Two British Ships
Sunk by Submarines;
Mine Destroys Third
London Stunned by New Disaster
Following Loss Of the Bulwark-
Admiralty Cannot Still Rumors
That 6attleship Was Blown
Up by Torpedo.

London.-A thrill OF apprehension
ran through London when 1t was
learned that, following hard on the
mysterious destruction Of the battle
ship Bulwark at S~heerness, three
British ships had been blown up in
English waters.
German submarines, operating off
Hayre, were responsible for the loss
Of two merchant vessels, while the
collier Khartoum was sunk, accord.
Ing to the Admiralty, by a mine near
Grimsby.
The repeated successes of the
Ka!sar's submarines have stunned
the public. Their achievement off
Havre, which would indicate the
under-sea craft passed with IMMUNITY
the Straits Of Dover, a shallow pas.
sage only twenty-ohe miles wide, have
aroused the liveliest fears as to the
extent OF their powers.
Doubt Bulwark Story.
In spite OF the repeated assurance
Of the Admiralty that the Bulwark
could not have been q victim of a
submarine, the general public is far
from convinced that such was not the
case.
The crew Of the collier Khartoum
was taken on and landed at Grimsby.
