vicinity of the stricken h47 and tried to communicate with the 21 men trap ped within her but without avail the lg9 tried to communicate with the h47 by sound telepathy using a bell with morse code but thero have been no answering signals diver bell reputed to be the best in the navy was taken from the cruiser renown and equipped with a special german diving suit in which ho will try to reach the missing men it was considered doubtful however that he would he able to descend to the 330foot depth in which the h47 lies the depth being far beyond that prac ticable for diving operations some may be alive an evening news dispatch from pembroke wales quoted an admiral ty official as saying there is a possi bility that some one may bo alivo on tho sunken submarine h47 wo shall carry on until wo have satisfied our selves a preliminary report on the sinking of the submarino h47 in st gcorgos channel revealed that tho submersible sank within a few seconds of being rammed by the l12 another under sea craft the admiralty announced that tho scaradmiral commanding submar ines had arrived at pembroke dock and proceeded to the position of the sunken vessel his preliminary report staled that both the h17 and l12 wero cruising on tho surface at 8 oclock in the morning when tho collision took place tho l12 struck tho h47 on tho port ide at right angles just abaft the foremost conniclo room the l12s bow penetrated about two feet and the h47 sank in a few seconds tho stricken craft went down con siderably by tho bow in a depth of b5 fathoms or 330 feet orders had been given to close watertight doors and abandon ship from tho evidence of lieut gardner tho commanding officer and of the telegraph operators who escaped from tho conning room it did not appear that the doors could have been closed at the time the l12 was carried down 10 feet nt an nngle of approximately 50 de grees bow down after the collision the captain officers and men on deck were thrown into the water and a considerable amount of water enter- el the submarino before the hatch ways could bo closd the admiral in hi3 report added i am coninced that thero is no possibility of any of the crew of the 1147 having remained alive more than a very few minutes the weather at tho moment is against the successful location of tho sunken vessel impetus to disarmament thero was somo talk in political circles that the disaster coupled with 16 other british submarino accidents since 1021 with a total loss of 319 officers and men would serve to give fresh impetus to pleas for abolition of submarines tho parliamentary expert of the liberal newspaper the star asserted today that tho consensus of the cab inet favors dropping the plan to build six submarines the disaster of the h47 is likely to strengthen tho determination to build no more of this type of craft as long as tho labor government is in office he said liberal opinion in tho house of commons will reinforce the government the stars expert declares the gov ernment originally had planned pro visionally to abandon completely the conservatives program of naval con struction of a number of destroyers a sloop six submarines a submarine parent ship and other craft only tho consideration of the ex tensive unemployment that immediate ly would follow the entire abandon ment of this program decided the gov ernment to revise its first intention he writes tho stars expert understand the cabinet yesterday discussed abandon ment of tho construction of submar ines and that it is likely to announce its decision in a few days if tho cabinet definitely decides to abandon submarine construction ho adds it will be a disarmament ges ture hound to be of considerable moral influence on other powers king george v sent a message to
