LADS FACED DEATH BRAVELY America Ready With New Methods to Combat the Submarines-Russian Bolsheviki Fighting All Their Neighbors-President Wil son Asks Further Powers. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. The United States sustained its first severe blow in the war on Wednesday, when the transport Tuscania, carrying American troops to Europe, was tor po(edi off the north Irish coast and sank in two hours. At the time of writing the number of missing, pre suimiaily lead, is 101. Of these .57 were American officers and enlisted men, the others being umeumbers of the Brit Ish crew. That tile losses were so small was due to the excellent work of the convoying vessels and the time the Tuscania remained afloat. The fact that such disasters as this wiere t-xipected in the process of trans porting hundreds of thousands of men to E'urope does not lessen the shock to the nation or mitigate the anguish of the relatives of the victims. But those relatives have the great consola tion of knowing that their boys met their fate bravely and calmly, as Amer icuin sold'iers abould, and that they gave their liv es for their country and for '-1viiizttion as truly as if they had died 'in the flid of battle. Most of these 1troopiers w'-re but partly trained mnem-* b'-rs oif forestry anid other contingents going oiver to woirk behind the lines, bu't whsen the first excitement of the ex ploi 'n had Wiassed th'.se lads, like veteran soilers, lined up (in the deck Sndi~ ug nat ional irs while they wait ed their turns in lifeboats. Thie siniking (if thle Tulscania has se*rved to weld the dletermilnation of the entire nation to see the war through toi a victorious finish. It also Shas brought forth the information that the American navy, which so far has -beeni fighting the U-boats with make Ishift devices, is now about, ready to put into operation new devices and -methods that, it is confidently believed, t wiil prolve most effective in dealing -with the murderous submarines. The - movemnent (if trooips to the other side wiil not be checked in the slightest by the losis of this oine transport. Says Secretary of the Navy Daniels: "Just as fast as our ships can carry men to Europe they will go, and just as fast as they mire eqiuipped they will be sent, -and shlips will carry them, andl no man living will ever again see the day when -our goodls will be carried across the ) Atlantie except in ships flying the flag of thme United States." For a hunch that is determined to have pence, the biolsheviki of Russia are getting plenty of fighting these days. And accordiing to reports, they are not getting the best of it. Under tiaking to coerce F~ninln into a revolu tion like their own ini Iussia, they and thme Finish ited guards have been de feated in long and( b)100(dy battles at Uleiiborg aind Tammaerfersm by the gov ernmen t forces coilmallnded by General Miannerholm, known us the White guard. UI('mborg was the chief miii tary depot of the lRussians in northern Finlanld, and both there and1( at Tam mumrmfors the White guard capturedl con sidierablhe stores of munitions andl arms. So' far Sweden has refused to permit suipplies to lie sent across the border toi General Mlannerheiml, dlespite tile dimands of thme Swedish press and peo Pie. To the south the holsheviki are fighlt Ing both the Ukrainians and the Rou mlanians in Btesarabia and apparently getting well whipped.

The Tartars occupied Yalta, in the government of Taurida, and were ad vancing to Sebastopol, the great naval base on the Black sea. Adding to their own troubles, the bolshev(ki decreed the separation of church and state and seized aill church property for the people, which aroused the patriarch of Russia to excoiuni Cate some of them and to call for a holy war. An unconlred report said Polish troops hAd captured MAohillev, head quarters of the bolshevii army, and had captured Commander In Chief Krylenko and his staff. A deadlock over the question of the Ukraine put an end, for the present at least. to the peace negotiations t Brest-Litovsk. The Germans, It wvas caid, then demanded their terms he ne cepted nt once, threatening otherwise to march on Petrograd. The Russaan soldiers' council ait Moscow called on the government to form a volunteer socialist army and continue resistance. leanwhile economic and food cond tions In Petrograd and other parts of Russia are growvin:r steadily worse. It Is, quite evident that Trotzky ains been counting on at real revolution of the workers of Germany. and it Is equally evident that no such revolution Is forthcoming In the near future. The widespread strikes which were hailed with joy by the foolishly optimistic were quIckly crushed by the military power of the government, many of the leaders forced Into the army and the rank and file of the workers driven back to their labor. In this Internal struggl ae German autocracy seem ingly did not yield a single point to the democracy, though some effect of the strikes may appeain the e future. The radical leaders In the epire are not backing water, ainy more than are their autocratie opponents, and the situation there Is still critical. rAn ad fsite of the wr cabin ackdt mntirn dlreorate hils intena hstrgl ftrme Germans auoracyideemW inl did Wenotyelda ad inloittocen tries meay apear nvteftre.a aThel radicald leaderawiy whe ehpre auratc hingwater any ore than che teirc autocauticooesn the idetdutiong ther to sti ribtecoorantelcn Ad al exbstitut admrntheive cabnet ton mundiagnciestoad create which hews agil opposes sdentcessar fon th on dnetday thad inrodue ins athoreatob tranafer app-ropriations frominet dopawayment bureauracm iesicincto and tothie thencyhe may dtiegat. wr.Itws(rat~ o Mr.s Wo bupo the moreyasural tI auoprioes te president,n the warmtonderstricutefcf-ordinations tionm and ancieswandvereatee suhe ne gnsa edeems necessarytoprrmhsak wi-the foeincy. othe r. congres soe dahried te h ta lly aproratains ftrmon dittorhip.

On the s other hand, Rear Admiral Harris of t the naval bureau of yards and (docks, was rather optimistic concerning the s shipbuilding progress, stating that un- v der favorable conditions the govern ment would complete this year its orig- b inal program of 6,000,000 tons of con- r struction. Chairman Flood of the f house foreign affairs committee also h added a cheerful note wheni he said the United States "will furnish ioro men and more money for the war in a far shorter time than has been the fondest hope of our own people or the nations with which we are associated." Directly connected with the question e of ocean transportation is the propo- 8 sition of the British government that t 150 battalions of Americans be trained s in English camps so they can be hur- e ried to the front in Flanders and to the sector held by General Pershing. This would serve to relieve the exist Ing congestion at the French ports where Americans now are debarked. This and similar plans are still under discussion. Although General Maurice, director of military operations, says the allies are still nunrically superior on the west front and have no fear of the re sults of the expected German drive there, Great Britain and France are urging America to get as many men as possible into the fighting lines. The German concentration movement has been going' on steadily and the C German press says all is ready to strike the blow whenever Hindenburg says the word, and that the greatest ' battle of the war is about to begin. Hindenburg himself gave the world a laugh the other day when he told a a group of editors that he would be In b Paris by next April 1. i -I~- d During the week the Germans at- i tacked the French rather strongly in t the Aisne and Verdun regions but a were utterly repulsed. All along the b west front the activity of the aerial forces reached a high pitch, and the r artillery fighting was continuous. The k American expeditionary force, whose ~ sector has been revealed as lying east, of St. Mihiel andl north of Nancy, was subjected to every form of attack thea enemy could devise, and stood it alla well, replying vigorously andi effective- a ly. There is no lingering doubt as to how well andi bravely Pershing's boys will fight. The accurate aire of theirA batteries is especially noteworthy. There has been little change in the a situation in Italy, the invadlers having lost gr-ound if anything. The Italian aviators did excellent work in bombing a the enemy's rear lines and munition!t stations, while the Boche airmen de voted their efforts mainly, and charac- 1 teristically, to attacks on Venice, Trev iso, Padua and Mestre, where the ~ greatest damage they could do was t6 D' women and children, hospitals and architectural treasures. rr Uncle Sam is putting the clamps on |t the enemies within his borders in a E way that probably will check their ne- am farious operations.

Hutcheson, presidenit f the United Brotherhood of Carpen Ers and Joiners, send striking ship ard workers in eastern plants back to rork pending an adjustment of their rievauces was made by Chairman [urley, of the shipping board. Earlier in the day HutcheuL had nswered a previous appeal .4th a ommunication declaring it would be hnpossible -for him to act until he had ome definite proposition from the -hipping board asto working condi Ions. lHutcheson's virtual defiance of the hipping board presents a situation on rhich oicials declined to comment. fr.
