It is presumed here that the submarine
or submarines are now being dealt with BY
American deStrOyers,
The attack upon American shipping al
most at the very entrance Of New York harbOr
is taken to mean that Germany has at last in
augurated submarine campaign to break up
the transport Of troops to France.
Although there have been frequent ru-
mOrS Of submarines having crossed the Allan.
tic since America entered the war none has
actually before attacked American Shipping
on this side Of the Atlantic.
In October 1916 the German submarine
U-53 after visiting Newport lay in wait for
British shipping off Nantucket light ship and
got six victims.
Within the last week South American
ship arriving here brought reports Of the
presence Of two German submarines in the vi
cinity Of Bermuda The report that II vessels
had been sunk seems to indicate the presence
Of a number Of submarines and that the enc
my has launched an attack in force.
Information received at the Maritime Ex-
change here indicated as many as II vessels
had been sunk. The crew Of the Edward Il,
