WATCH The SUB.
Desperate Drive on Shipping
Expected as Peace Fails.
Allied Naval Officials Confer
ON Plans of Action.
SAY U-BOATS CANNOT WIN
Any Campaign Now Would
Lose, as Have Others.
Sir Eric Geddes, English Sub
Specialist, in U. s..
SAY U-BOATS CANNOT VII

Washington, Oct. S.-Realizing that
Germany is likely to start desperate
U-beat drive against transports and
troop ships if her peace offensive fails,
American naval officials and British
First Lord of theAdmiralty Geddes be-
gan comforting here today over COM
bative measures.
Indications point to the loosening of
practically every U-boat in the Teuton
service against the allied supply lines.
However, authorities believe that
this effort like its predecessors, is
doomed to failure on the whole, be-
cause of reduced U-boat efficiency.
Factors making the forthcoming
campaign less dangerous than previous
operations were pointed out today as:
Cd Personnel of U-boats is dis
rupted, SO much that submarines are
now rated as only one-fifteenth as eff
fective as at the start of the war.
co Submarines have been driven
from the coast and must operate far
out at sea where their prey is more
scattered.
90 They have been forced to leave
the channel bases and operate around
the North sea reducing their effective
mileage one-third.
"a Defensive armament and the
convoy system nave maze successful
attack more difficult
More German submarines are now
in operation than at any time during
the war and construction is believed to
be advancing steadily.
Because of the heavy protection
given to troop ships and supplies from
America, the work of hunting down
the submarine has been interfered
with to some extent and the actual
destruction of U-boats has probably
decreased, altho the effectiveness of
the submarine has been reduced at the
same time.
determination of the Flanders sub
marine flotilla is one of the biggest
forward steps in the anti-submarine
campaign, members of the British
naval~pnission declared today. Block
ing of the Ostend and Zeebrugge re-
pair bases by sinking of British war
vessels. destroyed these Ravens COM
pletely for some time.
British airmen dropping an average
of seven tons of explosives daily over
these forced their abandonment.
U-boats are now operating out of
Wilhelmshaven, near Heligoland, but
they are forced to go out thru the
North sea, cutting over 80 per cent
from their effective cruising radius.

troops continued their advance east Of
the Argenne until late Monday night,
After the capture of Chatel Chehrey
they gained further ground.
The advance was aided somewhat
by the use of smoke bombs and a
heavy fog. Aplatoon of Minenwerfers
was captured. During the night pa
trolling was active. There was inter-
mittent artillery fire during the night
on account of movements behind the
enemy lines.
Fresh Form of Guile.

Communicated chief of the Italian
army, has issued a general order re-
minding his soldiers that the enemy
still is on Italian, French and Belgian
soil, and calling on them not to be

peace, but to hold themselves in readi-
ness to completely crush the enemy If

Near st. Quentin, Oct. 8.-American
troops going into battle in conjunction
with the. fourth British army on the
st. Quentin Cambria front today, att
tackled near the point where the last
line of the Hindenburg system already
had been smashed. The early reports
indicated that progress was being
made despite stiff machine gun oppo-
Sition.
simultaneously the third british
army attacked on the front from Cam
brai south along the continuation of
the Masnieres- Beaurevoir line There
was frontal attack on this line and
at the same time an effort to turn 1t
at its northern extremity.
The attacks of the two armies were
converging operations, the general di-
rection of the thrusts being northeast
ward. The assault was accompanied
by one of the most terrific lombard
ments of the war, the massed British
cannon firing wheel to wheel.
