ARMY TRANSPORT SUNK
Probably Seventy lives Lost From
Siil>mnriiie Attack.
Washington, Oct. 11). ? The American
ariny transi>ort Antilles, homeward
hound under convoy, was torpedoed
ami sunk by a German submarine in
M.e war zone Wednesday. About 70
men arc missing and probably lost.
All the army and navy officer*) aboard
and the ship's master wore among the
1(17 survivors. The missing are mem
ber* of U)c crew, three civilian Engi
neers. some enliwted men of the navy*
and 1(1 of soldiers returning home
for various reasons. Neither the sub
marine nor the tori>edo was seen and
the transport. hit squarely amidships,
sank in five minuter
This tragedy of the sea, the first ^n
which an American ship engaged In
war duty has been lost, is the fiifst
of its magnitude to -bring home to
the people of the United States the
rigors of the war in which they h,ave
engaged against Germany. It c'alrries
the largest casualty list of the war, so
far, of American lives, and marks the
first success of German submarine at
tacks on American transports.
That the loss of life was not great
er is due to the safeguards with which
I lie navy has surrounded the transport
*erviee. and tlu? quick rescue wojrtv of
the convoying warships.
Secretary Manlels iinnouuced the dls
nsfei" tonight in a 'statement based
U|m>h a brief dispatch from Vk?
lulrul Sims which gave few Oei
Hiul (ltd not say whether It ^
day or night attack. An accurate
of <thc missing cannot he issaed n
General Pershing reports the u
of -the aruiy men on the vessel
