that an American destroyer had elimi-
mated German submarine, empha-
sized that the fact that the U-boat
was discovered and bombed by a de-
stroyer showed that the German sub
marine campaign OF this coast had
not achieved its apparent purpose of
forcing the withdrawal of the more
powerful patrol from transport pro-
lection, nor had it left the Germans
free to harry small coastwise ship
ping for a specious demonstration of
aggression to stimulate German
morale at home.
Daniels Doubts Story.
That. the German submersible is
equipped to stay in Atlantic waters
for six months is the statement of
the commander OF the boat, accord
ing to four survivors of the schooner
Katie Palmer. sunk August 10, who
have been landed at New Bedford,
Mass.
The submarine is about 300 feet
long. carries a crew of so men, has
a single gun and a fifteen-foot con-
ming tower. the crew of the Katie
Palmer said. They were held cap
tive on the U-boat for about an
hour.
Secretary Daniels is inclined to
discredit the story that the U-boat
Is equipped for a six months cam
paign.
"One reason for discrediting the
story. said Mr.. Daniels. "is that the
captain probably was not revealing
any of his secrets. and would not
have told what he was going to do.
1t is, of course. possible that the
submarine may. IL it gets provisions,
stay a considerable time on this
side"
Two Ships Sunk.
Mr.. Daniels, commenting on the
losses in the submarine raids, en-
phasized the fact that they were
not serious. and that the chief aim
of the navy was to safeguard the
transports. That, he said, was be-
ing done without interruption by
the submarines of any of the
schedules.
Reports of two steamships sunk by
submarine off Nantucket were made
public by the department yesterday.
A statement was issued that the Brit
ish steamship Pennistone was torpe-
doed by a submarine at 12:15 p. m, Au-
gust II. 100 miles east of Nantucket,
and that a Swedish vessel was re-
ported to have been bombed and sunk
at 4:30 p. M. August s. about 100 miles
southeast OF Nantucket. The crew OF
the Swedish ship was rescued by a
British vessel.
The report that the steamship HI
ram Winter had been sunk proved to
be an error.
The Navy Report.
Official communica tions received by
the Navy Department on submarine
activities follow:
The British steamship Pennistone
was torpedoed by a submarine at 1215
p. m.,. on August II, 100 miles east of
Nantucket, Mass.
A Swedish steamship was reported
bombed and sunk at 4:30 p. M. on
August 8. about 100 miles southeast
Of Nantucket
The fishing schooner Helen Murley
has reached an Atlantic port with
four survivors from the crew of the
hshing schooner Kate Palmer. The
crew Of the latter reports that a Ger
man submarine came to the surface
IN the middle Of a fishing fleet of the
massachusetts, coast and sank the

lance, the Star Buck, the Progress
