NAVY WILL INVESTIGATE
LONG STAY OF U-BOATS
GERMAN THRUST NEARS VALLEY OF THE OISE
Washington, June 11.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels and
Admiral William S. Benson, chief of
operations, determined that a most
thorough Inquiry should be made for a
possible explanation of the continued
presence of German submarine raiders
off the American coast for seventeen
days, In the facrf of the previous con
viction that U-boats could not remain
away from their bases for such a long
period.
Following a conference with Admiral
Benson last night. Rear Admiral Wins
low, chief inspector of naval districts,
left Washington presumably for a tour
of the naval stations, which have re
ceived passengers and crews of subma
rine victims.
It was learned that the German un
dersea raiders are believed by naval
officers to be about 250 feet In length
and having a cruising radius of about
7000 miles. Officials plainly are puzzled
over the continued operations of the
submarines In American waters. In this
connection It was learned through an of
ficial dispatch from Paris that the prob
lem of the Germans carrying their war
fare to United States and going on other
far-distance cruises has been the sub
ject of a special study by the Allied ad
miralties. It was stated that tho Allied
naval leaders have been able to estab
lish with precision the operatlons-tjf two

NEW PLEDGE TO MEXICO
GIVEN BY THE PRESIDENT
Immediately withdrawing the troops I '
might give you substantial proof of the
truth of the assurances that I liad giv
en your Government through President
Carranza,
"And at the present time It distresses
'., me to learn that certain Influences,
l which 1 assume to be German In their
, origin, are trying not only to make a
'' wrong Impression but to give an abso
lutely untrue account of the things that
happen.
' . "Y6u know distressing things have
been happening Just off our coast; you
v know of vessels that have been sunk.
'" ' 1 yesterday received a quotation from
a' paper In Guadalajara which stated
that thlrteerfof our battleships had been
'; sunk off the Capes of Chesapeake.
"You see how dreadful It Is to have
the people so radically misinformed. It
i was added that our Navy Department
v was withholding the facts with regard
j' to these sinkings. I have no doubt that
the publisher of the paper printed this
' in perfect Innocence and without in-
tending to convey a wrong Impression.
but It Is' evident that allegations of that
sort proceed from those who wish to
make trouble between Mexico and, the
United States.
Disinterested Service
"Now, gentlemen, for the time being
at any rate, and I hope that It will
not be a short time, the influence of
the United States is somewhat pervasive
in the affairs of the world, and I believe
It Is pervasive because those nations of
the world which are less powerful than
some of the greatest nations, are coming
to believe that our sincere desire Is to
do -disinterested service.
"We are the champions of those na
tions which have not had the military
landing which would enable them to
compete with the strongest nations In
the world, and I look forward with,
pride to the time which I hope will
L come when we can give substantial evl-
ii dence not only that we do not want any
3 hlnr' mit r,t this war hut that we
1$ would not accept anything out of this
war'; that It Is absolutely a case oi
disinterested action.
' "And If you will watch the attitude
of our people you will see that nothing
,'' rtlra them so deeply as tne ast-urances
if that this war, so far as we are con
J cerned. Is for Idealistic objects. One
k or the difficulties that I experienced
$ durfng.the first three years of the war.
the yearo when me unnea oiaiea
not In the war, was In getting the For
eign Offices of the European nations
to believe that the United States was
reeking nothing for herself, that her
neutrality was" not selfish and that If
Rh came In she would not come in to
,( get anything substantial out of the
V- war any material object, any territory
r. c-r trade or anything else of that sort,
j ",In some Foreign Offices there were
ximen who personally know me and they
'.' believed, I hope, that I was sincere in
' assuring them that our purposes were
disinterested; but they thought that
theue assurances cams from an aca

f? speaking the real heart of tho American
Vpeople. and I knew all, along that X was.
I . ,Now" I believe every one wrio comes in
BF
ship toward Mexico. Some of us, If I
may speak so privately, look back with
regret upon some of the more ancient
relations that we have had with Mexico
long before our generation ; and Amer
ica, If I may now so accept It, would
now feel ashamed to take advantage of
her nelghhor.
"So I hope you can carry back to
your homes something better than assur
ance and words. You have had con
tact with our people. You know of your
own personal reception. You know how
gladly we have opened to you the doors
of every establishment that you wanted
to see ana nave snown you Just what
we are doing, and I hope you have
gained the right Impression as to why
we are doing it. We are doing It,
gentlemen, so that the world may never
hereafter have to fear the only thing
that any nation has to dread the un
just and selfish aggression of another
nation.
Proposes Agreement
"Some time ago, as you probably all
know, I proposed a sort of Pan-American
agreement. I had perceived th&t one dif
ficulty in our past relations with Latin
America was this: The famous Monroe
Doctrine was adopted without your con
sent and without the consent of any
Central American of South American
states. If I may spetk In terms that
we so often use In this country, we said:
We are going to be your big brother
whether you want us to be or not."
"We did not' ask whether It was acre..
able to you that we should be your big
Droiner. wo saia we are going to be.
Now, that was all very well as far as
protecting you from aggression from the
other side of the water, but there was
nothing In It that protected you from
aggression from us, .-ind I have repeated
ly seen an uneasy feeling on the part
of representatives of States of Central
and South America that our self-appointed
protection might be for our own
benefit and our own Interest and not for
the Interest of our neighbors. So I have
said:
" 'Very well, let us made an arrange
ment by which we will give bonds. Let
us have a common guarantee that all
of us will sign a declaration of political
Independence and territorial Integrity.
Let us agree that If any one of us, the
United States Included, violates the po
litical Independence or territorial integ
rity of any of the others, all others
will Jump on her.'
"I pointed out to some gentlemen who
were less Inclined to enter into this
arrangement than others that that was.
In effect, giving bonds on the part of
the United States that would enter into
an arrangement by which you would
be protected from us.
Now, that Is the kind of agreement
that will have to be the foundation of
the future life of the nations of the
world, gentlemen. The whole family of
nations will have to guarantee to each
nation that" no nation shall violate Us
political Independence or Its territorial
Integrity. That Is the basis tho only
conceivable basis for the future peace
of the world, and I must admit that I
was anxious to have the States of the
two continents of America show the way
to the rest of the world as to how to
make a basis of peace.
Teace Only My Trait
"Peace can only come, by trust. If
you can once get a situation, of trust
then you have got a situation of perma
nent peace. Therefore every one of us.
It seems to me, owes It as a patriotic
duty to his own country to plant the
seeds of trust and confidence' Instead of
seeds .of suspicion".

Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger
CopiriaM, ion. by .V Vorfc Tlmtt Co.
With the Allied righting Armies,
June 11.
The most bitter fight In which the
Americans have yet engaged was over
the possession of Belleau -wood north
at Bouresches. This hill, which was a
stronghold of German Infantry and ma
chine gunners, had been a very sore
spot to the American lines since the cap
ture of Bouresches In the big advance
two days ago.
Tho Americans, unable to rid the
rocky woods of German machine-gun
nests, advanced beyond, occupying the
hill on the other side of the wood. But
a good many boches remained In the
woods and Inflicted considerable losses
on the Americans. At night the boches
made a strong attack to take back the
woods, so as to maintain strongholds
and1 also lines of communication.
This attack was met by mariner.
After the attack the situation was about
the same as before the dash was made.
While the attack was being made the
Americans were at work on plans to
comb the woods In an enormous artillery
performance, assisted by the French.
Later ucores of guns were rawing tne
woods on a mathematical plan to rid It
of the last boche.
Blr Artillery Action
The area of the hill was developed
Into big checkerboard arrangement,
with a particular spot for the work of
each battery. More than 5000 hlgh
exploslvo and gas shells were thrown
Into the wood in tne Diggest artillery
action In which Americans had yet been
engaged.
Americans hourly conducted minor
week.
The boche launched a determined at
tack against Hill 204, west of Chateau
Thierry and commanding the town. The
northern side of the hill. Its unimportant
side, was held by the boche. who sent
forces around both sides and over the
top against the Joint American and
French forces, holding the crest and the
valuable sides. The Germans were re
pulsed and Franco-American troops held
the hill. At 3 o'clock In the morning
the Germans made another attack
stronger than the first. Meanwhile extra
American machine gunners got on the
Job, and the second attack was a com
plete failure.
French officers highly praise the co
operation of the American Infantry in
this attack. East of Chateau-Thierry
for six hours American Infantry holding
the front lines to the right of the ma.
rlnes repulsed two strong attacks by the
Germans to force them away from a po
sition commanding the Parts road.
General Pershing sent to the general
commanding the American forces north-
west of Chateau-Thierry a message ot
congratulations for the splendid conduct
of the attack on the German lines north
of that village, saying It was a magnifi
cent example ot American courage and
dash.
The American soldiers arc anxious to
keep on going at the enemy despite con
siderable losses. They have taken scores
of them, and are now imbued with the
one Idea that one American can "lick"
any German sent against him, be It
Prussian, Saxon or Bavarian. They say
the boche Is a good fighter while win
ning, but a bad loser. Therefore, the
proper way to win is to make him al
ways lose.
It has been established that the Ger
mans have moved in opposite the left of
the American crack divisions. Ono of
the German divisions is the Fifth Guard
Division, one ofithe finest In the German
army. There are other Indications of
strong concentration of German forces
In front of the Americans. The First
Guard Division, Second Guard Division
and Twenty-eighth German Division, .all
crack troops, have arrived In front of
our lines.
There Is every Indication that the Ger
mans do not Intend to rest content with
holding the lines they have now. Never
theless, this sector is being strongly for
tified by tho French and Americans and
strengthened by every means.
However. It Is possible that the plan of
attack In force indicated by tho shifting
of the Guard Divisions to the front of
the Americans may be changed by Allied
preparations. Just as the planned Ger
man drive at Amiens was abandoned
after the Allies strengthened their lines.
However, the Americans are waiting for
whatever the enemy may do.
Germans Learn Something
The German general staff is showing
less and less stomach for attacks against
good soldiers In good positions and they
now realize the fighting qualities of tthe
Americans, who for the last week have
been holding the lines to Paris north
west of Chateau-Thierry.
The Germans' policy Is to look for soft
spots, and the Americans lare determined
that the sectors they held shall not be
rightfully known as soft spots. The be
havior of Pershing's men for the last
week Is gloriously indicative of what
Is coming for the German army. Cap
tured German soldiers admit that tho
men In their ranks consider America the
biggest factor In the war henceforth,
because they are gradually learning that
German officers were lying when they
told their men that Americans would
not fight.
Nothing in the situation is "more cheer
ing than the behavior of the officers of
the Americans for the last week. Many
of these stepped from civilian life into
Plattsburg training camps last year and
are now good fighting olncers. One
such is Lieutenant W. M. Leonard, who
has been cited for bravery He took
part In the capture of Bouresches. With
forty-three men he was caught In a
