The crew Of the Jason, the third traw-

rescued,
Contrary to the methods of the U.2S
in sinking her victims without warn
ing, the U.l0 showed the crews of the
trawlers every consideration, the men
declared when they arrived al New
castle. They were given ample time to
gather their belongings together and
leave the trawlers. The Germans
served them with coffee aud cigars

Of the German submarines has greatly

I line is being maintained in the North
Sea, however, was indicated today by
dispatches from Rotterdam. These re-
ports stated that several submarines
had been sighted within few miles OF
each other, maintaining strict patrol
Of the waters trayelsed by British
merchant vessels
While shippers, were demanding that
some action be taken to protect their
interests, the admiralty, practically adj

be expected from the submarines. The
belief was expressed that the Germans
are planning simultaneous attacks upon
all coasts Of Graf Britain in the hope
Of frightening the English. No mill
tary advantage can possibly bo
gained, the officials maintain, by such
tactics.
