Peppered by Shrapnel and Shot
From 2 Submarine Guns.
American Gunners More Than
Match for German Raiders.
SUB KEELED OVER AND SANK
Ship Maneuvered and Evaded
Torpedo at 1000 Yards.
The Nyanza Hit Five Times;
Only One Wounded.

Washington. March 2.-Battling a
German submsr srine for two and a half
hours, tie American steamship Nyan-
za's armed guard probably sunk it's
opponent. according to a report of
Chief Gunner's Mate Manjamin H.
Groves, made public today.
The ection occurred January 13.
Peppered by shrapnel from two
submarine guns, the Nyanza maneu-
vered sHillfully while her armed guard
coOlly and carefully battled off the
submerslble. Finally. when the u
boat had a good range, the American
guard also had her range and, firing
four shells, evidently sank her.
AT about 11:15 the submarine had
our range again." said Grovess re-
port
-Four Shells Quickly Finished Her.
AT the same time 1 had his range
and fired four shells quickly, causing
him to come broadside and keel over
then suddenly disappear just as he
had our range good. This leads me
to think that he did not quit from
choice but from necessity"
secretary Daniels has commended
Groves Tor his zeal and efficiency.
The mates report says:
AT $3.50 a. m. Sunday, January 13,
per1scope was sighted off the port
beam about a thousand yards distant
AT the same time a torpedo was seen
approaching the Nyanza. The vessels
stern was swung clear in time to avoid
the torpedo and the Nyanza opened
fire with the after gun. The subma-
rine fell rapidly astern. then came to
the surface, started her oil engines
and gave chase At about 1000 yards
the U-boat opened fire with two guns,
using shrapnel and zig zagging in
order to use both guns at the same
time. This maneuver caused her to
drop astern. but she came after the
merchantmen again, approaching to
within 500 yards
Shot Passed Thru Vessel.
After a number of shots had fallen
short, the U-boat got the range and
the Nyanza was hit five times. One
shot passed thru the after gun plat
form, thru the wood shelter house,
iron deck, breaking a deck beam and
passing out thru the side of the ship.
One shot exploded in the armed
guards mess room wrecking it. Two
shells exploded in a steam locomotive
on deck, doing some damage. A shot
hit the stern of the ship but did not
go thru.
"One engineer cadet was wounded
and taken to the hospital on arrival
! in port"

Was Former German Vessel.
New York, March 2.-The Ameri-
can steamer NyanZa, reported to have
sunk a German submarine in a two
and one-half hour flight. was former
" a German vessel under the name of
Esslingen and was one of the ships
seized in Pacific waters when the
United States entered the war.
A brief report of the fight received
here was that the Nyanza carried on
the battle with the U-boat alone and
that four German shells landed
aboard but without doing any serious
damage. The American shell which
put the submarine out of action was
described as "a fair hit" and indica-
tions were that the U-boat was de-
stroyed with all on board.

JOKE ON THE KAISER
GROW GERMAN CARP
IN BACK YARD POOL

ST. Louis, Mo, March 2.--Here5s an
other way to laugh at the kaiser.
Maintain a fish pool in your back
yard stocked with German carp-and
help win the war.
S. Chichester Lloyd. president of
the National Aquarium society, has
launched the back yard fish move
ment in America as food conserva-
tioE measure. He says any one can
raise enough fish in a back yard pool
to feed mis- family all summer
He recommends German carp be-
cause it is easily kept and makes good
food
German carp is almost a household
pet in Germany, LLOYD said.
