SUBMAINE NEAR NEW YORK
ATTEMPT MADE TO SINK I. ;. $.
SMITH.
German Submarine Fired Torpedo at
Destroyer Off New York.-First
Attack on American Shores.

Boston, April 17.-The war was
brought to the shores Of this country
today, when the United States de-
stroyer Smith reported by radio that
an enemy submarine had tried un-
successfully to torpedo her 100 miles
south of New York at $3.50 this
morning. Additional reports were
received from the destroyer tonight
and were forwarded to Washington.
Nothing of an official nature re-
garding the additional reports was
made public here. A suggestion in
shipping circles that the lookout OF
the Smith had perhaps mistaken a
large fish for a torpedo in the uncer-
tain light of the early morning met
with the reply that the Smiths Of
ficers stood by their original state
ment.'
The navy departments version OF
the original statement was:
Reported from Fire Island light
ship to the naval stations at Boston
and New York at $50 a. M, on the
18th, an enemy submarine was sight
ed by the L. S. S. Smith, running ap-
parently submerged. Submarine fired
a torpedo at the U. S. S. Smith, which
missed her by thirty yards. The wake
of the torpedo was plainly seen cross
ing the bow. Submarine disappear
ed"
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.
Neither could it be learned mere
whether there was chance for the
Smiths quick firers to come into ac-
ton. 1t was learned, however. that
another destroyer passed near the po-
sition mentioned in the Smiths re-
port without sighting anything un-
usual.
