Heavy Ammunition Truck Trains For War Service Pass Through the City Two ammunition truck companies I reached the city yesterday and j 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 rear 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 VESSEL'S GUNS Captain Assumed American Submarine Was Enemy Pre paring to Attack Him By Associated Press Washington. July 25.—Mistaken evidently for the German submersi-. ble which has been operating oft the North Atlantic Coast, an American submarine of the latest type was tired 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 Department's 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 tained in this statement by the Navy Department: "The Navy Department is in formed that a United States subma rine was fired upon by mistake by an armed merchant vessel on July 23 off the American coast. One shell 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 I damaged. No one aboard was in- { jured and the submarine proceeded to her base under her own power." Had the shell exploded after en tering the outer hull, it 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 cuter hull plates can be replaced. First Incident in U. S. Waters r This was the first incident of it* kind to occur in American waters, | so far as has been anounced, but it ! is not the first since the United States entered the war. Last Octo ! ber the American gunboat Nashville, 1 while on patrol duty in the Mediter tanean. fired on an Italian subma rine which failed to promptly an swer signals for identification. One man aboard the submarine was killed but the reached port. Lieutenant Commander Ernest Friedrick. commanding the Nash ville, was ordered reduced thirty numbers in grade by the Naval Court which tried him and the sen tence was approved by Secretary i 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 mended for his zeal. C-uptaln Thinks Sub Kneiny 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 r.iarihe came to the surface, the cap tain of the allied ship assumed that it was an enemy vessel preparing to attack him. Only one shot hit the submarine, which quickly made known its iden tity when the allied ship began to fire. The shell struck on the deck near the conning tower, denting several plates. It was announced that the vessel could be repaired' in a short time. 50 Per Cent.

MANPOWER OF HUN MACHINE IS ON DOWN GRADE Crown Prince Uses Most of His Reserves to Stave Off Disaster By Associated Press London. July 25.—0n the western front of the Soissons-Rheims salient the allied forces have advanced to an average depth of three miles on a twelve mile front during the past two days. The reports show that the Ger man high command has thus far en gaged sixty-four divisions in the battle, representative o£ groups of the German armies in Flanders to Alsace. Those sixty-four divisions are nearly a third of the available German army. The conclusion is drawn that the enemy is being hard put to it for re serves, although Crown Prince Rup precht of Bavaria, on the northern front, still has plenty of reserve divi sions. In authoritative circles here the view is expressed that Germany has reached what might be called the downward curve in her manpower. This applies to Prince Rupprecht's army as well as to the rest of the German army, and it explains whv Prince Rupprecht is not inclined to take the offensive. This drop in German manpower is not a sudden occurrence. It has been known to the allied military authori ties for some time. The infantry units have been weakened by the withdrawal of storm troops and by heavy losses.
