GERMAN SUBMARINE
SUNK In BLACK SEA
Subsea Graft Which Made Its Way
Through Gibraltar and Darda-
nelles Destroyed.
SANK SEVERAL BATTLEsHIPs

LONDON, July 16.--The German
submarine U-51 has been sunk In the
Black sea by Russian warships, ac-
cording to information received from
Varna, a Bulgarian port on the Black
sea. by the Athens correspondent Of
the Exchange Telegraph company.
The submarine, IT-5i, gained fame by
eiuding the Britishl blockade and passing
through the strait OF Gibraltsr to operate
against the allied fleet in the Dardanelles.
The U-51 has been cerdited with sinking
several vessels belonging to the allies, in
cluding the British -battleship Majestic.
The British blockading fleet off Gibral-
tar was reported to have been warned of
the approach of the U-51, but failed to
catch the underwater craft, which went
from Gibraltar to the Dardanelles, where
It did much to prevent the allies war
ships from cooperating with the land
forces on the Gallipoh peninsula.
Later the U-51 passed through the Sea
Of Marmora and reported to the German
commander at Constantinople. II the
report of its destruction in the Black Sea
is true it evidently went from the Turkish
capital through the Bosphorus, probably
to operate against the Russian Black Sea
fleet.
