German U-1s Sank the Durward

was the German submarine U-19. ac.
cording 10 adviees from Amsterdam
which torpedoed the Durward.
The London newspapers interpret the
sinking of the Durward as the begin
ming of German naval policy alleged
to have been urged by Admiral Won
Tirpitz, the German minister of the
navy against British merchant vessels.
The Evening Standard to-day
prints special article on the subject
pointing out that two small English
merchant ships recently were sunk of
Cherbourg which. together with the
present episode, the newspaper says
tends TO show the policy now being en-
forced lin an endeavor TO starve Eng
