BARENTS SEA OUTRAGE
SLAUGHTER BY SUBMARINE. (Rec. 1.30 p.m.) MOSCOW, Sept. 23. A German submarine in the Barents Sea sank two tug-boats and two barges several miles from the shore, and slaughtered 710 Russian women, children, and students. The submarine, after torpedoing the vessels, shelled and machine-gunned the lifeboats into which the survivors had scrambled, then rode down the survivors clinging to pieces of wreckage, and finally followed the few left who were making for the shore and machine-gunned them.
