 London, Thursday, June 6.-Ged man submarines were foiled in theI attempts against a convey which iiI cluded ships carrying America troops and American Red CroI workers, according to Rev. Fath@ Joseph Wareing of Baltimore, one { the Red Cross party and who arrivd| in London yesterday. The protectir| destroyers got into action quickly q two occasions last Sunday, but Re| Wareing did not know whether a1| submarines had been sunk.
 To the Associated Press, Rev. Fat1 CT Wareing, who had a trying expelI ence following the torpedoing of u British steamer Laconia in Februar4 1917, said:
 "Soon after we reached the dang zone our convoy was attacked German submarines and for i'd minus I thought I was in for anoth experience of the same kind as I h on the Laconia. The exact number the enemy U-boats was not dete. mined but at least two were seen.

 Two hours later on the same while I was preparing for dinner other alarm was sounded and aln simultaneously the destroyers be dropping depth charges. One Ian within about 500 yards of our and gave it a good shaking.

 "When the first alarm was soun I have to admit I felt a certain vousness for the alarm bell brou back to my mind with great vividl my Laconia experience when I fered considerably from exposure. I hurried on deck l think aln every detail of those awful hd which followed the Laconia sinl came back to my mind like mo7 picture and it was several minutes fore I got complete command of self
