SAFETY AT SEA

The sinking of the Tuscania and the loss of life ac-
companying that event has brought sorrow into a num-
Der of homes, and it is not unnatural that it should bring
anxiety to many whose friends are likely soon to be
crossing the Atlantic on their way to the battle fields of
Europe. Concern for the safety of those dear to US is
natural. But when all the circumstances are consid cred
it is evident that the outstanding fact in relation to the
transportation Of troops across the ocean is not the loss
OF life, but the marvellous safety of life at sea under the
conditions which have been esta blished.
Since the war began there have been carried in Brit
IS transports ll'ooo,ooo soldiers for long or short voy-
ages. Some of the men have made one trip, and some
many. Many of the trips were those across the channel,
while others were from the very ends of the earth. Men
have been carried by the hundred thousand across the
channel. across the Atlantic from Canada, from Aus
tralia and New Zealand. and from India. The ships
bearing them have sailed the crowded waters adjacent
to the British Isles, all the great oceans, and the sub
marine-infested waters of the Mediterranean, and in the
course Of all these voyages only nine vessels have been
sunk. with a total loss of life of 1000. This is one death
for every $500 men carried, less than one-hftieth Of one
per cent. These facts give color to the statement re-
Gently made that the safest place in the world for a SOL
der is on board a British transport.
During the past few months many Americans haze
also been taken across the ocean under conditions identi-
cal with those which have governed in the TRANSPORT Of
British troops. In fact the protective service has been
improved. for since the entrance Of the United States
into the war American ships have Joined in the work Of
hunting submarines and providing conveys for TRANSPORT
and other shipping.
There can be no guarantee of entire safety while
crossing the ocean. But on the basis Of percentages the
men killed on transports at sea have been about as
numerous proportonately as those struck by lightning
at home. The achievements of the past furnish conclu-
stye evidence that everything that human skill and fore
thought can do to provide protection has been done and
ts being done, and there is not the slightest reason to
beheye that in the future the precautions will be anv less
Effective than they have been in the past

GREAT FLEET OF
BRITAIN rs MADE
GREATER BY WAR

London.-(Corres spondence OF the
Associated Press There is an ell
bow of road above the Firth of
Forth where if one should come to
it in a fortunate hour, ne would see
the Grand fleet the hammer-head
of the British navy.
Mile after mile of great and little
lighting ships, their bugles sound
family across the water to quiet
streets ashore.
1t is four years since the battle
squadrons slipped away to their
war station and the British navy
became suddenly one decisive and
fixed factor in an unstable world.
The supreme task OF the navy has
been to make secure on all the seas
of the world the transportation Of
men, material and food Between
the date of the declaration OF war
and June 30 last, the needs or the
allies have involved the carriage
by sea of some 10000, 900 men. ,
600 900 animals and about 10000
600 tons OF naval and military
stores. cargoes whose vastness and
diversity have never been contem-
rine war intensified and waxed 10
it's greatest violence, yet the great
work OF supply and transportation
went forward with never an inter
ruption.
The navy. which In August 1914,
had comprised warships and auxil-
iary vessels to a total Of two and a
half million displacement tons had
swelled by June of this year to a
sum OF six and a half billions, its
personnel had grown from 10000
TO nearly 10000 OF the twenty
millions of men embarked and
transported the total losses due 10
enemy action up to April p. 1918.
had only reached the relatively
trivial figure of 1882 roughly
equal to one lost for each six thou
sand carried.

Yanks Are Rushed
Abroad Rapidly in
Spite of Epidemic

Washington, Oct. 5-Despite the
epidemic of Spanish influenza en-
barkation of American troops is
being continued at the rate of more
than 250,OOO per month, General
March announced today, the total
embarked to date now having pass
ed the 1,85O,0OO mark The Sep
tember shipments exceeded 250,000,
although cases of influenza in
camps at home exceeded 100, 900
The policy OF the war department
in sending overseas only men who
have not had the disease and who
have not been exposed to it has ne
cessitated material readjustments
OF the shipping schedule but has
not interfered with the total num-
ber embarked.
Summarizing the news for the
Tast week as excellent, General
March said offensives conducted
by the allies on three major Sec
tors had resulted in a forward
movement of the battlefront for
practically the entire stretch from
the North sea to Verdun. General
Gouraud's army just west of the
Argonne forest has fought its way
forward to a point where it also
threatens German communication
lines.
The British drive on Cambria
and ST Quentin, which was aided
by American divisions, developed
into a battle for the entire linden
burg line. The British, General
March said, have broken entirely
across the enemy's zone of defense,
making breaches in the line which
were closed by the Germans only
with great difficulty.
In Flanders the drive of the al
lies has reconquered rs square
miles of Belgian territory and has
formed a semi-circle 10 miles deep.
Ostend and Zeebrugge, German
submarine bases, are so threatened
that it is reported their evacuation
has begun. The British are within
five miles of Lille
