Submarine Attacks Escalate as Atlantic Coast News Spreads
Telegraph reports from June describe multiple submarine torpedoings off New Jersey and Delaware, with ships sunk or damaged including the steamer Carolina and the schooner Edward R. Baird. Survivors claim two submarines and 10 minutes to launch lifeboats. Navy reports indicate 12 to 14 vessels sunk and 20 000 tons lost with no transports sunk. American troops also begin counterattacks in France near the Marne and Aisne as Paris sees refugee arrivals and ongoing Franco American actions.
