1t is expected that all Of the 2 900
men comprising the expedition will

lfweek and that at least part of the
kremaining 5000 guardsmen guarding
s&he border may be released shortly
/ Thereafter. Army officers point to the

When Gen. Pershing went into Mex

The auxiliary cruiser Laurentic car
rled a naval reserve crew of 800 Of
ficers and men, including fourteen en-
gineers and ten deck officers, and was
commanded by naval captain. The
dispatch would indicate that at least
$50 of these were lost. Chief Engin-
eer Hurst and his staff were White
Star employees as also were two of the
deck officers, it was said The Laur-
entic was armed with six 6-inch guns
and several quickfirers. and had a
speed of seventeen knots.
During a two years cruise in the
Indian Ocean and Pacific on patrol
duty the auxiliary cruiser Laurentic
halted the American mail steamship
China and took off thirty-eight Aus
trian and German subjects who were
on their way from Shanghai to San
Francisco. The United States govern
ment protested on the ground that it
was an exact parallel of the famous
Trent affair and asked for their re-
lease. When the British government
declined to act, a second note was sent
and the men were released
The Laurentic was one of the most
popular ships in the White Star-Do-
minion service from Liverpool to Mon
treal and Quebec before the war She
was built at Harland & VOLTS yard
in Belfast in, 1908, and was the first
passenger liner to be equipped with
twin reciprocating engines and a low
pressure turbine in the center to drive
the third Propeller. The Laurentic
was $50 feet 4 inches long and Al feet
inches depth of hold, and had ac-
comm odation for so first, 400 second
and $50 third class passengers, and
six holds insulated for carrying frozen
beef.
The White Star officials in New
York had not received any notification
of the sinking of the Laurentic until
