London, Sept. 11. The White Star
liner Persic with 2.800 American sol
diert on board has been torpedoed.
All hand$ were saved. The troop
shin w beached.
In order to ave time instead of
launching trie boat the men clamber
ed down ropes to destroyers which
swaimed around the stricken vessel
and came close alongside.
This operation was greatly facilitat
ed by the fact that the sea was not
rout;h.
The troop ahip was a member of a
large convov approaching the Eng
lish coast The vessel was torpedoed
.200 miles from shore at 3 o'clock on
Friday afternoon.
All Are Saved.

SUB IS DESTROYED. x
By Associated Press.
An Inland Rest Camp in Eng
land, Sept 10.The majority of
5,800, American soldiers from the
troop ship which was torpedoed
last Friday off the English coast,
but was not sunk and upon which
there were no casualties, have ar
rived here none the worse for their
thrilling experience.
The men are finding some con
solation lor the loss of their ves
sel in the assurance that the sub
marine that attacked them suffered
a far worse fate at the hands of the
avenging destroyers, which were
speedily on the scene hunting the
U-boat with depth charges.
Several soldiers told the As
sociated Press that they saw the
German submarine lifted clear out
of the water after one of the depth
bombs exploded and .hen entirely
disappear. "
Somehting had gone wrong with
the troop ship's engines, which
compelled her for a time to lag be
hind the rest of the convoy, but
the trouble had been fixed up- and
she was fast catching up with the
oiner transports wnen a iropeao
hit her just forward of the engine
room.

boat destroyer! was quickly made
without injury to anyone.
They all escaped injury when the
torpedo exploded and they were toon
on their way to a British port
There was no sign of panic on
board and the admirable behavior of
the men was especially gratifying to
the officers. Many of the troops
ram from Chieaim and Cleveland
ahd a large precentage of them were
factory hands of foreign extraction
Their behavior proved that they had
assimilated the true spirit of the
American soldier.
The vessel at once began to sink by
the bow Many of the soldiers at the
time were taking baths. They did not
wait to dress, but made for the deck
with what little clothing they could !
hastily lay their hands on. The water J
was rushing in at such a rate that it
was thought the steamer would ;
quickly founder.

passenger steamship Missanabie, 12,
469 tons gross register, in the serv
ice of the British admiralty, as a

AMERICANS GAIN
GROUND SLOWLY
ON AISNE FRONT
Advances Made by Infantry
When Machine Gunners
Are Driven to Cover by ,
Artillery Fire.
With the American Army on the
Aisne Front. Sept. 11. The Ameri
can artillerists poured shells into the
hills northeast of Glennes and Revil
lon in such quantities yesterday that
the German machine gunners were
compelled to take cover. During
such intervals the American infantry
men made slight advances at several
places.
ihe chief point of contention for
the Americans continues to be La
Petite Montagne, where the Germans
not only are entrenched but have dug
in from the trench bottoms as ad
ditional protection against the heavy
guns of the French and Americans.
Despite a downpour of rain Monday
night and part of Tuesday, the bat
teries kept the Germans guessing and
also drove out some snipers and an
nihilated a few machine gun nests.
The American infantrymen are mov
ing forward along the ravines which
slope to the north. The Germans
used considerable gas during the early
hours of Tuesday, but, like the larger
shells, many struck in pools of water
and failed to explode.
Between Vieil Arcy and Villers-en-Prayeres,
the Americans command
the lowlands to the Aisne. The Ger
man machine gunners along the hills
to the notheast are being subjected
to artillery fire unmercifully day and
night.

(Continued From Pace) One)
ance of diplomatic relations with the
soviet power. There is little wonder
that Ambassador Ilelfferich had such
an impression. Two attempts were
made on his life while he was in Mos
cow. (This Is the first news to come out
of Russia of an attempt being made
against the life of the new German
ambassador at Moscow. His prede
cessor, Count von Mirbach, was as
sassinated.) Shots were heard everywhere day
and night and motor lorries filled
with armed soldiers dashed madly
through the streets with utter disre
gard for the life of civilians. The
actual fighting which took place In
the streets of Moscow July 7, when
the city was under artillery fire for
several hours, was far less terrify
inar to the oublic than were the end
less days of sheer brutality when the
soldiers imposed on the helpless
public by virtue of their arms.
Old and Helpless Arrested.
Men who have refused to fight the
Czecho-Slovaks on the Volga have
been arrested. Even the helpless
,and paralytic and women, more than
80 years old, have been taken into
custody.
Such is the wild campaign carried
on by the bolsheviki under the guise
of suppressing a counter revolution.
Moses Uritsky, who mercilessly di
rected activity of this sort in Petro
grad, paid for it with his life, but
Dzerzhinsky still continues his frantic
persecution of civilians in Moscow.
Former army officers are the great
est sufferers at the hands of this
wild search for counter revolution
aries, but it extends to all sections
of the bourgoisie,.
Not content with seizing the prop
erty of the educated classes, the bol
sheviki are now harassing them in
every possible way. Desperate class
war Is encouraged by exhortations
daily in the bolshevik newspapers to
continue attacks upon the bourgoisie
and even to take .their lives.
Pograms Feared.
But bad as conditions are now in
Moscow and in ' Petrograd, a worse
situation is expected by the intelligent
classes if an interregnum fails. The
spirit of vengeance is so strong and
the feeling so bitter against the Jew
ish leaders, arrivals here from Russia
say, that rioting against the Jews gen
erally is feared. Such riots never are
confined to one class in Russia, but

expand into general murder and plun
der." The aooartnt abandonment of Eu
ropean Russia by the Germans has
led to the belief that their experience
in the Ukraine has caused them to
cease In their efforts to establish a
monarchy or to support any other
new government friendly to them.
The Russians are helplessly plead
ing for outside assistance to cure them
of their political troubles.' The con
stitutional democrats and other bour
geoisie friendly to the Germans are
now turning to the entente allies
since the defeat of the Germans on
the western front and the success of
the Czecho-Slovaks, Murman and
Vladivostok movements.
The constitutional democratic party
and the other parties of the extreme
right, however, are in such disfavor
with the "reat mass Russians of
the center that foreign diplomats are
not willing to take them seriously.
The Czecho-blovak movement be
yond the river Volga has gained the
support of factions favoring a con
stituent assembly and it is making the
more reactionary programs impossi
ble, as Siberia generally is conceded
to be the key to reconstruction in
European Russia.
Somewhere among the social revo-'
lutionaries, probably among those of
the right, a leader is expected to de
velop who may eventually crystal
ize the opposition to the bolsheviki.
M. Tcnernoff. former minister of
agriculture and chairman of the sus
pended constituent assemblv, and Gen
Boris Savinkoff, former military com
mander of Petrograd and acting; min
ister of war in the Kerensky cabinet,
are the most conspicuous social revo
lutionaries at present. Their where
abouts is unknown but General Sav
inkoff is reported to be in Siberia.

New York, Sept. 11. The bureau
