Late Report Comes of Sinking of Transport.

A report has reached us that on August 15th a British transport carrying 2,000 Canadian troops was sunk by a German submarine off the coast of the Stilly Islands. It is stated that about 1,000 of the soldiers were lost. If the report which comes from Berlin is true, the British have kept it suppressed.
