VICTORIOUS GENERALS GO . . FROM RUSSIA TO SERBIA COPENHAGEN, Oct 15.—A British submarine torpedoed and sank a German destroyer this morning at the southern entrance to the Sound, a narrow strait between Denmark and Sweden which connects the Baltic with the North Sea, All members of the destroyer’s crew were lost. A message from Falsterbo, Sweden, which brought news of this incident says a German cruiser and three destroyers were engaged with the British submarine. The German craft moved in circles to avoid the attack of the submarine, which was bombarded heavily. This continued for some time, until the submarine lodged a torpedo in the destroyer, which sank with a terrific explosion, The other German warships are said to have speeded to the southward. The submarine rose to the surface and remained on the scene for some time before it dis- appeared, A sharp lookout from the Danish coast is being kept, but no sur- vivors have been found.
