AMERICAN LINER
 HIT BY SUBMARINE
ALL SOLDIERS WERE RESCUED BY ACCOMPANYING DE-
 STROYERS.

Washington. - News of the torpe- dolng of the British liner Persic, with 2,S00 American troops on board, in the war zone September 6, was given to the American people, first through the British admiralty and late: through the Navy Department All the soldiers were rescued by accom- panying destroyers, the steamer was beached and the enemy submarine is believed to have been sunk.
 Officials here consider the result of the attack more as an allied success than a disaster The fact that the steamer was torpedoed while she was endeavoring to overtake the convoy fleet of transports after overcoming engine trouble, which had forced her to lag, convinced officers that the sub marine commanders still are fearful of attacking troop ships in convoy. The immediate and completely sue cessful assistance rendered by the destroyers was taken as additional ev- idence that the conveying system is practically perfect.
 First word of the attack on the Pcrsic reached the Navy Department on the night of September 6, Tn a brief dispatch from Vice Admiral Sims. although navy officials have emphatically denied in the meantime that any important news of submarine activities was being withheld. It was said that the British admiralty cx- pressed the request that they be per mitted to announce the news of the attack.
 Attacks on troop ships by subma- rines constantly are expected by otIi- cials and it may be that a new and more determined campaign has been determined upon by the Germans be cause of the reverses of their armies. The greatest possible protection !s af forded troops ships and this increases as the American naval forces in the war zone are increased by new yes sels.
 The record achieved by the Ameri- can and allied nations by transporting more than 1.600.000 American soldiers overseas with the loss Of only 291 of them still is considered miraculous It is accepted by naval officials Is testifying to the success of the con voy system.

 North of La Bassee the Germans evidently are trying out the British strength. They have made three at tacks on the British posts, but each time they were repulsed with heavy losses.
 The continued downpour of cold fall rain has thoroughly drenched the battlefield, but notwithstanding this handicap slight line strengthening gains have again been made by the British in the face of increased enemy resistance, especially in the regio1 southwest of Cambrai.
 The line northeast and southeast of Hesbecourt east of Roisel, has been advanced by Australian troops in a driving storm, and posts have been established well to the eastward of the former front. In the same gen eIal locality the British forward movement continues.
 The Germans seem to have thrown in more machine gunners here, and as they came from fresh divisions they are holding out a little better than the troops they relieved, who had be- come so fatigued or disheartened that some of them during recent days sur rendered without firing a shot when they saw the British advancing.
