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.

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.
