.SOUTHERNERS, MISSING
FROM TORPEDOED BOAT
One Officer and Twenty u. S,
Seamen Probably Killed in
U-BOat Attack

WASHINGTON, Nov. Following
closely the first casualty list in trench
fighting, the navy department early to-
day made public a list of one officer and
twenty men missing from the Ameri-
can patrol boat Alcedo, submarined
Monday.
Struck squarely by a torpedo, she
sank i'll four minutes.
of the ninety-two men aboard but
seventy-one were saved, indicating the
greatest GOODNESS by officers and crew
after the torpedo struck her. Naval
officers consider it likely that many of
these were killed outright by the vio-
lence of the torpedo's explosion and that
others were stunned or too badly hurt
to receive help.
Whether the trim little former yacht
the first United States warship to be
lost in the war--had a chance to battle
for its life or was struck without warn
ing will not be known until further de-
tails of the disaster are obtained.
According to reports, nearby vessels
began. work of rescue almost imme'
dately after the Alcedo was hit. AS
the survivors came into port, more COM
plete accounts are expected.
The war zone is fairly covered by YES
sells like the Alcedo-patrol boats
which. in guarding larger warships and
cargo ships from the submarine. daily
encounter the deadliest danger. That
more of them are not sunk appears
miraculous, despite the constant watch
fulness of their crews.
The Alcedo, formerly yacht owned
bv G. w. Chids Drexel, a Philadelphia
capitalist, was sold to the government
and reconstructed last spring.

STRIKE THREATENED
IN HOSIERY FACTORY.

Street rumor has it that a strike is
brewing at the Taubel Hosiery Mill
on N. Main street on account of the
change in managers which was re-
Gently made. The former manager,
John Lord, under whom the manufac-
tory was originally started, was dis
placed several weeks ago by F. H.
Kaufman. A petition was circulated
among the employees and forwarded
to the main office of the company in
Riverside asking that Nh. Lord be re-
instated. 1t is stated that the new
manager, learning of this action, dis
charged the employees who had taken
the action against him, with the re-
suit that a walk-out seems probable
unless the main Office takes immediate
action in the matter,
