GERMAN U-BOAT FIRES FIRST
SHOT OF WAR AT AMERICAN
FIGHTER AND MISSES.
SUBSEA BLOCKADE is SEEN
Shipping Is Uneasy But Navy Is Con-
fident Of Ability to Combat Any
Enemy Craft That May Be
Encountered,

has fired the first shot of the war
against America-and it missed.
Official information has reached the
Navy department that the u. S. De-
stroyer Smith was fired upon by a
German submarine at $3.50 a. M, April
II.
Sighted by Destroyer.
Announcing the first engagement of
the war, the Navy department issued
the following statement:
Reports from Fire Island light ship
to navy station at Boston and at New
York, that at $3.50 a. NJ, the 18th, an
enemy submarine was sighted by the
U. s. 8. Smith, running apparently
submerged. The submarine fired a
torpedo at the Smith, which missed
her by 80 yards. Wake of torpedo
plainly seen crossing bows. Subma-
rine disappeared"
Rumors Confirmed.
The fact that the enemy undersea
fighter is in adjacent waters, still
probably we'll armed, caused a great
stir in shipping and naval circles all
along the coast.
The submarines efforts to sink the
destroyer were the first definite evil
dence of the oft-repeated rumors that
German U-boats were lurking off our
coasts.
War Now at u. S. Shores.
The immediate effect of the Smith
affair, as the navy sees it, will be to
stir up the country to a realization
that war is at our shores and to slim
ulate recruiting both for the navy and
the army.
The probability of submarine attack
on unprotected seaboard cities and
towns, raids on shipping within sight
of American shores and a submarine
blockade of the principal Atlantic
ports to terrorize shipping and people
were expected.
First Recognition Of War.
The attack by the U-boat is Ger
many's first recognition of the state
of war declared by the United States.
It was stated in Germany soon after
the act Of Congress that no aggressive
steps would be taken against the
United States.
Practically no American officials be-
lieved this statement, however, and
steps to meet aggressive steps were
at once taken.
