of that schooner received ten min
utes to abandon their craft and
managed to do it in one-half that
time. The schooner then was blown
up by bombs placed aboard by Ger
mans from the submarine cruiser.
The men of the Cole described the
raiders which overhauled their ves
sel, one on either side, as the most
formidable submarines they ever
had seen. They carried large guns
fore and aft and a smaller gun
amidships, the rescued men said,
and were about 250 feet in length.
One U. S. Vessel Shows Fight
That at least or.e of the larger
American vessels accosted by the
underseas pirates showed fight is in
dicated by the reports brought ashore
by the crew of the Edward H. Cole.
They said they heard firing in the
distance and believed the submarine
was the victor in the combat, and
that later the same U-boat destroyed
a big steamship after several hours
of sustained firing in the same
vicinity.
In all the attacks reported there
is no evidence of a torpeflo having
been used. Vessels reported sunk
were disposed of cither by shell fire
after they had been abandoned by
their passengers and crews, or else
by bombs placed in the holds by the
Germans. It is supposed the enemy
is conserving his available stock of
torpedoes in the hope of expending"
them later upon larger game, pref
erably troop transports.

navy officials expressed the belief that
three submarines had been engaged.
Germany's submarine raids on Amer
ican waters vvas designed to stop over
seas troop movements. Washington offi
cials were completely convinced of this
fact today. The object already has
failed. It vvas stated. There has been
and will be no halt in transport sailings.
They will proceed according to plans
perfected Ions ago for just such an
emergency. The American aid, pledged
by President Wilson and General Perch
ing to the Entente, will be forthcoming
on time.
Meanwhile officials of the navy Insist
ed today that the submarine menace will
be met and coped with In the very neir
future. The steps already taken promise
success, they said. Because of the very
ntcure of the work, however. Informa
tion as to what vvas being done must be
w Ithheld.
Secretary Daniels said he had told the
Naval Committee yesterday that the
navv had believed an occasional sub
marine might get through to this coun
try But, he added, one or two or more
may be now engaged In an effort to
draw the American fire from the Euro
pean side. The Secretary vvas loath to
discuss the subject of possible U-boat
communication with the American shore
Germany has failed to gam any mili
tary advantage from her spectacular
U-boat raids off the American coast.
And. If she Intended to terrorize the
American mind, she has failed likewise
to accomplish that.
These two facts stood out In bold re
lief today in the wake of the startling
news that Teuton U-boats had been op
erating since May 25 off our coast, bag
ging probably twelve or more vessels of
various types, but missing any cargo or
troop transports.

roar from the hold and then the boilers
blew up. The old ship quivered and
keeled and then went down b- the

there was a rush of flro from the stack

U-Hoat Larger Than Texel
Chief Engineer Peterson hesitated
about making a guess as to tho dimen
sions of the submersible.
"All I know about that," he said, "Is
that the Texl was 264 feet long and
1 should say the U-boat vvas longer
than that "
Tho Texel had carried a cargo of
coal to the Caribbean and was return
ing from Ponce with 5800 tons of su
gar Her net tonnage was 3500 tons
nnd ever.v available bit of space was
filled with cargo Tetorson said the
cargo was believed to bo worth J800,
000. Captain Lowry's Story
Captain K. B. Ixivvry, of Brooklyn,
before he vvas silenced bv a young
naval officer In charge of a patrol
ship, who said he vvas acting on orders
from Rear Admiral Helm, of tho
rourth Naval District, Philadelphia,
said!
"We were about sixty miles off New1
York harbor Sunday afternoon. Tne
sea vvas calm and there vvas no sign
of any hostile submarines.
"Suddenlj-, without a moment's
warning, u U-boat loomed up offl
the bow. Tt fired three, rounds of
shrapnel. The hall of exploding shells
swept the deck like rain.
"The U-boat vvas but fifty feet away,
so close that It almost crashed Into
the lifeboats that were later lowered.
"When tho shrapnel struck us 1
stopped.
"The skipper of the U-boat, who
came aboard speaking clear English,
cried:
" 'Let me see your papers! '
"I turned the ship's papers over to
him.
"He looked at them for a moment,
then turning curtly on his heel said:
" 'Wo will give j ou time to get off,
then vve shall sink your vessel.'
"There vvas no attempt to get the
men," Captain Lowry declared.
"We manned two boats, and every
bodj' was saved When vve vveie leav
ing, the submailne nearly crashed
Into us. The captain ordered our crew
to back away safely out of the wa'."

Harry Lauder
please answer
Is a Scot ever funny to a Scptch
man ?
Does Harry Lauder laueh over
"TAM O" THE SCOOTS"
the way other people do ?
Does he find the same charm in
his dapper daring fellow country
man who is so close with little
thine, and so eoreeously reckless
with life itself in his aeroplane ?
The "Tarn O' Ths Scoots" series
are the most utterly funny and lovable
short stories now beine printed.
They are to Everybody! what
Harry Lauder is to the stage.
You'll find one of them in the June
