WITH THE U-BOATS

ITALIAN SUBMARINES New York, March 10. The first indication that Italian submarines had joined the Nazi Üboat packs off the eastern coast of America comes from an officer of the torpedoed Brazilian freighter Arabutan. He said that the submarine which sank his ship came close enough to his lifeboat for him to observe the crew, who were small in stature, black haired, and swarthy complexioned like the Italians. A Havana message states that all 39 members of the crew of the United States tanker Nenead have arrived at a Cuban port after the vessel was torpedoed and shelled in the western Atlantic. Twenty-two survivors from the United States steamer Carodia, which was sunk in the Atlantic, have arrived at a Haitian port.
