Gleaves's Statements
Denied by Daniels
Secretary Asserts Admiral
Should Not Have Talked
in New York

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The state
ment in New York by Rear Admiral
Albert Gleaves that "a few days ago
there came an alarm to the British
navy that the German battleships were
about to come out for the expected en-
gagement on the high seas" and that
"the British navy heads gave the first
class American battleships a post OF
honor in preparation for the attack"
could not be verified at the Navy De-
partment to-day
Secretary Daniels, in declining to
comment upon the declaration. further
than to remark that Admiral Glcaves
ought not to have said it, asserted
that he would first desire to know
whether the admiral actually did make
the statement. He added. however, that
mo such information" had been re-
ceived by the Navy Department from
England.
The statement attributed to Admiral
Gleaves, however, found echo in mill
tary circles here, where it was declared
that naval demonstration by Germany
has been expected, and that naturally
American naval forces would partici-
pate in any general action at sea if it
should take place within striking dis
tance of the American warships.

Boost Marine Rates

Marine insurance rates scared in SEN
sational manner yesterday on the news
that German submarines were active off
the coast. Advances of 700 to 1900 per
cent were recorded early in the day,
when the insurance market became
wildly excited over the possibility of a
heavy loss of ship tonnage. A number

quoted a rate of to 8 per cent per

for South American ports. The rate on
such insurance has been lately quoted
in this market at one eighth to one
fourth Of l per cent. Some insurance
was written on ships and cargoes run
ming between Virginia and Maine ports
at per cent, compared with normal
rate of less than one-eighth of 1 per
cent.
Small shipping interests with ships at

wildly for protection and paid high
rates Other ship owners were content
to await developments before paying
the high rates asked by the under

three torpedoes and sank in eighteen

american destroyers went to the
rescue. AS they were returning to

was sighted at noon Saturday and at

U-Boaf Attack on
u. S. Ships Forecast
By Baker in January

A warning that the Germans We're
preparing a great submarine offensive
against the American lines Of COM
munication was issued on January 81
by Secretary of War Baker in his
weekly military review The review
of that week said:
During the last fortnight enemy
submarines have been recalled to home
ports to be refttea. an, the most
powerful submarine offensive hitherto
undertaken may be expected to be
launched against our lines of COM
munication with France, to interrupt
the steady flow of men and munitions
for our own armies and food supplies
for the Allies"
channels and made public in Washing
ton on April 27 indicated that Ger
many had completed the construction
Of six super ubmarines of 800 to
1900 tons, with a cruising radius of
10000 miles, and that six U-boats of
similar design were being rushed to
completion.
The official Interpretation of these
submarine building activities was that
Germany's long planned offensive in
American waters against mercantile
gin soon. Germany, it was said then,
had designed these newer submarines
to be superior to destroyers, but at
the same time it was pointed out that
it would be impossible to decide def
nitely whether they had achieved this
until there had been an encounter
between the two types of war vessel.
Then few days ago brief dispatch
from Geneva, Switzerland, stated that
German Socialists had given notice that
they intended to interpellate the
Reichstag Naval Committee on why
during the last month 100000 enemy
troops embarked for France without
the slightest apparent attention from
submarines"
Officers of steamer arriving in an
Atlantic port on May 81 reported that
their vessel had been fred on by a
German submarine in md-ocea and
that torpedo had missed the ship by
scant margin. The gun crew pre-
pared for action, but the U-boat dived
before they could get IN a shot. 1t
was suggested then that U-boat in
mid Atlantic indicated drive on
American shipping lanes.
Yesterdays activities would appear
to be the answer to the connecting link
between the sudden cessation of u
boat activities, the appearance of a
! submarine in mid-Atlantic and the i'm
patience of German Socialists over the
unhampered transport to France o1

VAS under command of Captain Hans
Rosc and had left Wilhelm shaven
seventeen days before
ne submarine remained in port a
little less than three hours. During
that time her commander went ashore
,, , pald his respects to the naval com
inandant at the port and, after mailing
letters to the German Embassy at
washington, returned to his ship and
slipped out to sea.
Wlthln twentyfour hours of the
time he had been enjoying the hos
pltality of then neutral port. and
While less than thirty miles from the
pon' where his vessel had been ac-
corded safe anchorage, the same Ger
man commander had given orders
which resulted in six vessels. two be-
longing to neutral nations, being sent
TO the bottom.
rive OF the ships sunk by the U-53
were freighters. The sixth was nas-
senger boat with thirtv-fye women
and ten children on board. Women.
children and men alike were forced
INTO small boats while the ships which
had carried them were sent beneath
the waves by torpedoes. bombs and
gunfre.
The uboat's raids began at s
O'clock in the morning. Before night
tall the following ships fell victim to
the submarine:
Strathdene, British freighter, 1921
tons.
West Point, British freighter, 2,413
tons.
stephano. British passenger ship,
2,143 tons.
Kingston, British freighter.
Bloomersdijk, Dutch steamship. 3,2o1
tons.
Christian Knudsen, Norwegian tank
steamer, 2,5S3 tons.
The Strathdene was the U-53s first
victim. She was so close to Nantucket
Lightship when the U-boat sent her
to the bottom that the crew. which had
taken to small boats. were almost on
board the lightship before their ship
sank
Four hours and forty-fve minutes
later, the U-boat, which had remained
close at hand. stole up on the West
Point and, after giving her crew a
scaNt few minutes to leave the vessel,
sank her with bombs
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the
Stephano. carrying women and chill
dren, bound from Newfoundland to New
York, hove in sight. This time the
u-boat commander elected to choose
the less mercitul way Of bagging his
victim and without warning sent tor
pedo into the side of the ship. That
those on board were able to reach the
shore was due to the stanchness of
the ship itself and not to any element
of fair play or craftsmanship on the
part of the sea raider.
As the last of her six victims sank
slowly from sight, the u-53, either
satisfied with her exploit or fright
ened away by the fast approach of
British destroyers, submerged and
headed for Germany. Her arrival there
was reported on November l. The
captain and crew were decorated by
the Kaiser and hailed as heroes by the
populace-
The round trip of the U-53 had taken
exactly forty-three days. Her COM
mander reported it complete sue
cess. The United States protested,
particularly the sinking of the Ste
phano with its women and children.
The reply was-distinctly German.

WASHINGTON, June 3.--In denying
the published report that the Germans
had crucitied two American soldiers
and that this is the reason the Ameri-
cans arc shooting the Germans down
like rats" and taking no prisoners,
Secretary Baker to-day said:
There, of course, is no truth, so far
as the department knows, in either of
these statements. Our soldiers are
soldiers, and fight like soldiers. One
of the principal objects of military
operations is to take prisoners. Prison
ers are valuable. No military com
