add to cart   close window

The article presents several developments related to international affairs. American troops successfully passed through the ordeal of battle in the first offensive operation in which the forces of this country have been engaged since our entry into the first world war. Germany carried her submarine offensive directly to the U.S. by sinking eleven vessels off the North Atlantic Coast during the first three days of June. Apparently one submarine began operations as early as May 25, 1918 when two schooners were sunk off the Delaware Capes and their crews taken aboard the submarine, where they were kept as prisoners for eight days.
