GERMAN U-BOAT
IN j. s. WATERS
SUBMARINE pRIMED FOR BATTLE
BOBS UP ON THE ATLANTIC
COAST WITHOUT WARNING.
Delivered Message for German Am.
bassador, Weighed Anchor and
Disappeared Beneath Waters In
side Three-Mile Limit.

Newport, R. I.-Seventeen DAYS from
Wilhelmshaven, the imperial German
submarine U-53 dropped anchor in
Newport harbor Saturday Almost be-
fore the officers of the American fleet
OF warships, through which the
stranger had nosed her way, had re-
covered from their astonishment the
undersea fighter had delivered a mes
sage for the German ambassador and.
weighing anchor, turned Brenton's
reef lightship and disappeared beneath
the waters just inside the three-mile
limit.
AS she came and went, she flew the
black and white colors of the German
navy, gun was mounted on the for
ward deck and another aft, while eight
torpedoes plainly were visible under
the forward deck, giving mute assur-
ence that the warship was ready for
nght, at the drop of the hat.
Lieutenant Captain Hans Rose. who
hung up new worlds record IN
bringing an armed submarine in bat
Tie array across the Atlantic, said
mat he had called at Newport simply
10 mail letter to Count Won Bern
storm. He required neither provisions
nor fuel and would be on his way, he
SAID long before the twenty-four
hours during which a belligerent ship
may remain within a neutral harbor
had expired.
The submarine was in American
waters little more than three hours
assuming that she continued to sea
after submerging.

Boston.-Four British, one Dutch

elicts off Nantucket on Sunday.
The submarine arm of the imperial
German navy is blamed with the at
tack on the vessels.
Sunday night the destroyer fiotilla
of the United States Atlantic feet was
picking up passengers and crews OF
the destroyed vessels and bringing
them to Newport, r. /.
So far as known, there was no loss
of life, though the crew of the British
steamer Kingston had not been &C
counted for.
submarine held up the American
steamer Kansas, bound from New
York for Genoa with steel for the
Italian government, but later, on es.
tablishing her iden ity, allowed the
American to proceed. The Kansan
came into Boston harbor late at night
for her usual call here.
The hostile submarine is believed
to be the U-53, which paid call to
Newport Saturday, and disappeared at
sunset Some naval men, however,
declared that at least two submarines
are operating close to the American
shore, though outside the threemile
limit.
The sensation created when the
U-53 quietly slipped into Newport har-
eli hra
hours later, was nothing to the shock
In shipping circles when wireless re-
ports of submarine attacks began to
come into the naval radio stations
just before noon Sunday. Within a
few minutes the air was literally
charged with electricity as wireless
messages of warning were broadcast
ed along the coast.
The submarine or submarines had
taken a position directly in the steam
er lanes.
Vessels of the entente allied nations
and neutral bottoms carrying contra
band Of war scurried to get within
the three-mile limit of the American
shore. Several that were following
the outside course shifted and made
for the inside lane. The Stephano of
the Red Cross line, however, was
caught outside the neutral zone.
The destruction of this vessel was
perhaps the biggest prize of the day.
The craft had been sold to the Rus
sian government and would have been
used as an ice-breaker after her pres
ent trip.
The executive officer of the de-
stroyer Erickson, returning early Sun
day from the scene of the German
submarine activities off Nantucket,
reported that nine ships had been
sunk and that three submarines were
operating off the coast This infor-
nation, he said, he had on the author
ity of the captain of the Nantucket
shoals lightship.
