New York Aug. 25.---The story that
the German submarine merchantmen
Bremen has been captured by the Brit
ish. reported by passengers arriving
today on the Baltic and week ago on
the Andauia is generally accepted as
true In German official circles here
While men close 10 the German EN- =
bassy deny any official news of cap
ture has been received they say the
Bremen is many weeks overdue and
they believe she has either been
captured or sunk
The submersihle which Is expected
at New London any day is the
America, they admitted.
A British officer here on admiralty
service stated on his arrival today on
the Baltic that the Bremen was
caught in steel net in the Straits
of Dover on August 2. He declined
10 permit the use OF his name, but
Captain Finch, commander of the Bal
tic, admitted that he too, had heard
the news In Liverpool.
According TO the officers story the
Bremen submerged when nearing the
danger zone in the Straits OF Dover,
Her propeller became entangled in a
steel net and her stern sank. forcing
her bow above the surface.
In that position she was sighted by
a British patrol boat which ran along
side and toow of the thtrty-three men
OF the crew who were still alive. Two
were dead.
After sainly trying to extricate the
wreck from the net. the patrol boat
steamed for Dover with her prison
ers.
The reason the British government
has remained silent about the Bre-
mems capture, the officer added, Is
that II hopes to capture the Amerika.
1t Is believed the Amerika has pro-
ceeded to the north Of Scotland where
fiotiIla OF patrol boats and hshing
vessels with nets are spread out on
watch.
The Bremen was also supposed to
have been towed into Deal Harbor by
a British cruiser.
