Of carrying on any kind of propa-
ganda, religious or otherwise, the
suggestion is so absurd as to be dis
gushing. And the average school
child knows that the immigration
commission would not permit this in
f1ux of dependent people, even if it
were possible for them to cross the
ocean.
For this bearing of false witness
against their brethren" several Chi
cagO men who call themselves min
listers Of Christ" are partly respon-
sible. They give moral and financial
aid to the sO-called National Reform
assn, Of which Frank J. Cannon and
other disgTuntled politicians are the
mainstays. They are Of the same
type Of men as coUntenance Billy
Sunday and other sensational and
emotional methods of frightening"
people to be good, and, instead of
being ministers" are a curse to the
cause of true Christianity.
Their spite against the Mormons
can be easily figured out. The Nor
mon people believe that every man
and woman should know as much
about the Savior and His teachings
as any other man or woman, there
fore they have no paid ministers OF
preachers. If everybody believed the
teachings Of Christ from the view
point of MoTmons all the ministers
would be out of job and would have
to work for living. AS the people
are gradually learning of the beauti-
full and practical community life of
the MOrmOns, especially in the west
ern states, as well as of their loyalty
to and obedience of the laws of the
United States as evidenced in every
trouble we have had with a foreign
foe, their membership is increasing.

PIER DAMAGE SMALL

A second report Of the weather

the probable loss down to $500 and

that can be said of its construction
is that a few mistakes were made,
declared Comm'r of Public Works

E. c. Shankland, engineer who su-

March Ship Loss
Is 100000 Tons,
Says Beresford
Toll Will Grow, He Asserts, as
Days Lengthen-Minimizes
U-Boat Captures

London, March 97.--Losses OF mer-
chant vessels amounting 10 more than
10000 tons thus far in March have
resulted from war measures of the
Central Powers, Admiral Lord Charles
Beresford, retired, said in the House Of
Lords to-day.
In debate on the British blockade
Lord Charles said that. with longer
days and calmer weather, the losses
would increase, and that the public
ought to have the facts brought home
10 il. The number of vessels DESTROYED
thus far this month was given by him
ss 255.
Lord Charles expressed the opin-
ion that CAPTURES OF submarines by
thc British were not at all equivalent
to the new submarines the Germans
were launching. He believed the Ger
mans had more men and more food
than had been imagined in England.
The Foreign Office. ne said, had too
much power over the navy, 70 the
detriment Of the navy.
The losses Of British, Allied and
neutral vessels for February, he said,
amounted 10 2sl vessels. with an ag-
cregate tonnage Of more than 600.
On the basis Of these figures. the
indicated average daiiv loss of tonnage
for this month is about 10 per cent
less than IN February.

Secondly. opposition has developed
among a group of Senator'S who profess
to have special knowledge of the pres
ent sentiment of the Middle and Far
West They declare that such an ex-
petition would sntagonize public opin-
ion. They say the people east OF the
Alleghenies are not at all in tune with
the Westerners. A very well known
public man from the Middle West, a
former member of the Senate, here TO-
day said that the national capital little
realized how differently people felt in
the Mississippi Valley. The sentiment
there, he declared. even IS strong for
the little group Of wilful men, the
twelve Senator's who flibustered against
the armed ship bill.
But the members Of the President
Cabinet who are now openly for action
against Germany-the same men, by
the way. who forced an earlier call OF
Congress-believe that they, too, know
something about the sentiment of the
country They will urge sending a
brigade or so of the regular army to
the Western front Immediately.

81 Dead on British
Hospital Ship Sunk
Without Warning
Two Women Lost with Asturias
II Persons Missing, 80
Hurt-Reprisals Urged

London. March 27.--The British hos
pital ship Asturias, whose sinking was
announced by Berlin yesterday, was
torpedoed without warning, it was Of
ficially announced to-day. Thirty-one
persons were killed and twelve are
missing. The statement says:
THE British hospital ship Asturias,
while steaming with all navigating
lights and with all proper distin-
gushing Red Cross signs visbly IL
Illuminated, was torpedoed without
warning on the night of Msrch 20.
The following casualties occurred: ::
Military-Dead. II; missing 3. in
cluding one female staff nurse; in.
jured, II. Crew-Dead, 20; missing,
Q. including ] stewardess: injured, %.
"The torpedoing Of this hospital ship
is included in the list of achievements
claimed By U-boats as reported in a
German wireless press message yester-
day"
II is assumed that the sinking Of
the Asturias will be met with prompt
reprisals. The suggestion is made
that several OF the highest ranking
German officers among the British
prisoners should be carried on all hos
pital ships.
IL is understood that when the
Asturias was torpedoed she was carry
ing no wounded. She had disembarked
considerable number of wounded at
a certain British port and was on a
return voyage, with some 800 persons
aboard.
The Press Association says that the
Asturias was torpedoed about midnight.
The torpedo damaged the rudder and
passed into the engine room, breaking
the machinery, including the electric
plant.
The Asturias had landed about 900
sick. Those aboard consisted OF the
crew. members OF the medical corps and
nurses. The distress signals were an
swered and several boatloads of sur
vivors were towed ashore. Between 300
and 400 were brought in. Many OF
them were thnly clad and some were
wounded. three Of whom died after they
were landed.

Russia Prepares
To Meet Peace
Drive by Socialists
By ARTHUR s. DRAPER



London. March 27.-Russia's pro-
visional government is arming itself
against two enemies-the expected
German attack near Riga and strong
peace drive by the Socialists at home.
The latter probably will come first, and
if is viewed with fully as much concern
As the offensive which it is expected
Hindenburg will launch about the end
Of April in the hope of capturing
Petrograd.
The German Imperial Chancellor. Won
Bethmann-H -Hollweg, is expected TO fur
nish ammunition for the Socialists
when ne speaks in the Reichstag on
Thursday. incidentally trying to placate
the United States at the same time.
An odd situation exists in Russia. A
month AFRO thc autocrats were trying to
end the war by disorganizing tne coun-
trv and now the extreme Socialists
have the same aim. They arc organiz-
ing disorders, promoting social unrest
.rd furthering a wild-eyed propaganda.
Through misguided patriotism they are
attempting to swing the country from
one extreme TO the other.
Some Pro-German Socialists
But besides the patriotic Socialists
there are a goodly number among them
with strong pro- German leanings. For
example, news was just received OF the
arrest of the manager Of the anti-war
Socialist paper "Pravda.' who proved
TO be an agent of Stuermer and IN his
nav. Two of the leading Socialists OF
Petrograd were arrested when 1t was
discovered that they were court agents.
In Petrograd and the western prov
inces there arc some 100000 Germans,
many OF them Socialists. Russian
Socialists are organized along the same
lines as the German brotherhood.
Here lies the danger of the provi-
sional government. They must satisfy
The Left Wing. but they are having dif-
feulty in diiferentiating between those
with pro- German, anti-war feelings and
those who created and took part in the
beginning in the revolutionary move
ment. Among the latter, who recognize
the necessity OF fighting Prussian mill
tarism are included Vera Zssualitch.
Krapotkin. Tchsykovsky, Deutsch and
Plekhanof.
