u. S. TRANSPORT SUNK
Tuscania With Soldiers for France
Sunk by Submarine off Irish
Coast

Washington, Feb. "A troop ship,
the Tuscania, with 2I7o American SOL
diers aboard, has been torpedoed with
the probable loss of 145 lives.
From out of the war zone, 5000
miles away, this news today brought
sharply before America the grim re-
alizaton that Germany at last has
struck successfully at this country's
transport service. 1t marked the
opening of the long-expected U-boat
drive against the increasing lines of
United States troops being sent to
the French front-and Germany's
greatest stroke of the war against this
country. "a,
The Tuscania, British Cunarder,
pressed into transport service for the
American War Department, carried
scattered units of headquarters and
Companies D, Z and f of the Twen-
tieth Engineers, One Hundred and
Seventh Military police, One Hum
dred and Seventh Supply train, One
Hundredth, One Hundred and Fifty
-tighth and Two Hundred and Thir-
tcenth Aero Squadrons and replace
ment detachments and 81 unassigned
officers, Thirty-second division.
The last included Michigan and
Wisconsin National Gllardsmen and
regular army engineers.
To the absence of confusion and
the fact that the vessel remained
afloat for about two hours in calm
sea is attributed the small loss of life.
The Tuscania was part of large
convoy, so that immediate relief was
at hand.
While one of the conveying de-
stroyers went after the submarine and
it is thought it was destroyed by
depth bombs, the remainder stood by
and took the men off the sinking
transport. There were several men
from pneumonia and one of
typhoid fever aboard but they we're
removed without harm and were af-
terward landed apparently none the
vUrsc for their adventure.
