Germany has brought the great war to the very doors of the United States. Two Teuton submarines have sunk at least seven Amer ican vessels within seventy-five miles of the Atlantic coast during the last twenty-four hours, according to the most dependable reports, and this number may be increased to fifteen. The captain of a Canadian Pacific liner arriving here today reported that two tank steamers were sunk by German sub marines about 150 miles off Sandy Hook between 7 and 8 o'clock last -night. , v J TheU-boats are operating along the New Jersey coast and have been reported as far north as Nantucket Shoals. The schooners Edward H. Cole and Jacob S. Haskell are two of the vessels destroyed, while a third ship is known to have fallen prey to the German raiders. The steamship Carolina was attacked while en route from Porto Rico with 220 passengers, according to reports received at Washington, New -York and Boston. The Boston Chamber of Commerce had a report that the Carolina was sunk. The Washington and New York reports said she was being shelled. The submarines were only seventy-five miles off Atlantic Highlands when they destroyed the schooner Cole with bombs. The attacks by the submarines were made yesterday. TheNavy Department at Washington announced that the Carolina S. 0. S. came yesterday, instead of today, as first announced. At the same time it was stated that the navy had had no report of any attacks today. Virtually all of the information given out during the day was in the Navy Department's possession last night. Following the announcement of the activity of the U-boats on this side of the Atlantic the ports of New York and Boston were closed, with certain exceptions, by order of Secretary Daniels. The port of Philadelphia was also closed, but was reopened later. One of the steamships concerning which there is much anxiety is the City of Columbus, from Savannah to Boston, with several passengers and a large, valuable cargo. The New York Maritime Exchange was reported to have a list of about fifteen vessels attacked or destroyed by raiders.' The list was reported bein gheld until it Ifad been checked over with the Navy Department, and this afternoon officials of the Exchange refused to admit they had such a list. The schooner Wiley was reported shelled by a submarine. First news of the ocean pirates was given by the captain and crew of the schooner Cole, who were picked up at sea and brought to this port. They told of the two U-boats hav ing appeared and given them ten minues to take to the life boats, after which the vessel was sunk. The report rom Boston this afternoon that a United States destroyer had captured one of the submarines was not confirmed. Vessel Nearing Port The liner reporting the destruction of the- tankers carried lp passen gers on her maiden voyage. She was traveling In a slow convoy. Last night at 7 o'clock, when the pas sengers -were giving a dinner to the captaih,"awireless message was re ceived, saying: "We are being attacked by a sub marine." The sender of the S. O. S. flashed the name of his vessel and-its exact location also, but these facts were not dKeloaed. Wireless Flashes News A few minutes later came another wireless: t "Wehave been torpedoed." (The captain ordered his liner to Jeaya the convoy and ma'ke with all rjM nearest port. TAMERS VICTIMS; i other fast ships also broke away from the convoy, and with all lights dimmed ma'de a dash for safety. The dinner to thoaptain broke up. Pas sengers donned their lifebelts and were ordered to their stations be side the lifeboats. Half an hour later, as the liner was speeding thiough the night, another wireless message came: "We are attacked." This message gave the name of another tank steamer, also its lo cation. The liner could not turn from its course to go to the rescue. The last heard from the second vessel was a brief fjash very faint: "We are sinking. S O S."
