At least one submarine was sunk
Both of the attacks were made in
force. showing that the Germans had
information Of the coming of the
transports and planned to get them.
This announcement was issued:
1.-THE navy department at five
o'clock this afternoon received word
of the safe arrival at French port
of the last contingent of General
.Pershing's expeditionary force. At the
same time information was released
that the transports were twice attack

that others were Destroyed III the first
night attack"
Secretary Daniels made this state
ment:
1t is with the joy of great relief
that | announce to the people of the
United States the safe arrival In
France of every man and every fight
ing ship.
Now that the last vessel has reach
ed port, 1t is safe to disclose the dan
gers that were encountered and to
tell the complete story of peril and
courage.
"The transports bearing our troops
were twice attacked by German sub
marines on the way across. On both
occasions, the U-boats were beaten on
with every appearance of loss. One
was certainly sunk, and there i3 rea-
son to believe that the accurate fire
of our gunners sent others to the
bottom.
"For purposes of convenience. the
expedition was divided into contin-
gents, each contingent including troop
ships and naval escort designed 10
keep off such German raiders as
might be met.
"An ocean rendezvous had also been
arranged with the American destroy
ers now operating in European Va
ters in order that the passage OF the
danger zone might be attended by eV-

lose a large tobacco barn by fire

tobacco that had just been cured. The
fires had been banked and Mr.. Knight
had just left for his house near by

pretty poor anyway when 1t comes to

ever his duty may call him your boy
will nave a friend that will serve him
in body, mind and soul? Are you
glad to know that this friend will place
books and magazines at his disposal,
ever he wants to learn. give him a
pocket testament and invite him to
join religious meetings Of the faith
that he was brought up in? Did you
realize that the association provides
athletic equipment for his favorite
games, teaches him games II he knows
none and holds concerts, lectures,
movies, Bible classes, dramatic enter
tainments and every kind Of whole
some amusement to keep him interest
ed? Are you glad to know that this
friend will go with him overseas, help
to shield him from a score of difficult
and dangerous temptations and follow
him right up to the front line trench
and beyond itH The last contact the
soldier has with this life he loves so
well Is q cup of tea given him by the
Y. M. c. A free just before he goes
"over the top" to hand to hand strug-
gle with the enemy. And as he comes
tottering back from No Mans Land,
wounded, but strong enough and
plucky enough to keep on his feet,
even before his wounds are dressed
the Y. M. c. A. is waiting for MIN with
tea and sweet chocolate, the great COM

you wonder that the Red Triangle is
called 1.-The best loved trademark in
the world?" One soldier in France has

~ T was evening on the broad
81 Hampstead Plain, Long Island
where the Rainbow division was
spending its last night before embark
Ing for France. 1t had been raining
hard in the afternoons cold, steady
autumn downpour-and there was
nothing to suggest the rainbow In the
outward aspect Of the camp. Lines.
and lines Of sodden canvas housed
$1,000 men, gathered from ~ different
states. The ground was dotted with
pools and quagmires. Under the wet
canvas 1t was damp and cold, with q
penetrating chilli. Lit by Pickering
candles, the tents were Tar from cheer
full shelter for a mans last night In
his native land.
But there were seven big tents
where electric lights, numbers and
friendlinsss made the night pleasant.

In each Of these a soldier was strum-
ming on q piano; others were reading
books and magazines; hundreds were
writing letters home. Behind the
raised counter at one end three or four
young men wese busy passing out
notspaper and envelopes, selling
stamps and weighing parcels, which
the mon were sending home. One OF
the soldiers said to me as l stood in
the tent used chiefly by men from
Iowa: I'VE came all the way here
from Des Moines, and we were mighty
lonely. Then we found this Y. M. G.
A. on the Job, and it's been q home
and more than home to US. 1t gave
US what We wanted when we needed
It most. Wen never forget 1t. The

How close those benches were pack

Immediately Of the sacrifice they have
made for the rest of US and how pre-

Somewhere. in far of farm or village
or city street, there are parents or
brothers or wives who would give all
they possess for one glimpse OF those
sunburnsd faces as you and l see
them ON their last night before going
aczoaa. And It was with throb of
the heart that watched them, bent
over their letter paper, in one after
another Of those seven big tents.
These were the tents of the Y. d.. G.
4 On that last night in America the
association was serving the soldiers
in the best Of all ways-giving them
an opportunity to write home. On
previous nights they had enjoyed box

ana q score OF healthy entertainments
a. well as religious meetings. But on
this last night home ties were strong
