TWO SHIPS SUNK BY
PLUNGERS is BELIEF
Havre Shipping Circles Con-
clude Oriole and Trader Met
Up With Submarines.

Havre, Via Paris), Feb. 15.-Ship-
alng circles here now consider 1t
practically certain that the British
steamer. Oriole. was torpedoed and
sunk by a German submarine. The last
time the Vessel'i is known to have been
seen was at , p. M, January 80. near
Dungeness, in company with the Lon
don steamer, london Trader, which is
also missing.
There is equal certainty that the
London Trader shared the fate of the
Oriole. A telegram from Rouen says
James Cullen. a survivor of the Trader
was landed there by the steamer, Po-
land, the captain of which stated an
other ship whose name he could no,
give. had saved three other sailors from
the Trader.
The Oriole left London for Havre on
January 2S.-Her crew numbered q
men. The British admiralty expressed
the opinion on February 9, hat she had
been struck by a German torpedo.
The London Trader was a vessel OF
6S4 tons built in 1913, avn owned by the
London Welsh steamship company OF
London.
