the ship building program were be
littled by Vice Admiral von Chapelle'.
German mlulater of the navy . In hie
speech In the relchstag a tew weeks
ago, aa reported by German news
paers received here.
"The military help of America in
the first year of the war waa very
little regarding troops and air
planes,'; deolared von Cauelle. "The
expectation of our enemlea haa been
greatly disappointed. It America
later wanta to maintain half a mil
lion troopa in France it will need
permanently a freight apace (In
steamships) or about 2,000,000 tons
which again would be depreciated
from the service of, supplying her al
lies. "According to American and Brit
ish statementa, the participation of
auch a large army la' no longer In
volved In this campaign.
' "In prder to carry out the gigantic
Anverloan program of shipping con
structlon, the shipyards must first
be built. In 1 917 America, follow-
Ing all her huge promises built 50,
000 gross tons of sea-going ships.
Tha large merchant fleet which Am
erica haa ordered Is not being built
tor the war but In ordr to take the
place of England as the world's ship -

The story of bow the Americans

German advance at Chateau Thierry
Is a mot remarkable one. The regl

back to Revolutionary days. Al

the United States waa the moat im-j fighting U-boats where they are op-
portant source of supplies for the'eratlng In large numbers and can be
entente nations but, he added: "Ow-
ing to the tremendous armament
program of President Wilson, such
economic difficulties have developed'
that America, the land of export,
muat now begin to ration herself In-
stead, aa had been hoped, to aid the
entente natlona in increasing mea
sures. All In all, it can be said that
the economic difficulties ot our ene
mlea have been Increased by Amer
ica's entrance Into the war.
In reply to charges that, the, Ger
man submarine building program
was not progressing aa rapidly aa It
should, von Capelle admitted that
Oermany's enemlea had attained cer
tain successes In this defensive

he added, "they have at no time af
fected the U-boat warfire In , an:
way decisively and, ncoi-ding to
foresight will not be a'-ik- to do so In
the future.
"The Amerl.an
U-boat chaser
over which much fuss has been made
are a failure.
"The convoy system which gives

SUBM4RINE RAID IS
uondon, June t. In a statement
today Archibald Hurd. the well
known writer on naval affairs, took
the view that the German submarine
operations off the American coast
were Intended to try to draw Amer
lean naval vessel from . European
waters.
"The raid waa not undertaken,"
aald Mr. Hurd, "with th Idea of ob
taining direct military reaulta, but
mainly as a demonstration. After
nearly tour years of warfare, the
German mind can be read with a
fair degree of accuracy. It was as
sumed that the people of the Unit
ed States would be Intimidated, thai
they would demand possible mea
sure of protection, and that in or
der td satisfy public opinion the
navy department would reconsider
its plana for cooperation In hunting
down submarines In European
ters, even If some of the American
destroyers on duty on this side were
not Immediately recalled.
"The V-boat are having a very
hard time. Since the beginning of
March the enemy has more vessels
at sea than ever before. The number
destroyed has been larger actually
and relatively, and the loss in ton
nage since the beginning of the year
has been steadily reduced. American
vessels have contributed materially
In producing thla result, aa the Ger
