SUBMARINE TOOK WHOLE HOUR
TO EXAMINE KANSAN'S PAPERS

BOSTON, October 9-The American
steamer kansan. which was stopped by
a German submarine off the Nantucket
lightship early Sunday morning and
later allowed to proceed, arrived here
today. Capt. E. L. Smith and members
of the crew said they were unable to
determine the identity of the undersea
boat, no name or number being visible.
Some of the crew, however, when
shown photograph Of the U-53, which
put into Newport Saturday. declared
the submarine which stopped the Kan
san was of another type, having a diff
ferent arrangement of masts.
Capt. Smith said the Kansan left New
York at 10 am. Saturday, bound for st.
Nazaire, France, and Genoa, by way of
Boston, where she was to call to take
on a cargo of horses for the allies. In
her hold We're $500 tons of iron and
steel, intended for use in the manufac-
ture of munitions for the allies
At 4:35s Sunday. morning, when the
Kansan was three miles. south of the
Nantucket lightship, the captain heard
a shot. He ordered the vessel stopped.
but before the engines came to a full

youthful German officer came on the
deck of the submarine and asked where
the Kansan was bound. Capt. Smith
sent Chief officer Hugh McNamara to
the submarine in ships boat with the
Kansan's papers. The examination of
the papers by the submarines COM
mandeT occupied about an hour. After
Mcnamara had returned to his ship the
German officer signaled that the Kan
san might proceed.
About an hour later the wireless
operator on the Kansan picked up q
message that the steamer West Point
was being sunk. The captain had re-
versed his engines. to go to her assist

Italian flag mount 3-inch guns. 1t was
pointed out that the danger from sub
marine attacks on the American coast
was not SO great as that in the war
zone near European ports.
More than a score of passenge and
freight steamers are believed today to
be near Nantucket. Some are bound to
New York from foreign ports and
others east-bound from here A con-
siderable number of them are believed
to be laden with war munitions.
Most important among them are the

international warfare had been complied

The Secretary said that while complete
reports from the American warships in

stroyers were not yet in, the reports
tended to show that all vessels had peen
warned and that there had been no vio-
lation of the conditions imposed on sub

and his crew were given about ten
minutes in which to quit the vessel.
Members of the crew of the Bloom
ersdijk, some of whom were on the
Benham and others on the McDougall,
claimed that one of their number
whom they described as an assistant to
the captain, was missing. 1t was
thought probable, however, that the
man was on some other destroyer. The
destroyer Jenkins brought in seventy
one survivors.
Survivors Stories Vary Widely.
So far as possible the destroyers
placed small black marking buoys over
the spot where the ill-fated merchant
men were last seen afioat. Stories told
by such members of the various crews
of the sunken steamers as could be
reached differed widely. Some declared
that they had seen as many as five sub
marines.
In other cases seaman was sure that
at least two torpedoes were launched at
the vessel before she sank. From the
stories told by these men there ap-
peared to be little doubt that there
were at least two submarines in action.
Life preserveIs and liieboats from the

the destroyers when they came in, the

cast adrift.
The only survivors on board the de-
stroyer McDougall were six members
of the crew of the Bloomersdijk. When
the health officer boarded her he found
all of the men sleeping peacefully, as
though nothing unusual had occurred.

News of the U-Boat Warfare
Against Ships of the Allies
PIeases German Diplomats

News of the sinking of many ships of
the allies off the American coast yester-
day and today drew expressions of salts
faction from ranking Teutonic diplomats.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German ambas-
sador, went to New York last night to
keep an engagement this afternoon with
President Wilson at Shadow Lawn on
the subject of relief for Polish sufferers
in the war.
The German embassy maintained that it
was without any prior knowledge what
soever regarding the visit of the U-53 or
her mission in American waters The
dispatch sent from Newport Saturday
afternoon to Count Won Bernstorff by
Lieut. Capt. Hans Rose arrived yester-
day. but was said to have contained no
it incloSe any official communication from
the German government.
Reasons for Appearing at Newport.
The dispatch was brief, being written
in German upon one sheet of paper. Capt.
Rose opened by reporting his arrival.
adding that he entered Newport to show
his ship to the American navy. knowing
that many ships We're gathered there. The
communication closed with the statement
that he thought he might secure some
supplies should they be offered to him.
and requested the embassy to pay any
bills
The embassy appeared to be disap-
pointed because the commander of the
submarine failed to give more Informal
tion regarding himself, his vessel and
his intentions.

May Not Change Procedure.

Count Won Bernstorff has carried on
all his negotiations over submarine
warfare through Secretary Lansing ard
fnent, and !. was thought unlikely
here that the President - ould do any
thing to change this method of pro-
cedure.
An engagement was made for the
President to see JuIes Jusseranu, tn-
French ambassador, tomorrow. While
arrangements for his visit We're ma e
through the State Department, officials
here took it for granted that he also
wanted to discuss Polish relief with
the President. Because of the con-
flicting attitudes of the entente allies
and central powers officials have al
most abandoned hope of bringing about
an agreement for extending relief to
starving Poles.

Anxious for Americans.

however that in effort to attack more
vessels a submarine might cause the
loss of American lives or possibly sink

RAID OF GERMAN SUBMARINES
NOT LIKELY TO TIE UP SHIPPING

NEW YORK. October 9.-Owners,
agents and others interested in vessels
near the Atlantic coast flying the flags
of nations hostile to Germany passed
an uneasy night. and today sought
every possible avenue of news regard
ing their ships. Many of the vessels
within the German U-boat danger zone
carry scores of American and European
passengers. including some notable in
financial, business, theatrical and So
cia1 circles.
1t seemed doubtful today that the
submarine raid would result in a gen.
eral tie-up of the shipping of the en-
tente nations in American ports. but
one of the most important steamship
companies controlling both British and
American vessels. the international
Marine Company. issued orders that no
British ship of that line should leave
Atlantic ports pending further orders.
The order was issued by p. A. S. Frank
