as He Directs Rescue Work

GLASGOW. Scotland. February 10
Capt. MacLean Of the Tuscania has SUBJ
mitted a report to his owners and to
the board of trade and the naval au-
thorities. He declined to make a state
ment for publication. remarking that
the main facts Of the disaster already
had been fairly stated
young Irish lad, a resident of Glas-
gov, who acted as Capt. MaeLean's
boy. was interviewed by the Associated
Press correspondent. The boy said that
after the torpedoing Capt. MacLean
looked to be the coolest man on board,
giving orders as If nothing had hap
pened to interfere with the ordinary
ship routine
He was just like father looking
after his children" the boy said, "and
repeatedly encouraged small parties
who were hurrying to get into life

The lad added that the captains
amazing coolness had a marvellous ef-

launching of the boats on the starboard
side. the boy said. also gave a splendid
example of courage, exercising great
control over the men and repeatedly

The boy saw him lifting an uncon-
scious man and leaning over the ships
side at dangerous angle, placing him
in in a boat which was being lowered:
The conduct Of all of the officers and
crew was magnificent. the boy de-
clared. and they stuck by the ship until
all of the soldiers had disemb rked.
The boy also was impressed by the
courage of the American soldiers when
the British destroyers came alongside
and they had to slide down ropes,
which. he said. was a dangerous pro-
ceeding owing to the swinging of the
boats. The Americans accepted the
risk with great spirit. he said, three
of them shouting Let her rip" as one
after another they clambored over
board and slid rapidly to the deck Of
warship. Indeed. many looked upon
the exciting experience as a joke, the
boy recalling that one was coolly
smoking cigarette as he took his turn
on the rope.

boat with forty others. He said: "All
at once we bumped into something

British positions northeast Of Poel-
capelle, in the central salient, and at
number of other points.
Heavy ighting took place along the
entire front. Though no actions OF
more than local character were re-
corded, it would appear that the long
deferred offensive may develop stimuli
taneously at different points of the line
as an outcome of these engagements.
The British took full measure of the
enemy in these various undertakings
and had the situation well in hand.
The French front was also the scene
Of much lively fighting.
TN the. italian theater no important
operations took place. The Austrians
were busy rearranging their DISPOSE

Italians kept up continuous harassfng

Saws Adoption Is Incredible.

"a simple computation shows that the
aggregate proposed guaranty will pay SO

ali the capital stock of all the railroads
of the country. In view Of the fact that
the government is to maintain the prop
critics and return them, If they ever are

were taken, it is incredible that the pro-
posal to guarantee to the railroads, as
whole, an operating income aside from

stock outstanding in the hands OF the

Compensation Called Excessive.

The standard of compensation pro-
vided in the bill was declared excessive
by the Iowa senator, who said that
under its provisions the aggregate
guaranteed operating income amounts
to more than s95O,O00.000. This. he as
serted. is s175.o0o,ooo more than is
fair and just compensation"

and to the distinguished men who com.
posed the bill before u.s." the report

sion that. in proposing to offer to the
railroads this immense sum OF money
those who are responsible for the mea-
sure have been thinking only of the
men who are to receive the money, and
that the effect upon the millions who
are to pay the money has been. 1t is
feared. entirely absent in their consid-
Grafton Of the question.
when the government guarantees the
railroads against all the perils OF world
destroying war, a peril which all other
institutions must face and the conse-
quences of which they must endure, the
railway corporations ought in good con-
science to be satisfied with return which
will amply reward the capital invested In
their property.

Believes Morale Of Service Hurt.

1T is unfortunate" the report said,
.that when, in the last days of Decem-
Der, 1917, the President did act. he left
the situation so indefinite and uncer-
tain that nobody knows what railroads
have been taken over. Nobody knows
whether the men, from the presidents
of the companies to the section hands.
are working for the government or for
their respective corporations. and the
morale of the service Is seriously inn
paired Nobody knows whether the
earnings of the railways belong to the
United States or to private companies"
Senator Cummins said his other OBJ
jections to the bill were its failure to
provide definitely that additions, bet
terments and extensions made out of
surplus earnings shall belong benef1-
ciaily to the public and shall not be
treated hereafter as capital entitled to
a return" and failure to define the po-
sition of short-line railroads.

American troops. Our loss at the latest
appears to be approximately 11S men.

by those in command contributed to ac-
count for these relatively slight casualties.
AT the same time, we must express
our profound appreciation for the splendid
work of the British navy in rescuing our
forces.
Notwithstanding the fact that hostile
submarines were lurking in the vicinity,
the British destroyers rendered every as
sistance. and remained on the scene. sue

Additional Enemy Forces in West

THE arrival in the western theater of
additional German forces. coming orig
inally from the Russian front, is
noted. Further Austrian divisions also
have been detached from other zones
of operations and are being concen-
trated in reserve behind the German
lines in the west.
Much dissatisfa ction is expressed
throughout AuStria-Hungary at the
policy of dispatching their troops to
fight Germany's battles along the
western front
THE desire for peace is increasing
daily in the dual monarchy, and it is
only natural that the Austrians should
resent sacrificing their forces on
distant battlefields in the furtherance
of German ambitions alien to their in
terests.
FLANDERS again was the scene of
numerous minor engagements. particu-
larly in the region of the Ypres-Staden
railway, where such fierce fighting
took place last autumn.

THE sector in~1orraine where our

continued relatively active throughout

intermittently, but fog and heavy rains
prevented infantry engagements. Ihe
Germans attempted no further raids,
and settled down to systematic snlplng,
and bombing of our positions.
Our sharpshooters gave good ac-
count Of themselves, keeping the enc
my parapets well cleared of Germans.
''One stretch of our line is very close
up to the German positions. Here
bombing and a frequent exchange Of
hand grenades occurred
German aeroplanes made repeated

themselves well fitted for their tasks

warfare. The welfare of our troops,
whether in the trenches or in rest de-
pots, is the object of the immediate per-
sonal concern of all our commanders.
The rations for the men in the trench
es, in spite of the enemy's attempts to
break up our transport columns, have
been regularly assured. The care of our
wounded at our field dressing stations,
as well as at our base hospitals. is be-

tif1c skill.
