Twenty-Five Years Ago
Cm oj the most daring and significant submarine operations recorded to date was that of Ell which sank, in the Sea of Marmora, a vessel containing ammunition, heavy howitzers, gunmountings and a six-inch gun. She also torpedoed a supply ship with a heavy cargo of stores. Another submarine entered Constantinople waters and discharged a torpedo at a transport alongside the aisenal. American newspapers, commenting on the sinking of the Nebraska, commented that if it were proved that the ship was torpedoed, a virtual act of war had been perpetrated by Germany. An envoy was reported to have gone from Constantinople to Berlin to announce to the Kaiser that separate peace would be concluded by Turkey. In the Galician drive, it was estimated that 106,000 casualties had been sustained by the enemy. A definite phase in the Persian, campaign was the occupation of Urkmiah by the Russian commander.
