The line between this unstricken
region and the country where only
shells have ploughed the land for sew

LONDON BELIEVES ABOUT
TWO HUNDRED WERE LOST

London, Feb. S.-Revised figures in
dicate that the loss of life on the Tus
Cania probably was considerably in
excess of yesterdays estimates of 101.
1t is now believed complete returns
will show the number of dead to be
nearer 200 than 100.
Reports received at the American
embassy yesterday indicated the loss
of 101 lives, while the British ad-
miralty's estimate was 210. This des-
crepancy now appears to have been
due to the fact that the figures sup
piled to the embassy evidently did not
include the missing, of which there
are still many.
It was announced today that ar
rangements were being made by Brit
ish and American officials jointIy for
great military funerals for the Tus-
cania's dead.
