SUBMARINE CHASE

Flock te Scene From Maine to
Florida Convoyed Ves
sels Are Avoided.
Washington, D. C. Ten American
vessels were known Tuesday to have
been sunk by German submarines off
the North Atlantic Coast since May 25
The largest to fall prey to the raid
ers, which are seeking to prevent the
sailing of transports with troops for
the battlefields of France, was the
New York and Porto Rico liner Caro
lina, of 8000 tons, which was attacked
Sunday night about 125 miles south
east of Sandy Hook.
The fate of her 220 passengers and
crew of 130, who took to the boats
when shells began to fall about the
vessel, was unknown late Tuesday
night, but there was hope they had
been picked up by some passing ship
or would reach shore safely in the
small boats.
Not a life was lost in the sinkings,
according to the late reports.
Besides the Carolina, the known vie
tims of the U-boats are the Alantic
Refining company's tanker Herbert L.
Pratt, the steamship VVinneconne, of
1800 tons, and six schooners, the larg
est of which is the Hauppaugue, a new
ship of 1000 tons, and the Edward H.
Cole. The crews of these eight ves
sels have been landed at Atlantic ports.
The steamer Texel was sunk by a
German submarine Sunday afternoon
60 miles off the coast. The crew of 36
"n.ie'ttfianded at an Atlantic port.
Reports brought ashore by the sur
vivors indicated that the Winneconne
and nearly all the schooners were sunk
by the same U-boat which had been
lurking in the path of shipping off the
New Jersey coast and the Delaware
capes since last month.
The stories told by the skippers of
the schooners indicated that the com
mander of the submersibles was unus
ually humane for a German submarine
officer.
In no instance, so far as is known,
was a lifeboat shelled, and in all cases
reported the crews were given oppor
tunity to escape or were taken aboard
the submarine, where some of them
were kept prisoners for eight days be
fore they were turned adrift to be
picked up by a passing vessel.
Germany at last has brought her
submarine warfare to the shores of the
United States, apparently in a forlorn
hope of striking telling blows on this
side of the Atlantic and of drawing
home some of the American naval
forces from the war zones, where the
U-boat menace is being slowly but
surely strangled to death.
New York Scores of United States
warships are ranging the waters off
the North Atlantic coast in search of
the German submarines which made
their long-expected attack on Amer
ican shipping in home waters late
Monday afternoon.
While the details of naval opera
tions were withheld, it is known that
destroyers, fleets of submarine chasers
and other vessels are flashing their
searchlights over the waters along the
coast and far out at sea from Maine to
Florida.
Hydro-aeroplanes and airplanes
arose like flocks of huge birds from
every naval station along the Atlantic
coast when the warning was flashed to
them, and soon were scouting over the
wafers where it was believed subma
rines would be most likely to be lurk
ing. Foreign aviators and American
students as well as the regular Ameri
can flyers eagerly volunteered for service.
Ex-Vice President Departs After Uril-
liant Political Career.
Indianapolis, Ind. Charles Warren
Fairbanks, ex-Vice President of the
United States and former United
States senator from Indiana, died at
his home here at 8:55 o'clock Tuesday
night.
Death was due to interstitial nephri
tis, which had been u chronic ailment
with him but not regarded as particu
larly serious until recently.
All members of the former Vice
President's family, except Major Rich
ard Fairbanks, who is in France, were
at his bedside.
The distinction of birth in a log
cabin, which illustrious Americans of
an earlier day commonly had, was also
that for .former Vice President ratr-
banks. It is probable that he was the
last of American statesmen to have
been born in one of these humbli
cabins.
The one where he was born on May
11, 1852, was at Unionville Center,
Ohio.
Mr. Fairbanks traced his ancestors
to the days of Oliver Cromwell, who
counted "Fayerbankes" among his sup
porters. Jonathan Fayerbankes, the
first member of the family to come to
America, landed at Boston in 163b,
Mr. Fairbanks' father was Loriston
Monroe Fairbanks, a wagon maker of
Vermont, who emigrated to Union
county, Ohio. His mother was a sis
terofthe late William Henry Smith,
once general manager of the Associated
Press.
The Fairbanks home frequently was
the hiding place of runaway slaves,
and no black man was ever turned
away from the door. Fairbanks was
8 years old when Abraham Lincoln
was elected President. Then followed
the Civil War, the stirring scenes of
which the future Vice-President fol
lowed with keen interest.
Soon after he was graduated from
the Ohio Wesleyan College at Dela
ware, O., Mr. Fairbanks was .appoint
ed agent of the Associated Press at
Pittsburg, Pa., holding that position
for one year. His most important
assignment was the rally of the Demo
crats and liberal Republicans in 1872.
This was one of the largest meetings
of the campaign and was addressed by
Horace Greeley. Later in life he fre
quently referred with keen delight to
his work as a newspaper man.

U-BOAT TOLL 58 IN
MISSING AND DEAD
Man Shot at Launching. '
San Francisco The Isanti, an 8800
ton steamer, built for the United
States emergency fleet corporation,
was launched successfully from a ship
yard near here Sunday. The vessel's
name was chosen by Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson. The ship is 427 feet long
with a beam of 54 feet. An unidenti
fied man, who attempted to climb over
the stockade surrounding the yard and
who disregarded or failed to hear a
warning, was shot by a sentry. His
condition was said to be serious. He
was unable to make any statement.
Comfort to Cross Alone.
Washington, D. C. The naval hos
pital ship Comfort, formerly the War
Line steamer Saratoga, has been se
lected for service as an ambulance ship
between this country and the American
naval base abroad. She has been spe
cially refitted to bring- home sick and
wounded sailors and marines. The
present plans are to send the Comfort
across without convoy, notifying the
German government of her intended
voyage and its purpose.
New York The toll of dead and
missing from the raid of German sub
marines against shipping off the
American coast apparently stood Tues
day night at 58 all from the steam
ship Carolina, of the New York and
Porto Rico line.
Sixteen of this number are known to
have perished when one of the ship's
boats capsized in a storm Sunday night
fter the vessel had been sunk. The
fate of the others is not known, but it
is hoped they have been picked up by
passing ship and will yet reach shore
safely.
Officials of the company have placed
the number of passengers aboard the
Carolina when she was attacked 125
miles off Sandy Hook at 220 and the
crew at 130, making 330 in all.
Captain Barbour, of the Carolina,
reported to the company that he was
on board the schooner Evan B. Douglas
with 150 passengers and 94 of the
crew. 1 he schooner is being towed to
this port by a tug and is expected f.o
arrive soon.
A boat containing 28 survivors, 21
passengers and 7 of the crew arrived
t Atlantic City Tuesday afternoon.
Another lifeboat with 10 passengers
and nine members of the crew arrived
at Lewis, Del., with the report that 16
of the 35 who had started from the
ship had lost their lives in the storm
Sunday night.
If the company's figures as to the
number aboard the ill-starred liner are
correct, this leaves 42 unaccounted
for. That number might have been
crowded into one lifeboat.
The only possible clew to their fate
was found in the fact that an empty
boat, marked with the name of the
Carolina, was picked up at sea, by a
British steamship which arrived here
Tuesday. It had every evidence of
having been riddled by gunfire. It
may have carried the passengers and
sailors who still are missing. Another
ship was added to the list of victims
of the U-boats when the American
schooner Edward R. Baird, Jr., was
found in a sinking condition off the
Maryland coast, after having been
bombed.

Depended on Surprise Attack.
"The planning and execution of that
success luul been Intrusted by Vice
Admiral Sir Unbelt Keyes to Commo
dore Hubert I.ynos, who directed the
previous attempt to block the harbor
with the Slrlus nnd Brilliant. I'pon
that occasion a combination of unfore
seen and unforeseeable conditions hud
fount) t against him.
"Upon this, the main problem was
to obtnln the effect of a surprise at
tack upon an enemy who was clearly,
from his ascertained dispositions, ex
pecting him. The Slrlus and Brilliant
had been baffled by the displacement
of the Stroom bank buoy, which murks
the channel to the harbor entrance.
But since then aerial reconnaissance
had established that the Germans had
removed the buoy altogether and that
there now were no guiding marks of
any kind.
"They also had cut gaps In the piers
as a precaution ngnlnst a lauding, and
further, when toward midnight Thurs
day, the ships moved from their an
chorage. It was known that some nine
German destroyers were out and were
at large upon the const.
Night Nearly Windless.
"The solution of the problem Is best
Indicated by the chronicle of events.
It was u night that promised well for
the enterprise nearly windless and
what little breeze stirred cnine a point
or so west of north. The sky was lend
blue, faintly star-dotted, with no moon,
and a still sea for small craft, motor
launches and coastal motor bouts,
whose work was done close Inshore.
"From the destroyer which served
the commodore for a flagship the re
mainder of the force were visible only
as silhouettes of blackness.
"From Dunkirk a sudden brief flur
ry of gunfire announced that German
airplanes were about. They actually
were on the way to visit Calais, and
over the Invisible const of Flanders the
summer lightning of restless artillery
rose and fell monotonously.
" There's the Vindictive !' The muf
fled seamen and marines standing by
the torpedo tubes and guns turned at
that name to gaze at the great bluck
ship seen mistily through the screen

end.
"She receded Into the night astern
as a destroyer raced to lay a light
buoy that was to be her guide, and
those on board saw her no more. She
passed thence Into the hnnd.s of the
small crnft whose mission was to guide
her, light her, nnd hide her In the
clouds of a smoke screen.
"There was no preliminary bom
bardment of the harbor nnd batteries,
as before the previous attempt. That
was to be the first element In the sur
prise. A time-table had been laid
down for every stage of the operation,
