SUBMARINE LOST.
Commander's Notable Record Recalled. SALMON'S LAST EXPLOIT. (Received noon.) LONDON, July 21. An Admiralty communique states that the submarine Salmon (Commander E. O. Bickford) is considerably overdue and must be presumed to be lost.
It is recalled that the Salmon, under the same commander, let the Bremen go unmolested because he could not sink her without infringing international law; also that he sank a U-boat and torpedoed two German cruisers. A later message states that it is officially announced that the Salmon is lost. The Salmon, built in 1932, cost about £240,000. She had a displacement of about 750 tons and carried a complement of 40 men.
