A British submarine sank the large German cruiser 'Prinz Adalbert
' on October 23rd off Libau. Only a few of the crew could be rescued. The crew normally numbered 557. Libau is the sea-base for Marshal von Hindenburg's operations. If British submarines can continue to operate outside the harbour, Marshal von Hindenburg should feel a still greater strain upon his resources in Courland. We regret to state, on the other hand, that the British transport 'Marquette' has been torpedoed in the Aegean. All but ninety-nine of the personnel were rescued. Another victim of submarine warfare was the Turkish transport 'Carmen,' which was sunk in the Sea of Marmora on October 24th when carrying munitions. The daring acts of British submarines in the Baltic continue. Thursday's papers reported the sinking of four more German merchantmen. We regret to add that they also reported the wreck of the British cruiser ' Argyll.' No lives were lost.
