FIVE SUBMARINES by

Passengers He turning J"rbm Europe Tell of Work of British and American Navy.

IAN ATLANTIC PORT, July 5—Desuniction, in Kuropean waters, of five perm an submarines by British transports and by American and British destroyers convoying them were disclosed by passengers who arrived here today on an English liner. The transports, one of which wa« carrying 7,000 American soldiers to Europe, accounted for three of the U-boats, and the destroyers sank the other two, according to the voyagers. Officers o£-,th& liner confirmed their stories.

The passengers witnessed the torRedoing of the 5.436-ton British freighter Orissa, which was part of their convoy, when the fleet was approximately a day out, steaming west from the British Isles. The Orissa, bound in ballast for the United States, was sent to the bottom by an nnseen submarine. A moment later, however,' an American destroyer In the protecting fleet detected the undersea boat below the surface and dropped a depth bomb, making a direct hit, according to the story related here. The same evening a U-boat was sighted by the passenger vessel, whose gunners sank it by shell fire. The other three submarines were destroyed, according to the returned travelers on the eastward trip of another Convoy. They declared that a large British transport with eeven thousand American troops aboard rammed a submersible, which was revealed with two others in the sudden lifting of a heavy fog. Almost simultaneously with the disappearance of the first submarine beneath the transport's bow, the big ship's gunners accounted for another of the German craft while a British, destroyer disposed of the third.

Between the Olse and the Alsne, where the latest French blow gained considerable ground and more than 1,000 prisoners, the Germans have not attempted counter attacks. ll«re, also, the enemy artillery has been the only means'of retaliation for the ground and prisoners lost. The Germans have given up their counter attacks and heavy gun fire against the new American position west of Chateau Thierry, but are bombarding the village of St. Pierre Algle, south of the Aisne, gained by the French Tuesday.

The thrust south of the Somncte the allies recaptured the village of Hamel and the Hamel and Valre woods, south of the village. The woods are on nigh ground. The French gains at Autreches also takes elevations from the Germans. Along the Ancre, Australian troops progressed 500 yarfls oo a front of 120& yards*"* a s

Take Many Valuable Pointa. Through the successful and successive thrusts in the past ten days or more the allies on the western front have taken from the Germans positions which would have been very userul in future offensive operations. Whether the policy of nibbling Is holding back a renewal of heavy enemy attacks is not "known, but there can be no doubt that by pushing the Germans out of locally important positions here and there between Ypres and Rheims, Gen. Foch is giving the German comnmnd something to consider seriously to the effect on German morale. The number of prisoners taken in the past week is nearly 6,000.

Almost without exception, Berlin has declared officially that the allied attacks were repulsed. It claims that the French thrust north of the Aisne was broken up In the front line, while it describes the thrust on the Somme as "patrol attacks." /which were frustrated.

On the Italian front Gen. Dia» has been equally successful with his local attacks and his captures of prisoners since last Saturday is now well over 4,80i. The Italians continue their operations near the mouth of the Plave and rapidly are driving the Austrlans back to the line of the old river bed.

American independence day on the American sectors passed off with only normal activity. If there were any anticipations that the Germans might seize upon the Fourth of July as a day upon which to strike a blow against the Americans, they did not materialize.
