Vigilance Continued as U Boats Threaten Atlantic
An American steamer loaded with foodstuffs reached port after a submarine chase off the Virginia coast. Navy officials insist on constant vigilance in American waters, with future submarine visits likely and patrols to remain active. The Vinland was sunk 65 miles off Cape Henry, and the Vinland crew landed safely at Cape May. German submarine cruisers, though few in impact, are deemed useful for carrying valuable materials to Germany.
