The first encounter. the night OF

the conveying destroyers. whose ac-
curate gunfire directed on the enemy
craft. as revealed by the moving rays
Of the searchlights. speedily routed
the attacking forces
American gunnery told effectively in
the second skirmish. few days later.
A protecting screen OF destroyers
thrown around the transports held the
raiders at a safe distance, while the
presence of oil and wreckage on the
surface of the sea after the battle In.
dicated the destruction OF one ana
probably more of the undersea Fes-
sells.
Both attacks were made far out on
the Atlantic. beyond the ordinary
range of submarine activities. That

admiralty had been furnished with in

to be taken by the American con-
tingent Every effort is being made
to run down the spies who are believed
TO have furnished this information TO

omcial Story Of the Attack.
The oficial story Of the submarine
attack on the troop ships Is told in
the following statement issued by Sec
retary Daniels:
..It is with the Joy of a great relief
that l announce to the people OF the
United States the safe arrival IN
France of every fighting man and every
fighting ship.
Now that the last vessel has reached
port it Is safe to disclose the dangers
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 C-boats were beaten on
with every appearance OF loss. one
was certainly sunk and there is reason
to believe that the accurate fire of our
sunners sent others to the bottom.
Divided Into Contingents.
For purposes of convenience, the ex-
pedition was divided into contingents,
each contingent including troop ships
and naval escort designed to keep of
such German raiders as might be met.
IAN ocean rendezvous had also been
arranged with the American destroy
ers now operating in European waters
in order that the passage of the dan
ger zone might be attended by every
possible protection.
The first attack took place at 1890
on the night OF June % What gives
i. peculiar and disturbing significance
is that our ships were set upon at
point well this side of tine rendezvous
ard in that part of the Atlantic pre-
sumably free from submarines.
though the night made impossible any
exact count of the U-boats gathered
for what they deemed slaughter.
The high seas convoy. circling with
their searchlights. answered with
heavy gunfire, and its accuracy stands
proved by the fact that the torpedo
discharge became increasingly scat
tered and inaccurate. 1t is not known

Praise for Secretary Daniels.

The committee made every effort to
locate this person, but was unable to
do so.
I'VE must give long credit mark to
Secretary Daniels for the successful
way in WHICH the expedition was safe
guarded" said Senator Page.
"Wonderful," was the comment of SEN
atcr Hoke Smith OF Georgia In regard
to the manner In which the sending of
the expedition to France had been ac-
complished. 1T shows the way the army
and navy are pulling together and
augurs we'll for the future"
Senator Smith Of South Carolina and
Senator Husting of Wisconsin joined
in the praise of the army and navy for
the capable way in which the expedi-
tion had been handled.
THE Germans may gather from this
exploit that the United States armed
forces are not to be ignored" said SEN
ator HustinH.

German Spy System Efficient.

He said he had no doubt but what the
government was doing all in it's power
to apprehend these spies. The German
spy system. he said. had proved remark
ably efficient during this war, particular
ly In Great Britain. where troops and
ship movements had been tipped of
repeatedly to Germany.
Senator Chamberlain expressed great
qualification upon the safe arrival of
the entire expeditionary force and the
good work done by the navy in protect
ing the transports.
Senator Page of Vermont. a member
Of the naval affairs committee. gave 1t
as his belief that a spy was at work
in the Navy Department.
Just recently, during the investiga-
ton by the naval affairs committee
into the ammunition accident on boa d

ARMED merchant ships,' he said. lit

but five were counted as they sped by
bow and stern.
Second Attack Repulsed.
"a second attack was launched few
days later against another contingent.
The point of assault was beyond the
rendezvous and our destroyers were
sailing as a screen between the trans
ports and all harm. The results OF the
battle were in favor of American gun
merry.
Not alone did the destroyers hold
the U-boats at safe distance, but
their speed also resulted in the sinking

vessels the contingent proceeded. and
joined the others in a French port.
The whole nation will rejoice that
so great a peril is passed for the van

Secretary Baker Expresses Thanks.
Secretary Baker wrote the following
letter to Secretary Daniels, conveying
the army's thanks to the navy:
Word has just come to the War De-
partment that the last ships conveying
Cen Pershing's expeditionary force to
France arrived safely today. AS you
know, the navy assumed the RESPONSE
