Answer:

The Germans believed that American merchant ships, by delivering supplies, were contributing in a real way to the success of their enemy, Great Britain. ... The first such attack, in January 1915, was of the ship William P. Frey, which was carrying wheat to Britain. Germany sank several more U.S. merchant ships that year.
