GAINS MANY NEW MEMBERS
Red Cross Adds Approximately IT, 5o0,ooO in the Recent Big
 Drive.

Washington, D. C., Feb. S.-Figures now available on the Red Cross Christmas membership drive show q total enrolment of 23,475,000, or p per cent of the population of the United States.
 Of this total the Red Cross had about 6,000,000 members before the Christmas drive started, so that the gain from the drive was approximate ly 17,500,000 new members. The cen tral division, of which Chicago is the headuarters, leads the other twelve divisions of the country in the num- Der of new members enrolled Christ mas week.
 By divisions, the gains were as fol- lows: Atlantic, 2,S00,000; Central, $500 900; Gulf 3S4.000; Lake, 2,300,- O00 Mountain, 276,0OO; New England, 670,000; Northern, 65S,00O; Northwest ern, G93,OO0; Pacific, 32700o; Penn sylvania, 100000; Potomac, 250,000: Southern, 37O,00O; Southwestern, g. 250, ,000.
  prising all of the territorial insular and foreign possessions of the United States the new members added mum Der 4S,000.
 Approximately unfavorabIe weath. CT prevailed during the drive so that the showing is considered exception ally good. Final figures are not ex- pected to change the foregoing esti- mates to any considerable extent
 One of the chief benfits anticipated from the enlarged membership is the addition of thousands of active work CTS to Red Cross chapters where sup plies are being prepared for our army and navy and the military forces and civilian populations of the allies.

1887 U. s. TROOPS
 ON 1ORPED0ED SHIP
SURVIVORS NUMBERING 2,296 ARE LANDED AT PORTS IN
 IRELAND.

Washington, D. G.-The British steamship Tuscania, with 2,397 Unit ed States soldiers on board, has been torpedoed and sunk in the War zone, Two thousand, two hundred and nine ty six survivors have been landed at Buncranna and Larne, Ireland.
 The disaster was officially announc- ed by the War Department, which had received only meager advices, without names of survivors or victims.
 Although still hoping for more faY- orable news, officials feared that the report meant that all except 2,296 landed had been lost.
 It was announced that the Fusea- mia was manned by British sailors, with a British naval guard, and Was conveyed by British warships.
 The War Department issued this statement:
 "The War Department has been of ficially advised that the steamship Tuscania was torpedoed and sunk anG that survivors numbering 2,296, as far as could be ascertained, were land ed at Buncranna and Larne, in Ire land There was a total of 2,397 Unit ed States troops on this vessel.
 ''No names of persons lost has been reported to the War Department and no names of survivors reported. Ad- ditional particulars are promised as soon as received"
 The Tuscania was a British passen- ger and freight steamship of 14,3f8 tons gross register. She was built at Glasgow in 1914 and was owned by the Anchor Line.
 The last report of the Tuscan1a was her arrival at an Atlantic port, January 17, last
 The Tusconia, during her days as passengerNliner, was one of the best equipped vessels in the transatlantic service. She made her maiden voy- age in February, 1915, and for a time was in the service of the British ad- miralty, but later was restored to her owners for regular service.
 She was 567 feet long, with 66-  2,500 passengers in cabin and steer age accommodations. The ship had twin screws and speed of about IS knots. On several occasions since the war began she was the object of torpedo attack, but managed to escape through her speed, assisted by de- fense guns.
 Buncranna, at which survivors from the Tuscania were landed, is located on Lough Swilly, on the northern coast of Ireland, 12 miles from Lon donderry. Lough Swilly is d long, narrow bay running in from the At lantic Ocean,
 Larne, where other survivors were landed from the vessel, is on the northeast coast of Ireland, 23 miles from Belfest. It is north channel port The approximate distance by water between the two ports is 100 miles,

CONTINUE TO FIGHT
 FUR A JUST PEACE
PRESIDENT REPLIES TO PEACE PROPOSALS OF THE GEN.
 TRAIL POWERS.
WILSON WARMLY RECEIVED
Diplomats Are Watching With Keen Interest "Extra Official Neeotia- tio7s" Which Depart So Rapidly
 From All Ancient Diplomacy.

Washington.-Pre Wilson ad- dressed Congress to clear the atmos- phere of any confusion resulting from the recent speeches on peace terms by the German chancellor and the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister. He repeated that until the military masters of Germany are ready to con- sider peace on principles of justice. the United States will continue the fight it is just beginning for the safe ty of itself and mankind.
 In the speech of Count von Hert ling, the German chancellor, the pres ident found no approach to peace, but rather a proposal to end the war on German terms and to set up a league of nations to maintain the balance of power thus established. Count Czer- min, the Austrian spokesman, the president said, employed very friendly tone, seemed to see the fun- damental elements of peace and prob ably would have gone much further had it not been for Austria's alliances and her dependence upon Germany.
 Members of Congress consider the address a notice to the central pow CTS that the United States cannot be turned aside from the object for which it is fighting and warning to Congress and the American people that the task of sending the nations fighting men to the front must not be interfered with by equivocal and mis- leading utterances of Teutonic states men. The president was warmly re- ceived and cheered as he concluded and leaders without respect to party expressed hearty approval of his words.
 Diplomats are watching with keen interest extra official negotiations" which depart so radically from all of the ancient and accepted practices of diplomacy. They say that peace ne- gotiations on a great scale are going on, only instead of being conducted in the secrecy of the round tahie conference, which was the aim of the Central powers in the early stages of the war, the great war issues now are being eXpounded and critically analysed in the light of publicity and the worlds forum.
 President Wilson seemed to recog- nize and call attention to that fact when he inquired; "Is Count von Hertling not aware that he is speak ing in the court of mankind that all the awakened nations of the world now sit in judgment on what every public man of whatever nation may say on the issues of the conflict which has spread to every region of the world?"
 AS in the past, the presidents speech was promptly cabled to all the principal capitals of the world for tel egraphic distribution.

A few mo. ments after he left the house they ex- ploded. His hands and face were bad ly burned by the explosion.

SOUTHS' GENTLEMEN ARE BEHIND WILSON
THE CONVENTION VIGOROUSLY cHEERED PRESIDENT AND
 FOOD ADMINISTRATOR.
SMOKER FOR DELEGATES
Cattle Men Are Urged To Bend Every Effort to Conserve Available Sup ply of Beef and Dairy Cattle and
 Increase in Production.

llllllc ItOCh-
 The second days session of the Southern Cattle Mems Association brought number of additional cattle men to Little Rock and the session was very largely attended The dele gates clearly demonstrated that they , were in hearty sympathy with the ad- ministration in it's conduct of the war
 The president and Food Administra- tor Hoover were vigorously cheered by the convention when their names were mentioned by the speakers One of the important addresses was by Melvin Green, representing the nation al food administration, in the place of Dr. Charles Mccarthy, who was un- able to attend
 MT Green brought personal mes- sage to the cattlemen from Herbert Hoover. The food administrator urg- ed that tho cattle men bend every ef- fort to conserve the available supply of beef and dairy cattle, and that the production be increased to great extent
 "Government Regulation of Live Stock Prices" was the subject of MT. Greens address.
 Mir. Green dwelt at length on the methods employed by the allied na- tions in making purchases of supplies in the United States. Prior to De- cember 1, 1917, he said, all of the nations made their purchases individ- ually, and in competition witIi one an- other and the American buyer. Now, however, the matter is handled by the food administration, with the result that the market is not subjected to the shoe kof having these big buyers bidding over one another for the food stuffs on hand. This has resulted in steadying the market and the Ameri- can buyer and consumer are enjoying the benefit.
 "The food administration urges the stock raisers of the South," he con- tinued ito raise more and heavier hogs. It also urges those who do not new raise hogs to buy one or two and help out in a small manner. We do not expect any one to buy more hogs, or to attempt to raise more than they can care for," he said.
 George M. Rommell, chief of tho beef division, bureau of animal indus try, followed Mir Green, who spoke on Beef Types
 A. J. Glover of Hoard's Dairyman staff addressed the convention on "The Management of the Dairy Farm" He said Senator LaFollette did not represent the loyal citizenship of the state and that when the final roll is called in France the state of Wisconsin would be there strong. "The Future of the Cattle Breedine Industry, was the subject of an ad dress by Frank B. Hastings, manager of the s. M. S. ranch at Stamford, Texas. He declared that the cattle raisers' association of Texas was one of the biggest factors in the food con- servation movement in the South.
 A smoker for the Hereford breed CTS was held at the Hotel Marion. Secretary R. J. Knizer of the Ameri- can Hereford Breeders Association was the chief speaker.
