FOREIGN SUBMARINES
FOUR MORE REPORTED OFF AMERICAN SHORES WASHINGTON, Mar. 25.
A New York World Telegram report from Washington says that four more submarines— supposedly Russian —were added to-day to the number of undersea craft already announced officially as having been sighted off American shores in the Pacific. The World Telegram report adds that “ this would place the number of definitely sighted submarines at seven. The new figure came from a reliable source, which also disclosed that foreign submarines—presumably of the Red Fleet —had been operating near American bases in the Pacific for about a year.”
A mesage on Saturday said: Submarines not belonging to any nations west of the “ iron curtain ” had been sighted off the American shores recently. This was stated by the Secretary of the Navy, Mr John L. Sullivan, in the Senate Armed Services Committee.
