Leaves Behind Story
Of Under Sea Raid
The kaiser's sea terror, Submarine 17-9, is missing.
Site probably licj m a watory tomb iu the bottom of the
North sea.
JJr.r to her belongs the credit for the greatest single
naval exploit in the great hiiiropean war, and perhaps m

tiger, was allowed by the German admiralty to jtell the
story of his exploit and it has been incorporated into the
records of the L'nittkl States congress.
