Trip For More Troops
Bp Assaciatcd Press

Washington, Nov. f.. The
transport Finland was recently
torpedocd while returning TO the
United States. but was able to
return to foreign port under
her own steam.
The Navy Department re-
ceived report OF the attack and
Secretary Daniels authorized its
publication. The Navy report
does rot say whether there was
any loss of life or injury on the
Finland.
The Navy Department has re-
ceiVcd dispatches stating that
the transport Finland was tor
pcdocd while returning from
foreign waters. The damage to
the ship was slight and she re-
turned to port under her own
steam. The Finland was under
escort but no sight of the tor
pedO or the submarine was seen.
The Finland is one of the
largest steamers flying the
American flag. Before going into
the Army transport service she
piled between New York and
European ports i'm the Interna-
tiCnal Mercantile Marine Com
pany's service under the Red
Star and other lines. The vessel
has q gross tonnage of 1896
and n net tonnage of 7,711. She
normally carries a crew of 257
men. The Finland was built i'm
Philadelphia in 1902. Her home
port is New York.
