ENEMY SUBMARINES
CAMPAIGN OFF AMERICA ANOTHER VESSEL SUNK (Rec. 7 p.m.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 26. The Navy Department announced that the freighter Venore was torpedoed and sunk off the Atlantic coast. Twenty-two members of the crew have not been accounted for. It is the eighth ship attacked off the coast since January- 14. Admiral Greenslade, commandant of the Twelfth Naval District, declared that a Japanese submarine raid on San Francisco was “ very probable,” and added that such a raid, in which a submarine might come to the surface and shell the city, would have a nuisance value for the effect on civilian morale and provide material for Japanese propaganda.
