was sunk off Land's End Tuesday Rush To Spot Civic guards patrolling the coast saw the submarine on the surface and rushed to the said the press association's account but they were too late to detain the German U-boat While they were still some distance away the sub- marine moved away from the coast and started to submerge When the guards actually reached the scene of the the only evidence of the daring maneuver of the German U-boat commander was a stretch frothy sea where the submarine dis- appeared and a group seamen were on the shore Six of the survivors were taken to Dingle hospital for

is taking to meet it Torpedoes have been improved since the World War but so have depth main offensive weapon against submarines The modern heater torpedo driven by steam and equally exploited by Great Britain and Germany does not leave the objectionable and telltale bubble track that was a fault of the com- type By watching the bubbles clever helmsmen were able to dodge after the old-style

charge must explode from a submarine to crush its hull is a says Lieut Commander Kenneth Edwards a British naval authority in a standard work But even if it does not crush it com- it is liable to do extensive damage Britain has virtually abandoned tho nets slung on booms from the sides of ships during the World War The nets seldom proved strong enough to stop a torpedo and their weight reduced speed and hampered Bigger and stronger nets de- signed to stop and entangle an attacking submarine itself now arc strung across the entrances to every British port however Page 12 WASHINGTON Oct 5 ator Nye demanded day that the administration agree to divorce proposed repeal of the arms embargo from its cash and carry program of neutrality lation Proponents of the administration legislation he charged are taking I the position that repeal of the i embargo must be effected before other provisions of the pending neutrality which would restrict the nation's foreign trade could be enacted That he asserted misleads the people and jeopardizes the peace of the United States There is no good he told his colleagues why we should not have both the arms embargo and the cash and carry provision One of the leaders of the tion to the in its present form Nye declared There can toe quick passage through the Senate and through the House of legislation to provide a provision to cover all commerce which is not covered by the existing embargo law Against Repeal I want that kind of law have wanted it for a long time proposed and stood with others here in urging its enactment into law I now stand ready to do thing possible to bring about the passage of that kind of legislation but not if the repeal of the arms embargo is the price to paid for it Nye took the floor after Senator j Tobey had spoken in support of his proposal first ad- yesterday to split the ent in two enact now the ping controls and other similar visions and take up later the tion of the embargo While the historic debate forth on the Senate floor for the fourth day Senator George told reporters that he expected Democratic authors of the pending to meet soon and consider modification of the shipping and financial provisions On the House side Rep charging strategists of the arms embargo repeal drive with committing a sly legislative demanded that the House be permitted a full 30 days debate on neutrality legislation Sly Trick The strategists of the embargo repeal drive have resorted to a sly legislative trick in an effort to de- prive House members from having due opportunity to consider any legislation now passed by the he said At the While House Senator Bridges after H ence with President Roosevelt told reporters he was in just the same position as I was before on Senator Overtoil
