Washington, Feb. 6.-The Cunrac
liner Tuscania, carrying 2,173 Amer:
lean soldiers, has been torpedoed and
sunk off the Irish coast, but official re-
ports late tonight said 1912 of the
officers and men had been saved, and
indicated that the list of rescued
might prove even larger. The troops
composed chiefly Of detachments OF
Michigan and Wisconsin national
guardsmen, were travelling on the
Tuscania, British vessels, under
convoy of British warships.
A brief dispatch from London to
the war department early this eve
ming announced the disaster and re-
ported the landing of only 1,10O sur
vivors. This was made public short
ly after 10 o'clock and for more than
two hours it was feared that probably
1,400 men, including members Of the
liners crew had gone down.
Occurred Early in Morning
When a message came to the state
department from the embassy at Lon
don saying at II o'clock tonight that
1912 of the Americans had been ac-
counted for, the joy of the officials
almost swept away the distress oc-
casioned by the earlier news. The
first LOO survivors were landed at
Larne and Buncrana, two widely sep
arate Irish ports, and this, coupled
with the evident fact that rescue ships
were at hand quickly, gave rise to
hope that nearly everybody on board
the Tuscania except those injured by
the explosion, might have been saved.
The president, Secretary Baker, and in
fact all official Washington were up
late waiting for further news. Only
the briefest dispatches were received,
and none gave details Of the attack
on the liner. Even the time was miss
ing, but it was assumed that it occur
red early this morning, as the first
message was filed at London, at 8
o'clock this afternoon, probably with
in an hour after the relief ships reach
ed the Irish coast.
The president was at a theater
when the news was received and he
was not told until he returned to the
White House. In the meantime the
war, navy and state department had
sent urgent messages by wireless and
cable instructing their representatives
in England and Ireland to forward
every available fact Immediately.

Gettysburg Speech Called
Marvel Of Poetic Splendor

Lincoln's undying Gettysburg adj
dress has been put into the new poetic
style by DR.. Marion Mills Miller, who
finds that "the speech is as perfect
a poem as ever written, and even in
the minor qualities Of artistic Ian
guage-rhythm and cadence, phone
tic euphony, rhetorical sympilism,
i and that subtle "Reminiscences of a
great literary and spiritual inherit
lance, the Bible, which stands to US
as Homer did to the ancients-it ex-
GELS the finest gem to be found in
poetic cabinets from the Greek an
thology downward" DR.. Miller's in
teresting "poetic" presentation of the
address follows: !
Fourscore and seven years ago E
Our fathers brought forth on this
continent
A new nation,
Conceived in liberty,
And dedicated to the proposition
That all men are created equal. -
Now we are engaged in great civil
war,
/ Testing whether that nation, "s@
Or any nation so conceived and so ded-
icated,
Can long endure. MI
We are met on great battlefield of
that war,
We have come to dedicate a portion
of that field
AS final resting place
For those who here gave their lives
That that nation might live.
1t is altogether fitting and proper
That we should do this.
But, in larger sense, &
We can not dedicate .s,

We can not hallow- ,

It is for us, the living, rather ~
To be dedicated here to the unfinished
work ~
Which they who fought here have so
nobly advanced.
It is rather for US to be here dedi-
Gated
To the great task remaining before
That from these honored dead
We take increased devotion to that
cause 49,
For which they gave the last full
measure of devotion; ~"
That we here highly resolve -
That these dead shall not have died in
vain;
That this nation, under God, ,%2a
Shall have a new birth of freedom;
And that government of the people,
By the people, and for the people
Shall not perish from the earth.
