HOSPITAL SHIP
IS TORPEDOED;
ga MISSING
British Steamer Llandovery Cas-
tie Sunk by U-Boat.
ONLY "a SURVIVORS LANDED
Vessel Was Homeward Bound From
Canada and Carried Eight Medical

can Boat Lost.

London, July "a German subma-
rine sank the British hospital ship
Llandovery Castle, 116 miles south
west of Fastnet. June 81, the British
admiralty announced.
The Llandovery Castle was home
ward bound from Canada. 1t carried
25S persons. This total includes so
Canadian army medical corps men and
Ia woman nurses.
One boat containing "a survivors
has reached port.
1.-THE Llandovery Castle was 11,423
tons gross and,was built at Glasgow in
1914 for the Union Castle Mail Steam
ship service. The vessel was 500 feet
long 63 feet beam and 81 feet deep.1
Twenty-Four Out of 258 Landed.
The, admiralty announcement fol-
lows:
about 1890 O'Clock on June 81, 116
miles southwest of Fastnet, the hos
pital ship Llandovery Castle was tor
pedoed by an enemy submarine and
sank in about ten minutes. She was
homeward bound from Canada and
therefore there were no sick or wound
ed on board, but her crew consisted of
164 officers and men and she carried
so Canadian army medicals and Ia fe-
male nurses.
"Of this total of 25S only one boat
containing "a survivors has so far
reached port. Search is still being
made and there is a bare possibility
that others may vet be found.
ct is to be noted that in this, as in
deed in all instances, the German sub
marine had perfect right to stop and
search the hospital ship under The
Hague convention, but she preferred
to torpedo the Llandoyery Castle.
Set Adrift 11e Miles Out.
Subsequently the admiralty issued
the following comment on the sink
ing:
"Germany's awful debt to the world
continues to grow. Another hospital
ship has been torpedoed, this time 116
miles from the nearest land, and her
| people turned adrift in their boats, to
sink or swim as they best might. And
though, as it happened she was a
| Canadian hospital ship returning from
Halifax with no wounded on board,
| the tale of crime reveals wanton de-
| liberation on the part of the submarine
commander, and almost suggests the
hope on his part that he would find
her full of injured and helpless men,"
U. S. Steamer ~" Boat Victim.
New York, July 2.-The American
steamship George L. Eaton of zoos
tons gross has been sunk, presumably
by German submarine, in European
waters, according TO information re-
ceived in shipping circles here. She
left an American port for France
about two weeks ago.

resistance, and the contested positions
remained in our hands.
About midday and in the afternoon
the enemy launched two heavy attacks
against Monte di Val Bella, but the
enemy masses, moved down by our
artillery fire, were completely arrest
ed by our infantry and forced to re
tire.
Our airplanes daringly participated
in all phases of the fighting.
1.-THE losses suffered by the enemy
on Saturday and Sunday are ascer-
tanned to have been exceptionally
heavy. Eighty-fve officers and 1895
men were made prisoner. Our losses,
thanks to the decisiveness of the at
tack and excellent cooperation of the
artillery, We're very slight.
ION the remainder of the front the
fighting activity was normal. In the
Daone valley and in the region of
Gludicaria we Surprised small enemy
posts, securing few prisoners and
machine guns. In the Meugna region
an enemy attack was repulsed."
