HEROIC WORK OF
BRITISH CONVOYS
Prevented Misfortune From
Being Much Worse Than
It Was
Washington.?Torpodood and sunk
- , . i
by a German submarine, the Curt a rd
liner Tuscania, bearing 2,179 officers
and men of the 82nd National Guam
division, lies at the bottom of the
North Atlantic ocean today, and at j
least H)8 troopers, probably more,
are missing. ]
On the basis of figures reported to!
the War and State departments here. |
the missing; would be 2(17; the figiu-j
c> of the British admiralty, as they
stood early today, however, placed
the missing at 1(>8.
There is every hope that the lower;
number will prove to be correct,
British convoys close to the torpedoed
ship closed in quickly and < 1 i 1 heroic
work, as the comparatively smai!
number of losses shows. The position
of the Tuscania off the north
coast of Ireland, evidently headed for
England, also was such that numbers
of British patrol ships and other
^Vs.'cls rushed to her side, and in j
that wry tht l0:T(-s wore minimized.
urn bled on l.'-Bout. |
fjj>.Such reports as wore at hand cany
tnilfiy gave no details of how the
transport, supposedly heavily convoyed,
fell in with the submarine, bu:
it was regarded as more probata<
that the ship stumbled on the sub
mcrsible, rather than that the disastor
was the first shot in the mu.h
advertised (.lerpnui offensive against
the line of American troops and supplies.
^ It was thought possible lv ro that
survivors of the British crew of the
v? ssol. not reported in War Depart- \
merit advices, might account for the I
difference in figures as 10 the nuin-,
bcr of missing. d
There was some speculation among '
naval officers on the possibility tl\n\
the Tuscania might have struck a
mine. The indicated location of the
disaster is in a region not previously
frequented by submarines but the
texts of official announcements say ;
the ship was torpedoed, and until do* j
tailed accounts of the incident are!
available lor study there is nothing

tdatoment. '
British Uaiuiss
It is doubtful that the Tuseanht
was in a route us* !y followed by
American transports. As a British
vessel under British convoy, the security
of the American troops beyond
question was entrusted to British
handling-. So far as now known, ;r>
American naval craft shared in the
task. Probably numerous other
transports or army supply vessel
were in the convoy.
The Tuscania must have remained
afloat for a considerable time. Rumors
were current today which could
not be traced to any source that sir1
was still a float.
Ho>v It Maj Have Happened.
Th(. process of convoying has becom*'
almost routine through piactn*
in both the Bi itish and American :r.i
v'ms. A screen of destroyers or othei
swift craft travels ahead of a convo;
< d !'le<4. The destroyr rs are sprca
( ut over a con.-ule)alile area. It :
k town tha; \irtuaHy all of the (lei
man U-boats are equipped with li-5
toning devices of eons'devable rang
so the approach of the destroyers In
came known to the U-boat comtnano
c.r ever before th< vessels themselvv
were .si/.vhlod. I'rar of depth bond
would drive the U-boat below, I
lurk motionless at some depth unt
the sound of the destroyers' prope
lcr v had faded out, showing that tin
hud passed. The U-boat probab
would come to the surface then
fire u torpedo.
Naval officials say that the o
chance against which absolute p?
caution will not regard is that t
submarine will corr.o up in the pa
of the approaching transports, obtn
a sight that will permit her to tri
her torpedo tubes by compass a
."gain submerge.
Might Have Been Worse.
While the loss indicated was fu
apiVeciated by officials here, tin
v as iK general air of relief about I
v?r nnd r.avy departments that 1

"The sinking of the Tuscan ui

of ivwQtkit* jtmdfct ielcptless form.
It is a fresh challenge ov the civilized j
world by an adversary who has refined,
but made more deadly, tne
.
stealth of the save in warfare. W"
must win this war, and we will win
this war. Losses like this unite the
country in sympathy with the families
of those who have suffered loss;
they also unite us to make more determine
our purpose to press on.
"As rapidly as details come in thc>
will be given to the public, jn jpicjer
to relieve anxiety where possible, ah I
notice will be sent as promptly as
possible to those whose sons and
brothers have been added to the n l~
tion's heroic dead."
The war department issued the following
statement:
i "British authorities have wired inIstructions
to their commands in Scotland
and Ireland to afford our troops
from the Tuscania every possible as- i
sistance and to furnish them with j
clothing requirements. Officers have
been dispatched from Liverpool am!
(llasgow and London to points in Ireland
where survivors now are and
they will wire names immediately.
American consul at Belfast reported
own survivors ai l^arnc. As soon as j
llioy arc properly outfitted they will
h(. brought to Wind-1seer."
First News.
First news of the sinking came in a
report to the war department rar'y !
last night announcing that 1,100 sur-|
vivors had been landed at Buncrami J
and Larne, two widelv separated I
Irish ports. This was made public
about 10 o'dock, and until the arrival
of the State Department dispatch
two hours later it was feared
that more than 1,400, including the
Cunarder's crew had perished.
President Stays I'p Late.
President Wilson, who was attending
the theater when the news of the
.sinking was reco'vod; Secretary Ha- j

messages came through until the list j
of survivors began to arrive from j

two army officers to Belfast and rep- I

Notwithstanding the Closing of fLarge

by President
The attention of the United Sta'e)epartment
of Agriculture has been ?
ailed to rumors which have been eirulated
in some sections to thc effect
hat on account of the closing of
nany distilleries in accordance wifli
he President's proclamation under
he food-control act there will be no
nnrket for soft corn this year, with
csultant losses to the growers, i
"hose statements have received moio
ban usual attention by reason of ^
here being an unusually large percntnge
of soft corn this year, due to
urly frosts and unseasonably coo.,

located driers with a oomhin- (I
capacity of approximately .*5,000,

It is prob;tbl(. that the total erparty
of the driers and distilleries in

hail the survey figures show, as
hero is a chance that some plants
iave been overlooked in this hurried ?
urvev. In addition to these plant-*,
here ar0 starch and corn-products

luantities of soft corn when it can >n

It appears from tlie survey that ^
here is a sufficient capacity to tak*. *

Owing to congestion of shipments
