summer of 1918 the German Navy
attempted what might be called an
offensive against this country.
Between May and October five
submarines crossed the Atlantic and
torpedoed few ships on our East
Coast. Two years previous the U-53
dropped in for call" at Newport
and on the way back sank a few
merchant vessels off Nantucket. A
few months before that exploit the
alleged merchant submarine
Deutschland made its famous trip
to Newport News, followed by q
ceremonial stop at Baltimore. As
Admiral Sims narrates in his "Vic-
tory at Sea" 1920, the Germans
real purpose doubtless was to show
the American people how easily
these destructive vessels could cross
the ocean and to impress upon our
minds the fate which awaited us in
case we maintained our rights
against the Prussian bully"
Sank 10000 U. S. Tons.
Before the Navy succeeded in
countering the U-boat threat to
our shores and shipping in 1918
German submarines sank, in all,
some 10000 tons of shipping
though the lost vessels for the most
part were small and of no military
Importance. The only real victory
the Germans achieved was the de-
structlon of the cruiser San Diego
sunk by mine which had been
laid by the U-l56 off Fire Island
Admiral Sims had advised the NAVY
Department betimes from London
that U-boats were on the way
There was consequently not an hour
during which Sims staff in England
and the department in WASHINGTON
were not aware of their where
abouts and progress. Throughout
the summer there was nearly always
one submarine operating of the
East Coast. In August three oper-
ated all the way from Cape Hat
teras to Newfoundland. attacking
almost exclusively sailing vessels
and small coastwise steamers. They
rarely, If ever, used torpedoes, pre-
ferrlng to lay mines at different
points of our ports on what the
Germans believed to be traffic
routes. So effectively did the NAVY
cope with the threat that Secretary
Daniels in his annual report at
the end Of the war dismissed it as
one OF the minor incidents of the
campaign at sea. But it was fully
established that it can happen here.
