U-BOAT FLEES SHIP
AT SIGHT OF PATROL
Captain of English Freighter
Tells of Frustrated Attempt
on Vessel.

CAPTAIN f. G.. Humby, of the British
freight steamship Turnwell, which ar
rived yesterday from England, declared
that on June IS his vessel was fired
on by German submarine, which arose
200 feet from his starboard quarter.
The Turnwell had discharged her
cargo at Swansea and was returning to
the United States when the attack oc-
CURED. As it was useless to attempt
to escape, he stopped his vessel and
waited until an officer from the sub
marine came aboard. officers and crew,
numbering thirty-two, were ordered
into the three lifeboats.
Bombs placed in the hold of the
Turnwell by the Germans were eE-
ploded, the submarine then making
for the British coastwise steamer
Trafford. Just as that vessel went
down. the submarine put back toward
the Turnwell, which Captain Humby
said had failed TO sink, but patrol
boats in the distance caused the Ger
man commander to submerge his YES
sci and flee.
The patrol boats picked up the crews
of the Trafford and the Turnwell. Cap
tain Humby insisted upon being put
back on his ship. With the pumps
going he managed to steam into MIL
ford Haven, Wales, where the steam
ship was laid up three weeks for re-
pairs.

Washington, July 27.-Ofcial dis
patches to the State Department to-
day, giving details of the sinking of
the American ship Leelanaw by a Ger
man submarine. tended to reassure Of
fcials as to Germany's future sub
marine policy. There are still certain
points which have not been entirely
cleared up. but it is established that
the crew Of the Leeianaw was given
refuge on the submarine and carried
for fifty miles before being pat into
the small boats of the :orpedoed
steamer.
Information on one point whether
the captain of the Leelanaw was re-
quested to deliver out the contraband
in his cargo and was willing to do so
is needed by the United States govern
ment before officials can determine the
nature of representations which may be
made 10 Germany.
The Prussan-American treaty Of
1928 provided that the vessels Of either
party when encountered in time of war
could not be detained if contraband
was given up. Should it develop that
the Leelanaw's skipper was ready to
surrender the contraband the United
States will present a note describing
the occurrence as violation of that

programme which would include tariff
reform and CONSUMPTION. People WHO
can swallow that kind of concoction

purblind if they cannot see that his
political future is bound up indissou-
bly, with the future of democratic prog

Berlin Calls Wilson
Note Unsatisfactory

Zurich. July y. The official German
Wolf Agency sends out the following
note to the German section Of the SWISS

view Of the government:
