London, Feb. Flew events of the war in the past few months have stirred the English people more deeply than the disaster to American troops approaching British port on a Brit ish transport Such an eventuality had been feared. The first news, be- fore the landing of the survivors at diff ferent ports became known, caused the belief that there was a heavy toll in lives, running into hundreds, and per hans more than a thousand. All the known circumstances impressed the public with the feeling that the great est sea tragedy in Atlantic waters since the sinking of the Lusitania and perhaps greater loss of life, had oc- cured. The latest bulletins tonight, however, indicating that the casualties may be 100, or even less, has caused a distinct relief from the tension.
 There is no surprise over the incl dent, the only cause for wonder is that of the hundreds of troop laden transports which have crossed the At lantic in the past three years and more, the same fate has not befallen others. The record as a whole is con sidered by seamen most creditable to the British mercantile and naval serv- ices.

NO EARLY RELIEF
 IN SIGHT FOR
 ROADS 0F EAST

Washington, Feb. 7.-- Sudden thaw- ing weather today brought prospects of unexpected relief to railroads of the blizzard stricken East. They could not recover instantly from the bitter cold of the past days, however. and coal transportation, accordingly, still was far below normal.
 The fuel administration again had under consideration the abandonment of fullness Mondays after next week, but today's report did not add much to the hopes that tho industrial sus- pension order might be recinded. It was pointed out that it would be sev- eral days before any decision could be reached on the effect of warmer weather on railroads.
 Reports to the railroad and fuel ad- ministrations said it would take a week of moderate weather to restore even the same degree of order that prevailed last week. Labor, however, was more plentiful today.

Washington, Feb. 7.-Much satisfac- tion is found by officials here in the unofficial accounts of the destruction of the British liner Tuscania by a German submarine, which show that d destroyer, presumably British, gave chase to the raider and possibly sunk her with a depth bomb No details of the attack had come tonight from official sources. They are awaited eagerly.
 Sorrow over the first loss of trans port laden with American troops is tempered by the growing total of sur vivors, and the dominant emotion among army and navy men now is the desire to strike back. Navy off cials see no reason to change their opinion that the submarine menace is being overcome. The Tuscania incl dent is regarded as an isolated case.
 Around the navy department there was renewed talk tonight of ''bottling the submarines" Many officers be- lieve that a way can be found to hold the Uboats within narrow limits and keep the rest of the seas free, except for occasional raiders which might slip thru. There is no doubt that plans to this end have been given great study both here and abroad.
 U-Boats Fear U. s. Methods.
 The weight of American anti-sub- marine efforts is yet to be brought to bear. Many devices enter into the bat ties against the U-boats, some of which have been evolved by American inventors; others have been greatly imnroved since the United States en- tered the war, and the detection ap- paratus, now installed on American craft, is so successful that British craft are being similarly equipped There have been indications that the U-boats have learned to fear this ability of American craft to locate them at distance and maneuvre to

Officer and Mate|Of
 Ship Give Stories of Sinking

Londonderry, Ireland, Feb. 7.-The submarine which torpedoed the Tus- cania was attacked by destroyer. An American officer gave an intimation that the submarine was destroyed.
 This officer was next to last to leave the Tuscania. He gave the Associated Press vivid account of the disaster.
 The second torpedo fired by the sub marine missed it's mark, he said Thereupon destroyer which was near the sinking liner dashed off toward the submarine, using bomb dropping de- vice. The claim is made that the sub marine was "done in" by the bombs thus exploded.
 The American officer said:
 "Everything went well with us dur ing the voyage. Many of our men had never been to sea before and l must say they stood it like soldiers.
 "We were one of powerful convoy.
 "I must not tell you of our position in the convoy or how the various ships were formed, but you make take it that all the other boats have got through as far as know. As for our selves. well the Huns succeeded in get tinp onlv fraction of our fine fellows in addition to our boat; but if they have, they have put the iron into our souls and we will be ready to repay them when the chance offers.
 "The first intimation we had of possible danger was an order for all men to go on deck with life belts. It was about 4:3O o'clock. At the same time we sharply altered our course. At six o'clock, just as darkness was setting in well, we got our blow. Mo- body saw the periscope, nor could one have been seen we'll Some soldiers described having heard a hissing sound immediately before the torpedo struck.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1918-02-08

We were instantly disabled. All the lights went out. An order rang out sending the troops to their boat sta tions and to get the life boats out. The shock was not severe. It was more of crunching in feeling that went through the ship than of direct blow. There naturally was good deal of confusion. You cannot lower a score of life boats from the height of an upper deck in the darkness without some confusion, but at no time was there panic"
 Mate Tells of Disaster.
 Thomas Smith, of Glasgow, a boat swain's mate on the Tuscania, said the steamer was proceeding to an English port under convoy.
 "At 5:45 o'clock Tuesday evening"" he continued, ''I was in Number room talking with a fellow boatswain when 1 heard a terrific explosion and felt the vessel keeling over. I said to my mate: They've got her now
 "We commenced lowering boats on the starboard side. The soldiers were lined up on deck waiting for the boats. Unfortunately many jumped over board.
 "I found the boat at Number 9 sta tion, to which I proceeded, had been blown to pieces. I then helped to get boats 9-A, 9-B and 9-C away with full complements and the second off, cer got boats 1 to safely away.
 "After seeing these launched pro- ceeded to the other deck where I launched raft. picked up IA sol diers and two of the ships crew who were swimming about. We had no oars and had to paddle along with our hands. We were picked up at g. some of the survivors were landed Wednes- day morning."

 RATE CASE ENDS
 IN COMPROnIS Memphis and Arkansas Shippers Agree Upon Principal Issues. -,
SETTLEMENT RESTS WITH THE CARRIERS
Agreement Reached By Striking Bal. ance Between Rates Proposed By l.. (. (. and Schedule Prepared
 By Arkansas Commission.

Memphis, Tenn., Feb. 7.-Announce- ment was made here tonight that Mem- phis and Arkansas shippers who have been participating in a hearing before Wilbur LaRoe, representing the inter- state commerce commission, have reached an agreement upon the prin- cipal issues involved in the widely known Memphis rate case, and that a compromise seems certain if the car- riers will agree. This was made known by Edward Haid, chief counsel for the Arkansas shippers interests.
 The agreement as to the rate scale and percentages was reached, it is said, by striking balance between the ten tative scale submitted by MT. LaRoe and one prepared by the Arkansas railroad commission. These rates were not made public.
 It also was stated that Memphis and Arkansas shippers interest and the railroads have agreed that the rates to Southeast Missouri points should be the same as the rates from Memphis, and that branch line rail- roads in Arkansas should have higher rates than the trunk lines traversing that state

RecapltulatiOn of Losses. According to the war departments official report tonight the total mis- sing from the 2,397 persons aboard the liner is 210. The latest dispatch es gave this recapitulation:

 Missing: United States troops, 113; crew and passengers, 97; total, 21O.
 Officials assume that an error in transmission accounted for the dis crepancy in the figures on crew and passengers. The total number of mis- sing among all persons on board, 210, accords with a statement of the British admiralty, issued early in the day, sO the number of passengers and crew survivors should have been IA, instead of Al.
 No Official Story.
 Virtually no story of the sinking of the Tuscania has reached the govern ment thru official channels. Dis patches from the embassy at London and other sources so far have been confined to tersa statements and an nouncements of the number saved. Press accounts, consequently, have been read with more than ordinary interest by everyone.
 Army officers are proud of the way the troops behaved and point to the story of how the, partially trained boys lined up on deck, singing the na- tional airs to await their turns in the boats as evidence of what may be ex- pected of American soldiers.
 To this absence of confusion and the fact that the liner remained afloat for about two hours in calm sea is attributed the small loss of life.
 The Tuscania was part of large convoy, and immediate relief was at hand.
 Interest In U-BOacs Fate.
 There has been no mention in of Ncial messages tonight of reports that conveying destroyer sighted and pursued the submarine that made the attack. The destroyer probably was British, and British admiralty re- ports on the incident will be awaited with the keenest interest.
 On board the liner were engineers. police and replacement de tachments, composed of former Mich igan and Wisconsin National guards men, and three aero sauadrons, one of which was recruited almost en- tirely fin and around New York city. Members of the other squadrons came from nearly every section of the country.

bring the submarine vessel within the range of q depth bomb.
 Deed of Single U-Boat.
 Such details as have come from Eu- rope indicate that the Tuscania was torpedoed by a single submarine which slipped under the advance screen of destroyers leading the convoy fleet. There is no evidence of an attack in force, and the U-boat probably got into the path of the liner largely by chance. Sometimes as many as forty vessels make up convoy fleet.
 War department officials would say nothing today as to the destination of the Tuscania. There is no indication in the loss of the Tuscana that a con centration of submarines against Americas troop ship line has been made; on the contrary the efforts of the German high command still ap- pears to be directed primarily at the cargo ships bound for British ports.
