U-BOATS SHELL
AND SINK TEN
BRITISH SHIPS
Attack TraWlers Off Scot
land = Norwegian and
Danish Vessels Lost.

London, July 27.-Vigorous she'll fire
from German submarines operating OF
the north coast of Scotland in an at
tempt to demoralize the British fish
supply has resulted in the sinking Of
ten trawlers. Two Norwegian sailing
vessels and a Danish steamer have
been sent to the bottom of the North
Sea.
The crews of the Rosslyn, the Celtic,
the Cydorna, the Caldwell, the Strath-
more, the Honora, the Cassie. the Her
moine and the Sutton escaped without
injury, although the fishermen on the
Honoria and the Sutton drifted in their
open boats for more than forty hours
before being picked up.
The Aberdeen trawler Emblem has
been sunk by German submarine, the
crew being saved. This is the twenty
ninth Aberdeen trawler thus far de-
stroyed.
Ali the men were landed safely to-
day. Many of the other fishing vessels
have been forced to take refuge in
northern harbors. Some of the fish
ermen declare that the Germans on
board the submarines spoke good Eng
lish. In one case they shouted to the
British sailors:
"We have nice little torpedoes here
for Winston Churchill former Secre-
tary of the British navy and Foreign
Secretary Sir Edward Grey"
The crew of the Danish steamship
Nogill, bound from Gothenburg, Swed-
en-, for the River Tyne with railway
ties, were landed at Wilhelmshaven,
near Bremen, after the craft was tor
pedoed.
The Norwegian bark Harboe was set
on fire Sunday by German submarine.
The crew had only five minutes to get
into the boats They were la ded at
Amsterdam. The captain says he saw
three other boats on fire near the spot
where the Harboe was attacked. The
bark was a three-masted vessel, built
in 1873 at Port Elgin, n. B. She was
owned in Christiania.
The crew of the Norwegian sailing
ship G. p Harbitz were landed at

AMBULANCE SKIDS;;
PATIENT LAY DEAD
Rushing to Operation, Ac.
cident Delays Auto
Blame Denied.

David Schaeffer, who was taken from
Knickerbocker Hospital to Miss Alston's
sanatorium, 26 West Sixty-frst Street,
last night, was found to be dead when
the sanatOrium was reached. 1t was
denied at Knickerbocker Hospital that
an accident to the ambulance was re-
sponsible for his death. Coroner Fem
berg and the police are investigating.
The automobile ambulance which
took Schaeffer to the sanatorium was
reported as missing" to the police of
the West Sixty-eighth Street station.
Nothing had been heard of it for an
hour 1t was found that at Eighty
third Street and Amsterdam Avenue
the chauffeur made a sharp swing to
avoid running down child and the
car skidded, ripping up the pavement
and blowing out a tire.
Schaeffer was hurt early Monday
morning. He was a baker, living at 81
West 1O4th Street. On his way to
work he jumped for the bride of a
runaway horse attached to a milk
wagon and was dragged for half a
block. His right shoulder and several
ribs were broken and he was taken to
Knickerbocker Hospital.
Last night his physician directed his
removal to Miss Alstons sanatorium
for an operation, convinced the trip
would not render Schaeffer's condition
more serious.
At the hospital it was said Schaeffer
was removed despite the protests Of
hospital physicians. Although it was
admitted the ambulance which lost a
tire was the one which carried Schaef-
fer, il was denied that the accident
could have caused his death.

tFrom The Tribune Bureau. :

Washington, July 27.-Ohicials here
fear for the Cunard liner Orduna,
which left New York for Liverpool
last Thursday, and is expected in the
war zone on Friday. Two attempts
have already been made to torpedo
the vessel, seeming 80 indicate de-
termination OF the German navy that
is disquieting in view OF the interna-
tional issues involved. Seven Ameri-
cans are on the Orduna.
On her last trip from Liverpool
German torpedo narrowly missed the
Cunarder, according TO affidavits made
to Dudley Field Malone, Collector Of
the Port of New York, by passengers
and officers of the steamship. The
Orduna fled as soon as the presence
Of the submarine became known.
Should the attack be repeated and
the vessel again attempt to escape,
better shot from the U-boat might
bring on a grave situation. This gov
ernment has contended that ordering
passengers to take to the boats does
not comply with the rule Of interna-
tional law, which requires that they
be removed to a place of safety
and that the right of a submarine
goes no further than to order the yes-
sci to stop "for the purpose of visit
In view OF the impossibility of re-
moving passengers to mo.e secure
place, it is held that The submarines
summons to stop is not presumably
for the legal purpose Of visit, but
may be for the Illicit purpose Of sink
ing the ship without making proper
provision for the safety OF those on
board.
The recent activity of submarines
in the war zone is causing apprehen-
sion among officials generally, who
fear a passenger ship may be sunk,
an act this government viii view as
deliberately unfriendly." Reports to-
day of the narrow escape of the White
Star liner Baltic intensified this feel
ing. The general sentiment is that
peaceful relations with Germany hang
hy a very slender thread, which might
at any moment be broken by a sub
marine commander.
No news has reached the State De-
partment of the feeling in Berlin on
the last note to Germany The vlo-
lent condemnation by the German
press is regarded, however, as an IN
dication that no attempt has been
made by the government 70 present
/ the document to the people IN any
conciliatory way Officials here be-
heve that the German government had
an excellent chance 70 do this, as
there are many passages in the Amer
lean note which, if emphasized, con-
stitute great concessions to the Ger
man point of view.
The failure of the German Foreign
Office to avail itself Of this oppor-
tunity may, on the other hand, be
regarded as concession 10 public
opinion. As long as the government
appears TO be dissatisfied with the
American contentious, the rcople can
be expected TO side with the govern
ment. Should the Foreign Office in
sist that it was satisfied, it might
raise protest throughout the empire
/ that would force the authorities 10
push the submarine campaign TO ex-
treme limits.
