BEGIN SUBSEA RAIDS
GOLDEN HORN BRIDGE BLOWN UP
BY BRITISH AND FRENCH
SUBMARINES.
coNsTANTlNoPLE CUT OFF
German Destroyer, Turk Steamer and
Two Ottoman Transports Are Sent
to Bottom by British Undersea Yes
sells Say British Admiralty Reports.

London, Aug. 4.-Great Britain and
France have started to carry the sub
marine war to Germany. From the
Dardanelles to the North sea the al
lies undersea craft have opened a
campaign against the Germans and
Turks which already has cut Constan-
tinople off from Asia, thrown the city
into terror and sunk German tor
pedo-boat destroyer, a 3,0O0-ton Turk
ish steamer and two Turkish trans
ports.
One French and a second British
submarine, according to official an
nouncements on Monday, augmented
by press dispatches, succeeded in
forcing the Dardanelles and dashing
past Constantinople into the Sea of
Marmora. Within sight of the Turk
ish capital the submarines shelled and
blew up the Galata bridge across the
Golden Horn, connecting Constantine
pie with Asiatic Turkey, according to
a dispatch to the Times from Mitylene.
To add to the terror of the Turks
the British submarine then stole into
the harbor and almost under the walls
of the Top-Kaneh arsenal in Constan-
tinople, where it sent torpedo into
transport and sent it to the bottom.
The craft followed this by sinking an
other transport in Karabogha bay.
According to dispatches from Mu-
dros this exploit threw the entire
Turkish capital into terror.
The feat of the British submarine,
as announced by the admiralty. has
added another exploit to the annals of
warfare by bombarding shore posi-
tons with torpedoes. Turkish powder
mills and the railway of Kara Barnu,
along the Sea of Marmora, were at
tackled
Another admiralty statement says:
"A British submarine has returned
and reports the sinking of German
torpedo-boat destroyer, believed to be
of the G-196 class, on July &c, near the
German coast"
