Paris, June THE American
steamer Silver Shell has had a battle
with a. submarine in the Meditcran
mean. After exchanging GO shots the
submarine disappeared.
Details of the fight were made pub
lie today by the minister of marine.
The Silver Shell, commanded by
Captain Tom Charlton, sighted the
submarine on May 30. In the run
ming fight which followed the Ameri-
can boat proved speeder than it's
enemy and seemed also to be the
master in gunfire. The disappearance
of the submarine was sudden.
Rear Admiral IIacaZe, minister of
marine. said it was unknown whether
the submarine was sunk by shot
from the Silver Shell or submerged
voluntarily to avoid further punish
ment 1t was always impossible, he
said, to ascertain whether a subma-
rine which disappeared had been de-
stroyed unless wreckage was discoy-
cred later. None the less. he cpn-
sidered the result of this engage
ment highly creditable to the Silver
Shell. News of this occurrence was
received with immense satisfaction by
the French public, coming after the
announcement that an American
squadron had arrived at French
port. Admiral LacaZe referred to the
value of this cooperation and laid
emphasis on the multiplication Of the
war vessels with the assistance Of
hydroaeroplanes as the quickest way
of disposing Of submarines.
The Silver Shell is a steamer Of
5,605 tons, owned by the Shell Oil
company of California. She sailed
from America early in May with a
crew of 43 men of whom Is are
American citizens. Her commander
comes from New York.

Is Collier Jupiter.


Washington, June 1.-THE naval COL
lier Jupiter has arrived in France,
Secretary Daniels announced today.
ladened with 10000 tons of wheat and
other supplies. The ship sailed from
an American port without any intima-
ton of her voyage having been given
out in advance an dis now at anchor in
a Fench port.
The Jupiter is one of the navy's
largest GOLFERS. She was the first
electrically propelled steamer ever
built and her performance was to sat
isfactory that it led to the adoption. Of
electric drive for all new battleships
and battle cruisers, the American
navy being the only one in the world
to adopt this type of propulsion. The
Jupiter was built at Mare Island navy
yard, San Francisco, and she has a
high speed for an auxiliary naval YES
sci, which would enable her to escape
submarine attacks under any but un-
usual circumstances.
Secretary Daniels did not specify
what supplies besides wheat the big
ship carried.
