GERMAN SUBMARINE HITS
AMERICAN TORPEDO BOAT


+ WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-An A.
merican destroyer on patrol duty
in the war zone was torpedoed by
an enemy submarine yesterday and
one man killed and five wounded
She managed to make port in spite
Of severe damage.
Vice Admiral Sims cabled a brief
report of the incident to the navy
department late today. He gave few
details, but it is assumed there was
no fight and that the U-boat made
good her escape after launching a
torpedo without showing herself.
Gunner's Mate Osmond Kelly was
killed. He was blown overheard by
the explosion and his body was not
recovered. Kelly's mother, Mrs. Bet
ty Ingram, lives at Pratt City, Ala.
None of the wounded was serious
ly hurt. They are Herman H. Pank-
ratz, gunner's mate, st. Louis; Will
liam E. Merritt, seaman, New York
city; Frank w. Kruse, fireman, To-
ledo; Patrick Rutledge, oiler, New
York city, and William Steiner, fire
man, Dundas, Mimi.
First Warship Hit.
This is the first time an American
warship has been hit by the enemy
since the war began. Destroyers
conveying troops and merchantmen
have engaged submarines and are
believed to have accounted for some
of them and the ships patrolling the
European shipping lanes undoubted-
ly have had many an encounter OF
which nothing was learned, but until
yesterday none had been touched BY
a hostile shot.
Naval gun crews on armed Amer.
lean merchantmen have not been SC
fortunate. Many Of them have hao
to abandon their charges and take
to the boats, usually after an un.
warned torpedo attack, and one of.
ficer and 10 men have lost their
lives while four men now are in
German prison camps.
In all, the navy has lost one offic.
er and 16men-the only men of A.
merica's fighting forces actually kill.
ed in action.
| ToLo,
Lieutenant Clarence C.. Thomas
commanding the gun crew of thu
tank steamer Vacuum and four O,
dis men were the first OF the navy's
casualties. In addition to the men
lost on merchant men and Gunner's
Mate Ingram, two navel filters have
lost their lives at the French front
Naval officers do not doubt that
the torpedoed destroyer was taken
dnawares by the submarine and had
40 chance to bring her guns into
action. They think it probable that
the U-boat, cruising in search OF
merchant victims, stumbled upon the
patrolling destroyer and was fortu-
nate enough to get into position to
launch a torpedo and dive to safety
without ever showing more than her
oeriscope. 1t is believed, too, that
The destroyer must have been steam
ing slowly over her beat, for at top
speed these craft present an almost
1nhittable target to the submarine.

At one time it looked as if the com
mittee would be unable to come to
conclusion, but just before 8 clock a
compromise was reached, and the last
vote was unanimous.
The committee, in its report to the
president, gave as its three chief con
siderations that entered into its de-
liberations the following: The fact
tbat the United States is at war; the
need of encouraging the producer and
the necessity of reducing the cost Oh
living to the consumer. All members
agreed in their discussions that the
price fixed will permit of a l4-ounee
