FOUR U BOATS HERE
FOR N. Y. BLOCKADE
That Is Report Of English Of
ficcr, Who Says U-J3 Is
Converted Trader.

The sinking Of tho West Point by the
t-53 led persons In marine and Gov
circles yesterday to believe that
n number OF German u boats are or soon
will bc operating along the Atlantic
coast.
II have it on the very best authority
that the German submarine, which came
into Newport Saturday was the mother
ship OF three other submarines. which
are now lying of the Long Island coast.
Iheir intention. I firmly believe. H. to
hold up any British ships which may
attempt to go out of New York harbor.'
These statements were made yester-
day by Capt. Douglas q. Hertz OF tho
British army, who has come to New
YORK to spend n few weeks. Capt.
Hertz saw service at Ferdun and else
where in Europe and was invaded
home. He left Liverpool August 10,
NJ that time. he said, a German subma-
rlnc conveying three others was about
to set out for American waters.
"~Gcrmsny's present determination. I
have every reason 70 believe, In to put n
blockade on all English shipping out OF
New York harbor." said Capt. Hertz
1T that this will make or break
the military government of Germany and
II will make the attempt to tie up enemy
shipping. even at the risk OF involving
the United States"
Capt. Hertz was born in San Fran
cisco. Both his parents were natives
OF England. but his father was nat.
uralized as AN American.

SURE NOW BREMEN
HAS BEEN CAPTURED
High Foreign Naval Authori-
ties Admit German L Boat
Was Caught in Net.

W~AsutSGToN. oct. s.-Tlle arrival OF
the German submarine t-53 u, Ncwporr
brought out u rriteration Of tho report
that the Bremen has been captured by
the British and Is now at I,osyth. on the
east coast OF Scotland, this time In tho
definite form Of information coninuni-
Gated to one Of the accredited repre-
scntativcs of II foreign Government. It
* stated without qualification.
The gist of the information, which
comes from high nava authorities
abroad. Is that tho Bremen came to grief
In the steel meshes OF ono OF tho huge
nets which the British Admiralty has
spread in the Channel. The l. BOA was
brought to the surface practically un-
damaged and towed to Rosyth. where tho
British have established a great naval
station. The commander and crew ara
prisoners in England, II is added.
When the C-53 was first seen off
Newport the original report circulated
was that she was the Bremen. A rank
ing officer of the navy here. when in
formed Of the supposed Bremen's ar
| rival. said he could not believe It.
1--WE have reliable information that
tho Bremen il at Rosyth." he said. "and
until some one examines the Bremen
at close range I will not credit the report
that she Is here"
within fifteen minutes II turned out
that the officer was correct.
