day Morning, According to
British Admiralty Report,
HUN U-B0ATS AT WORK
OFF THE IRISH COAST
American AviatorS Are Aiding
in Defense Of Parisi Large
Teuton Army Continues In
vasion of Russia,


The British mercantile cruiser Mol
davia, carrying American troops from
America to Europe, has been torpe-
doed and fifty-six American soldiers
are reported missing. The liner was
sunk Thursday morning, according to
an official statement by the British
admiralty.
The Moldavia is the third transport
carrying American troops to be tor.
pedoed and the fifteenth troop ship
sunk by the Germans. OF the vessels
carrying ammunition, the. Antilles was
the first to meet with destruction by
U-boat She was sunk October II
last when returning to this country
from Europe and seventy lives were
lost. The second was the Tuscania,
which was sent to the bottom off the
north of Ireland February 5, with
loss of life totalling 101.
The only other serious attack made
on American transports occurred last
June when vessels carrying some OF
the expeditionary units, under con-
voy commanded by Rear Admiral
Gleavnes narrowly escaped disaster in
the mid-Atlantic.
That German submarines are oper-
ating off the south coast of Ireland
is evidenced by the sinking of the
steamer Inniscarra of Cork with loss
of l-fe.
Sub Not Vital Menace.
i David Lloyd George. speaking at
Edinburgh, has said that the subma-
rine is still unconquered, but that it
is no longer a vital menace to the
entente allies.
He said that the Uboats are being
DESTROYED faster than they can be
built by Germany, while the allies are
building ships faster than the sub
marines are sinking them.
In the battle zones in France there
have been numerous local engage
ments, particularly in the Somme sec
tor. The Germans. under cover of
Il heavy artillery barrage, made /. raid
on the British lines at Bucquoy, on
captured prisoners.
In the KENNEL region, on both sides
of the Lys river. in the Flanders bat
tie field, there has been heavy artil-
lery fighting, while on the Scarpe river
in the region of Arras and south OF
the Somme, between Moriuel anc
Montidider, the big guns have sbeen
in action according to the official
statements.
Aerial Activity Continues.
The remarkable aerial activity
along the western battle front con-
tinues, with both sides participating
in air fighting and bombing opera
tions. If the Germans repeat their
lattempts to lombard Paris from the
air Americans will feel keen i'll

can aviators now are aiding, in the
defense of the French capital.
