Trade vas rather slow in getting

as fully a dime lower, but when &C

ARE WELL PROVIDED FOR
U. S. Survivors From Tuscania
In British Camps.
remmies Share Clothes With Those
Unprctectsd--ofncers Are
Hardest Hit.

Londonderry. Feb. 12.-All the
exception of about 100 sick and in
iured and a party of 142 who landed
In Scotland. all the American sur
vivors from the Tuscania are quar-.
tered In two military camps.
The news had spread through the
countryside that the Americans we're
coming In special trains, and at each
little railway station groups of farm
or folk had gathered to catch a
glimpse Of the troops. Scottish
troops piped the Americans from the
railway to the camps.
A complete issue of clothing was
made to each officer and private. The
outfits came from British stores.
At n camp there we're not enough
o~vercoats, so the British Tommies
gladly took of the coats they were
wearing and put them on the Amer.
leans.
Lose Their Funds.
The one thing most appreciated by
the men was q visit from Miss Jean
Ogilvie, q member OF the Red Cross
from New York. She was the first
American woman they had seen since
leaving the United States. Two.
thirds Of the men lost all OF their
funds. A few carried money belts
and saved their money, which they
promptly divided.
The American officers were hit
hardest. All lost their kits and the
larger part Of their uniforms, which
unlike the privates. they must obtain
1T their own expense.
At the camps the American of
ncers were received In the British
officers mAss In the heartiest fashion
One OF the first things the Tom
mics did was TO put on a show fol
them. Then all hands joined In
singing some Of the latest American
ragtime pieces.

She will be without convoy at any

will be made of the efficacy of her
