ANOTHER BIG ONE HIT
Aurania, 13.4OO Cunard Liner, Badly
Damaged by U-Boat.

New York, Feb. THE Cunard
liner Aurania, 13,4O0 tons, was tor
pedoed by a German submarine within
the last forty-eight hours while bound
for the United States, it was learned
from officials of the Cunard line to-
day
Altho badly damaged by the ex-
plosion, the ship was not sunk, and is
believed to be making her way back
to port with the assistance of govern
ment vessels it was said. The ship
carried but little cargo.
Sister Ship Sunk Last Month.
The Au1ania is a sister ship of the
Anchor liner Andania, sunk by a sub
marine last month. She was built in
1915 at Newcastle-on-Tyn in the
same yard where the Mauretania was
constructed The ship was $40 feet
long, 65 beam and had accommoda-
tions for $50 passengers in the cabin
and 1000 steerage.
The Aurania made her first voyage
to this port in April. 1917. She had
not figured in the records of this port
since that time.

RESCUE WORK HEROIC
Convoy Ships Rescued 80 Per Cent of
Men Aboard the Tuscania.

Washington, Feb. THE greatest
and perhaps the most dramatic
rescue work of the war has been ac-
complished in saving American SOL
diers aboard the torpedoed Tuscania,
officials believe.
The picture of destroyers. patrol
boats and hospital ships maneuvering
about the sinking vessel, ski1lfully di-
rected by British naval officers, with
a net saving of 80 per cent of the
threatened lives is one that will reflect
glory in naval history. officials say
Prompt and general cooperation
was offered by British and America ms
on both sea and land, it is said. Red
Cross workers, army officials and civ
-ilians were sent to points where the
survivors landed with instructions to
do everything and spend all the money
necessary to care for the soldiers.

LINER STILL AFLOAT
Admiral Sims Cables SIT Is Believed
Tuscania Yet on Top.

Washington. Feb. IA brief mes
sage from Admiral Sims, at London,
early today said ''it was believed" the
Tuscania was still afloat He men,
toned nothing of a convoy, but navy
officials said either American or Brit
ish destroyers had conveyed her.
Other Ships Carried Americans.
London, Feb. THE transport
TuScania foated for several hours
after she was torpedoed in Irish
waters Tuesday, it was learned today.
1t was stated that Americans aboard
other vessels witnessed the torpedo
ing"
The fact that the Tuscania remained
af1oat for a considerable period after
the attack is believed to account for
the large number of lives saved.
Reference to Americans aboard
other vessels witnessing the torpedo
ing might indicate that the Tuscania
either was conveyed by American
warships or was one of an armada of
transports carrying American troops.

WAR CATASTROPHE ONLY
TENDS To UNITE AMERICA

Washington, Feb. 7.-Secretary
Baker issued the following state
ment today regarding the fresh
blow by the common enemy:
"The sinking of the Tuscania
brings us face to face with the
losses of war in its most relentless
form 1t is a fresh challenge to the
civilized world by an adversary
who has refined. but made more
deadly the stealth of the savage in
warfare We must win this war
and we will win this war Losses
like this unite the country in SYM
oathy with the families of those
who have suffered loss; they also
unite US to make more determined
our purpose to press on.
LAS rapidly as details come in
they will be given to the public in

sible and notice will be sent as
promptly as possible to those whose
sons and brothers have been added

of whom by that time had reached
$50, including forty members of the
crew.
All the medical men at Larne. on
the eastern coast of Ireland where
some of the survivors were landed,
were requisitioned
Forty of the survivors were taken
to hospitals. In the majority of cases
they are suffering from injuries as a
result of accidents in the lowering OF
life boats or in consequence of slid
ing down ropes. The survivors are
proud of the behavior of the only two
women on the Tuscania. They went
down rope in fine style, laughing.
Women volunteer nurses at Larne
attended to- slightly injured men.
Wards were improvised in hotels.
Thirty seriously injured lmen were
dispatched to local hospitals, where
! they are receiving careful treatment.
The resources of Larne were taxed to
the utmost to provide food and cloth
ing for the survivors. One of the
men who swan about for two hours
before he was rescued, jokingly said
he had had enough swimming to sat
iSfy him for the rest of his life. .
Within Sight of Land.
There was sufficient time for re-
moval of all those on board the Tus-
cania as she remained afloat for about
two hours after being torpedoed.
s,rhe Tuscania was one of convoy
of troop and provision ships which
after long voyage across the Atlantic
was entering what until recently were
considered comparatively safe waters.
The ships were within sight of land.
