FIRST ARMED j. S.
VESSEL IS SUNK
Aztec Torpedoed near French
Coast-Several Americans
among the Crew.

New York. April 1-rhs American
steamship Axtsc. hryt armed merchant
vessel to sail from . port on this side
OF the Atlantic. was sunk last night By
German submarine OF an island near
Brest. France The cable message from
the American consul at Brest which
brought the news Of the ships sinking
to her owners, the Oriental Navi9at:on
company. gave no inkling as 70 the fate
Of her crew. An Associated Press de-
spatch frVm Paris said, however. that
while some Of the men aboard the Aztec
were rescued a number Of them were uiiss-
ing and probably had perished.
The Aztec. under command Of Captain
Walter O'Brien. was manned by a crew
Of 80. Seventeen of this number. including
the captain. were American citizena.
The Aztec was armed with two 6-inch
guns. one forward and one aft. The crew
of naval gunners ON board WAS in COM
mand of a warrant officer.
Whether or no. the Aztec fought a los
ing battle with her undersea adversary
has not been disclosed. Her owners be-
lieve. however. that she had no chance
to fight since she was sunk at 9:15 at night
when a heavy sea was running.
In expressing the fear that the gunners
on the Aztec had no chance to show their
skill. 1t was recalled that the Cunard
liner Laconia. sent to the bottom of the
Irish coast on February Is. was sunk at
night and that no submarine was seen al
though a vigilant watch was kept.
The Aztec. a slow moving freighter
Of S.727 gross tonnage. steamed from
New York for Havre on March IS with
full cargo Of foodstuffs and gneral
supplies valued at more than $500. 900.
She was due at Havre tomorrow and
probably was less than 100 miles from
that port when torpedoed.
This fact has given hope to her own
ers that all the crew may be saved II
they had an opportunity to take to the
boats.
