Germans open With Artillery a. Pre-

[By the Associated Press.1
With the American Troops in France.
Sept. 10.-At $50 O'Clock this morn
ing the Germans began a heavy artil-
lery action on the American front
lines in the vosges region, sending
over some 200 projectiles from their
mine throwers and a thousand heavy
caliber shells. At 500 the enemy
opened up q strong hre on the COM
munication trenches. Reports from
two Observation stations were that
sixty Germans were observed e1tering
their own lines with wounded but no
reports have been received from the
American front line at this hour.
It seems probable that the raid which
developed after the artillery fire was
beaten OF with casualties to the
enemy.

From Chicago and Cleveland, Show
Crest Courage in Face Of Oisaster-|
Now Safe in England.

London, Sept. ia troop ship with
1900 American soldiers on board has
been tospedoed. All hands we're saved.
The troop ship was beached.
In order to save time. instead OF
lamnching the boats the men climbed
down ropes to destroyers which
swarmed around the stricken vessel
and came close alongside.
The operations were greatly facih-
tated by the fact that the sea was not
rough.
Press they saw the German submarine
lifted clear out Of the water after a
depth bomb from destroyer had been
dropped, and then entirely disap-
peared.
The troops ship was toypelioed 200
miles from shore at o'clock on Fri
day afternoon.
Transfer Without Accident.
The transfer OF the American SOL
diers to escorting American and Brit
ish torpedo boat destroyers was made
without injury to anyone.
They all escaped injury when tho
torpedo exploded and they were soon
on their way to a British port.
There was no sign Of panic on board
and the admirable behavior OF the
men was especially gratifying to the
officers.
Many Of the troops came from Chi
nd 1avS p
centage of them were factory hands
Of foreign extraction. Their behavior
proved that they assimilated tho true
spirit Of the American soldier.
Hit Near Engine Room.
Something had gone wrong with the
troop ships engines, which compelled
her for time to lag behind the con-
voy, but the trouble had been fixed
up and she was fast catching UP with
the other transports when torpedo
hit her just forward Of the engine
room.
The vessel at once began to sink by
the bow Many Of the soldiers at the
time were taking baths. They did
not wait to dress but made for the
deck with what little clothing they
could hastily lay their hands on. The
water was rushing in at such a rate
that it was thought the steamer
would quickly founder.
To the surprise Of most OF the SOL
liers the troop ship did not sink.
Some means appa0ptly was found to
check the inrush of water and she got
near enough to shore to be beached.
1t is hoped the vessel ultimately can
be saved
Third Ship Seriously Attacked.
The troop ship torpedocd by Ger
man submarine and beached on the
English coast last Friday Is the third
vessel carrying American soldiers to
the war zone TO be attacked with any
degree of success by U-boats. The
two others were the Anchor line
steamer Tuscaaia and the Peninsular
and Oriental liner Moldavia.
The Tuscania was torpedoed and
sunk off the Irish coast early in Feb
ruary Of the present year while car
rying troops composed chiefly Of de-
tachments of Michigan and Wisconsin
national guardsmen to England. or
the 1912 officers and men aboard 2O4
,perished The vessel was under con-
Ivoy when attacked.
The Moldavia was torpedoed and
sunk May 2$. presumably while carry
ing American troops across the Eng
ltsat channel from England TO France
Fifty-flv Americans lost their lives.

ed monthly by the Army Y. NJ. c. A. in
it's work for the American troops at
NJ C. A. workers In France and Eng
bland and 1900 in American camps.
Because of the increasing need for

tenn in France. efforts are being made
to enroll at least 1000 more business
and professional men of high standing
who are willing to go to France for
