Tricky Hun Sub z
Captains Trying
...., New Scheme Now

London, July 25.-Tricky German
U-boat commanders have conceived a
new plan designed to deceive crews of
the allied submarine destroyers in the

oil is released by some device of the
submersible and quickly rises to the
water:s surface.
The hope of the German U-boat
captain is that the commander of the
destroyer will see the oil, believe that
the submarine has been wrecked and
