267 SOLDIERS
ARE LOST.

Washington. Feb: 13.-With 164
American soldiers Of the Tuscania
known to be dead and buried on the
scottish coast. an unofficial estimate
today places the total loss of Ameri-
can troops at 267. After eliminat-
of the survivors and the identified
dead and accounting for 80 unidenti-
fed dead, 1856 soldiers still are not ac-
counted for and it is believed they
we're lost. .a s.
The partial list of the Tvscania's 3,
dead. sent. by the AssociatedS I Press
correspondent from a Scottish seaport
today as having been buried ON the
Scottish coast, is the first definite in
soldiers who have not been reported
in the lists of survivors War de-
partment officials have been helpless
to answer appeals for information re-
garding soldiers unreported.
or the 164 American dead who have
been buried in Scotland it was not
possible to identify 33 Of the soldiers
who undoubtedly were disfgured be-
yond recognition and had nothing on
them by which to determine who
they We're. OF the names of the 131
soldiers sent from Scotland only 122
have been definitely located on the list
compiled by the Associated Press of
men whose names appeared on the
passenger list but who have not been
reported as survivors. Six Of the 131
names show similarity with others on
the missing list but three Of them
show no similarity. Only 1872 of the
131 names therefore have been check
ed off, leaving 178 names to be
definitely accounted for. Deducting
the SO unidentified American soldiers
and the nine uncertain names from
this list leaves 1876 missing. which
added to the 131 known dead, show
the total loss 267 men.

LOAN TO GO OVER TOP
County Allotment Will Be Fully Met
In All Districts.

Reports from a number of districts
show that the county will go yer the
top in it's Liberty Loan subscriptions.
Practically all counties have re-
ported and at present ~$1,632,000 Of
the $1,700, 900 allotment has been ac-
counted for. A number of township
reports show that they have already
gone above their allotment and sub
scriptions are still coming in. .
Investigations of cases Of persons
who have not made subscriptions to
the loan were made yesterday by
Frank K. Stuart, director of investi-
cation of Minneapolis, in this city.
Investigations will be made in indi-
vidual cases to determine the reason
for not subscribing. The committee,
however, says hat these instances are
gratifyingly few.
The Marvel district is reported by
Dave Nelson, chairman, as nearly over
the top and hat by Saturday it would
be entirely over All of the Larimore
district except Moraine township has
reported and has $132.600 of a $140,-
900 quota. Thompson, the first dis
trict to go over, is still receiving sub
scriptions. Reynolds shows $105, 000
of a 100000 quota. Brenna township
is also nearly over and general county
conditions are fine.

COAST FOOTBALL
SITUATION IS
VERY UNSETTLED
Other Sections of Country
Are in Better Condition
Than Coast States.

San Francisco. Cal, Oct. 1s.-The
football situation on the Pacific coast
is, If anything, in. a more unsettled
condition than it is in other sections
Of the country. While the middle
west and the east have to a certain
extent adopted definite tentative
schedules of games. the Pacific coast
conference has nothing Of this kind.
The schedule as it was prepared by
conference officials last winter, has
been abandoned and individual COL
leges are arranging such matches as
they are able to pick up here and
there.
From present indications, the ma
jority of contests will be played be-
tween service teams of the army and
navy, of which there are several. In
tercollegiate contests are likely to be
few and far between. Prospects for
inter-sectional collegiate games would
seem to be exceedingly remote. For
northwestern teams to compete with
those from California mea a long
journey which is contrary to the rul-
ing of government authorities who op-
pose the use Of so much time and
money for travelling.
: With the colleges being utilized as
schools of instruction by the war and
stitutionS is likely to have one or more
service teams.
In no sense will these represent
their institutions. An effort is being
made in some places to organize COL
lege teams but indications are that
these are not meeting with much sue
cess for the a that virtually all
of the good material has been alb
sorbed by the service, teams.

Is BARRED,

Crowley, for three years All-North-
western interscholastiG tackle, is bar
red from playing football in the Rocky
Mountain conference this season
through the loss of three fingers.
Several years ago the explosion of
a dynamite cap tore the fingers from
Crowley's left hand and because of
this he was unable to enter the stu
dents army training corps when he
enrolled at Colorado agricultural col
lege this fall. AS the freshman rule
was suspended only for members of
the corps, he cannot play this season.
Crowley formerly captained the
Butte, Mont, high school team. He is
also a crack basketball forward.
