SUBMARINE FEAR
HAUNTS THE SEA
COURSE is MYSTERY
Many Believe That U-54 Has
Made Best of Way Back to
HeligOland.

New York, Oct. 11.-Although
there was no indication today that
the German submarine U-53 still was
lurking off the American coast and
while some shipping interests believ-
ed she had headed for Heligoland,
there was evidence that the British
admiralty will proceed with caution
In allowing British ships to leave
Atlantic coast ports. Two British
vessels due to sail today were detain-
ed and it was reported that others
which had cleared, both French and
British, will not sail at present.
Shipping circles heard today that
Admiral Montague Browning, at
Halifax, commanding the British
fleet off this coast, has issued orders
OBTAINING the British merchant ves-
sells now in American ports. Verifi-
cation Of this report could not be OBJ
tanned at the British consulate which
issues the final sailing orders. but it
was admitted that sailing orders for
the Cunard freighters Pannonia and
st. George, due to sail today, had
been withheld.
A dozen other British ships, in
Guiding the White Star passenger
liner Adriatic, cleared today but it
was said that with the exception of
the Adriatic the dates of their de-
parture would depend upon develop
ments In the efforts which AZ 4, t,lon
for granted. the British admiralty is
making to rid American waters of
the submarine danger.
The Adriatic, White Star line Off
cials said, would sail at noon tomor-
row and prospective passenger have
been so notified.
The continued absence of advices
indicating additional submarine ac-
tivities along the Atlantic lanes re-
suited today in reduction in marine
insurance rates from the high mark
struck Monday. Rates were quoted
at 1-2 per cent, drop of SO per
cent from the general quotations
earlier in the week. There was a
strong tendency in naval circles to,
day to believe that the U-53, unless
that craft has received fresh sup.
plies on this side of the Atlantic, is
headed for her base at Heligoland
