couple of days here visiting with
friends and explaining military train

trench outfit, which was issued to
the University of Idaho, and was on

office.
These trench articles were of I'M
usual interest, and it was rare op-
portunity for those who viewed them.
Besides showing the military at
tire, he gave some very interesting
talks, the purpose of which were to
encourage military training and to

VESSEL is BEACHED.
Steamer Torpedoed When Endeavor-
ing to overtake Convoy Fleet of
Transports After overconn-
ing Engine Trouble.

Neutrality-suspicious. of the torpedo
ing of the British liner Persic with
$500 American troops on board in the
war zone, September 6, was given to
the American people on September II,
first through the British admiralty and
then later through the navy depart
ment. All the soldiers were rescued
by accompanying destroyers, the
steamer itself was beached and the
enemy submarine Is believed to have
been accounted for.
The fact that the steamer was tor
pedoed when endeavoring to overtake
the conveyed fleet of transports after
overcoming engine trouble, indicated
that submarine commanders still are
fearful Of attacking troopships In con-
voy. And the immediate and success
full assistance rendered by the Destroy
ers was taken as additional evidence
that the conveying system now In
vogue is practically perfect
Attacks on troopships by submarines
constantly were expected by officials
and it may be that new and more de-
termined campaign has been deter
mined upon by the Germans because OF
the reverses suffered by their armies.
The greatest possible protection is at
forded troopships and this increases as
the American naval forces in the war
zone are added to by new construction
in American yards.
The record achieved by the Ameri-
can and allied nations by transporting
more than 100000 American soldiers
overseas with the loss of only POI Of
them still is considered miraculous.
And 1t is expected by naval officers
as testifying as to the success Of the
convoy system.
