BI/KKAW KOT PROBABLE. Mmgimmdl Does Hot Think Gorman Mm Will Seriously Interfere With Overseas Traffic. London, June 15?German submarine activity off the Atlantic coast of the United States should not be taken very seriously as the Germans probably will not attempt a blockade of the American shores. This is the opinion of Vice Admiral Sir Kosslyn Wemyss, first sea lord of the Brit ISA aamirauy. ine aannrai neneves that there is only one submarine operating and that the purpose of its trip was to frighten the Americans. German ruthlessness at sea, the first sea lord declared, must be rriet by centralized warfare in the North Sea and the Mediterranean. Admiral Wemyss paid tribute to the co-operation of the American naval forces in European waters. He said the American ships nott only were stationed in the North but were also operating in the Mediterranean and off Gibraltar. In an interview given to Archibald 8. Hurd, the British naval writer, the admiral said: "This development should not be taken very seriously. If I were inclined to bet, I should say there has not been more than one submarine off the American coast. I may be wrong but that is the impression 1 have formed. That conclusion fits in with my interpretation of the enemys object. "The Germans cannot hope to gtiin anything in the character of a blockade. The distance is too great' from their baseB. "The enemy has merely made a demonstration with the hope of causing us to decentralize our efforts to put down the submarine. His object is to frighten the . \ -nerican people in the hope that they may exert their influence on their naval authorities. "You will remember that Napoleon *! O/t 1 t% * A #1 V* O "nvnllini tr/vnnnn f *\aiM VS^7X,iCfcI luai CAV.I UOIT CUCDfl Ul pui" pose is the secret of great success and of great operations," now, if the Germans could cause a disposal of naval forces this demonstration off the American coast would achieve its purpose. "I hold firmly to two principles. As chief of the staff I believe Tirmly in decentralization in administration but I also believe as firmly in the centralization of effort against the enemy. I think it was Admiral Mahan, who said that the greaat end of a war fleet is not to chase nor to fly, but to control the seas. "Now with that statement in mind glance at an ordinary school altlas. Any submarine to reach the American coast has to pass either to the north or south of the British Isles or along the Mediterranean where Gibraltar stands sentinel over the narrow exit. "That atlas is illuminating. It indicates sound strategic methods of dealing with the submarine campaign. We must fight the U-boat in the narrow seas. In other words we must centralize concentration ell our forces in what is really the decisive areas. "The Germans, to be sure, have been studying the charts and in sending one of their so-called submarine cruisers to the American ??????????? ore. us mi orr An All-year-' Soft Drinl I ** u-t T\1 _ iw llic tiueja Our boys in the navy e Bevo.

"Well, I Judge both from official information and cable despatches that they have already failed in their purpose. It looks as though they had merely brought war home to the American people, reminding them in this dramatic wav that the ???? are all one and that they have a common interest with us and the other allies in conquering the power which invented this modern form of piracy. That represents another defeat for the Germans. "We shall have to wait on eventB before final judment can be formed as to whether the enemy will persist in this new policy. I am inclined to take the business seriously. It cannot be serious in relation to the immense volume of Bea traffic between the United States and Eu| rope." o ? ? EIGHT THOUSAND ON CASUALTY LIST. Department Gives Totals for Overseas Forces. Washington, June 16?Seven hundred and seventy casualties reported among the American expeditionary forces during the week ending today brought the total since American troops first landed in France nearly a year ago to 8,085'. The second weekly summary of casualties issued today by the war re-, partment shows the total number of deaths from all causes is 3,192, while 4,547 men have been wounded |in action and 346 are missing in action, including all men helrl nrlcnn. ers in Germany. . The summary, which includes today's list follows: Killed in action (including 291 at sea), 1,172. , Died of wounds, 364. Died of disease, 1,1234. Died of accident and other causes, 422. Wounded in action, 4,547. Missing in action (including pris-; oners,) 3 46. Total casulaties reported to date, I 8,085. With more than 800,000 soldiers) sent over seas, officials pointed to) the small number, 291, lost through) operation of German submarines as! showing the effectiveness of the j convoy system. The men lost were1 on the torpedoed British steamers j Tuscania and Moldavia. The comparatively small nv. :.uer of men dying from wounds is pointed to as indicating the efficiency of the ambulance and hospital systems, while the fact that only 1,234 men have died of disease is accepted as proof of the excellent physical condition of America's fighting men. Another satisfying consideration is that of the wounded men a very high percentage returned to duty at the front in less than six weeks. 8he Is the Rose. "vome, ana l will 8how you what Is beautiful.

William Williams hated nicknames.He used to say that most fine given . names were ruined by abbreviation/ which was a sin and a shame. "I, myself," he said, "am one of six brothers. We were all given good ohl-fash-' loned Christian names, but all of those names were shortened into meaningless or feeble monosyllables by our friends. I shall name my children so that it will be impracticable to curtail their names." The Williams family, in the coarse of time, was blessed with five children, all boys. The oldest was named after the father?William. Of course that could be shortened to "Will" or enfeebled to "Willie"?but wait! A second son came, and was christened Wlllard. "Aha!" chuckled Mr. Williams. "Now everybody will have to speak the full name of each of these boys, in ordtr to distinguish them." -in pursuance of this scheme, the next three sons were named Wllbert, Wilfred . nil Wilmot.
