LONDON, Oct 12-More than $50
American soldiers were lost on the
transport Otranto, sunk in collision with
the steamer Kashmir off the South
Scottosh coast This developed from
checking the Otranto s list at American
army headquarters, where it was found
the death toll of soldiers stood at 364
or 800. More than 200 bodies had been
recovered up to this morning. Many of
these were given burial by party sent
from Liverpool
The Otranto and the other vessels
of the convoy were battling with the
heavy seas and high winds Sunday
morning. The storm was SO severe and
the visibility so poor that the Kashmir,
| formerly Peninsular and Oriental
| liner, crashed into the Otranto square
| ly amidships.
The Kashmir backed away severely
damaged, but was able to make port.
As the bows of the kashmir were
pulled from the great hole in the side
of the Otranto the water rushed IN, but
| for a time it did not stop the engines.
The Otranto tried to proceed, but made
no headway against the gale in her
crippled condition.
Within short time the water put
out her fires and the Otranto drifted
helplessly toward the rocky coast OF
Islay island, where most of the Tus'
cania victims met their death.
Three hundred and one men were
taken to Belfast by the British destroy
er Moumsey the only vessel which made
an attempt at rescue in the terrific gale
when the Kashmir, another vessel in the
convoy with the Otranto, rammed the
Otranto amidships.
The Otranto struck the rocks Sun
, day night south of Saligo bay, lslay
island, an uninhabited section where the
lcoastline in many places rises straigh
out of the water to the rocky peak
many feet above.
As the destroyer neared the side o
the Otranto the men began to Juml
from 30 to 40 feet from her decks. TIL
more experienced sailors of the crev
of the steamer had better success thar
the soldiers, many of whom had neve
seen the sea until this trip.
As the destroyer steered toward tn
side of the steamer many of the me-

AN IRISH PORT, Oct. 12.-American
soldiers, to the number of 1854 or 366,
perished when the British armed mercan-
tile trader Otranto and the transport
kashmir collided in North channel be-
tween Scotland and Ireland last Sunday.
Three hundred American soldiers and 81
sailors and 266 members of the crew of
the Otranto have been landed at north
Ireland ports and l6 others were picked
up at Islay.
The troop ships collided while heavy
storm was raging and the 0tranto, with
a gaping hole in her side, drifted help
lessly for the rocky coast. Many of the
men saved themselves by jumping to the
deck of the small destroyer Mounsey,
which came alongside. but others. many
of whom were from the interior of the
United States and without experience at
sea, stuck to the ship in the hope of
reaching land. The ships had struck
about mile from shore and on the cliff
stood a group of islanders eager to send
aid, but this was impossible even to at
| tempt.
| Scores OF men began to jump and
many were hurled by the waves against
| the side of the ship. About noon the
0tranto was lifted on the crest of a high
comber and dashed back to the rocks so
violently that the vessel broke squarely
in two. The masts dropped off, killing
men as they fell. One section of the
hulk turned sidewise, emptying all hand>
still clinging to the deck into the boiling
surf. Wreckage made it impossible foI
| the men to swim ashore.

WILL GIVE COMFORT KITS.

Because of limited room on the
transports the Army has now barred
comfort kits from the personal bag
gage of soldiers. However, since
these have furnished such real
comfort and pleasure to our boys,
the American Red Cross is arranging
for as large freight shipments Of these
as possible to be distributed through
its Foreign Commissions. For these
have made universal appeal. One big
burly soldier boy was as pleased as
punch over some simple puzzle THAI
had been slipped into the bag he drew.
Still another instance is told Of a
soldier boy who came from the trench
covered with CRIME and dirt and with
not even as much as toothbrush In
his possession. When he was handed
a comfort kit with comb, brush and
even toothbrush his joy knew no
bounds, and he Immediately made a
mental allotment from his next pay
day to 60 to the American Red Cross,
which had proved his friend In his
hour of need.

HOLD TOUR STAMPS

There seems to bea disposition

dispose Of their war saving stamps.
They insist that the war is over and
that the government needs the
money no longer.
This is a mistaken idea and mis-
conception of the purpose for
which the little bonds were issued.
The government insists that you
hold these stamps.
Hold them because even though
the war may be over, it has not
yet been paid for. The Treasury
Department must soon issue more
bonds. Every sale Of bonds or
collection now made of stamps by
you make future government Issue
more difficult and more expensive.
This expense can be borne only by
the people Of the United States,
therefore. why add to the already
large burden.
Hold them because the time may
come when such an investment will
prove to be a true friend in time
of need, a guarantee against the
fear of death and insurance against
real hardship.
Hold them because the need for
saving is not over. Government
expenses are today larger than at
any time during the war. Our
boys in France and Germany must
still be paid and fed and clothed,
and when their work is over,

RED CROSS WEEK

The Red Cross has, through the
generosity of the people, been
able TO carry on, both at home and
abroad, tremendous work for
humanity. Especially since Amer
lea entered the war this organiza-
tion has never failed to answer a
call of distress, no matter what or
where or how that call may come,
Last Sunday there was set
under way the Red Cross Christ
mas Roll Call, a one weeks cam
paign for universal membership,
with the desire of enrolling every
man and woman in the nation in
this organization. This is a call
for members, and it only requires
a willing heart and a dollar.
Inc he'd cross has done much
toward helping the war, aud until
actual peace has come and the SOL
der boys are returned home, there
can be no relaxation in any Red
Cross effort incident to war condi-
tions.
With peace restored there will
still be work for the organization
to do. Thousands of the boys will
be sick or wounded and need at
tention. and more than year will
pass away before all the boys will
be with loved ones at home, where
they can be properly cared for.
The Red Cross will be with them
wherever they are, and you should
have a part in it. Give the organ
ization your name and dollar.

Peace and Victory

For America there remains her
wealth, her abundant food and
fertile land and her returning
soldiers and dearly loved ones!
God rest. the souls of those
whose graves are cared for today

know sorrow of losing their own
warriors, and whose thoughts
are of the mothers, wives and ma

For America, one short year Of
.rallying, of conservation of her
strength, brain and material re-
sources: a period of realization and
development; months of such ach-
ievement on land, sea and in the

America on the pages of history
through the eternal ages.
But what of France, today and

the blood of her noblest sons, her
fair fields torn and Scared almost
to the point of utter loss as a noble
breast barred to receive the wound
rather than let it pass to another;

ands of blind and crippled soldiers,
unable to resume their former
employment; her homes blasted,
furnishings and live stock gone;
her great lace mills destroyed, ID
which SO many skilled lace makers
made their living, handing down
their knowledge of the dexterous
art from generation to generation;
her scarcity of coal and food; her
bewilderment of grief.

Mr.. Scott, of the Manchester
Guardian, too, regards the presence
OF President Wilson as absolutely
imperative to the success of the
policy which he has declared and
be thus points out the difficulties
which it must encounter: Let
: there be no mistake, he will have
no easy task. Chauvinism is not
dead. imperialism is not dead in
any of the great European coun-
tries, and selfish interest will make
a hard fight against justice and a
larger view Of policy"
Mr.. Gardner, of the News. en-
phasizes the strong hold on the
imagination Of the English mind
which the visit of President Will
son has taken and he defines its
secret thus: THE English mind
saw the dramatic opposition of a
president Of a republicand the Ger
man kaiser the opposition of the
