SUNK IN M|D-OCEAN
BY HUN SUBMARINE
RETURNING FROM EUROPE WITH
NO TROOPS ABOARD-SIXTEY-
SEVEN MEMBERS OF CREW ARE
MISSING.

WASHINGTON. D. c., June 26.-
Sinking of an allied transport under
United States charter on June 18th
about 700 miles east of the Delaware
capes. was reported last night by tn
navy department The transport had
no troops aboard and was WESTWARD
bound
Reports are that the submarine was
not seen until after a torpedo struck
the ship. The crew took to the boats
after the vessel settled and it was flu
tile to use guns. The u-boat appeared
on the surface and fired nineteen shots
into the ship.
Three boats with about sixty-seven
members of the crew are missing. The
crew of 148 got away from the vessel
in seven boats, four of which have been
landed. The total rescued so far is
given as eighty-one men. Two boat
loads arrived by steamer at New York,
one by steamer at Hampton Roads, and
one by sailing vessel at Bermuda.
Under an agreement with the Brit
ish admiralty, the navy department is
not permitted to announce the name of
the vessel sunk. Unofficial reports,
foweyer, are to the effect that she was
the Dwinsk, British steamer, former
ly under the Russian flag.
In view of the fact that the vessel
was attacked far outside the European
zone of submarine activities, some Of,
ficials here think she may have en-,
countered a submarine headed for
home after participating in the raid on
the American coast,

Seizure Act of Vioence-Takes
Issue With President.

The Hague, April 1.-The seizure of
the Dutch merchantmen in American
ports is characterized by the Dutch
government, in a statement in the Of
fetal Gazette, as an act of violence
which it will oppose with all the en-
ergy Of it's conviction and it's wounded
national feeling.
The government takes issue with
the proclamation of President Wilson
regarding the decision of the United
States, saying it contains assertions
which are contrary to the facts.
The statement says the Dutch ma
ton with painful surprise" has TAX
en- notice Of President Wilson's proc
lamation and that the seizure of neu-
trail mercantile fleet is unjustifiable.
