Remove Bodies From Submarine
PORTSMOUTH, N. H., Sept. 13-• (UP)—Twenty-six men of the crew of the submarine Squalus reached ; their home port today 115 days late, j One by one, their bodies were carried from the after section while their 33 more fortunate shipmates, including their commander, stood (
rigidly at attention.
The work started a little before | midnight and proceeded through the j night under flood lights. The navy j permitted no outsiders to witness j the denouement of its tragedy. The Squaius nau oeen lowed to the navy yard after salvage workers had struggled for months to lift her fr im her grave 240 feet below the surface of the Atlantic where she sank May 21 during a practice dive. The water weighted stern sank be- i low water at the dock yesterday 1 morning. The salvagers lifted it | again. Then the Squalus' colors were raised on her conning tower bridge and compressed air forced water from the after compartments. When all was ready, Lieut. Oliver Naquin, two other surviving officers, and the surviving crew who escaped in a diving bell, lined up at attention. The | first drowned sailor was taken from i
the engine room where death found him at his post. The bodies were taken to the Yard hospital for identification and preparation for burial. Relatives will order their disposal. Sometime today, cranes will lift the $4,300,000 submarine, covered with slime and rust, into dry-dock where a naval board of inquiry will inspect her. She was launched one year ago yesterday and it is estimated that $2,000 000 will be needed to put her in service again.

The enemy which attacked south of Pirmasens, near the Swiss border, Sept. 12, was forced hack over the frontier by our artillery fire. “No air attacks took place on German Reich territory.” The German high command denied dispatches attributed to the French new agency Havas and to the Polish telegraph agency reporting “heavy German losses, including 13,000 taken prisoners, 280 planes shot down and 170 armored cars captured.” The high command commented: “These figures are poor inventions. The German losses in Poland were only a very small percentage of this fantastic figure. Polish attempts by means of false reports to conceal the destruction of the Polish army from tne world is the most bitter evidence of the most complete Polish Collapse.”
