Stewart (Copyright, 1017. by the United Ire) BUBDNOS AYRES, Jan, 20.~Pigmy submarines—18 fect in length—are carried by the German ralder which has wrought such damage to Allied shipping In Atlantic waters. The captain of the captured British steamer Netherby Hall, among those Ia at Pernambuco from the Ger- man prize ship Hudson Maru, was authority for this statement to-day. “Three submarines afe carried by the raider,” he sald in an interview at Pernambuco, "They are capable of operation over @ small radius and are equipped with torpedoes, dyna- mite and ammunition.” {An 18-foot submarine fs smaller than any heretofore reported. If this measurement is accurate it appears that the Germans may dave adopted the suggestion at- tributed some time ago to Henry Ford, automobile manufacture: for “one-man submarines.” Sub- marines now in use in various world navies run anywhere from 100 to 200 feat In length, and some of the German ruper-submarines have been reported as being much larger than this.) Buch additional details as this, in- dicating the typical German thor- onghneas with which the raider was prepired and equipped, led shipping circles to predict a long chase by al- lied warships before the m ourge is cornered The moat detatied déseription of the German raider yet given was revealed by the captain of the Notherby Hall, in despatches from Pernambuco, “I bowan calling for help by wire- leas the moment I sighted the ralder,’ he said. “I kept this up until a shot across the bows of my ship showed it was useless for me to try to escape. The raider was equipped with sev- eral machine guns in addition to ber cannon and in addition carried three @ubmarines about 18 feet long, cap- able of being operated over a small radius and ayulpped with torpedoes, dynamite and ammanition, “I would put the raiders speed at twenty-two knots and she always travelled at top speed during the day- time. At night she slowed up, but her engine room crew was always held in readiness to jam on her full Bpeed.” Additional description from the captain of the Radnorshire to-day fave these new details of his ex- perience, further indicating the raider had converted one of ber prizes Into another commerce de- etroyer: “Another ship was constantly with the raider. The captain of the vessel which captured us—which was the ralder herself—was most considerate. “‘l am delighted that you did not resist us,” he told me, ‘otherwise I would have been compelled to shoot you and your ship to pieces.” “Immediately after our capture this commander told me he expected the captured Hudson Matu within a from | |in America that Leone cat AC HER REMOTE > ecm sn BiG STEANSHP ~ CALLS FOR HELP | German officer explained he war | keeping them to work in the engine room, but that they would be released | soon,” ad YARROW DALE TAKEN TO PRUSSIAN PORT ON THE BALTIC SEA AMSTERDAM, Jan, 20 (via Lon- don).—According to an official state.) ment from Berlin, says the Gazette, the British steamer dale, carrying crews of steamers cap- tured by the German raider In the Atlantic, brought Into the port of Swinemuende, Vruasia, Is Unable to Identify Ves- sel in Distress.
