COAST DEFENSE AGAINST u
BOATS ADEQUATE, SAYS DAN
IELS.
The German Purpose Is to Frightcn
America into Recalling Warships.

Washington, June 3.-Members Of
the house naval committee were as
sured by Secretary Daniels late today
that Atlantic coast defenses against
submarines were adequate and it was
unnecessary to recall vessels from the
war zone to deal with submarines on
this side. The secretary said the pur-
pose OF the Germans evidently was to
frighten the American people into de-
manGing the return of some Of their
naval forces now abroad.
The oil tank steamer Herbert L.
Pratt, reported sunk late today off
Cape HenlOpen, Della, wos' the victim
of a German submarine, Secretary
Daniels announced tonight One
member of the crew OF thirty eight
men was lost. The others were land
ed at Lewes, Del.
Mr.. Daniels said it now appeared
that the schooner Edna. found bot
tom up several days ago and towed
into Lewes Del, also was "a submarine
victim. Her crew was rescued and
landed at New York.
Secretary Daniels said that nothing
further had been heard from the
steamship Car olina, carrying 22O pas
sengers since her radio distress calls
Sunday afternoon saying she was be-
ing shelled by a submarine.
The sinking of six vessels by the
submarine has been definitely estab.
lished by the navy, Mr.. Daniels an
nounced. Besides the Pratt and Her
bert. the vessels sent down were the
schooaers Jacob H. Haskell, Isabel
e. Wiley, Hattie Dunn and Edward
p. Gale. all previously reported in
news dispatches. Crews of all tho
vessels were saved except the one
man from the Pratt.

have been lost.
or these four were killed, one by
accident, two are prisoners by the
Germans and the fate of todays avi-

The victories gained by the Ameri-
cans are all the more important when

these cases has been doubly great for
the Germans. All the American ma.
chimes lost were monoplanes. While
an American aviator was fighting q
German today. a bullet fired by his
opponent traversed the length Of the
airplane and passed between the pi.
lots legs. The bullet clipped a mag.
meta wire. but otherwise no harm was
done.
Late this evening a German plane
was seen far above the clouds. at q
height of perhaps 5000 metres above

tors. Americans started in pursuit
but the German turned quickly and
made good his escape.
