TRODPSHIPS Creel's Fourth of July Story Shown to Have Been Exaggerated ‘Washington, August 2.—A long offi- cial report from Rear Admiral Albert Gleaves, describing in detail the in- cidents involving encounters of Amer- ican troop ships and their convoying war vessels with German U-boats in June, fails to bear out the account of these incidents contained in a state- ment furnished to the press as & Fourth of July message by the com~ mittee on public information. The Fourth of July statement was prepared personally by George Creel, chairman of the committee, in the presence of secretary Daniels and Ad- miral Benson, chief of naval opera- tions, and has been much criticised in the senate and the press on the ground that it exaggerated what oc- curred. Mr. Creel has been criticised par- ticularly for the use of the expres- sion “an attack in force” in describing one of the encounters between the American convoying ships and Ger- man submarines. In the officlal re- port of Admiral Gleaves, which was made public last evening, nothing is said to show that any attack in force was experienced by the American ves- sels. The report shows that there were two encounters with submarines and possibly a third incident of the 'sort, although there is doubt that U-boats were actually engaged in hos- tile operations in thig third instance. In the first encounter, a submarine is believed to have crossed the bow of Admiral Gleaves’ flagship, and two torpedoes passed close to one of the American vessels. Another torpedo was apparently seen, but the report of Admiral Gleaves is not clear on that point. One officer described as “Col. A” gave the opinion that streaks in the water were the wakes of two submarines. The second encounter, that of June 25, was with two submarines sighted about two hours apart. There does not appear to be any doubt that these submarines were seen. “Depth Charge” Effective. “A depth charge” was fired at one of the U-boats, and ‘“several pieces of lumber, quantities of oil, bubbles and debris came to the surface.” On the third occasion it was believed that a submarine was sunk, but the doubt One of the interesting features that has come to light concerning the con- troversy over the encounters between Admiral Gleaves’ ships and U-boats is that the navy department is making an investigation to ascertgin the re- sponsibility for statementS contained in an Assaciated Press cable dispatch from the British base of the American naval force in Huropean waters, quoting an unnamed American naval officer as denying that there had been any such encounters as were described in the communication given to the press on the evening of July 3, by the committee on public information. There have been hints that the author of this statement was known and that the investigatian might be followed by his relief from duty and possibly court martial proceedings. The navy department declines to make any statement on the subject, but it is known that Secretary Daniels and other officials of the government were very indignant over the practical denial of the Teport from Admiral Gleaves that warships under his com- NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, exact words of the offical report. It is & matter of gratification that none of these attacks were sucessful, and I have writter to Rear Admiral Gleaves congratulating him and the officers and men upon the successful comple- tion of the hazardous voyage in the face of the submarine attacks. Sincerely yours, JOSEPHUS DANIELS. Hon. Claude A. Swanson, Acting Chairman Naval Affairs Committee, United States Senate. Report of First Attack. The report is as follows: FLAGSHIP, DESTROYER, FORCE, ATLANTIC FLEET. » France, July 12, 191.7 From: Commander Destroyer Force. To: Commander in Chief, Atlantic Fleet. Subject: Attacks on convoy by sub- marines on the nights of 2¢ June, 26 June and 28 June, 1917. 1. About 10:16 P. M. June 22, the first gToup of the expeditionary force, of which the flagship was the leader, encountered the enemy’s submarine in Lat. — N., Long. — W. 2. At the time it was extremely dark, the sea was unusually phosphor- escent; a fresh breeze was blowing from the northwest, which broke the sea into white caps. The condition was ideal for a submarine attack. (Paragraph 3 gives the formation and names of the vessels together with the speed they were making and method of proceeding; nothing else. It is therefore omitted for obvious reasons). 4. Shortly before the attack the helm of the flagship had jammed, and the ship took a rank sheer to star- board; the whistle was blown to indi- cate this sheer. In a few minutes the ship was brought back to the course. At this time the officer of the deck and others on the bridge saw-a white streak about fifty yards ahead of the ship, crossing from starboard to port at right angles to our course. The ship was immediately run off 90 de- grees to starboard at full speed. T was asleep in the chart house at the time. I heard the cflicer of the deck say: “Report to the Admiral a tor- pedo has just crossed our bow.” Gen- eral alarm was sounded torpedo crews being already at their guns. When I reached the bridge the A and one of the transports astern had opened fire, the former’s shell fitted with tracers. Other vessels of the convoy turned to the right and left in accordance with instructions. B crossed our bow at full speed and turned toward the left column in the direction of the firing. 5. At first it was thought on board the flagship that the wake was that of a torpedo, but from subsequent re- ports from other ships, and in the opinion of Lieutenant X. who was on the bridge, it was probably the wake of the submarine boat itself. The tor- pedoes passed close to the A from ‘“‘port to starboard,” one about thirty yards ahead of the ship, and the oth- er under the stern, as the ship was turning t&_ the northward. Captain Y reports the incident thus: “Steaming in formation on zig-zag courses, with base course 75 degrees, P. S. Ci, standard speed. At 10:25 sighted wake of a torpedo directly across our baw, about thirty yards ahead of the ship. Changea course 90 degrees to left and went to torpe- do defense stations. Fired two one- pounder shots and one five pounder shot from port battery in alarm in ad- dition to six blasts from siren. Passed through two wakes ,one being that from the U. S. S. C. in turning north- ward, the other believed to have been from the passing submarine. A second torpedo wake was reported at about 10:35 from after lookouts. After stcaming in various courses at full speed, resumed course 39 degrees P. S. C. at 11:10 for rendezvous. At 12 set course 56 degrees P. S. C.—"" The torpedo fired at the D passed mand had encountered German sub- marines while convoying American transports across the Atlantic. The report of Admiral Gleaves was written in France on July 12 and mailed to Admiral Mayo, commander in chief of the Atlantic fleet, who sent it to the navy department. This pro- cedure, it was said at the navy depart- ment was responsible for the delay in giving the report to the public. Report Sent to Swanson. Senator Swanson, acting chairman of the naval affairs committee of the | senate, gave out the following letter he had received from Secretary Daniels, forwarding the report of Rear Admiral Gleaves, giving in detail the story of the attack of German sub- marines upon the transports: Aug. 1, 1917. Dear Mr. Chairman : On the 21st day of July, in respanse to an inquiry from the chairman of the naval affairs committee of the senate, requesting information with reference to the safe arrival of all the troops in the first transports which the navy convoyed to France, I ad- dressed a communication giving the infarmation requested to the chairman of the committee. In that letter it was stated that it had been the im- memorial custom of the navy depart- ment not to give out the exact text of any cable because publication might enable the enemy to learn the naval code, but T added: “The cablegrams from the Rear Ad- miral, which have not been given to the public for reasons stated above, are, of course, subject to the inspec- tion of the Naval Affalrs Committee’. T write now to say that the full re- port of Rear Admiral Gleaves, com- mander of the cruiser force, has been recefved. Tt was sent in accordance with the regulations to Admiral Mayo, commander in chief of the Atlantic fleet, and by him to the Chief of Na- val Operations. It was written prior to Admiral Gleaves’ departure from France. I am sending you the exact text of the report of Rear Admiral Gleaves, giving in detall the account of the submarine attacks for the use of the Naval Affajrs Committee. I am also sending you a copy for the press, exactly in the words of the official re- port, the only changes being that the names of the ships are:represented by letter and not by real ‘name of the ship, with the omission also of cer- tain military information that cannot be published under naval regulations. However, the omissions are noted. Everything with reference to the at- tacks of the submarines is given in the from ‘“starboard to port”, about 40 vards ahead of the ship, leaving a dis- tinet wake which was visible for about four or five hundred yards. Colonel Z, U. 8. A, was on the starboard wing of the bridge of the D at the time, and states: “I first saw a white streak in the water just off the starboard bow, which moved rapidly across the bow very close aboard. When I first saw it it looked like one very wide wake and similar to the wake of a ship, but after crossing the bow, and when in line with it, there appeared two dis- tinct and separate wakes, with a streak of blue water between. In my opinion, they were the wakes of two torpedoes.’ 7. The submarine, which was sight- ed by the, flagship; was seen by the B., and passed under that ship. The B. went to quarters. When the alarm was sounded in the B. Lieutenant W. was roused out of his sleep, and went to his station and found unmistak- able evidence of the presence of a submarine. He had been there only a few seconds when the radio operat- or reported, ‘‘submarine very close to us.” As the submarine passed the B. and the flagship’s bow and disappear- ed close aboard on our port bow, be- tween the columns, it was followed by the B., which ran down between the columns, and when the latter resum- ed her station she reported that there were strong indications of the pres- ence of two submarine’ astern, which were growing fainter. The B. was then sent to guard the rear of the convoy. $. When 1 was in Ta T way shown by the United States Naval At- tache a confidential bulletin of infor- mation issued by the General Staff. dated July 6, \which contained the following: “Punta Delgada, Azores, was hom- barded at 9 a. m., July 4. This is un- doubtedly the submarine which at- tacked the E. on June 25, 400 miles north of the Azores, and sank the F. & G. on the 29th of June 100 miles from Terceira. (Azores.) This sub- marine was ordered to watch in the vicinity of the Azores, at such a dis- tance as it was supposed the enemy American convoy would pass from the Azores.” 9. Tt appears from the French re- port just quoted above, and from the location of the attack, that enemy submarines had been notified of our approach and were probably scouting acress our route. Tt i{s pessible that the: ay have trailed us all day on AUGUST 2, 1917. June 22, as our speed was well within their llmits of surface speed, and they could easily have trailed our smoke under the weather conditions ‘without being seen; their failure to score hits was probably due to the attack being precipitated at the for- tuitous circumstances of the flag- ship’s helm jamming and the sound- ing of her whistle, leading the enemy to suppose he had been discovered. 10. The H. leading the second group, encountered two submarines, the first about 11:50 a. m., June 26, 1917, in Lat.—N, Long.—W, about a hundred miles off the coast of France, and the second two hours later. The 1 investigated the wake of the first without further discovery. The J. sighted the bow wave of the second at a distance of 1,600 yards and head- ed for it at a speed of 25 knots. The gun pointers at the forward | Bun saw the periscope several times for several seconds, but it disappeared each time- before they could get on, due to the zig-zagging of the ships. The J. passed about twenty-five yards ahead of a mass of bubbles which were coming up from the wake and let go a depth charge, just ahead. Several pieces of timber, quantities of oil, bubbles, and debris came to the surface. Nothing more was seen of the submarine. The attacks on the second group occurred about 800 miles to the east- ward of where the attacks had been made of the first group. 11. The voyage of the third group was uneventful. 12. In the forenoon of June 28, when in lat.—, long. —W., the K— opened fire on an object, about three hundred yardg distant which he thorught was a submarine. The com- mander of the group, however, did not concur in this opinion, but the reports - subsequently received from the commanding officer of the K— and Lieutenant V—are too circum- stantial to permit the incident from being ignored. The commanding of- ficer states: (b) The only unusual incident of the trip worth mentioning was on the 28th day of June about 10:46 a. m. The lookouts reported something right ahead of the K—. (I had the bridge at the time.) When I looked, I saw what appeared to be a very small object on the waters surface, about a foot or two high, which left a small wake; on:looking closer and with the aid of binoculars, I could make out a shape under the water about 250 to 300 yards ahead, and which was too large to-be a black- fish, lying in a position about 16 de- grees diagonally across the K—'s course. *“ (b) 1—1I ordered the port bow gun to open fire on the spot in the water ‘and sounded warning siren for convoy; when judging that ship had arrived above the spot first seen. I ordered right rudder in order to leave the submarine astern. “(b) 4—A minute the port after gun’s sighting a submarine on port quar- ter, and opened fire at the same time. The lookouts from the top also re- ported seeing the submarine under the water’s surface and about wher> the shots were landing. “ (b) 3—The ship kept zig zag- ging and firing from after guns every time something® was sighted. “ (b) 4—Lijeutenant V. U. S. N. was in personal charge of the firing and reports that he saw, with all the gun crews and lookouts aft, the sub- marine fire two torpedoes toward the direction of the convoy, which sheer- ed off from base course to right, 90 degrees, when alarm was sounded. “ (b) 5—AIll the officers and men aft had observed the torpedoes trave- ling through the water and cheered loudly when they saw & torpedo miss a transport. They are not certain though which one it was, as the ships were not in line and more or less scattered. “ (R-6.) The gunnery officer and all the men who were aft at the fir- ing are certain that they saw the submarine and the torpedo fired by sdme. “(b7.) A separate report of Lieu- tenant V., U. 8. N, the gunnery offi- cer, isherewith appended. : “p-8.) The K. kept zigzagging un- til it was considered that danger was past, and in due time joined the es- corts, and convoy formed column astern. “b-9.) teport by signal was made to group commander of sighting sub- marines and torpedoes. (Paragraph 13 deals exclusively with a recommendation as to the best methods to be employed in the fu- ture for the purpose of saving life. It is plain that this ought not to be made public.) 14.

London, Aug 2.—Admiral Sir John R, Jellicoe, First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff, in with the Associated Press discusses the submarine menace. “The Germans have not mastered E he said, “but we have not mas- tered the submarine. But we have re- duced the losses of merchant shipping. “There is no reason to doubt that the Germans have at sea lately a far larger number of submarines than in February and March, but, never- theless, with the invaluable assistance which America has rendered, we have prevented them from reaping the har- vest they anticipated. “Combatting the submarine de- mands the utmost effort on the part of all the countries which have joined forces to defeat Germany. “The two urgent needs of the moment are more patrol ships for hunting down submarines and an in- creased output of merchant shipping. Germany will hold out so long as there is the faintest hope of the suc- cess of the submarine warfare, Once its failure is demonstrated, the Ger- man peonle will recognize that defeat stares them in the face.” an interview SENATE VOTES FOR TRY AMENDHENT Easy-Victory for Prohibtion Ele- ment—Count Is 65 to 20.

Senator Page announced that Sena- tor Dillingham was in favor of sub- mission. He has a single pair with Senator Smith of Maryland, who, it is understood, would have voted against the resolution if he had been present. The vote, which, if upheld by the house, puts nation-wide bone-dry leg- islation directly up to the states, after many futile attempts to get it through congress came after a three days’' de- bate, during which the “wets” in the senate put up a hard fight to kill it. Before the adoption of the resolu- tion various amendments were offered to modify or strengthen it. One—by Senator Stone—contempjated that the government pay ample compensation tor loss to owners whose property was financially destroyed through the en- forcement of the proposed amend- ment. This was defeated by a vote of 0 to 31. Senator Harding put in an amend- ment to provide for a ten-vear period, in which to allow ratification of the resolution by three-fourths of the states. This was knocked out by a vote of 53 to 23. Plan to Save Beer Fails. So as to give the states the oppor- tunity of deciding if they wanted straight-out or partial prohibition. Senator Phelan of California put in an amendment precviding that the states might vote on nation-wide pro- hibition in the full sense and at the same time on the prohibition merely of distilled spirits. This latter would perrmnit the manufacture and sale of wine and beer. But Senator Phelan’s amendment was lost, 55 to 26. The Harding amendment, providing for the six-year period of ratification by the state, was adopted, 66 to 23. Senator Sheppard voted for it so as to insure the passage later of the res- olution. 2 The vote of Senator Stone in favor of the resolution caused some sur- | prise in the chamber, the Missouri senator having declared it. Mr. Stone allowed his name to be called without responding when the vote was taken, but as the clerk was about to an- nounce the vote he arose and asked to be recorded as in favor of the reso- lution. The senator had counted the votes and found that his own would not change the general result. Senator Sheppard needed only 57 votes of the 85 senators present to pass the resolution, the vote of 65 to 20 giving a majority of eight, more than the two-thirds required. In the course of the debate Sen- ator Calder declared that. if the reso- lution were passed it would cause serious hurt to industries that have long thriven under government pro- tection in the making of alcoholic drinks. “Tt is arbitrary legisiation of one state for another.” sald Senator Cal- der. “The 11.000.000 people in my do not want it.” or Penrose characterized it as ally and radically vicious” for states with lesser populations' attempt to legislate for those| greater populations, and said s action was sure to bring on tro “This whole idea is a revolution departure,” said Senator Pen: “from the fundamental principl American government.” [ Ao Laientas - GOFF CRUGER CASE JUDGH Famous Becker Case Jurist Selteg By Whitman.
