Paper trousers are now worn by a large 'proportion of the men in Germany. Whole suits are being rold which contain practically no fabric ex cept paper, and the demand far exceeds the supply. Collars are -selling in Berlin for nearly' 75 cents each, and shoe laces of paper yarn are 15 cents a pair. Leather is almost unobtainable, Boots with wooden solei are worn even by the better class, and fully 40 per cent of the soldiers at the front wear them.

SKILLFUL MANEUVERING OF ONE BRITISH COMMANDER SA VES LIVES OF MANY OF OUR SAMMIES ON ILL-STARRED S. S. TUSCANIA An Irish Port, Feb. 8. Most of the Americans were lost through the Tuscania's sudden heavy list after being -torpedoed, which caused faulty launching f trie lifeboats. The German torpedo' struck the Tuscania a vital blow amidships, causing it to list almost immedi ately to starboard. Instead of ploughing forward in this fashion as most vessels do under the circumstances, the Tus cania stopped dead. A shiver ran 'through it and it keeled over at a dangerous angle. The list to starboard so elevated the lifeboats on &e port side as to render them prac tically useless and only a few of the boats on that side were launched. ' The first of these struck the water unevenly, cap sizing and throwing the occupants into the sea. After that several boats were launched successfully, but the vessel's list became .more perilous, and some of the men who were trying to get into the boats from the starboard side now climbed along the deck to the rail, to which they clung, t Many by this time had donned life, belts . and jumped overboard. Hundreds of others were pre-' paring to follow this example, when a British destroyer boldly drew up right alongside the Tuscania. When , the men saw this, many of them Jeaped from the boat " and saloon decks to that of the waiting destroyer. This destroyer took off several hundred men, all it could carry, ?nd moved away. It had come up along the starboard side of the Tuscania. As it steamed away with its deck loaded down with Americans another destroyer emerged out of the darkness on the Tuscania's port, now high out of the water. When the men on the doomed ship recovered from their surprise at this unexpected and skillful maneuvering of the British commander, there was an other scramble to reach the elevated portside, some of Fiction. 1 THE U.

All the time this rescue work was progressing, cool - heads were getting the few other lifeboats afloat. De spite the many difficulties the crew behaved well and the coolness of the American soldiers was the subject of commendation in affidavits by the boat's officers. G. K. Lynas, second officer of the Tuscania, ex plained that owing to the ship's heavy roll and the en tanglement of the falls it was found necessary to cut away some or the ropes to the lifeboats. He said: "During all this time the soldiers behaved splendid ly and with perfect discipline." George Newton Hall of Los Angeles, first lieutenant .of engineers, was sitting on a lounge reading a book on "No Man's Land," which he was about to visit wherf the torpedo Itruok. He knew what had happened and shouted the word "torpedo" across the room. With several others he hurried to the lifeboats station on the boat deck. "There stood several privates at attention," he said, "awaiting my orders to launch the boats. In less time than it takes to tell they were joined by the requisite . number. . It was surprising to see how these new sol diers carried out their duties like veterans. "We got the first boat down to the saloon deck, where it was promptly filled with soldiers and was low ered into the water without mishap. The second boat, however, was being lowered when the wind carried it on to another lifeboat, crushing it and several of the occupants.. We then launched three more, without fur ther trouble." ' i After seeing themen reach the water safely, Lieu tenant Hall let himself down by a rope. Lieutenant Wallace Patterson of Cleveland followed him down the rope, and much to their surprise, they fell into the last boat launched.
