GOOD WORK BY ALLIED FLEET TARIS, May 19. Admiral Wilson, commanding the American naval forces in French waters, states that as a result of the anti-sub-marine warfare carried on by the French and American navies, there were no torpedoings in February and April in the waters in which the American warships were operating, as compared with 34 in October, 1917. NEW YORK, May 19. The "New York Times" learns from oflicial sources that 12 submarines were sunk in British waters by British and American destroyers in April. . Two additional boats are known to have been sunk, one while attacking convoys going to Holland. The other rose up between two American transports carrying troops to France. A torpedo missed one of the transports by a few feet. The boat was destroyed by destroyers with depth bombs.— (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
