OFF VIRGINIA CAPES
Navy Department to Ascertain
Truth Of Reports.

Submarine chasers and destroyers
have been given special orders to de-
termine the truth Of rumors that a
U-boat has been operating on the
Virginia capes. Navy officials are
confident that the report Is baseless
but admit that they are taking no
chances.
by sending a U-boat to this coun-
try, Germany has already demon
strated that her undersea craft can
cruise long distances" said a navy
officil tody. 1T might seem extreme
ly unlikely that a submarine capable
Of making 5000 miles Journey without
fresh supplies of fuel. has been built,
but we are taking no chances.
ut must be remembered that a u
boat went on a journey Of at least
$500 miles to shell Monrovia, recently.
An even longer trip was made by
the submarine which held up the IRA
guyan mission bound for France.
Then there was the exploit of Lieut..
Commander Kophamel, who was dec

U-boat 5000 miles in his daring trip

boat that went to Liberia went half
as far again, no doubt. In his cruise,

steamers, five sailing ships and
brought back p tons of copper"
