AMERICAN DESTROYER
SENDS DOWN SUBMARINE

WASHINGTON, Nov. ga Ger
marine submarine captured recent
IL BY two American destroyers was
sent 10 the bottom by members of
her crew opening cocks below while
their shipmates stood on deck with
hands raised in signal Of surrender.
All OF the crew were taken prison
ers one Of the Germans was
drowned while being transferred to
a destroyer and another died. The
latter was buried with military hon
Ors.
See'y Daniels announced the
capture and sinking OF the subma-
rine today In a formal statement
which made no mention Of prison
ers nor Of the reason for the boat
sinking The details leaked out at
the department later but the secre-
tary would neither confirm nor deny
them. saying he had issued the
statement in agreement with the
British admiralty and could not add
10 il.
There was a report in naval cir
cles that approximately 40 men, in
GLIDING five officers, we're taken off
the submarine. II this were true,
il was pointed out, the vessel uR-
doubtedly was one of the largest
cruiser type known authentically 10
he operated by the Germans.
The action occurred in the war
zone several days ago and the sub
marine went down while one de-
stroyer was attempting To tow her
TO port.
Although the British policy is 10
publish nothing in such cases, an
agreement was reached between the
navy department and the British
admiralty to give out certain facts
which Sec'y Daniels announced
today in a brief statement. Officers
Of both the war and navy depart
ments. however. were too elated
over the news TO keep it quiet. First
the report spread that some prison
ers had been taken, and before the
day was over the story of just what
happened was out

sJroyer ON patrol duty sighting

damaged did not return the fire, and
sank Immediately after one destroy
err had taken her i'm tow.

rine rose because her steering gear
was put out OF commission by the
explosion of the depth bomb. As
she appeared above the water 10

clambered on deck and raised their
hands. Boats put Of from the de-
stroyer to take the prisoners on
board and while this was going ON

ment in the east wherever praetic-
able.
Pro-rata distribution among east

basis of tonnage carrying capacity OF
the equipment in the pool.
Diversion from cOngested lines Of
all freight that can be handled by

Take Immediate Steps.
To make more effective the pool

commended that the government
take the following steps Immediate
iy: Survey the present contracts and
methods of purchase and shipment
Of coal that cross hauls may be
eliminated and that coal may move
on the shortest route from producer
to consumer
Extend the pooling of coal pro

Transfer as far as possible the
movement of foOdstuffs and other
export commodities TO southern
ports TO relieve congestion in north
Atlantic ports.
To Eliminate Accumulation.
Survey all government require
mcnts involving the movement of
raw materials and manufactured
products so that accommodations on
roads and in terminals may be
eliminated while products are await
ing shipment or export.
Require wherever possible the
building of war industrial plants in

The pooling plan was worked out
by the railroad heads some days
ago and was formally approved by
government officials at today's con-
ference. 1t will be put into i'm

Unable 10 Handle Traffic.
The railroad situation has caused
considerable concern but only
among government heads, but in
railroad circles as we'll Despite the
fact that the roads are moving more
traffic than they ever before carried,
il has been seen that the breaking
point was near. In a remarkably
frank statement issued a week ago.
Fairfax Harrison, president of the
Southern railway and chairman of
the war board. declared that the
roads would be unable 10 handle
during the winter all the traffic the
public might offer. At the same time
Mr.. Harrison announced that the
war board had recommended TO the
government that transportation he
denied To more than 500 commodi-
ties classed as nom essential during
the war
The recommendation regarding
non essentials has not been acted
on but il is known that if todays
move fails TO bring the relief hoped
for. government officials are ready
90 give il heed.
