"For the purpose? of convenience the expedition was divided into contingents, each contingent including troop-ships and a naal escort designed to keep off such German raiders as might be met. v Rendezvous Arranged. "An ocean rendezvous had also been arranged with the American destroyers now operating in European waters in order that the passage of the danger zone might be attended by every possible protection. "The first attack took place at 10:30 on the night of June 22. What gives it peculiar and disturbing significance is that our ships were set upon at a point well this side of the rendezvous and in that part of. the Atlantic presumably free from submarines. "The attack was made in force, although the night made impossible any exact count of the U-boats gathered for what they deemed a slaughter. "The high seas convoy, circling with their searchlights, answered with heavy gunfire, and its accuracy stands proved by the fact that the torpedo discharge became increasingly scattered and Inaccurate. It is not known how many torpedoes were launched, but five were counted as they sped past bow and stern.

In one instance, oil and wreckage -covered the surface of the sea after a shot from a destroyer at a periscope, and the reports make claim of sinking. "Protected by our high seas convoy, by our destroyers and by French war vessels, the contingent proceeded and joined the others in a French port. "The whole nation will rejoice that so great a peril Is passed for the vanguard of the men who will fight our battles in France. No more thrilling Fourth of July celebration could have been arranged than this glad news that lifts the shadow of dread from the hearts of America." Secretary Baker wrote the following letter to Secretary Daniels conveying the army's thanks to the navy: "Word has just ' Come to the War Department that the last ships conveying General Pershing's extraordinary force to France arrived safely today. As you know, the navy assumed the responsibility for the safety of these ships on the sea and through the danger zone. - The ships themselves and their convoys were in the hands of the navy, and now that they have arrived and carried, without the loss of a man, our soldiers, who are

the first to represent America in the battle for democracy, I beg leave to tender to you, to the Admiral and to the navy the hearty thanks of the War Department and of the army. This splendid achievement is an auspicious beginning, and it has been character ized throughout by the most cordial f and effective co-operation between the two military services.". In Slow Boat.

And then there is another thing a vicious thing that an immediate investigation is to be ordered to delve into. It is the question of spies In the ery heart of the naval service, for , otherwise German submarines would not have been able to know that the American troops were coming. and most certainly would not have known the course they were taking on the high seas so as to-be able to lie in a . blue .water, ambush for them far outside the boundaries of . the ordinary danger cone.
