FIGHT LASTS 40 MINUTES

One Of Germany's biggest cruising sub
marines that have been making life pre-
carious for New England fishermen and
others was sent to the bottom 1900 miles
east of Sandy Hook on September 3 by
a shot from a six -inch naval gun on the
stern of the American tankship Frank
II. Buck. according TO the report Of tho
tankers captain. who reported the sink
ing to the Navy Department yesterday.
The captain said the submarine opened
fire on his vessel at a range of l.40o
yards, but found after an interchange OF
shots that her guns were outpointed by
the tanker's and started to withdraw
when she was hit.
As the American crew of the vessel
told the story yesterday, II was early In
the morning of September 8 that the
lookout on the tanker spied a light ahead
and reported:
Tanker dead ahead. sir"
AYE, aye" was the acknowledgment
and the captain put his glass on the
craft After studying her for time he
became convinced that she was sub
marine and the American gunners
quickly had their pieces ready for the
command to fire.
When the two vessels were almost
abeam they turned away from each
other and the heavy gun on the stern
of the American vessel barked and the
shell sent up n geyser within stone s
throw of the enemy craft The U-boats
guns replied and for a time there was
a lively running fight. which ended when
a shell from the six-inch American gun
ripped into the submarine amidships at
the base OF her coming tower.
After the shell struck home the Amer
lean crew. most or whom had crowded
on deck to watch the fight, saw a huge
spout of water leap upward and heard
the roar of an explosion. The submarine
heaved. turned bottom up and then dis
appeared.
The Americans let loose cheer and
INDUCED in THE Star Spangled Banner
The tanker steamed over the spot where
the submarine had last been seen. Oily
bubbles on the surface of the water and
splntered wreckage testified to the fac,
that another OF the Kaiser's tin fish had
gone to the bottom. The fight lasted
forty minutes.
In marine circles 1t is believed that
this was the same submarine which at

week and lost them after running fights

the new Government would be Philir

sador Francis. An outline OF the main
clauses in this treaty was made public

to guarantee that the Russian a. stal

shall not be molested after the expulsion
of the Allies from Russian territory.
This development admittedly means
that the Bolshevik leaders are now
openly seeking to ally themselves with
Germany against the Entente Allies and
the United States. 1t is the logical out.
