U-Boat Fleet Sent To “Lay For” T. R.

I Copenhagen, June 15 (by mail). — The decision of President Wilson not to send Colonel Roosevelt to France brought disappointment to the German navy. A special squadron- of transport hunters was organized in the U-boat division to “lay for T. R.” This submarine flotilla was spoken of as “Teddy Jagger” or “Teddy Chasers.” These submersibles were the largest, swiftest and most heavily armed ever built. The flotilla went out and was grievously disappointed when the news came they would have no chance to “chase Teddy.”
