AN ATLANTIC PORT, July IL
The marines were "the first ashore"
in France. Also, 1t was one OF their
transports that the German suDma'
rines fired on.
That the tradition OF the marines
was fully lived up to in the landing
of Americas first expeditiOnary army
in France, was learned here today.
And with this came a first hand
story OF one OF the attacks on the
American transports and their con-
voys.
The lookout on the marines trans
port could not see the submarines,
owing to the darkness. He dis
tinctly saw the wake of two tor
pedoes, however, one passing the
bow and the other the stern of the
ship. The destroyers were In full
cry after the submarines, but the
guns aboard the transport let go in
the general direction in which the U
boats were believed to be. Then the
destroyers swung into the line and
the transport had to cease firing.
One destroyer coming from Europ-
can waters which met the American
fleet, reported her belief that she
had sunk u boat few days before.
The destroyer had answered the call
of one vessel in distress, when she
heard another. Then, only short
distance away, submarine was sight
ed. The destroyer put full steam on,
charged directly at the U boat, pass
ed over the spot where the subma-
rine dived and as she did so, let go
a depth mine. With the explosion Of
the mine a vast quantity of wreckage
and oil came to the surface, members
of the crew said. This is probably
the same incident reported by j. W.
Pegler, United Press staff correspond
ent, from the flotilla base in British
waters. some time ago. The details
are precisely the safe.

ed the iron cross" was the. way the
destroyer crew reported their exploit
to their fellow jackies.
In addition to the brush with sub
marines enroute to France. men Of
at least one of the transports, believe
one U boat was sighted on their re-
turn trip. The submarine was con-
siderable distance away. Shots were
fired at her, but the U boat dived.
