Daniels Believes
That Mine Sank
The San Diego

NORFOLK. Va. July 2O.-Secretary
Daniels said here tonight that he be-
lieved mine and not a torpedo was
responsible for the sinking of the
cruiser San Diego. He added that the
sinking of the vessel, aside from the
loss of life. is of no significance from
military standpoint.
"The presence of German submersi-
bles on this side of the Atlantic" said
Mr.. Daniels, ais more or less of men
ace, of course, but they will not avail
in stopping our transports going over
seas with soldiers and more soldiers,
as fast as we can send them. Not
wthstanding the great precautions we
have taken to protect our transports,
supply ships and men, l still consider
it marvellous that we have succeeded in
getting more than million troops
over the seas without the loss of q
life or ship.
at is true that we have lost about
200 men during return voyages of
transports, and that is deeply regret
table, but we have still been marvel
ously fortunate. Every time trans
port feet and its conveys leave our
shores, knowing that it must run the
gantlet of the U-boat menace in the
war zone, l am fearful for it's safety"
