The water is fifty to sixty feet in

'sThe crew of the tug were inside

with the tug, and I doubt if their
bodies are ever recovered unless the

War Submarine Off New London.
A submarine which appeared
through the Race Just outside New
London harbor during a snow storm
today, caused considerable specula-
ton as ashore. First suggestions were
that the craft was a German naval
submarine, assigned to convoy the
Deutschland and across. which had
come to investigate the merchant
mans delay. The fact that a gun
reported mounted on the submersi-
ble's deck and that no flag could be
seen because of the storm made it
impossible to determine the vessels
identity.
Commander Yates Stirling, in
charge Of the United States naval base
here, said the matter had been re-
ported to him in similar form but
as he had been previously notified
that the Ia which has been man.
euvering off Block Island was to be
put through tests in the Sound, he
thought it probable that this was the
submarine reported.

Earlier reports had it that Hinsch
had been rescued by the Deutschland.

Deutschland Has Hole in Bow.
g Henry G. Hilken of .Baltim ore,
president of the Eastern Forwarding
company said today that so far as
he knew the only damage the Deutsch-
land suffered was a twisted stem. 1t
was learned later, however that the
llndersea boat has in her bow at least
one hole about twenty inches square,
A portable forge was taken down to
the pier and the hole is being patched
up. 1t was learned that the Deutsch-
land carries duplicate parts for her
machinery but it was said none Of
these would have to be used as the
Interior escaped injury.
Captain W. A. Zones, shore super
tntendent of the Scott company,
which has charge of the repairs, said
he expected that the Deutschland
would be ready to leave within two
or three days
Reports that a U-boat with gun
mounted was waiting outside the
three mile limit supposedly to convoy
the Deutschland failed of confirma-
ton here. Commander Yates Stirling
OF the submarine base said he had re-
ceived no reports from his boats Of
the presence of the stranger. It was
&also asserted by Superintendent. Zones
of the Scott company that the
Deutschland would have no U-boat
convoy on her return trip to Ger
many.
The Deutschland was not seriously
damaged, it was statel and will prob
ably be ready to sail in a few davs
after repairs have been made Sew
eral Of the bow plates were bent and
che rivets loosened but the interior Of
the submarine was not damaged. The
repairs will be made by the crew.

The 116 members Of the National
Guard Of Texas who did not respond

vice on the Mexican border are TO be
court -martialled under the Dick law.

The strength Of the Texas organise.
ton at its latest OFFICIAL inspection

appears that approximately 8 per
cent. Of the total on the rolls refused
to answer the Federal summons.
No figures are given for the Ari.
zona and New Mexico Guards. which
were called out with the Texas troops,
but II Is said ArizOna's record Is not
so good as that Of the Lone Star
State. Only sevcnty.ive Arizona ON.
GERS and men have been sworn into

gives no adequate idea Of the number
who reported. as there IL nothing to
Indicate how many were rejected on
examination. It Is fur to assume
that in all three States the response
was about the same. and II Is not
likely that the Texas record Of 8 per
cent. Of the strength failing to show
up Is worse than any other State
would make. Illness. absence from

for the non-appearance Of many Of
these men. az II would In other SINH

The disauieting thing about the

vice was constantly imminent. II
