Probable Toll Of 145 Men


WASHINGTON, Feb. Germany S
sub-sea attack on the transport liner
Tuscania has netted a probable toll OF
145 United States officers and sol
diers and sixty-fve others.
According TO official and unofficial
reports compiled here the total miss
ing from the L boat thrust Tuesday
is 210 with 2.1S7 saved.
AS the casualty list dwindled dur
ing the morning hours, hope was held
out that later reports from isolated
points on the Irish and Scottish coast
will show even more rescued.
The shock OF the tragedy left its
mark on official Washington today.
Secretary OF War Baker issued a
statement to comfort those whose
sons and brothers have been ADDED to
the nations heroic dead"
Meantime the purpose of the war
relentlessly to repay Germany for
her stealthy thrust at Americas men
was strongly avowed.
eve must and We will win this
war" Secretary Baker declared.
The sentiment was echoed in the
navy department, all other depart
ments OF the government which were
| going ahead full steam, and congress.
! Leading senators called upon the
citizens OF the United States for re-
doubled efforts to defeat the Ger
mans.
| Although it comes as a terrific
/ blow, ii was a calamity which might
! be expected during the course of the
war" said Senator Chamberlain,
1! chairman Of the senate military at
| fairs committee. my sympathy goes
out to the parents of the splendid
/ American boys who were on their
way to France to fight for the liberty
Of the world.
I'VE must take this as part OF
the grim business of war; declared
Senator Penrose of the senate naval
affairs committee. 1T should impress
upon US the necessity for speeding UP
our airplane program and other means
! of fighting U boats. That they have
struck this blow is 10 reason why we
should lose hope. 1t should only
strengthen U.s."
But there was a sharp rebound
from the shock when naval officers
declared that revenge is certain. In
the past three months British and
American patrols, they said, have
sunk u boats faster than they have
been built. New anti-submarine work
by the Americans, they added. is
proving hopefully successful"
