Harwich, England, November 20

In complete silence and without any demonstration by the people of Harwich, 20 German submarines were brought into the harbor here yesterday morning. The officers and seamen who had manned them before their surrender were at once transferred to two enemy destroyers, which will carry them back to Germany. As the submarines entered Harwich harbor the white ensign was run up on each of them, with the German flag underneath. The vessels were met shortly after seven o'clock yesterday morning by Admiral Tyrwhitt's squadron of light cruisers at the appointed place of rendezvous. They had no flags, their hatches were open, and their crews with the exception of the engineers, were grouped on deck. All the British gun crews were at their posts ready for any possible treachery. The undersea pirates were not deprived of their liberty for a moment. They merely handed over the vessels by the use of which they had slaughtered indiscriminately non-combatant seamen, the wounded on hospital ships and the women and children on passenger liners.
