Washington, June S.-There has
been a battle between an American
destroyer and a German submarine
off the Atlantic coast, according to a
dispatch received by the navy depart

by submerging.

where the submarine submerged and
dropped a depth bomb containing a
charge sufficiently powerful to blow
the undersea craft to atoms, but
whether the submarine was destroyed
has not been established.

searching vigorously for the raiders
operating off the Atlantic coast. Pre-
