A THRILLING BATTLE
WITH GERMAN SUB
EXCELLENT MARKSMANSHIp
OF GUNNERS.
American Armed Oil Steamer Sends
Submarine Down, 1t Is Be
lieved.

After an hours battle with a Ger
man U-boat on the morning of Mar.
1st, the American oil tanker Pauls-
boro sent the enemy vessel beneath
the waves Damaged and in Dis
tress" the navy department reported
today.
1t was the tanker's second strug-
gle with a submarine in six days.
In the first encounter torpedo
missed the boat by 25 yards. Four
shots at the submarine sent her div
ing away.
In the second battle, a submarine
about 5000 yards dead ahead open
ed fire, using tandem-fire, then
salves. Then firing shrapnel. Some
of the so shots reached their mark,
coming close to the gun crew in
charge of Chief Gunner's Mate Rel
ter Of 1920 Myrtle street., Menomi-
nee, Michigan.
Telling of the struggle after the
submarine had started to maneuver
astern, Reiter's report said in part:
THE after gun appeared to have

and the shells passed over the ship
and struck near the starboard bow.
A fierce firing was kept up from that
angle until the u-boat got astern.
apparently picking her own position
she remained slightly on the vessels
port stern and fired from that posi-
| ition, the forward guns shells still
dropping short.
The submarine then drew closer,
using both guns at tandem-fire, the
shells falling on both sides of the
ship. Shrapnel was now being used
and some of the shells burst before
contact, scattering about the deck.
One she'll burst against the ships
side on the port beam.
Shells fell in all directions on
both sides and over the length of
the ship. A shell burst close to the
ships stern. Fragments of it became
embedded in the wooden deck at the
rear of the guns crew. Another shell
burst alongside Of the starboard bow
The tremendous concussion threw
all the men on the platform to the
deck face forward.
Both of the Paulsboro's guns
now had the range Of the submarine
and rapid fire was kept up. The
submarine apparently dropped back
and the ships shells fell either on
top of the submarine or close to her
bow. The submarine then ceased
firing, swung broadside to and sub
merged or sank, bow first. with the
stern up at an angle Of about Is de-
grees. She disappeared in about 20
seconds. II is believed that the sub
marine was damaged and in dis

The Vacuum Oil Company praised
the gun crew and the master OF the
vessel, Fra Chapman, added
his praise for them for Reiter and
for Conrad JohanscE who was at the
wheel.

 The meeting was called 10 order by Mayor Gates at o'clock, with one absentee among the board, Alderman DeVilIers from the first ward.
 Immediately following the opening of the meeting, Mayor Gates made the following speech, which caused the chief business of the evening:
 To the Members of the Common
 Council:
 You are doubtless all aware that the city has outstanding $2o0,OoO of 4 per cent. bonds, and that at the present time we have in the neighborhood of S60,000 in the saving banks as a sink ing fund for the redemption of those bonds. It has been suggested that some of the owners of these bonds would like to dispose of them at about the price that municipal 4 per cent bonds are now being sold, in order that they might invest the funds thus released in securities, which, owing tc the high rate of interest caused by the war would bring them much larger returns in the matter of income. Would it not be well for us to con- slider this matter, and. if there is nc legal objection, could not the city take action that would result in the pres ent use of our sinking fund that would result adVantageously, to both the city and the holders of these bonds | Corporation Counsel William A King was then asked to draw up thu following resolution, which was in. troduced by Alderman Bowen. anC i adopted:
