.U-BOAT WARFARE
BROUGHT TO j. S.
UNITED STATES DESTROYER is
FIRED UPON BY AN ENEMY
SUBMARINE.
100 MILES SOUTH OF N. Y.
Presence Of Submersibe in Western
Waters Gives Rise To Query as To
Whether Teutons Have Bases On
This Side of the Atlantic.

Boston.-The war was brought to
the shores of this country when tho
United States destroyer Smith re-
ported by radio that an enemy sub
marine had tried unsuccessfully to
torpedo her 100 miles south of New
York. Additional reports were re-
ceived from the destroyer and were
forwarded to Washington.
Nothing of an official nature regard
ing the additional reports were made
public here A suggestion in shipping
circles that the lookout on the Smith
had perhaps mistaken a large fish for
a torpedo in the uncertain light of
the early morning met with the re-
ply that the Smiths officers stood by
their original statement"
The Navy Departments version of
the original statement was:
Reported from Fire Island light
ship to the naval stations at Boston
and New York an enemy submarine
was sighted by the United States
steamship Smith, running apparently
submerged. Submarine fired a tor
pedo at the United States steamship
Smith, which missed her by 80 yards.
The wake of the torpedo was plainly
seen crossing the bow Submarine dis
appeared.
Whether the swift destroyer dash.
ed for the spot where the U-Boat was
thought to be lurking was not made
known by officers who had seen the
Smiths report Of the incident. Meth
er could it be learned here whether
there was chance for the Smiths
quick frers to come into action. 1t
was learned, however, that another
destroyer passed near the position
mentioned in the Smiths report with
out sighting anything unusual.
With submarine war brought close
to the doors of America, the possibil-
ity that German U-boats may have
bases on this side of the Atlantic is
revived. The raid of the U-53 and the
Deutschlands two trips demonstrated
that German submarines could escape
the British naval cordons and reach
America. Whether submersible
could make such trip and return
WITHOUT getting supplies on this side
Of the Atlantic is doubted. Many Off
cials here always have believed that
the U-53 had mother ship. The pos
sibility that merchant submarines of
the Deutschland type now converted
to carriers Of fuel oil and supplies,
might accompany flotillas of the war
boats on their transatlantic raids, is
recognized as being ever present The
possibility of bases having been plant
ed by the German raiders recently at
large in the South Atlantic is one of
the foremost.

Sailors Need More Air.

The broad ocean is supposed to be
about the likeliest place on earth to
find fresh air, yet Dr. R. c. Holc0mb,
a naval surgeon who has been investi-
eating conditions on shipbOard, says
that because more men per cubic foot
of habitable air space are to be found
in the navy than in almost any other
occupation, there is insufficient air
space in the sleeping quarters, expo
sure to extremes of temperature, and
irregular sleeping hours, which condi-
ton, with the possibility of accidents
during storms, may lead to an undue
prevalence Of injuries, diseases of the
respiratory organs and other maladles.
