BRAVERY HIGHLY PRAISED
American Soldiers Lined Up On
Deck of Tuscania and Sang
National Anthem as
Ship Settled.
London, Feb. 0.—Revised figures in
dicate that the loss of life on the Tus
cania probably was considerably in ex
cess of yesterday's estimates of 101.
It is now believed complete returns will
show the number of dead to bo nearer
200 than 100.
Reports received at the American
embassy yesterday indicated the loss of
101 lives, while the British admiralty’s
estimate was 210. This discrepancy now
appears to have been due to the fact
that the figures supplied to the em
bassy evidently did not include the
missing, of which there are still many.
It was announced today that arrange
ments were being maue by British and
American officials jointly for great mil
itaiy funerals for the ’> uscania's dead.
An Irish Port, Beb. 9—As the list of;
Americans on board the Tuscania was j
lost when the vessel went down, it
will be impossible to ascertain the
^ names of those who lost their lives un
til the names of the survivors .lave
been cabled to the United abates.
Washington, Feb. S.- Ti c navy de
partment today announced that latest
reports of the survivors of the Tus
eania show 70 officers and 1.274 en
listed men of the army have been land
ed at Buncrana, Ireland: that 16 offi
cers and seamen ot' the crew have been
landed at Larne, Ireland, and that ap
proximately 570 officers and enlisted
men of the army have been landed at
Islay. Scotland.
Mr addition," the department an
nouncement continues, "appi oximately
99 soldier? and members of the crow i
are reported to be in hospitals. Six I
members of the crew and 72 soldiers I

War department officials are unable
to account, for the statement made in
news dispatches that Ida i« identifica
tion tags were found on the bodies of
4 ! American soldiers washed ashore.
liven if the men had not been definit
ely assigned to an organisation the
army regulations require that the tag
bear on one side the full name of the
wearer. When the soldier is assigned to
ill number of hit. regiment *h« desig
nation of hir; company and his indi
vidual number in shut company are
supposed to be added immediately to
the other side of the tag.
The organisation commander is held
responsible by military regulations for
the completion of those tags, the pur
pose of which is to prevent just such a
situation as is' described in the dis
patches from abroad.
When the Tuscania was struck by
the Herman torpedo the American sol
diers went calmly to their positions. As
they lined up on one side of the deck,
with the crew, all Britishers, on the
other, the national anthems of tIVe
Anglo-American allies were sung. The
lack of panic facilitated the work of
the British destroyers, who braved
danger by coming up to the side of ihc
sinking liner and tab’us off the sul
diers. The Tuscania remained afloat |
two hours.
Iteports of some survivors that, the i
submarine fell n victim to the swift !
vr usance of the British destroyers lack i
official confirmation. One American 1
officer has related that the hi-boat at- 1
tempted to sink the rescuing di ntroyetx
and that one pursued the submarine
and dropped depth bombs, silencing u
probably for all time.

persons have been landed and arc be

No official story ol the sinking has

PRIORITY ORDER ON

Washington, D. <’.. Feb. 9.—Priority

Dakota and Nebraska, was ordered this
afternoon by Director General McAdoo.
the submarine emerged after torpedoing
the steamer. Several of the ship's of
ficers said they saw the periscope and
conning tower once.
A tiny trawler, which remained with
the Tuseania to the last, saw a small
fire break out amidships as the vessel's
back appeared to break in two. With
a hissing sound, she disappeared be
neath the waves.
Most of the crew who lost their lives
were killed in the explosion in the boil
er room. One of the survivors of the
engine force said the second engineer
checked the speed of tne Vessel after
the impast by throwing the engine lev
ers over to “full.”
This probably saved many lives, as
otherwise the vessel would have plowed
on, smashing boat divits, as happened
in the case of the Lusitania. One of the
remarkable escapes was that of a fire
man who had walked to the upper deck
to got a drink of water. He never saw
his fellow fireman again.
U-BOAT ATTACKED WARSHIPS.
London, Feb. 9.—That a. German sub
marine endeavored to attack the de
stroyers while the latter were engaged
in rescue work is the statement made
by an American officer at an Irish port
where a large number of men were
landed. The officer said to a corres
pondent of the Associated Press:
‘ The thing that somehow impressed
me most in the whole experience was
the promptitude and precision with
which the British naval men handled
their craft under the trying conditions
of rescue work. This work had only
just begun when there came the most
exciting moments of the night.
“A U-boat from the curtain of black
ness, behind whicn she was skulking,
thought to finish the work by an attack
on tbe destroyers. Three torpedoes
were discharged in a few minutes at
three destroyers and it was only due
to the watchfulness of the lookouts and
the splendid seamanship of the British
naval men that they failed to reach
their targets.
“This onslaught, however, revealed
the approximate location of the enemy
and a pair of destroyers at once at
tacked with guns and bombs so effec
tively that even if the U-boat was not
sunk it was afraid to show itself
again."

SHOWED PINE DISCIPLINE.
London Feb. 9.—How American sol
diers behaved when they found that
the boats assigned to them on the Tus
cania had been smashed, is told fly an
American officer who landed at an Irish
port The officer said that his men be
haved as he ltad expected them to. Two
full boatloads under his command as
sembled on the deck when the torpedo
struck the liner and marched to the
boats assigned them. Arriving at their
station they found that both boats had
been destroyed.
“The men lined up on deck at atten
tion,” said the officer, “and ail pre
served the utmost composure until a
destroyer came alongside and effected
the transfer from the gradually sinking
deck.
“We stood along side until the last
man was taken off, who as might be
expected, was the commander of the
ship. Tlie patients in the ship’s hos
pital. including several cases of scar
lctina and fever, were among the first
taken off.”
Heatless Mondays Suspended in
States South of Virginia
—Order Soon May
Be General.
Washington, J>. <Feb. A.—With the
total abandonment of hoatless Monday
ttirnughout the states south of Virginia
today, fuel administration officials
were hopeful that the continued warm
weather and improvement in railroad
traffic would permit relaxation of the
order ali over the Fritted States after
next Monday.
As Saturday will be observed gener
ally as a half holiday, and as next
Tuesday is Lincoln’s birthday anniver
sary, there will be a three and one
half day shut. down. Officials believe
this will go far toward relieving the
situation. The original program called
for the last heatless Monday on
March 25.
It was announced also that in all
other states in which the order is
operative fuel may he furnished on fu
ture Mondays to heat and light lofts
and workshops occupied by members
of the International Allied (Jarment
Workers’ union.
PENDING FINANCE BILL
EXPLAINED BY IVTADOO
Washington, Feb. X.—Secretary Mr
Adoo before the Senate finance com
mitter. explaining the war finance cor
poration bill, said it was purely a war
measure contemplating the lending of
money through the banks for operat
ing of enterprises necessary to the suc
cessful prosecution of the war.
Fnder the bill's provisions, he ex
plained, should a bank lend money to
a munitions factory, the trank could
obtain through tin war finance cor
poration a loan amounting to 75 per
cent of the one advanced. These loans
could hr- made to any bank with a
member < the federal reserve system
or not.
Direct loans to concerns engaged in
w:>- activities could be made tinder
specified restrictions if it were shown
that, hanks were discriminating against
them.
Similar legislation now in force in
England and France has been success
ful, Secretary MeAdoo said. Senator
t’enrose observed that in England there
had not been any issue of "uncovered
paper."
‘‘At least the covering is so thin you
eau’t see it," remarked Senator Smoot,
"and that it is exactly what we are
coming to in this country."
Mr. MeAdoo said the bill sought to
.prevent that condition.

GERMMTHRUST
Artillery Fire Disperses Body
of Troops Estimated at Two
Battalions—Clean Out
Snipers.
By Associated Press.
On the American sector in France the
artillery Is endeavoring to even the
score with the enemy by bombing
heavily German batteries, trenches and
other military targets. German guns
were silenced when they attempted to
reply. The American gunners succeed
ed in dispersing a large body of Ger
mans, estimated at two battalions and
inflicting losses on the detachment.
Tlie German efforts against tlie
French lines at Verdun and in Alsace
are growing stronger. Infantry at
tacks have taken tho place of raids, but
tlie latest German attempts were re
pulsed with loss by the French north
east of Verdun, at the Bois Des Fosses
and south of Hartmanweilkopf, in Al
saee. Small raids and the usual artil
lery actions have occurred on the Brit
ish front. In Italy artillery activity has
been slight.
With the American Army in France,
(Thursday), Feb. 7.—American artillery
and infantry have succeeded in clean
ing out a majority of the snipers who
caused considerable annoyance from
the time the sector was taken over by
tlie troops. Snipers' posts in buildings
have been destroyed by knocking down
the shelters over the heads of the Ger
mans with shells. Snipers hidden in
bushes or in shell holes have been
routed by American sharpshooters.
Night patrols have succeeded in locat
ing some of the positions and the Ger
mans in them have been finished off
later.
Last night a small patrol entered an
advanced German trench in search of
a nest of snipers. A lieutenant, a cor
poral and two men left the American
lines and returned five hours later.
They walked across No Man's Land,
picking their way carefully to avoid
discovery. Reaching the enemy wire
they crawled beneath it cautiously and
approached the most advanced enemy
trenches. The men looked down into
; tlie trench, which apparently was aban
i doned, but there was some surprise
when they dropped down noiselessly
and found a place where the trench bot
tom showed fresh footprints. On the
parapet the corporal discovered a rifle
loaded and pointed in the direction of
the American trenches. There was not
a German around. Tlie corporal brought
back the rifle to tlie American lines. It
is a typical German weapon made in
Berlin and in good condition.
At another point enemy snipers were
discovered in a shell hole. A few well
placed shots from light artillery ended
their career. At another place a hail of
machine gun bullets were effective.
One, two, or possibly three snipers’
posts are still in front of the American
positions, but they are not likely to be
there long.
U. S. GUNS WELL HIDDEN.
With the American Armies in France,
Feb. 9.—German shells today were at
tempting to seek out the perfectly
camouflaged American heavy guns.
This afternoon the enemy’s heaviest
guns monotonously and persistently
i hurled big projectiles where they be
! lieved the American guns were hidden.
Trenchland was more iiuiet than I
usual today. Occasionally there wei e
outbursts of machine gunning. A fc .v
i German pineapple bombs landed on

Washington, D. C.. Feb. 8.—Pe
trograd is again the scene of grave
disorders. One hundred and twenty
persons are said to have been killed
in clashes between troops and rio
ters in three days.
Washington, D. O., Feb. 9.—An un
confirmed report that all the allies' mis
sions at Petrograd had been driven out
by the bolshevist government and are
on their way to the Swedish border,
was received today at the state depart
ment through American Minister Mor
ris at Stockholm.
The department has not heard from
Ambassador Francis at Petrograd since
February 2.
State department officials were un
prepared to believe that the American
ambassador was leaving Petrograd be
cause his last dispatch contained noth
ing to indicate that he contemplated
going. It was considered possible,
however, that expulsion might also in
clude a refusal to permit the diplomats
to communicate with their govern
ments.
Minister Morris at Stockholm also
reported that two trains from Petro
grad had arrived there one bringing
the expelled Rumanian legation. He
also reported the capture of Torneo by
the White Guards.
It wits assumed that the minister's
information regarding t)ie reported ex
pulsion of diplomats from Petrograd
was received from passengers on these
trains. Recently Ambassador Francis
received threats from a group of an
archists to hold him responsible for the
safety of Alexander Berkman and
Emma Goldman, sentenced to prison
for conspiring against the draft law.
There appeared to be no reason for be
lieving that the Petrograd government
was a party to the threat. Recently,
also the foreign office refused to per
mit diplomats to d’^^ upon funds in
Petrograd banks.
By United Press.
Petrograd, Feb. 9.—-Increasing Ger
man internal disaffection is responsible
for the change of tone of the Russian
delegates at the Brest-Litovsk peace
conference.
Hope is daily strengthening the Rus
sians. There is no retreat from their
original position and they may de
mand that tlie central powers apply
Russia’s formula of no annexations to
the west front.

Passage.
Washington, Fob. 9.—Favorable re
port on the war department’s bill
amending the selective draft law to re
quire registration of men as they reach
21 years and basing quotas on the
number of men in Class 1, instead of
on state populations, was unanimously
ordered today by the Senate military
committee.
Proposal to exempt men as they
reach 31 years, if they have not been
drafted, which was opposed by Provost
Marshal General Crowder, was not in
cluded in the bill.
An amendment proposed by Senator
New, of Indiana, to require registration
of youths at 19 years or over was also
rejected.
Another hill favorably reported which
affects the draft, would authorize the
president in any emergency to call in
to immediate military service skilled

BANKS PLEDGE AID
IN PURCHASING PAPER
Washington, D. Feb. 9.—Whole
hearted cooperation by banks and trust
companies was pledged in thousands of
telegrams which came today to Secre
tary McAcHo in response to his appeal
to banks to appropriate 1 per cent of
their resources every two weeks for 20
weeks for purchase of certificates of
indebtedness t'» be issued in prepara
tion for the third Liberty loan.
Some of the telegrams indicating the
enthusiasm of the bankers were.
“Our resources are $1,890,000. Ten
per cent would be $190,000. We have
this day set aside $200,000 subject to
your call."
“Our resources are at your command.

JOKE THAT CARRIED MORAL
Humorist Found How Many Men Were
Sincere In Desire to Save for the
Country's Needs.
Even the jokers aided Doctor Jame
son, the fuel administrator.
A group of young men wore enjoy
ing the comfortable cushions of ft

up and saw a single light burning
over the entrance of a cafe. He
stepped to a telephone and culled up
the cafe.
‘‘That light you have burning over
your entrance Is superlluous. Put It
out,” said he.
In a jiffy the light was out.
Up the street a dentist’s office dis
played a fancy electrical advertise

"For conservation’s sake please ex
tinguish your‘electric sign,” he said.
Out went the dentist’s sign.
On around the circle the order,
jokennade, went on anil before an
hour had passed the central part of

“Having served my country, I guess
I'll grope my way home lo supper,”
the joker said.
And he went his darkened way.
The jokers gained a patriotic moral.
They sat for an hour discussing the
willingness of so many people to com

“‘Why not?’ sakl I.
“He winked solemnly.
“ ‘The house Is sure to be willed to
