THOSE ON BOARD TUSCAN|A
No Official Report to Change Estimate that All
Except 113 Were Saved-Probably More than
200 Of Those on Missing List Will Be Report
ed Soon as Safe in Ireland

WASHINGTON, Feb. l0-Eighteen hum
bred and thirty-two names of Ameri-
can soldiers rescued from the torpe-
decd liner Tuscania had been reported
tonight to the war department, leaving
345 Of the soldiers on board unac-
counted for No official report has
reached the department to change the
estimate that all except 113 of the men
were saved. but the names have been
coming in very slowly over the cables
and there is no assurance as to when
the list will be complete.
From the names SO far received and
the passenger list Of the lost steamer.
The Associated Press has compiled the
record of those still not reported. Prob
ably more than 200 of the men whose
names appear on the record are safe in
Ireland will be reported soon.
The preparation Of this list even i'll
it's incomplete form, represents an ag-
gregate of $40 hours of labor. The war
department has only issued an official
roll Of those on the ship. The COM
mittee on public information has made
no effort 20 compile u list of the miss
ing. merely issuing lists Of survivors.
In order to compile a list Of missing
and unreported it was necessary to
search for each name in both lists, Il
laborous process in dealing with more
than 2000 names.
