BRITISH SUBMARINES IN MEDITERRANEAN
(8.0. W.) RUGBY, Jan. 15. The latest list of successes by British submarines in the Mediterranean is announced in an Admiralty communique, which states; “A submarine commanded by Commander B. Bryant sank a minesweeper with gunfire and a torpedo after taking a number of prisoners. The same submarine sank a small supply ship, scored two torpedo hits on another one, and took prisoners from a small vessel laden with petrol which was attacked off the coast of Tripolitania.
“Two fully-laden small ships bound for Tripoli with supplies for the enemy were sunk off the eastern Tunisian coast by a submarine commanded by Lieutenant H. B. Turner. "A submarine commanded by Lieutenant A. C. G. Mars torpedoed and probably sank a large merchantman off Naples. It also bombarded land targets on the southern Italian coast.”

They took into custody 12 persons, including a lawyer, a dentist, business men, and students. In other parts of the city the police seized large quantities of chemicals, including sulphuric acid. —Bombay, January 15.
