WAR ON SUBMARINES
Several Undersca Craft Sunk During
the Past Few Days.

An Atlantic Port, June 12.-Details
of a recent battle between sub
marine chaser and German U-boat
off the Virginia coast, in which it IS
believed that the seawolf was sent
to the bottom for all time, were
brought to the city yesterday through
unofficial sources.
According to men aboard the chaser
the U-boat was maneuvering for IA
vorable position to attack the chaser
when her periscope was sighted. The
CHASER, a speedy boat of 80 knots,
t1rned on the enemy, rushing for her
position and dropping two depth
bombs, at a distance Of less than 100
yards from the undersea crafts posi-
ton. Those on board the chaser are
confident the stern of the undersca
boat was struck. They reported guam
titles of oil on the water around the
POSITION in which the U-boat was last
sighted. For several hours the chaser
cruised in the vicinity without again
sighting the enemy.
A German submarine was sighted
$50 miles off the New Jersey coast
early Monday night by a British
steamer, according to the officers OF
the vessel. which arrived last night.

There'll be men enough to make them

That was never seen before.
For he counts his men in millions
And his money-might in billions,
And he'll hurl them at the Germans
In the trenches, sea and air!

Let him rouse sleeping giant
And destroy another treaty
