thing much deeper. much more funda-

lization. My theme of those great prin-
ciples of compassion and of protection
which mankind has sought TO throw
about human lives the lives of nom
combatants. the lives of men who are
peacefully at work keeping the indus
trial processes of the world quick and

and of those who supply the labor

We are speaking of no selfish material
rights. but of rights which our hearts
support and whose foundation is that

October in the Mediterranean while in
the British government service. Both
vessels were taken over by the British
admiralty soon after the war began.
and the Laconia was for while used
in the service Of the government as a
transport She was only recently re-
stored to her owners for commercial
purposes. and the trip on which she
was sunk was her third after coming
back to the service for which she was
built Several of the officers in the
stewards department were on the La
coma and were on the F'ranconia when
she went down.
The registered gross tonnage of the
Laconia was 1880, her length was SIS
feet and she had a beam Of u feet.
Designed for high class passenger
trade her fittings were models OF
modern marine architecture.
No steerage passengers were on
board the ship and those not Ameri-
cans were mostly English or Canadians.
many Of the latter being on their way
to England to engage in government
service, or returning to duty after
leaves of absence at home.
Officials of the Cunard steamship
line declared tonightthat as far as they
knew there were no "Foys" aboard the
Laconia. They said that the dispatch
which reported a Mrs. Foy and daugh-
ter missing and supposed to have been
drowned, undoubtedly referred to Mrs

passengers and twenty members of
the crew. were on board the Cunard
liner Laconia. from New York Febru-
uary IS for Liverpool, with seventy
five passengers and crew of 216. when
the vessel was sunk by a German
submarine Sunday night. One casual
ty. as yet unidentified, was officially
reported by the Liverpool office of the
/ line to officials here.
| The names of the American passen-
J Sers and their addresses as given By
the line here, and confirmed in part by

The Rev. James Warning. registered
from New York but said to be from
Norfolk, Va.
The Americans among the crew were
signed here to take the places of others
whose terms Of service had expired or
who had failed to appear when The
ship was ready to sail. The men were
recruited mostly from shipping offices
and gave New York and Brooklyn as
their places of residence. They were
stokers, coal trimmers, wipers and
seamen.
While details of the cargo of the
Laconia are withheld under a recent
ruling of the customs officials. it was
learned at the office of the company
that the following items were among
the principal commodities carried:
One thousand bars of silver, 10000
bushels Of wheat, 2,S43 bales of cotton
1.4O8 boxes of fresh fruit, 1900 tons OF
shell castings and other war supplies.
and 5000 tons of provisions.

OF the line that there were no eXplos-
ives on board.
In addition to cargo and passengers,
the LacOnia carried 5000 bags Of
United States and Canadian mail 1900
sachs OF winch had been transferred

Laconia, sailing on the same date the
Holland american liner Ryndam re-
turned to port after being turned back
from her voyage to Rotterdam by the
submarine menace had on board nine
Of the Ryhdam's passengers.
The Laconia, when she left here
was armed with one defense gun,
mounted aft. The report that the ship
was torpedoed at night and without
warning indicates that there was no
opportunity to use the defense gun,
according to officials of the line.
The Laconia is the second ship to
be sunk of the former Boston Liverpool
service of the Cunard line. A sister
ship, the Franconia, was sunk last

posed in congress today by Senator
Borah of Idaho who introduced reso-
luton to appropriate s6.OO0,0 600 to be

local authorities to furnish food and

The German retirement. coming so
closely on the heels of unrestricted
submarine war forms one of the
most interesting phases Of the great
war. The Germans gave the first
intimation of the near approach OF
their retirement when they evacuated
Grandecourt three weeks ago. This
was evidence of new German tactics,
for throughout all the bitter fighting
of 1916 they never yielded an inch OF
ground until they were driven out at
the point of the bayonet.
The backward movement inaugural
ed at Grandecourt now becomes the
greatest retreat on this front since
the battle of the Marne. The events
of the last two days have sent a
thrill through the entire British
army, a thrill which seems to fore
cast the end of the Stationery" war
