TELL HOW u. s.
FIGHTS U-BOAT

AS the destroyer dashed
across the line of bubbles. a depth
charge was dropped and a column
of clear water shot 80 feet into
the air. The destroyer turned to
the right, swiftly circling, and a
starboard gun opened on the peri
scope as she came across the u
boats wake again. Again a col
umn of clear water showed that
the depth charge had not reached
its mark.
Another quick turn to the
right brought the starboard gun
to bear, but this time the destroy
err turned so sharply that she was
able to come down for the third
attack in the wake of the sab
marine. The third torpedo charge
brought up column of clear wa
ter and the destroyer wheeled
once more, this time to the left,
and all the port guns opened up,
but without visible results.
No Traces Found.
"The last time the destroyer
came 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 fol-
lowed widespread boiling of the
surface of the sea, large bubbles,
and at last a heavy film of oil.
"The destroyer spent some time
looking for further traces of the
U-boat, but none was found. She
then proceeded on her course.
"The engagement lasted %
minutes.
The episode brought letter of
appreciation from the British adj
miralty.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Oct. 6.
American destroyers have sunk
a considerable number OF German
U-boats.
The first of a series of descrip-
tions portraying the battles be-
tween these destroyers and enemy
submarines was made public by
the committee on public informa-
ton today.
The date of the first encounter,
in which the U-boat APPARENTLY
was sunk, in view of a fleet of
merchant ships under convoy.
was withheld, as is the name of
the destroyer engaged.
The account as prepared from
the navy departments report
says:
In Early Morning.
1.-THE American destroyer first
sighted the U-boat in the early
morning of a clear day. The sub
marine was running submerged
with only her periscope showing.
Alarge lumber of merchant
ships were in sight.
THE U-boat was less than a
mile off the port beam of the de-
stroyer and following a parallel
course in an opposite direction.
'The next instant the destroyer
changed it's course sharply to the
left and headed for the U-boat at
full speed. At the same time the
forward gun opened fire on the
periscope.
1.-THE commanding officer or
dered course steered that would
bring the destroyer across the
wake of the U-boat little to the
rear of the periscope.
