Wilson Will Guard U S Rights Not Declare War
Reports on Friday list six vessels as victims in the German U boat campaign, five neutrals and one British steamship, totaling 10,424 tons. No Americans reported affected as fronts show little activity and censorship blocks casualty specifics. Sources say direct gunfire from warships has been most effective against submarines, with four to six pound projectiles noted as best weapons. Montreal report adds German subs sunk: six of seventy-eight armed ships through submarine zone.
