GE RMAN CRUISER
IS SUNK BY SUB
Fraueniob rs Said to Have
Been Victim of Diver
in Baltic Sea.

PETROGRAD, Nov. 20. - The
German cruiser Frauenlob has been
sunk by a submarine in the Baltic
sea, according to a semi official an
nouncement made here today.
The German cruiser Frauenlob,
reported sunk in the Baltic by a
submarine, was probably tOrpedOed
by one of the British underwater
boats that have been destroying
German shipping for several weeks.
The FrauenlOb, which displaced
2.672 tons, was a slow craft and
would have had little chance TO es-
cape from q speedy modern subma-
rine. The cruiser was built at Bre-
men in 1902 and carried 275 officers
and men. Its length was 32S feet.
The cruiser belonged to the same
class as the Undine. which was re-
Gently sunk. Petrograd dispatches
a few days ago told Of the destruc-
ton of another German cruiser off
Libau. These may have referred TO
Frauenlob. but it was officially de-
MED in Berlin yesterday that any
German warship had been lost off
Libau.
