Arrives in france After Being Attacked by Submarines. WHEN THEY ATTACKED VESSHL OF UNCLE SAM. Exciting Experiences With Submar- ines in Atlantic--No American Vessel Damaged and No Soldier _ Lost. A French Seaport, July 2.--(De- layed.)--The last units of the Am- erican Expediticnary Force, com- prising vessels loaded with supplies and horses, arrived here to-day, amid the screeching of whistles and moan- ing of sirens. Their coming, one week after the first troops landed, was greeted almost as warmly as the arrival of the troops themselves, be- cause it meant complete success of the undertaking. The Troopships Attacked. Washington, July 4.--At least one and probably more German submar- ines were sunk in two attacks made by them last week on the rear con- tingent of tRe Pershing Expedition- ary Force proceeding to France un- der convoy of American warships. The Germans made their first attack in force the night of June 22nd, at] 10.30 o'clock at a point far out in the Atlantfe Ocean which was presum- ably free from submarines. The con- voy protected the transports by us- ing their big guns so effectively that the torpedo fire of the U-boats was scattered and ineffective. The second attack was made by German submar- ines beyond the rendezvous where the transports and their convoy were to be picked up by U. S. destroyers sent out by Vice-Admiral William 8. Sims to furnish additional protection for them through the submarine war zone. The resuMs of this, the first im- portant battle between American and German naval forces in the war, was a victory for the former. The attack failed 40 result in-even as much as the scoring of a hit against the Am- erican vessels by the German sub- marines. One U-boat is known to have been lost and the reports to the Navy Department indicate that more of them were destroyed. Not only was no American vessel hurt, but no American life was lost in transport- ing the first large force of American soldiers to France. Germans Laid Careful Plans. The German Admiralty is believed to have taken extraordinary precau- tions to play havoc with the Ameri- can transports. It is the belief of naval officers here that the lull in the German submarine warfare that immediately preceded the sailing of the expedition was caused by the calling in of German submarines GERMAN PLUNGERS SUNK SPECIAL!
