FIFTEEN MEN IMPRISONED.

ALL EVENTUALLY RESCUED

BERLIN, Jan. 18. Ihe berman submarine U3, a large vessel of 300 tons, dived to the bottom of Kiel Harbor to-day, and stayed there.

The crew sent up a telephone wire by means of a buoy, and this was quickly picked up by a boat's crew from one of the warships, and attached to an instrument.

Communication having been established, the officer in charge of the submerged vessel- reported that he and the crew were all well, and in no immediate danger, having oxygen enough to last two days. The salvage ship Spulkan got to work on the sunken submarine at once. -Powerful cranes were rigged, ropes and chains were attached to the submarine, and late m the afternoon she was safely hauled to the surface. The officers and crew were unhurt in any way. The trouble was caused by the accidental filling of the bunkers.
