Jan. 15.—German newspa- pers, in referring to the Anglo-Amer- ican measures against submarines, in- dicate that the employment of the depth charge has been greatly in- creased and perfected since the Amer- jcan destroyers arrived in European water: In the old days the destroyer was content to drop two or three depth charges in the viclnity where the submarine was last seen, but now, according to the German accounts, it & not unusual to find the destroyers persisting 1n the business of dropping depth bombs umtil as many as forty have been exploded, thus cpvering a large area where the submarine is likely to be hiding. The Germans admit that this is a very unpleasant business for the operators of the U-boats. Thus the Norddeutsche Allgemenine Zeitung contains the following aceount of the experiences of a U-boat man in the water patrolled by the American de- stroyers: “One of our submarines shot =2 heavily laden steamer of 5,000 tons out of a convoy A violent enemy counter attack followed. The destroy- ers left the convoy and followed the ubmarine and in the course of a few minute dropped thirty-nine water bombs ound the spot where the U- boat was supposed to be submerged. Lackily they fail to hit -her, and our U-boat escaped unscathed. The same submarine was previ- ously followed by two airplanes from midday until evening and pelted with twenty-three hombs, but escaped.” The same newspaper contains an count of a submarine cruiser wh had a narrow. escape from destruction in the explosion of a munition ship whieh she torpedoed from too close a range. The steamer, runs the account blew up “with a terrific detonation, wrapped in a column of flame and the next second the flames disappeared and the steamer was gone. The force of the explosion upset the submarine’s steering apparatus and did other damage, but the crew finally succeeded in effecting repai so that the U-boat managed ot get into port.
