Sinking of U-Boat
By Warship Reported
From Many Sources

A report that German submarine
had been destroyed in American waters
flew up and down the coast last night
and was related with almost absolute
unanimitv OF detail in half a dozen
important ports. No official contirma-

naval officer in one port who was
quoted as an authority for a report
that captured Uboat had been towed
into Boston or New York scotfed at

story goes that destroyer discovered
the hostile craft running awash some
sixty miles from land. Either some
thing went wrong with the U-boat's
submerging tanks or it's commander

The Yamat0 association has been
formed by distinguished Japanese cit
liens for the purpose Of making Kip
pon's achievements in arts and letters
better known to the western world. It's
promoters believe that Japanese civil
izati0n is not correctly understood by
the vast majority Of Occidental people.
Her naval. military and scientific adj
vanceneut is recognized. but the West
has vet to comprehend the significance
OF her achievements in the humanitics.
The Japan Magazine, commenting
upon the new organization, says:
"9Iany foreigners are disposed to look
upon Japan as merely a military ma
ton, whereas her most important side
is the genius of her unique civilization
and character. IF people could get q
glimpse Of the soul Of Japan they
would have quite a different opinion Of
her. This can best be had from Jap
anese art and literature. which in many
ways are equal 10 those of the West.
Even those Credentials who try 10 APP
preciate japanese art prefer the least
representative art Of the nation. And
as for japanese literature, it is prac-
tcally unknown among western peo-
pie"
