London, March 81 British de-
stroyer was sunk with al! hands in the

500 colonial troops, artillery and horses
on board, was sunk by a German sub
marine in the Mediterranean on Feb
ruary "a. the admiralty announced.
Some of the troops on board were lost.
The statement reads:
German submarines have sunk the
following vessels in the barred zone
of the Mediterranean:
"Fcbruary Il, south of Malta, trans
port steamer of about 5000 tons, filled
with cargo and escorted by other ves-
sells. steering eastward.

building in England for the Holland
American line when the war broke out
and was taken over by the British
