one of the chief topics among the Allied
troops.

in this city, said he was one of the
most efficient soldiers who ever went
into No Mans Land.

came back with Fritz and plenty of
valuable information. He was awarded
special rowing commission.

Sometimes this chap would be gone
thirty-six hours. Helmets did net ap-
peal to Dick. His headgear was a
Bacalvia cap. He never carried a rife,
but had great confidence in his pistol
and hand grenades. He carried the
bombs in his pocket and they caused no
end of trouble in the lair of the boche.
Sergeant Travis was honored with
the French War Cross and was recon-
mended for the Victoria Cross. He was
killed by German shell on July 25

There were no lives Of American SOL

American troops on board was torpedoed
by a German submarine.
This statement was officially made
this afternoon.
No official statement Of the attack

that British troopship. carrying
American soldiers has been torpedoed
and that all Of the soldiers were saved"

ing in splendid shape.
1t Is expected that a complete report
will be forthcoming from Admiral Sims,
commanding the American naval forces
in foreign waters, in the immediate
future.
Because the vessel sunk was British,
and therefore under the direct control
of the British Admiralty, announcement
of the attack was made public first
