Hint of Extensive Sea Patrol and
Daring Land Operations.
* er
W. L. Saunders, chairman of the
naval consulting board, announced
in New York Saturday that the board
had forwarded to Washington plans
for dealing with the submarine prob
lem, whicfi, it was believed, had solv
ed the problem successfully.
Mr. Sauhders, who has been chair
man of the naval consulting board
about two months, supplemented his
announcement by saying that while
the submarine problem can not be
considered in reality to have been
solved until the U-boats have been
destroyed, nevertheless numerous ex
periments had been made along the
Atlantic coast with highly encourag
ing results which led the board to
feel confident that a successful so
lution had been reached.,
**lt looks as though the submarine
problem has been solved." Mr. Saun
ders said, "not only in theory, hut
on the strength of practical testa on

Mr, Saunders added that S00 In

War department officials freely
predict that an American military
force, pro^jibly 20,000 strong, would
be ready-Wr service In France by
June 10. The army general staff is
now, It was said, considering the
work to be done in raising and dis
patching such a force. .'
War department officials estimate
that only four days will be required
to complete the registration and call
for the 600,000 men will then be is
sued.
The first concentratkm of the new
army is expected to Begin May 30,
and it is believed that within 10 days
from thep a force of 20,000 practi
cally tralhed men and officers could
be gathered for service In France.
The probability of this govern
ment being able to raise a force of
20,000 conscripts by June 10 has
caused doubt as to whether the first
trbops to be sent would be taken
from the regular army or the na
tional guard, as was formerly
planned.
Reports that the army general
staff has changed in Its attitude to
ward the plan and now favors send
ing a small fighting force to France
quickly were denied In W'ahlngton
Sunday. It was admitted, however,
that while the general staff sticks
to Its original contention that from
a military standpoint It would be a
serious mistake to send such an or
ganization. several staff officers have
become convinced that the other ad
vantages of the plan would probably
outweigh the military disadvantages.

Another period of Intensive fight
ing—the fourth since the spring of
fensive began—Is in progress be
tween the British and Germans over
a front of about 1 2 miles In the re
gion from the east of Vimy south-
warH tn
After their customary terrific ar
tillery preparation in which guns of
all calibres were used the British
along the entire front surged for
ward in the early hours of the morn
ing and throughout Thursday were
at grips with the enemy.
Nightfall found the British well in
possession of several points of vant
age which they had captured in the
face of moat stubborn resistance and
held with a withering Are of ma
chine guns and rifles against power
ful counter attacks.
Berlin asserts that the British at^
tempt to break through the German
line failed with heavy casualties.
The British war office makes no
clainythat the troops of Field Mar
shal Haig pierced the German front,
but it does assert that west of Que-
ant and near Chersy goodly salients
were driven into the line and that
the village of Fresnoy and enemy
positions north and south of the vil
lage on a front of two miles and a
trench system north of Oppy were
raptured and held by the British.
The taking of Fresnoy, which fell
to the lot of the intrepid Canadians,
who thus are shown to have pushed
bark the German line four miles
since their gallant capture of the
Vlmy ridge, glvee them the added
honor of having cut their way
through the famous Hindenbur’g lln
The Germans suffered severe losses
In the altarks all along the line nn4
also lost hundreds of men made

Two war allied commissions, sit
ting continuously—one In London
and the other here—appeared Mon
day as one of the first actual steps
to co-ordinate the powerful reeourcea
the United States brings into the war
with- those of-ttrerKTltes across the'
sea.
The commission in London, with
representatives of all the Allied na
tions, including the United States,
would receive and <dftci<ta upon the
apportionment of sea-borne traffic.
The commission here would then
charge itself with getting such sup
plies to the seaboard, eitheir by di
rect purchase or through r present
agencies. v
While the inroads of the subma
rine menace continue it is absolute-
y essential to conserve every ship
'or the most needed freight and the
only way that this can be done Is to
have the Allies make known theli
wants to a central body In London,
which shall have power to give
priority to the most pressing.
At the same time the commission
in this country, knowing exactly how
much was wanted, would buy In ju
dlclously and keep the railroad lines
open to the seaboard. So far the
Allies have confused thel^ own alt
uatlons to a certain extent In this
country, both by competitive buying
• nd by congesting the railroads and
terminals with supplies for which
there was absolutely no tonnage
available.

must be blockaded and p<‘netrated bave been at work for months on
and its U-boat inmaten destroyed and | VltrioUH reaearch studies and since
German naval bases also dealt with
effectively.
The naval consulting board ‘ be
lieved sufficiently In what had been
discovered and planned, he said, to
feel Justified in notifying the people
that the submarine Tear might bo
allayed. The project now’ before the
government “could be carried out
"within a reasonably short time,’-' he
said.
A telegram to the Associated Press
from Lawrence Addicks of Eliza
beth, N. J., chairman of the special
naval problems committee of the
consulting board, served to clear up
some misapprehensions concerning
Mr. Saunders’ statement. The mes
sage follow’s:.
"I fear some of the statements in
the morning papers regarding the
naval consulting board may unwit
tingly give wrong impressions re
garding progress mad6 in combatting
the submarine menace and that con
clusions are likely to be drawn that
the problem has been either fully
solved or given up aa hopeless.
"While it is evident tliat specific
information as to progress made

fcf (his flfne. as chairman of the com
mittee of the board dealing specifi
cally with the marine menace. I feel
justified in saying that good and aat-
Ufkctory progress has been made
and that we have now under practi
cal trial tome naval device# of great

pwde aed bwe wade* Be direct iwp the
the declaration of a state of war
with Germany have redoubled their
efforts to find a way to cope with
the U-boat menace.
In many instances naval experts
have been called into consultation
by the hoard members or have aided
in direct experiments. Every pre
caution has been taken by the de
partment, however, to prevent any
knowledge of the nature of the ex
periments from becoming ‘ public.
That policy will be pursued to pre
vent Germany from preparing
against any new weapons in ad
vance.
"I have great.faith that American
ingenuity will find a means of com
batting the submarines," said Secre-
tary Daniels Sunday night, "al
though I have in mind no special de
vice among the hundreds which
have tieen proposed to use to fight
the menace. I truly believe some
thing will be developed that will be
effective against the underwater
boats.
"Experts of the naval consulting
board and of the navy department
are
le devices which may go a
long way toward •giving us victory.
Some probably have merit, the oth
ers not. but all are given fair testa.
The precise nature ef any can not be
dlsclo^d of course **
The department Itself has done a
great deal of experimenting both
with deviewe for the dewtrwrtlon or
detection of submarine# and a too

there exists ulready one vacancy In

new general officers must be sp*
pointed xoon and the army bill pro-
• ides that the president may select
these men from any source. In any
event the present general officers Af
wide experience probably will be se
lected, as far as possible, to com
mand divisional camps.
The full strength of the National
Guard units now existing will be 9,-
S4 7 officers and 2.29,-954 men, giv
ing a total regular and National
Guard force to be whipped into
shape before the new army is called
of 21,080 officers and 622,954 men.
New units must be created, however,
to fill out tactical organizations and
probably the total of this first force
will exceed 700,000 active troops,
the regimental recruit battalions.
From this force will be formed
eighteen divisions corresponding to
the organization of the first - new
army. From it also e^rly in Sep
tember will be flrawn some 200,000
officers and non-commissioned offi
cers who will constitute the frame
work on which the new army will be
shaped. They will be with the ten
