by the appearance Of the enemy raider
on this side of the Atlantic, the fact
stood out that although it has been
in American waters ten days its sue
cess from a military point Of view has
been negligible. No transport or ship
bound with war supplies for Europe
has been sunk. The total American
tonnage known to have been destroyed
amounts to something over 10000 tons
gross, all coastwise ships, seven of
them sailing vessels.

rine that attacked the Carolina shelled
its lifeboats was brought here by a
British steamer from West Indian

picked up off Cape May an empty mo-
tor lifeboat belonging to the Carolina,
damaged by shell fire.
The hull of the motorboat had been
pierced by the fire Of the U-boat's
guns. One of only three oars found in
the boat had been splintered In way
that indicated the use Of machine
gun.
There was found in the boat mans
cap and number of biscuit tins.
Another boat from the Carolina, con-
tanning 10 survivors, including two
women, has landed at Lewes, Del.
This message was received by the New
York and Porto Rico line from the
coast guard service. All but one of
the 10 survivors were passengers, the
message indicated. The member of
the crew was an engineer.
