HIT MADE AT 1000 YARDS
High Praise Given Naval Experts by
Captain of Steamer, Who Says
There Was mo Guess Work." But
"Pure Mathematics" Turned Trick.

Western Newspaper Union News Service,
London.-Captain Rice, of the Amer
lean steamship Mongolia, which has
arrived at a British port, told an Amer
lean correspondent that the Mongolia
had fired the first gun of the war for
the United States and sunk German
submarine The submarine, Captain
Rice said, was about to attack the
great liner in British waters on April
19. He declared there was absolutely
no doubt that the U-boat was hit, and
that there was every reason to believe
it was destroyed. The naval gunners
on board made a clean hit at 1000
yards. The periscope was seen to be
shattered.
Even more pertinent a fact as re-
CARDS the ultimate fate of the subma-
rine, was that the shell disappeared
Immediately after the hit was made.
The captain stated that a shell always
ricochets in the water and can be seen
again unless it finds its mark. Oil
also was seen on the water after the
submarine disappeared. The Mongolia
was going at full speed and was long
distance away when the spray and
foam subsidized, but from the bridge the
officers observed the spot through
their glasses, and they are confident
the submarine was sunk. The peri
scope was sighted dead ahead on the
last afternoon "a the voyage. The cap
tain gave the order for full speed ahead
with the intention Of ramming the sub
psasssn sisstssa- aa-~ss v .
and few minutes later reappeared on
the ships broadside. The gunners
fired, hitting the periscope squarely
and throwing up mountain OF. water.
Captain Ellis outlined the incident
with modesty, but could not quite con-
ceal the pride he felt in the achieve
ment of his ship. He paid high trib-
ute to the gunners, and especially to
the manner in which they were han
died by the officer who directed the
firing of the telling shot.
IT can't speak too highly of the cool
manner in which the lieutenant han
died his crew of gunners 1t was a
fine exhibition of the efficiency of
American naval men. The lieutenant
knew before the shell struck the sub
marine that it's aim was accurate.
There was no guess work about it,
but case of pure mathematics"
