'U-Boats Changing Tactics Present Blitzkrieg New Kind of Attack from that of First World War BY JOHN GROVER WASHINGTON—German U-boats now operating within gun-echo dis- tance of the eastern U. S. coast are using a different technique than the submersibles that harried the Atlantic coast in the World War, Long-range subs of the World | War used torpedoes rarely. A ma- jority of their victims were fishing trawlers, coasting schooners and barges under 1,000 tons. Usually, after halting the small vessels and permitting the crews to take to boats, German sailors placed time bombs aboard the ships. Scme {were sunk with gunfire, the sub- marines surfacing beldly when they were certain the ships were un- armed. Only three of the 50 vessels sunk in the western Atlantic by U-boat action during the World War were downed by torpedces. Coast Mined The raiders of 25 years ago also carried mines. The cruiser San Diego was sunk by a mine laid by | the U-156 off Fire Island July 189, |1918. The battleship Minnesota was damaged by one of the U- 117's mines close to the coast Sept. 29, 1918, and the Navy cargo ship Saetia was downed Oct. 9, 1918. Two merchant vessels also fell vic- tim to mines off the U. S. coast. The clipped reports so far issued |by the Navy Department indicate the U-boats now lurking in the sea lanes are using a ‘“‘take no {chances” technique, firing tox | pedoes exclusively and {sunk by the invading undersea craft, was the target for three tin | fish. “Pack’ Technique Is New The communique saying the pres- ent-day subs were fish” also indicated a departul from German World War method: solo, The German admiralty timed relieve another running short of fuel.

The U-117 made pearance Aug. 10, number of small north Atlantic coast. tim was sunk Aug. 26. The U-156 paid a return visit, getting one vessel on Sept. 20. The last ship sunk off the U. S. coast in the World War was the Lucia, torpedoed by the U-155 on Oct. 17, less than a month before the Nov. 11 armistice. The U-156 also experimented with ¢ technique so far unreported in the present raids. She put a crew aboard the captured trawler Triumph, and the trawler-raider sank three fishing vessels Aug. 20- 21 off Nova Scoti: Reception Follows Wedding of Well Known Juneaune Wilma Melissa Krane and Merle Frank Rhodes were married night in Douglas at the home of U. 8.
