u. S. Depth Bombs
Rained on U-Boats
Terrify Germans
Raiding Has Now Become
a Perilous Undertaking,
Berlin Admits
Counter Blow Prompt
Forty Missiles Were Dropped
in Effort to Destroy
One Submarine

LONDON, Jan. 15.-German newspa-
pcrs, IN referring to the Anglo-Ameri-
can measures taken against submarines,
indicate that the employment of the
depth charge has been greatly increased
and perfected since the American de-
stroyers arrived in European waters.
In the old days the destroyer was
content to drop two or three depth
charges in the vicinity where the sub
marine was last seen, but now. accord
ing to the German accounts, it is not
unusual to find the destroyers persist
ing IN the business of dropping depth
bombs until as many as forty have been
exploded, thus covering a large area
where the submarine is likely to be
hiding.
The Germans admit that this is a
very unpleasant business for the opera
tors of the U-boats Thus the scmi-of-
fetal "Norddeutsche Allgemeine lei
tung" contains the following account Of
the experiences of U-boat man in the
water patrollcd by the American de-
stroycrs:
cone of our submarines shot a heav-
lily laden steamer Of 5000 tons out of a
convoy. A violent enemy counter at
tack followed. The dcstroyers left the
convoy and followed the submarine, and
in the course of few minutes dropped
thirty-nine water bombs around the
spot where the U-boat was supposed to
be submerged. Luckily they failed to
hit her, and our U-boat escaped un-
scathcd.
"The same submarine was previously
followed oy two airplanes from mid
day until evening and peltcd with
twenty-three bombs, but escaped"
The same newspaper contains an ac-
count of a submarine cruiser which
had narrow escape from destruction
in the explosion of munition ship
which she torpedoed from too close a
range. The steamer, runs the account,
blew up with a terrific detonation,
wrapped in column of fame, and the
next second the flames disappeared and
the steamer was gone
The force of the explosion upset the
submarines steering apparatus and did
other damage, but the crew finally sue
ceeded in eifect;ng repairs so that the
U-boat managed to get into port.

British Fliers Raid

Beyond Jerusalem,

extending their hold on the third de-
fenslve position intervening between
the Turks and the Holy City and carry
ing out successful aerial operations far
distant from their base.
An official statement issued to- day
reports that, in spite of adverse wealth :
er conditions, British hiers have pene-
trated nearly fifty miles north of Jc
rusalem on bombing raids, scoring hits
on enemy airdromes and railway sta
tons, at the cost Of but two machines.
Present British Line
the communique reveals that the
British line now runs from point
ABOUT twelve miles north of Jaffa, in
the coastal sector. TO point about ten
miles north of Jerusalem, and thence
southeastward to the Dead Sea and tbo
basin of the River Jordan. The loft
wing is advanced beyond the centre.
while the right wing is still held up to
the southeast of the Holy City. around
Mar Saba, where, however, only de-
tached Turkish forces are preventing
Allenby's troops from driving along
the Valley of the Jordan.
An interesting feature of the COM
that "snow fell in Bethlehem on Jan.
uary T." Palestine belongs to the sub.
tropical zone, and not in years before
has Bethlehem seen snow.
Text of Official Report
The text Of the official report is as
follows:
"Despitc adverse weather conditions
our air service within the last few
days has executed bombing raids or

similar patrol activity prevailed in

Sought
To Stake Life
To Save Men
Commander of Torpedoed
u. S. Destroyer Wanted to
Bargain With Enemy

AN ATLANTIC PORT, Jan. ia
romantic bit Of inside history concern
ing the sinking by U-boat of the
American destroyer Jacob Jones on
December 6 was brought to port by q
group of American naval officers who
we're passengers on an American liner
that docked here late tonight.
Their narrative had to do with Lieu
tenant Commander David w. Baglcy, in
command of the Jones, and the resolve
he had taken after he had been forced
to abandon his sinking craft, to bar
gain with the German submarine COM
mander, stalking his own life for the
conduct of his men to place of safety
This was not mentioned in Com
mander Bagley's report to Washington,
and when he came ashore here to-
right, surrounded by his brother Of
fcers, he dismissed the subject with
the remark that he "didn't want to be
dragged into print as one of those he
rocs one reads about"
"Well, III tell the story for him."
said another lieutenant commander, as
Bagley walked away to attend TO his
baggage.
"When the crew of the Jones were
founderng about in the water about
thirty miles from the Sclly Islands,
far out of the track OF merchantmen,
it looked as if all would soon perish.
Bagley. who was in the water about
ten minutes, got to a raft and went
about in it, giving orders and keeping
up the courage of his men, Finally he
got into q dory with Lieutenant Nor
man Scott, his executive officer, who
asked him what he planned doing.
'Hc replied that something had to
be done quickly and that he was hoping
the submarine would come to the sur
face. What do you want with the
submarine?' asked Scott, and Bagley
replied, I'm going to make. a bargain
with Fritz, if he's on the level, to sur
render myself on condition that he will
tow you fellows inshore.'
"The thought of his men was always
foremost in Bagley's mind The sub
marine did come to the surface later,
but approached only within 500 yards
of Bagley's dory. 1t picked up one
man, and no one knows who it was
Baglcy to DO, and that was to row
ashore through those heavy seas a dis
tance of thirty miles and bring help
to his men. He and four others went
shoreward twenty-sevcn miles in twen-
ty hours, but meanwhile the crew on
the RATS was picked up by destroyers
that had gone out for target practice"
The naval officers declared tonight
that reports reaching this country
saying that there was friction between
the British and L. S. naval men were
false and malicious.
"Never was there more cordial re-
lationship existing anywhere on the
seas" was the way it was expressed by
Commander c. T. Hutchins. "The
whole British navy is made up OF
splendid fellows" he said, "and you
can imagine how fondly we feel towarc
them when we all refer to Vice -Admira
Bayley as Uncle LOUIS"
The other returning officers were
Commander B. c. Allen, Lieutenant W
NJ. Bertrand, Ensign ~ N. Gates, Lieu
tenant A. Hartman, Commander G. F
Neal, Commander N. f. Nichols and
Lieutenant Norman Scott,

Haig Absolved
By Britain for
Cambria Retreat
''Higher Command" Held
Blameless, Bonar Law
Tells Commons

LONDON, Jan. 15.--Andrew Bonar
Law, Chancellor of the Excheouer an
nounced IN the House of Commons to.
DAY that, as result of Field Marshal
Haig's inquiry the General Staff, War
Cabinet and the government consid-
cred that the British higher army
command had not been surprised by
:he German attack in the Cambrai re-
gion November 20, and that all proper
and adequate dispositions had been
made to meet it.
The Chancellor said it was not ne..
essary to dispel the rumor that Field
Marshal Haig was to be relieved of his
command.
Mr.. Bonar Law said Field Marsha.
Haig's inquiry was instituted before
instructions had been received bv him
from the War Office. His report ha,
been carefully examined by the Gen
eral Staff, and the War Cabinet con-
sldered it would be highly detrimental
to the public interest to have a public
discussion on the breakdown which
undoubtedly had occurred. The Cabi-
net, added the Chancellor, was salts
NED that proper measures had been
taken to deal with any similar situa-
tlon in the future.
Answering a question by Arthur
Lynch, Nationalist member from West
Clare. as to whether unity of command
had been obtained on the Western
front, in the sens, that the generalis-
slmo had been appointed to direct op-
eretions, Mr.. Ronar Law said no, and
made the same reply regarding the Ital-
ian front.
Asked by James MyIcs Hogge, Rad
zeal member for East Edinburgh
whether any one had been sent home
as a result of the Cambrai incident
alr. Bonar Law stated that the answer
te had given made it plain that the
Var Cabinet held the higher command
blameless.
Noel Pemberton Billing. member for
East Hertfordshire, asked the Chan
cellor if he could dispel the rumor
that Field Marshal Haig was being re-
lieved of his command in France. 1t
was then that Mr.. Bonar Law replied
that it was quite unnecessary for him
to do SO.
British troops under General Sir Ju-
lian Byng, commander of the Sd Army
in France, by employing large num-
Der of tanks and, without the custom
ary artillery preparation, took the Ger
mans by surprise in the area west of
Camh hrai and succeeded in penetrating
the Teuton. lines for distance of five
miles. Thousands of Germans were
taken prisoner.
Nine days later the Germans made q
determined attack on the newly form ID
British salient and forced back Cen
oral Byng's troops for distance of
about two miles, rccapturing Bourbon
Wood and the towns of Anneux, Mar
Going and Cantaing. The Germans
also advanced through Gennelcu to
Gouzeaucourt, but later the British
counter attacked and retook Gouzeau-
court and La Vacquerie
