 Number Considered Small
 With more than 800OO0 soldiers sent over seas, officials pointed to the small number, 291, lost through operations of German submarines as showing the effectiveness of the convoy system. The men lost were on the torpedoed British steamers Tuscania and Mol david. The former was taking troops from America to England and the lat ter from England to France.
 The comparatively small number of men dying from Wounds is pointed 10 as indicating the efficiency of the am bUlance and hospital systems, while the fact that only l,234 men have died of disease is accepted as proof of the ex- cellent physical condition of Americas S fighting men.
 Wounded Return to Duty Another satisfying consideration is that of the wounded men, a very high percentage of whom return to duty at the front in less than six weeks. List for the Day
