MIGHT BE SWISS
BUT NOT CANADIAN SUBMARINES SIGHTED OFF AMERICA. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S JEST. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day. 9.40 a.m.) WASHINGTON, September 22. President Roosevelt has announced that two foreign submarines have been sighted off Alaska and Nova Scotia. He jokingly replied to questioners that they might be Swiss, but inferentially denied that they were Canadian. The President left the impression that he was disturbed at the penetration in the neighbourhood of territorial waters and drew attention to the continuous activity of the neutrality patrol since September 6. A message from Ottawa states that Canada has no submarines.
