900 SURVIVORS REACH HARBOR

PARIS, March 2. Official reports to the ministry of marine today increased to nine hundred the total of survivors saved from when the' French liner and auxiliary cruiser La Provence was sunk in the Mediterranean. The naval experts of the Peit Parisian presents the theory that the submarine which destroyed La Provence lay in wait for the ship far below the surface of the water, and was guided in its movements by the sound of the liner's propellors. The submarine probably approached within five hundred yards and rose to the surface just long

enough, to. launch the torpedo, the. experts add. 'It then plunged quickly before ' it was perceived by the lookouts. A torpedo could easily have traversed the short distance , to the liner without its wake attracting attention, the experts asserted.
