WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. g. Adviccs received here this morning state that a fleet of German submar- ines are operating along the Atlantic Coast just outside the three-mile linn it. and yesterday succeeded in sink ing a number of vessels and crippling others. The presence of the submar- ines on this side of the Atlantic was unsupported, and the vessels fell easy victims to the s,ibmersible fighters.
 The victims of the German craft so far reported are the British steam CTS Stephano. Strathdene, West Point. and Kingston, the Dutch steamer DloOmersdyke, and the Norwegian steamer Christian Knudson. It is also reported that three other vessels, whose names are at present unknown. were either sunk or crippled by tor pedoes.
 The Navy department immediately ordered the entire destroyer fleet of the navy out to pick up the survivors of the stricken ships. British cruisers arrived on the scene about 2 o'clock this morning, and aided in picking up the crews and passengers.
 President Wilson is much perturb- ed over the sinking of the vessels, but states that he does not believe the incident will lead to international complications, isasmuch as the at tacks, so far as can be learned, took place on the high seas.
