Description Of How American

ONLY ONE OF MANY BATTLES
Requires Four Charges Of the depth
Bombs" to Destroy One Of the

American Seamanship.

Washington, Oct. S.-A submarine
has been sunk by an American de-
stroyer In the European war zone, the
navy department was advised. 1t was
stated at the navy department that
this was only one of number of such
encounters between American destroy
ers and German submarines which
have taken place and the news Of
which will now be made public from
time to time. The official announce
ment was as follows:
''The American destroyer first sight
ed the submarine in the early morning
of clear day. The sea was entirely
calm with hardly ripple of foam.
The submarine was running sub
merged with only her periscope show
ing. A large number of merchant
ships were in sight.
Mile of Port Beam.
THE U-boat was less than mile
of the port beam of the destroyer and
following parallel course In an oppo-
site direction when the periscope was
discovered. II was throwing up col
umn of water several feet in height,
50 like nearly spent torpedo that the
officers of the deck thought for mo-
ment that this was what it was.
THE next instant the destroyer
changed course sharply to the left and
headed for the U-boat at full speed at
the same time the forward guns
opened fire On the periscOpe. The
commanding officer ordered course
steered that would bring the destroyer
across the Nake of the U-boat little
to the rear of the periscope.
"As the destroyer dashed across the
line of bubbles depth charge was
dropped and column of clear water
shot thirty feet into the air. The de-
stroyer turned to the right, swiftly cir
cling. and her starbOard guns opened
on the periscope as she came around
to cross the U-boat's wake again.
Again column of clear water showed
that the depth charge had not reached
its mark.
"Another quick turn to the right
but this time the destroyer turned so
sharply that she was able to come
down for the third attack In the wake
of the submarine. The third depth
charge brought up column of clear
water and the destroyer wheeled once
more. this time to the left, and all the
port guns opened up. but without Wis
ible results.
Depth Charge Gets Diver.
"The last time the destroyer came
down to the attack exactly In the wake
of the U-boat and ceased firing. As
she neared the end Of the line of
bubbles the fourth depth charge was
let go and there followed widespread
boiling of the sea, large bubbles and
at last a heavy film of Oil.
''The destroyer spent some time look
ing for further traces of the U-bOat but
none were found. She then proceeded
on her course. The engagement lasted
% minutes"
In making public this description of
the battle the navy department said
the incident had been the occasion of
a letter from the British admiralty re-
on the conduct and seaman
ship of the crew Of the American de-
strOyer. The date and location of the
battle and the name of the American
destroyer were withheld by the navy
