that would carry them
20 the Channel
Arrived at that goal, massed attacks
would be hurled against the northern
sector for the purpose of destroying The
British army while 9 strong defense was
maintained against the French to the
south
The thruste at Paris have been looked
upon as well planned and executed feints
designed to weaken the AMiens front be-
fore the final effort should be made there
On no other theory can these observers
explain the sequence Of German opera
tions In the great battle. On no other
basis, they say, can the campaign Of de
Tense waged by General Foch be under
stood. 1t is battle in which the ultimate
reserves will win the day, as the fight il
seen here.
If the German General staff considers
tie present situation along the vas front
stretching from Ypres Oh the north 10
Rheims on the south promising for lie
final effort, the ultimate German reserve
is now being assembled for the attack
while fighting fronts take breath
Some observers believe further efforts
are to be expected to fattcn out the Com
piegne salient completely before the main
attack is resumed

By Associated Press % Every Evening
London, June L. German submarine
activity Of the Atlantic coast Of the
United States should not be taken very
seriously, az the Germans probably Will
not attempt blockade Of the American
shores This - the opinion Of Vice Ad-
miral Sir Rozslyn Wmcyss, first sea lord
Of the British Admiralty, expressed IN
an interview today The admiral be-
ieves that there il only one submarine
operating Of the American coast and
that the purpose Of It's trip across the
Atlantic was To brighten the Americans

cooperation of the american naval
forces IN European waters lie said the
American ships not only we're stationed
in the north. but were also operating in
the Mediterranean and OF Gibraltar.
cANHoT BLOCKADE q 3, COAST.
THE Germans cannot hope 70 MAINTAIN
anything in the character Of blockade
Of the American coast. The distance =
too great from their bases, the Admiral
said.
The enemy has merely made demon
stration with the hope ri causing Us 20
decentralize our efforts 70 put down the
submarine. His object is 70 brighten the
American people in the hope that they
NAV exert their influence on their naval
authorities.
you viii remember that Napoleon
declared that 'exriusiveness Of purpose
Is the secret Of great successes ana oi
great operations Now, il the Germans
could cause 4 dispersal Of naval force this
demonstration Of the American coast
would achieve IS purpose.
