THE ARIEL'S VICTIM. DOUBT AS TO IDENTITY 'OF SUBMARINE. LONDON, March 11. There is some doubt as to which .of the. German submarines iell a victim to the smart seamanship of the destroyer Ariel. It was at first reported to be U2O, but later accounts gave the number as Ul2. Ten of the crew of 28 were saved. Judging by the number of the crew, either the numbering of the submarine has been altered to deceive England, or Germany is training double crews. A submarine has been sighted in Dublin Bay.
