Secretary Daniels issued this state ment:
 Additional information received from Vice Admiral Sims today re- veals the fact that the Jacob Jones was torpedoed at 4:12 D. m. on De- cember 6. She began to settle aft and finally sank at 4:29. The submarine was not seen until some time after the ship sank. The submarine then picked up one survivor, whose iden- tity is not known. The destroyer was not so far from the European coast as was indicated by the first dis patches.
 Gunner Harry R. Hood, Atlanta, Ga, was killed by the explosion of the torpedo. Ensign $. F. Kalk, whose name was not in the roster of of ficers published yesterday, died of ex- posture. His next of kin is his mother, Mrs. Flora s. Kalk, 127 N. 24th street, Omaha, Neb.
 Twenty seven additional names of survivors have been received, bring ing the total saved up to A, in- elusive of the man taken prisoner hy the submarine"
 Following are names of survivors cabled by Admiral Sims today in ad- dition to the list previously pub lished:
 Quartermaster Howard [. Chase; Boatswain's Mate Charles Charles worth and Harry Louis Gibson: Gun ner's Mate Charles Clifton and Con ard Streeb: Chief Yeoman Joseph Arthur Cossairt; Chief Electrician Clifford Vernon Deforest; Electricians
  and Terrell Read Wood; Seamen Harold William Aagaard. Philip Jacob Burger. Gustave Eulitz, Jr i; lace F'enton, Henry Joseph Maletz and Donat Marchant; Bremen David Roy Carter and Patrick Henry Judge; Mess Attendant Restituto Echon Carpenters Mate. William Penn Hughes; Hospital Attendant Ernest H. Pennington. Water Tender Edward Meier; Apprentice Seaman Lawrence | Hansen.
 The following survivors were not in the list of enlisted personnel given out yesterday;
 Seaman Chester B. Lanen. ad dress not given.
 Fireman Howard A. Mover, White haven, Pa.
 Fireman Charles A. Mason, West | Lynn. Mass.
 Officials entertain little hope that more survivors will be found alive | The bitter cold makes it impossible | that those who may have escaped | and floated about on rafts or wreck age through the night could have | survived.
 The report indicates that the craft stumbled into the path of the submarine by unlucky chance anC that the torpedo went home in sucf \ a vital spot that the vessel was sinking even as the flare of tht explosion died out. Night was a | hand. There was no time to mak, provision against the cold and tn, sea as the crew leaped to the lift rafts. Many probably had died witt Gunner Hood in the explosion.
 The U-boat commander made sur before he exposed his craft that tn destroyer had gone down. He tool no chances of last shot from he guns which might send him and hi vessel also to their reckoning Prob ably the single man saved by tn submarine was taken aboard be cause the submarine officer desire information as to the identity 0 the vessel he had sunk.
 The vicinity of the tragedy wa not safe place for the U-boat. Tn fact that the Jacob Jones was sun closer in shore than the 400 to 50 miles indicated in first dispatche from Admiral Sims added to tn probability of nearby assistance.
 Secretary Daniels showed plainl the relief that come with word tha his brother-in-la law, Lieutenant Com mander Bagley, was among tn 1 saved, but he evidently was deepl moved by this greatest loss tn navy has suffered so far in the wa
 The three additional names of CT listed men of the Jones' crew con tained in today's messages as SUI vivors showed the difficulty of th task of determining quickly ju.
 how many lives were lost. The were not on the muster roll of u
 ship last received by the navy dt
 partment. Probably Admiral Sin
 IS having difficulty in determinir
 just who were aboard. Ensign Kal , was an additional officer, perhaJ ! assigned only for the trip. It wi take checking up at the base
 make up this new addition to- u
 navy's roll of honor
