MANY INJURED
 WH|LE,COAST|NG Seattle Boy Instantly Killed When His Sled Crashes Into an Au-
 tomobile at Crossing.

SEATTLE, Jan. 3.-The fall of snow here before New Years day has resulted in a number of coasting accidents being reported to the po- lice, one of which proved fatal.
 During New Years day and Sunday hundreds of young people in all parts of the city indulged in sleighing par ties and coasting down the steep hill- sides, especially in the district above Broadway and in the Capitol Hill district.
 The fatality was that of boy whose sleigh crashed into an auto mobile at a crossing. His head was crushed, killing him instantly. Sev- eral of the injured are in hospitals, suffering from broken arms and legs and scores of narrow escapes are re- ported.
 The snow has interfered with the jitney car service in the hill districts and a number of cars have been bad ly damaged by skidding into the curb as the drivers cannot control their machines.

BRITISH LINERS
 ARE SUbMAR|NED
Government Makes Announcement that Passengers and Crews were
 Saved from Vessels.

LONDON, Jan. 3.-It is reported by the British war office that two more British steamers, the Glengyle and the Stoswald have been claimed as victims by the submarines of the enemy nations. The bulletin an- nouncing the sinking of the vessels withholds the locations of the places where the steamers were destroyed but it is believed to have been in the North Sea.
 It is reported that the passengers and crews of both vessels were saved despite the fact that the liners were torpedoed without receiving warn ing.
 The sinking of the British ships has created a wave of hatred to sweep over England which is more intense than that manifested even when the British warships were torpedoed off the coast of England last year. De- mands are being made that the gov- ernment take steps to counteract the activities of the undersea craft which has been claiming victims in all parts of the war zone.

LONDON, Jan. 3.---The survivors of the British liner Persia, which was torpedoed in the Mediterranean sea last Thursday, have arrived at Alex andria and it is now definitely known that two hundred persons perished when the steamer sank.
 The survivors say that the liner plunged to the bottom within six minutes after being hit by the torpe- do, carrying with her the lifeboats which the crew had been unable to launch owing to the list in the vessel.
 It is reported that the Persia was torpedoed while the passengers were in the dining room and that no panic ensued as it was not believed the ves- sel was in a sinking condition al- though she listed badly soon after the explosion.

 THE FORD PARTY
Many of the Delegates Have Quit the Peace Ship and Will Return on
 Liner from Copenhagen.

COPENHAGEN, Jan. 3.-The Hen ry Ford peace expedition was desert ed yesterday by about one third of the members of the party, most of whom are students. They are anx- ious tokreturn to their work and will leave for America on the first liner sailing for New York from Copen- hagen via the English channel as they are unwilling to risk travelling in the North Sea owing to danger from float ing mines.
 They admit that the expedition, which was to have accomplished so much has failed and believe that the peace ship will soon sail for New York. The members of the party here believed that Henry Ford had some definite plan worked out where by they could have been of service to him in bringing peace to Europe but that the illness of the leader in- terfered with his plans.
 Dr. Frederick Cook, the Arctic ex- plorer and mountain climber, has IT, rived here from England. He has advised the students to return home, and not to let the fear of ridicule in- terfere with their actions. He says ridicule has been heaped upon him ever since he returned from the Arc tic but that 1t has only served to show whom his true friends are.
 The American explorer had but re- gently returned from England from India, where he had been held as a German spy until his identity could be established. He is undecided as to his movements and may decide to join the Ford expedition at Stock hOlm
