CONVOY AND U-BOATS
GERMAN CLAIM
LONDON, Sept. 24. The first news of what was probably the submarine attack to which Mr. Churchill referred in his speech on September 21 has come in from Berlin, which claims that a pack of U-boats won successes in a two-day battle in the Atla’ntic against the escorts of a British convoy going to America. The Berlin News Agency says: “One U-boat pack sank 12 escorting destroyers and torpedoed three, which probably sank. Heavy fog impeded further operations, but nine ships, totalling 46.500 tons, were sunk, and two others were hit.”
To-day’s German communique says that small-type British submarines on Wednesday attempted to penetrate Norwegian fiords, but were destroyed.
