The American transport Antilles was
torpedoed and sunk In the war zone
while returning from France and four
teen soldiers and 156 others were lost,
but the Tuscania Is the first ship car
rying American troops to Europe to Do
sunk by a submarine.
American warships conveying trans

attacks. w..
Carried British Crew.
The Tuscania, until last fall, had
been in the transatlantic trade but
tho sinking Indicated that she recently
had been engaged In transporting
American troops. She carried a Brit

warships.
The use Of British vessels to carry
American troops had recently been

against American transports.
The general belief here Is that the
Tuscania stumbled on the submarine.
