BRITISH PRESS SAYS W DETERMAT10N LoNDON, June . The British press believes the submarine opera tions against the coast were Intended to lure back American destroyers and patrol boats from Kuropean waters, bua are confident that result is not accomplished.

The express said: "llrates hsve plenty of opportunity for mis chief in the western Atlantic. It Is possible sum American seaports will be bombarded. ,An extension of the campaign will mean some loss, with certain retribution and hardening of American determination. America can protect herself snd help us. too." The Oraphlc said. "This desperate search for Victims is a proof of the straits to which Germany la reduced.

Marcel Hutin, the French military expert, declared it is "clearly evident that action will de velop farther to the left of the present battlefront, probably in the Monte Didier and Noyon front.

British military l-writers agree the present slackening of the Marne offensive does not mean that Germany's effort is ended. It is merely a halt for bringing up artillery and to reorganise the transportation system before a next blow, which may change direction slightly but will still be toward Paris.
