Sub Staged Attack
As Roosevelt Spoke

SANTA BARBARA, Calf, Feb. "a
P).-An enemy submarine fired its
reply to President Roosevelts war
address in the very middle of his
radio broadcast last night-25 shells
badly aimed toward an oil field and
refinery near Goleta, seven miles
north of here.
Witnesses said the shells, presum-
ably of the shrapnel type, exploded
large volumes of dirt from beaches
and pastures, frightened horses into
screaming madly-but hit only one
well. The pumping plant and der
rick of that well were damaged, but
no fires were started. No one was
killed or injured.
1t was the first attack on United
States soil in this war, although
Japanese submarines of the Pa
elf Coast and German submarines
of the Atlantic have sunk some
ships and damaged others.
Attack Lasts Is Minutes.
Witnesses said the first shell was
fired at ITO pm. Q0:1O pm,
q. w. T) and that the attack con-
tinued until 7:35 pm. twilight.
The coast was blacked out at 8
pm, from Goleta IS miles south of
Carpenteria. Radios only were
Silenced in the remainder of South
err California. The all clear was
given at 1912 am.
Several flares were sighted lust
OF the coast during the blackout.
Police at Ventura, q miles south of
here, presumed they were dropped
by American airplanes searching for
the submarine. However, Army
officials gave no information re-
garding the flares or whether planes
were sent in search of the sub
merSible.
Witnesses at Goleta said the SUBJ
marine seemed to head south after
1t ceased firing. The Rev. Arthur
Bushman Of Pomona, visiting at
Montecito, saw a vessel he thought
was a submarine flashing signal
lights as it left Santa Barbara

The Los Angeles District Press
Relations Office of the 18th Naval
District made public the following
account of the shelling, obtained
from S. w. Borden, superintendent
of the Bankline Oil Co., at Elwood,
near Goleta:
AT ITO pm. one large subma-
rine came to the surface about one
mile off shore and fired approxi-
mately IS shells from a deck gun.
One direct hit reached one well,
causing minor damage to the pump
ing unit and derrick.
(The War Department COM
munique said Is rounds of 5-inch
shells were fired)
There were several close misses
on a crude oil storage tank and q
gasoline plant. Apparently no dam
age was caused by these shells. A
complete survey of the grounds has
not been made and there may have
been superficial damage. Whatever
other damage is disclosed will not
be extensive.
mo fires were started aS a result
of the firing. No tanks were hit.
From fragments of shell found and
marks on the ground it is believed
or inch gun was Used. The
firing was done leisurely, apparently
only one gun being used 1t required
about IS minutes to fire the approxi-
mately Is shells"
Eyewitness Gives Story.
G. o. Brown, an oil worker OF
duty, said the submarine was only
a mile offshore and so big I thought
it might be a destroyer or cruiser.
I have seen many submarines and
this was larger than any of those
in the United States Navy that
have seen.
'It was lying idly on the surface.
Then it began shelling, shot after
