HOBOKEN SUBMARINES.
SUCCESSFUL AIR RAID.
BOAT DESTROYED IN YARD. ANOTHER LOST AT SEA. (Received August 15. 9 p.m.) Amsterdam, August 14. A special correspondent of the Telegraaf, who visited the German submarine yards at Hoboken, near Antwerp, states that since March 19, nine submarines have been constructed. British airmen almost entirely destroyed one on April 26. Two have been launched and are now in service. The remainder are rapidly approaching completion. Since the successful British attack every possible precaution has been taken against aerial bombs. The yard is roofed with steel plating and covered with sandbags. Only the. hulls are constructed at Hoboken. All the interior parts are made in Germany. One of the submarines launched from Hoboken has already been lost. It was called the Kaiser Wilhelm. The second carried three officers, one petty officer, and 12 men.
