TRANSPORT sunk
BY SUBMARINE.
Troopship, Returning g
Empty, Is Prey Of
German U-Boat
(By Associated Press.2

Washington, June 25.-German
submarines operating on this side
of the Atlantic ocean have sunk their
first transport. The navy depart
ment announced today that q Brit
ish transport. under charter by the
American government and bound to
this country, had been destroyed
June 18, some 700 miles east of the
Delaware -eapes, and that 81 men,
bers of the crew are missing. There
were no troops aboard.
The troop ship apparently was not
under convoy. The submarine was
not seen until a torpedo had struck
the ship. Afterward the submersibIe
rose TO the surface and fired nine
teen shots into the sinking vessel.
When the steamer settled the crew
took to the boats, the occupants Of
four of which, numbering 81 men,
have been landed. Three boats are
missing and a search is being made
for them.
The fact that the British vessel
was sunk far of the coast led Of
fiCials TO believe she had either en-
countered homebound submarine
that had been operating In American
waters or else one that was bound
here for further raids on shipping.
The fact that the sea wolves which
first appeared of the coast a month
ago have not been seen lately led
most officers to believe they had re-
turned to their home ports.

Amsterdam, June 25.-Chief blame

fear Of contradiction, as the result of

into the causes Of this war the
clearer it becomes that the power
which planned and desired the war
was Russia, that France played the
next worst role as instigator, and
that EngIand's policy has very dark
pages to show"
DR.. Won Kuehlmann declared that
Germany could not bind herself to
any pledges in regard to Belgium.
Referring to Germany's war aims,
DR.. Won Kuehlman said I'VE wish

FRANCE HOPES
FOR BOLD STROKE
Urges Italy To Turn Vic
tory Into Decisive Of
fensive Blow
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, June 25.-An official
dispatch from Rome today, says the
Austrians are in full retreat, and
that papers taken from prisoners
show that Austria had not con-
templated the possibility Of defeat
and was promising her soldiers this
offensive would be the Last stroke to
put Italy out Of the war.
The dispatch follows:
The Austrians are in fun retreat,
They evidently foresaw the possi-
bility Of an Italian defeat, but never
anticipated the possibility Of their
own defeat. Papers found on all the
prisoners say that the offensive
against Italy was to be the last
stroke which would put Italy out OF
the war and force her to make sepa-
rate peace. The Austrian soldiers
were promised food and booty. This
explains the extraordinary bravery
with which the Austrians have
fought.
IN the region of Montello the
Italians have found, the body of
Aviator Major Baracca, who had
failed to return during the first days
Of the operations in that region. A
bullet was found In the right tenn
