PAW;ETT. CAPT. JOHSf M. HICKEY. Hun U-Boat Dash to U. S. Dismal Failure-Army Man Officer, Just Home, Believes Raids Xot Ended, and Air Attacks Will Begin, Only to Make Nation Mad. "Germany's tirst campaign of fright fulness against the United States has been a dismal failure," said an army officer who has just returned from the western front. This officer was in Paris when the 73-mi!e gun first went into action, and came through the submarine zone while the submarine raiders were off the Atlantic coast the first week of their best operations. "The submarine raids on America have come to stay," continued the officer, "but they will have no more military effect than have the air raids on Great Britain and the long-range bombardments of French people at their prayers. "A1 the navy officers and anyone who has been watching the develop ment of the submarine had been awaiting the appearance of submarine raiders off this coast for months. It was simply a matter of development. Either the submarines must be built with a cruising radius of 10.000 miles, some base must be established close to the Atlantic seaboard, or mother shipg must accompany them. It was bound to come. Which of the three is the secret, we do not know, but it is probably the development of the long-range submarine." A rrompllikfd Nothing. "But "what have they accomplished? Sank a few tankers, took one mer chant ship and possibly may have sunk the Cyclops with all on board. Granting that, it would mean that Germany has been able to destroy i one cargo of manganese and a few, lives in three months* effort and with certain losses and waste of men, ma terial and money. "The parallel with the air raids on i cities and the 75-mile gun is exactly the same. It took the long-range gun two days of constant, incessant bom- I bardment to destroy twenty people: j with little of the terrible moral effect that might at first be aunposed to accompany it. _ . "Those shells dropped into Paris at almost regular intervals, but they Y.W.C.A.'S BUSY WEEK; INTERESTING EVENTS * Fetes. Picnics, Sports: Country Club Open to Members. I r V. W\ C.

"Air raids on our coast are not at all impossible or improbable. We hear that the Germans have a sub I marine airplane launch from the. vessel. That Is. of course, possible I and probable. But what can it ac ; complish? j "It would take a submarine at I least an hour to get an airplane out of her bold and assemble it on the I water, and they would have to have clear weather. The airman would 1 be able to make a tlight and possibly j drop a few bombs; but his Chance I of returning: to his vessel would be small. Certainly he wcwld not b?' able to do it in the day-time, with the destroyers and patrol moving ! up and down. ! "His chances at night would be one in ten million. The airplane, of course, would be lost. The sub marine would stand abcut one change out ot fifty in lying1 off the coast long enough for assembing the plane and then waiting for the airman to return. "The submarines undoubtedly will come from time to time, but they cannot enter a port, for rea sons very well known. Their first appearance has been a military failure, but a most excellent thing in molding the determination of the people of this country to carry, to the successful cad the war against a cowardly, dastardly *em pei^r, who believes in warfare on helpless woman and children."

COUNSEL TAKE UP 7 TREASON AND SPY CASES O'Leary Charges Probed by Government Attorneys Who Claim Proofs. The Government*s case against Jere miah A. O'Leary and six other per son*. Indicted Friday in the United States district court at New York on charges of conspiracy to commit treason against the United States and to commit espionage, was the subject of lengthy conferences yesterday be tween Francis G. Gjiffnej\ United States district attorney for southern New York, and John Lord O'Brian, special assistant to Attorney General Gregory for war work. There were indications, fallowing the conferences, that additional ar rests are planned. This could not l?e officially confirmed, however. Both officials declined to give out any defi nite information owing to the delicacy of the case. CoBrlnalvf Evidence. Mr. O'Brian stated that the cas^a against O'Leary and the six other de fendants would be handled as local matters by the New York district at torney's office. The plan of prose cution was gone over thoroughly, and it is understood the Department of Justice believes it has conclusive evi dence. None of the information on which the indictments were based had been obtained directly or indirectly from any foreign government, said Attor ney General Gregory. Nor was any of the information disclosed to any foreign government, he stated. Gilbert Wilson Will Lead Big "Sing" Today Gilbert Wilson, song leader at the big marine cantonment at Quantlco.

DANIELS' VIEWS ON RANK FOR MARINES Says High Grade Should Be Given Only for War Reasons. Extraordinary promotion !n the navy will only be accorded for rea sons directly connected with the war. according to Secretary Daniel*. He admitted yesterday that he had asked the Senate committee to withdraw from the naval bill the provision mak ing MaJ. Gen. Barnett, commandant of the Marine Corps, a lieutenant general, and the officers of his staff major generals. Mr. Daniels said to day: "I regret very much that I cannot acceed to giving this reward to Gen. Barnett for the very excellent services he has performed as commandant of the Marine Corps. My personal rela tions with him are such that I doubly regret it. But, when the Senate com mittee asked my opinion of this pro vision, I was obliged to dissent. I told them I was opposed to any legis lation resulting In the promotion of individual officers. 1 believe that pro motion of this sort should come at this tim?- only for strictly military reasons, directly connected with the war." Mr. Daniels explained that the army had got on without a lieutenant gen eral when it had had many more men than the Marine Corps now has. He declared that the office should only be created when the war re quired it. The report that MaJ. Gen. Harbard, of the army, is in command of the marines in France was explained by Mr. Daniels today when he said that Gen. Harbard was tilling in between the relief of Gen. Doyen and the as sumption of his command by his suc cessor. Gen. LeJeune. Complaint has been made In Ma rine Corps circles that Influences *n the army and navy unfriendly to the Marine Corps, have been responsible for the failure of the department to endorse the giving of rank to ma rine officers equal to that given offi cers in the army and navy.
