Daniels Not Worried.
Despite the double report Of sue
cess by the German U-boats, Secre-
| tary Daniels yesterday again stated
that the German undersea warfare is
| no longer a serious menace to the war
program OF the allies.
A prominent naval official said: 1T
is apparent that the strategy of the
1 n o1r a,
use of a German U-boat of the Vir-
coast. 1t would appear that the Ger
mans are extending every effort to
! sink one of our troop ships.
Such a sinking would be Of great
value to the Germans in sustaining
! the faith of their people in the atft.
ity Of the U-boats to Keep the Amer
ican troops from the battlefields OF
France.
"The Germans hope to force us tc
withdraw some of uur sea scouts from
European waters. But in this they
will fail. It is true that it is impos.
sible for.us to convoy every ship great
and small. on the American coas'
line. But our losses will not be great. .
The Temps Is Cheerful.
Dispatches from Paris yesterda,
0loted the Temps as stating thst
the fourth year of naval warfar,
clearly ends with success; the war
as far as the marine is concerned
must be considered as won"
The Paris papes then gives in detail
the amount Of tonnage sunk by tn,
Germans during last year and tn,
first two quarters of this year, show
ing that while in the second .hre,
months Of 1917 the Germans SAM
2.23I,4s4 tons. the total for the pas
three months was only 946,47S. II
closing 1t says. THE question of IL,
U-boat menace, which was considers,
by great many experts as incapable
of solution a year ago, is now solved
In the solution we can point not onl.
to the success of the navy In guard
ing the American transports. but ais,
to the great progress made In the re
covery of tonnage sunk"
