SAYS GERMANY
LOOKS FOR BASE
NEAR MEXICO

NEW YORK, Oct. ia possibility
that Germany has established or is
seeking to establish submarine base
on the Mexican coast Is contained in
the latest developments in the U-boat
raid on shipping in American waters.
The last reported position OF the
U-53 was 1853 miles due east Of Fire
Island. which is considerable distance
south OF the Nantucket Shoals zone
where she was operating on Sunday.
A high British official stated that
Captain Rose OF the U-53 might head
for the Gulf Of Mexico and attempt to
resume raiding operations. But he ad-
mitted that the temptation Of sinking
ships such as the Adriatic, the Phila.
delphian and Minnehaha might induce
him to linger off New York.
The Minnehaha will carry 10000 tons
Of war materials when she sails. while
other great cargoes Of war supplies
will be carried on the Adriatic and
Philadelphia.
The mystery Of the Kingston, or
Kingstonian, which was reported to
have been sunk off Nantucket on Sun
day, has not yet been cleared up. 1t
has not yet been definitely established
whether five or six ships were sunk by
the Germans.
