THE SUBMARINES PROWESS
Gcrmany's New Secret Designed Un.
Ger the Sea Craft Demonstrated
Again Today.

London, March 1.-THE prowess
of Germany's new secret designed
submarines was demonstrated in a
striking fashion today. The admi-
rally announced that submarine
undoubtedly of the U-29 type had
circled Ireland and torpedoed the
Glasgow steamer Atalanta off Inish-
turk on the west coast OF county Gal
way. At the same time it was an
nounced that the Leith steamer Fin
gal had been torpedoed in the North
Sea with loss of six men. Twenty
one other members of the Fingals
crew we're saved. To perform its
surprising feat off the west coast of
Ireland the German raider must have
had radius of at least 5000 miles,
The admiralty does not accept the
theory that the German submarine
has base near the British coast.
This tends to confirm the rumors at
the beginning of the war that the
newest German submarines were
equipped to dash across the Atlantic
ocean II necessary to attack British
shipping.

there are more orphans in the insti-
