U. S. to Probe Into Sinking of Tug. The collision which caused the merchant submarine Deutschland to abandon her return voyage to Germany almost ,at its outset Friday, when a convoying tug, the T. A. Scott, Jr., was sunk with a crew of five men, was the subject of federal investigation. The United States inspectors of sea vessels, headed by Capt. W. E. Withy, heard three witnesses in the conditions under which the submarine, slipping out under the cover of darkness, so that she might submerge in neutral waters before daybreak, ran down the tug which was acting as a protector, off Ree Rock, just outside the port. The testimony came from Capt. Paul Koenig, of the Deutschland. It was given in secret, but it became known through statements outside that chamber that the collision was an accident.

However, the beer is gone and the leading question is “Who stole the booze ?
