The action lasted an hour and was un-

her to submerge, for only a moment,
to reappear and resume firing.
The crew of the tow numbering Al

in lifeboats. Several were wounded,
but only one seriously.
The attack was without warning and
only the poor craftsmanship OF the
German gunners permitted the escape
OF the crews. The one-sided fight
took place three miles south Of the
Orleans coastguard station, which is
located midway between Chatham. at
the elbow. and Highland light at the
extreme tip OF the cape. The firing
was heard for miles and brought
thousands to the beach from which

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. control OF the

with assets OF more than $4,000 900
and Beer, Sondheimer & Co., Inc,
also of New York City, with asets of
upwards OF $5,000,Oo0.
In addition the custodian has seized
the enemy-owned interest In the
American Metals Co. controlling some
16 companies In this country and
Stallforth & Co., of New York, dealers
in silver bullion, with a capitalization
of $1.000,000.
1t was revealed that the Beer. Sond-

were closely affiliated with the Ger
man Metal Gesselschaft, which. for
some years. has dominated the entire
metal market OF the world, and that
they. with the American Metals Co.,
controlled most OF the principal metal

These two companies are believed
by Mr.. Garvan to have supplied Ger
