Somewhere in the Atlantic, the speedy gray transports were to join with Gleaves’ grim destroyers. All went well until the night of June 22—just before the rendezvous was reached While the rays of the con searchlights flashed, Ame gunners fired at the foe, whose tor- pedoes even then were sizzling past bow and stern. At least five were fired from various directions, prov- ing there were that many U-boats I about. Gunfire from the convoy scat tered the divers, whose fire de creased and erred. Second Attack Fails That attack was upon one sec- tion of the transports, and occur. red at a point this side of the map Ped submarine zone. A few days later another contingent encoun tered a second nest of U-boats. The destroyers battled viciously, using an explosive timed to explode be neath the surface. One submarine succumbed, as wreckage and oil testify; others probably perished, too. The de- Stroyers and transports were un seathed. From then on they were convoyed safely and unmolested, with the added aid of French de stroyers, into their French port The spy angle in this instance ts the most serious yet encountered, as there was apparent proof that the Germans had advance informa | tion of the going of the American patrol to Europe. But as officials see tt today, the really dangerous part of the situa tion must have come before publf cation, inasmuch as the submarines lurked on a path they had not theretofore used, and were in such force as to show they had prepared well in advance. Two possible avenues of commu Nication are open—first, secret wireless messages; second, embas sies which may be friendly to Ger. many, who have access to cables and use of code. Mexico has a powerful wireless fn Yucatan. This bas been known for some time, tho officials have al. ways said this was not,Germany's wireless base.
