Red Cross RuSheS Aid
To Belfast for Soldiers

LONDON, Feb. THE American
Red Cross headquarters here dispatched
Captain Edgar ii. Wells and Captain
Smith to Belfast Immediately news of
the torpedoing of the Tuscania was re-
ceived. They were instructed to spend
all money needed for supplies for the
survivors. A telegram also was sent
to the American consulate at Belfast
asking that money and supplies for inn
mediate needs be provided.
The British Red Cross, which has
depots in Ireland, Immediately placed
all it's resources at the disposal of the
Americans and instructed it's represent
tatives to do anything possible to help.
Ambassador Page received from the
lord mayor of Belfast a telegram ex-
pressing condolences.

and many other officials. remained up
late for more details but only the terse
war and state department messages
came through until the list of survivors
began to arrive from the American army
headquarters in London early today
The state departments dispatch said
Ambassador Page had sent two army or
ficers to Belfast and representatives OF
the American Red Cross and the Y. M.
c. A. had gone with full power to spend
all the money needed in the relief.
Although the American transport An
titles was torpedoed and sunk in the war
zone while returning from France and
fourteen soldiers and 1876 others were
lost, the Tuscania is the first ship car
rying American troops to Europe to be
sunk by submarine. American warships,
conveying transports last June, twice
fought off submarine attacks and since
then there have been no reports of at
lacks on ships carrying American troops
to France.
The Tuscania until last fall had been
in the transatlantic trade but the sink
ing indicates that she recently has been
engaged in transporting American
troops. She carried a British crew and
a British armed naval guard and was
conveyed by British warships. The use
of British ships TO carry American
troops has been limited at recently in
Cnection with decision of the supreme
war council to make every effort to in
crease General Pershings army.
Navy department officials have be-
lieved that the Germans might concen-
trate their submarines on ships trans
porting American troops and the recall
of many submarines to their bases re-
Gently was interpreted as preliminary to
such campaign. Despite the most care
full plans, navy men say, there is al
ways a chance of a troop ship stumbling
upon a submarine, and the general belief
here is that this is what happened off
