\ About ten minutes after, Mac finish
ed his letter this morning they sighted
four submarines and-talk about your
excited soldiers. The big guns on one
of the boats started firing and then
the small chasers got into action and
took after one of the submarines that
was in the rear They first dropped
one of the depth bombs on her injur-
ing it and then started pumping lead
into it until it sank. The other ones
disappeared and were seen no more.
Soon after the land was sighted,
aeroplanes and coast patrol boats
were thick as we pulled into the har-
bor. We are now anchored just with
in sight of land and Just at this mo-
ment they started to pull up the an

port tonight, then unload tomorrow.

I know you are wondcring-just how
one feels when in this territory, and
I wish you could see our bunch now
as we Go not worry at all as we surely
are well protected. Our ship has
lots Of big and little guns on it and if
you could have seen the fleet have
target practice all your fears would
have fled.
We get only two meals day, but
plenty only it is kind of long be-
tween meals. Yesterday being Xmas
we had cream Of tomato soup, mash
ed potatoes, turnips, pickles, fruit sal
ad. bread and butter fricassecd fowl,
coffee and cake, so you see we surely
did fill up.
Had heard a lot about sea sickness
but never realized just what it was
like until we got it. Our quarters are
in the fore part Of the ship and near
the bow or front end. and the fourth
day out it got pretty rough and-talk
about Sick The floor would come up
about ten feet and then drop about
fifteen--and everybody would feel it
and then they would vomit I only
threw up once and "Dutch' not at all.
In fact he was not even sick and you
should see him eat Was surprised
that I stood it as well as I did, as You
know how sick | always get, but | was
never very sick. Some Of the fellows
did not eat for four days and every
time they would walk around they
would get sick. DO not mind it at all
now. The sea is little rough this
morning, as the spray, when the bow
hits the waves, is coming over the
deck.
Know all about the ship now as |
have been from stern to bow and
down in the engine room.
A coincidence, that very seldom
happens, happened on this trip. Heine
Dohn has a brother in the navy
MARY knows him-Bob) and we are
on his ship. He spends most of his
time down here as it has been long
time since he has seen Heine. You
can imagine how Dutch" and I would
feel under the same circumstances.

American troops stormed German
trenches and machine gun nests in

sector. Those of the German garrison
who remained to fight and carry out
their orders to hold the positions at

chine gun fire and bayonet.
The Americans also took prisoners.
The American artillery put down a
heavy box barrage on the rear OF the
enemy positions. A few minutes later
the infantry swarmed over the top and
rushed the trenches. Some of the Ger
mans had tried to escape through the
barrage, crashing to the rear, but few
Of them got through, for numerous
German dead were found later.
Prisoners captured declared that
they had orders to hold on at all costs,
and this was apparent by the despar.
ate manner in which they fought. The
battle was short, but deadly, for the
enemy positions were swept clean of
Germans. The official report says
that a great many Germans were
killed,

With the French Army in France
Large units Of German shock troops,
which had been concentrated on the
western side of Rheims, between
Vrigny and Ormes, and which went

IN awful fire from the French de.
tense that they were unable to make

such losses after trying time after

hat only a few Of the attackers were
lble to return to their own lines.
When the Germans launched their
attack in full force IN Rheims their
Intention was to deal a heavy counter
blow to compensate for their failure to
capture Compiegne. Forty thousand
troops participated in the assault
along the front, extending ron Vrigny
plateau to Sillery, with orders to
carry the city at all costs They me-
with dismal defeat.
At every point they were repulsed
with heavy losses, In a most gallant
manner the French troops prevented

success. The artillery preparation
lasted for several hours and was one
Of the most terrific yet carried out

Between M%ontdidier and Noyon. :

With the American Forces on the

attempted to approach the American
lines in the Marine sector were smashed
by the accuracy of the American ma
chine gun fire. One German patrol
was almost wiped out.
Two German prisoners, who, after
escaping from a detention camp 100
miles to the rear Of the American front,
six days ago, wandered through the
woods and bushes, and swan rivers in
the night time, were captured in the
American lines. The prisoners said
they had Travelled with comparative
ease until they approached American
territory, where it became so hot that
they could not cross to the German
lines.

The battle on the Piave river broke

Fresh efforts of the invaders to cross

An intense struggle also took place

The British, after ~reconQuering the

AMERICAN HOSPITAL SACKED
Turks Also Invade American and
British Consulates Over Protest
Of Spanish Consul.

Washington. - Attack by Turkish
troops on the American consulate at
Tabriz, Persia, and the looting Of the
American missionary hospital in that
city, reported to the State Depart.
ment, was believed in some quarters
here to presage the long anticipated
declaration of the existence of a state
of war between the United States and
the Ottoman empire.
Diplomatic relations between the
two governments have been suspend
ed since April 20, 1917, when Turkey
withdrew Abdul Hak Hassein Bey, who
had been acting as charge of the
Turkish embassy here since the com
pulsory retirement of the regular am
bassador, which followed his open
criticism of the United States govern
ment. Necessarily American Ambas-
sador Morgenthau was obliged to leave
Constantnople and since that time the
relations between the two govern
ments have been just short of actual
formal enmity.
