London. Feb. %. - A Queenstown
dispatch to the Chronicle says the La
coma was torpedoed in comparatively
calm weather. The first torpedo
struck near the stern and when the
vessel was struck a second time she
listed quickly to starboard. The boats
got away with considerable difficulty,
but there was no. panic among the
passengers or crew. The smallness of
the loss of life was due to the excel
lent discipline of the crew and the
orderllness of the passengers.
a steamer brought 267 survivors to
Queenstown early on Tuesday, who
were rescued from eight boats. The
passengers versions of the number
lost differ. Some say 25 were drown
ed and others not more than ten.
Among those known to be lost are
Mrs. and Miss Hoy. Americans. Four
Americans are among the surviving
passengers, one of whom is the Rev.
Joseph Waring, of Baltimore, who was
exhausted when brought
81 ashore

No Fear OF Submarines
BY Assoeiated Press

Paris, Feb. 81. Captain Allen
Tucker, commander of the American
freighter Orleans, is quoted by the
Bordeaux correspondent of the Havas
agency as saying that he had no fear
of his ship being torpedoed on its
trip across the Atlantic. I'VE were
not armed" Captain Tucker said,
"and as neutrals were under the pro-
lection of our national flag"
The Orleans encountered a severe
storm on her voyage to Bordeaux, but
saw no signs of a submarine. She
passed two sailing ships and two
steamers, but at too great a distance
to tell their nationality.

When Nature Broke All
Her Records

q Sometime Nature may turn out as good to-
bacco as she did in 1914, but one thing is cer-
tain = she'll never produce any better
q 1t was just simply record-breaker for quail
ity there's no other way of putting it.
q And it wasn't confined to one locality - IN
the States, Cuba, Porto Rico, everywhere, it
was the same.
q Then folks began to put it through a curing
process to get it ready for smoking.
q Some were impatient - used artificial means
to age it and undid all that Nature had done.
q Others gave Nature chance to finish what
she started = even though it did take months
and months to finish her task.
G And there's no use wasting space trying to
tell you which is the better tobacco.
q But here's something you will want to
know
give recognized what Mature mad done, and
as soon as that naturally cured 1914 crop of
record-breaking quality was ready for the
cigarmaker, we went into the markets and fair
ly bought our heads off.
