Heavy Ammunition Truck
Trains For War Service
Pass Through the City

Two ammunition truck companies
reached the city yesterday and
camped over night at Twenty-first
and Greenwood streets. Heavy rains
last evening completely flooded the
camp compelling the men to move
many of the trucks through the
deep mud late at night so that they
could start again this morning. To
add to the difficulty in moving the
trucks street lights were out and
only lanterns were available. Some
of the machines were stuck in the
mud so deep that scores of the men
had to help push them out.
Many of the men were drenched
and the steady rain soaked through
their tents and flooded the ground.
Members of the Royal Fire Company
provided quarters for many of the
boys. while others were taken to a
lodge hall near the camp and the
remaining ones slept in the trucks.
This morning two more companies
of the same train passed through the
city. There were thirty trucks in
this unit and thirty-two with the
companies which camped here dur
ing the night

YANKEE U-BOAT
HIT BY ALLIED
VESSELS GUNS
Captain Assumed American
Submarine Was Enemy Pre-
pairing to Attack Him

Washington. July 25.-Mistaken
evidently for the German submersi-,
BILE which has been operating off the
North Atlantic Coast, an American
submarine of the latest type was
fired upon and slightly damaged by
an armed vessel in New England
waters last Tuesday. No one aboard
the. submarine was injured and the
craft has reached port safely.
The Navy Departments announce
ment to-day did not reveal the
name or nationality of the armed
vessel, but it was understood that
it was an allied transport. Unoffi-
cial reports were that the submarine
had been running submerged and
came to the surface near the armed
ship. The latter opened fire and had
scored one hit before the American
craft made known its identity. The
shell penetrated the outer hull of
the submersible, but did not explode.
Navy Gives Details
The only official details were con-
tanned in this statement by the Navy
Department:
The Navy Department is in
formed that a United States suoma-
rine was fired upon by mistake by
an armed merchant vessel on July
=
penetrated the outer hull of the sub
marine. but did not explode. No
material injury was done, only a
small section of shell plating being
damaged. No one aboard was in
iured and the submarine proceeded
to her base under her own power.
Had the shell exploded after en-
tering the outer hull. 1t was said,
the submarine probably would have
been destroyed. AS it was, the inner
hull evidently was not damaged and
the submarine will be ready for
service again as soon as the damaged
outer hull plates can be replaced.
First Incident in L. 5. Waters
This was the first incident of iN
kind to occur in American waters,
so far as has been announced, but il
is not the first since the United
States entered the war. Last Octo-
Der the American gunboat Nashville,
while on patrol duty in the Mediter-
Ianean, fired on an Italian subma-
rine which failed to promptly an
swer signals for identification. One
man aboard the submarine was
killed but the bessel reached port.
Lieutenant Commander Ernest
Friedrich. commanding the Nash
Vile. was ordered reduced thirty
in grade by the Naval
Court which tried him and the SEN
tence was approved by Secretary
Daniels, despite the fact that the
Italian government officially inter-
ceded in behalf of the officer and
the court recommended clemency
and also that the officer be COM
lnended for his zeal.
Captain Thinks Sub Enemy
The scene of the attack was not
far distant from the waters in which
A German submarine recently ap-
peared and when the American sub
marine came to the surface, the cap
tain of the allied ship assumed that

tity when the allied ship began to
