'U-BOAT ATTACK
IMPORTANCE EXAGGERATED
(Received this day at 1.30 p.m.) LONDON, June 3
Mr Hurd “avs the importance of the appearance of German submarines in America may easily be exaggerated. They were sent in the hope of frightening the American people and also iu cheer up the German people who are disappointed at the results of the piracy. There Is nothing surprising in this development. The Germans for two years have possessed submarines capable of returning from Atlantic voyages ryithoiit refilling or revict.nlli'ig American nerves won’t he unset by Die demonstration. Germany cannot maintain a submarine campaign, 3500 nvk-s from the bases, therefore tiie visitation will necessary be spasmodic, and cannot seriously affect the Atlantic shipping. The enemy doubtless hopes to compel fresh naval 'dispositions, thereby weakening the patrol in European waters.
