hundred and thirty-two names of
American soldiers rescued from the
torpedoed liner Tuscania had been
reported tonight to the war depart
ment, leaving 345 Of the soldiers on
board unaccounted for. No official
report has reached the department
to change the estimate that all ex-
cept 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.
The names of four Tennesseans
appeared in the list of 345 missing
from the Inflated Tuscania given out
Sunday night by. the war depart
ment.
The four were L. H. Mocker,
of Nashville; VIM. T. George, Wa
verify; Milton Tally, Union City, and
Hugh Alexander, Cumberland Gap.
The name of Joe Gillespie, another
Nashville boy, who was known to
have been on the ship did not appear,
and is evidence that he is among the
survivors.

British Steamer Tuscania is a
Victim of German Submarine
Somewhere in War Zone.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Nineteen
hundred and twelve of the 2,l79
American officers and men on board
the Cunard liner Tuscania, torpe-
doed and sunk in the war zone, were
reported accounted for in dispatch
to the state department tonight from
the London embassy.
News of the first great disaster
Of the war to Americas armed forces
came in brief dispatch to the war
department from London. 1t did
not mention the possibility of fur
Their survivors, but hope was built
here upon the fact that all who es-
capped were landed at two widely
separated Irish ports and indications
that relief vessels were at hand
quickly.
The soldiers on board the Tuscan
ia we're small detachments from al
most every section of the country,
mostly from Michigan and Wiscon-
sin. There was no distinctive militia
nv unit from any state, and for this
reason war department officials an
nounced that it would be impossi-
bic to announce a list of those on
board until complete reports had
been received. Instructions were
sent by wireless and cable by the
war, navy and state departments to
their representatives in England and
ireland, directing that every detail
be forwarded at the earliest posi-
bic moment.

SUNK BY SUBMARINE

the crew and six passengers. The
bodies of 1876 American troops have
been recovered.

American soldiers, as their trans
port, the Tuscania, wounded NOR
tally by a German torpedo sank be-
meath the waves, faced death he
roically.
To their calm behavior and the
skillful work of British destroyers
and trawlers is due the fact so many
of the passengers and crew were
saved.

THE NEWS
MAKES A PAPER.

Just simply to send out a printed
sheet does not constitute a newspa-
per. To be a newspaper it must
contain the news-the important
events in which the public is inter
ested.
This is what keeps the Enterprise
circulation booming-new subscrib-
ers and renewals coming in daily.
The rate of subscription does not
effect the circulation. of newspa-
per so long as it is true to its
name-a newspaper in fact as well
as in name. The Enterprise is re-
ceiving just as many $3.50 sub
scribers today as it did 81 subscrip-
tions-both new and renewals
year ago. Farmers who are selling
So corn, 20-cent cotton, 18-cent to-
bacco and 2o-cent pork do not mind
paying $3.50 for a newspaper that
gives them all the news of all the
county all the time.
Here they are for the past week,
up to last Friday night:

terprise commends his candidacy to
its readers.

efforts to fill from civil life, as well as

from the daring spirits of the country

BOND GOES over
PROBABLY 100000 OR MORE IN
DIvIpuALs BOUGHT BONDS
OF 4TH LIBERTY LOAN.
DESPITE the Total Lack of Definite In
formation. Officials Were Confident
That the $4,000, 100000 Popular War
Credit Had Been Oversubscribed.

ENTHUSIASTICALLY 25,OOO,OoO or
more individuals bought bonds OF the
Fourth Liberty Loan, unofficial reports
reaching Washington showed. A large
proportion of these filed their SUD-
scriptions during the last few Gays OIL
the campaign, which ended last nlght'
Consequently it will be task OF many
DAVIS to actually count the number OF
pledges and to compile reports from
the entire country. Definite figures
and the total subscriptions to the loan
were not available yet. Local ana dls-
trict campaign managers, fatlgued
with their arduous duties of the So
licitation work, rested to figure up the
avalanche of last-minute purchases.
The only official figures in hand, SHOW
ing $1,4OO,O0O,OO0 yet to be sub
scribed. Depsite the total lack of def
mite information, officials were conf
dent that the $6,000,00O,O0O popular
war credit had been oversubScrlbed.
This belief was based on indica-
tions that advance promises of large
sums from financial interests in New
York and elsewhere would be found
to be fulfilled when the final count is
made. Banks have until next Thurs
day to tabulate their subscriptions and
report to Federal Reserve Banks.
Treasury officials declared it might
be as much as two weeks before the
results of the whole country are
known, particularly if the number of
subscribers runs as high as present
estimates. Cato Sells, Commissioner
of Indian Affairs, announced that tele-
graphic reports received by him from
the various Indian reservations show
the Indians in this country have sub
scribed $4,50O,000 to the fourth loan.
This brings their total subscriptions
to all four loans to about $20,00O,00O.

British were driving the Germans rap
idly to the east in the direction OF
Client which is being approached Doth
from the west and the southwest, the
British third army smashed it's way

Comfort of Patient.

1.-THE comfort Of the patient depends
on a number of little things, and these
should not be overlooked. Among
these may be mentioned well-ventl-
lated room; q thoroughly clean Deu
with fresh, smooth sheets and pillow
cases: quiet, so that refreshing sleep
may be had; cool drinking water con-
veniently placed; cool compress to
the forehead if there is headache !;
keeping the patients hands and lace
clean, and the hair combed; keeping
his mouth clean, preferably with some
pleasant mouth wash; letting the pa
tient know that someone is within call
but not annoying him with too much
fussing; giving the patient plenty OF
opportunity to rest and sleep.
$50 much for the patient. 1t Is
equally important to consider the per-
son who is caring for him. 1t is inn
portant to remember that the disease
is spread by breathing germ-laden mat
ter sprayed into the air by the patient
in coughing or even in ordinary breath
ing. The attendant should therefore
wear a gauze mask over her mouth
and nose while she is in the sick ROOM
Observe Cleanliness.
1.-THE attendant shonld, If possible
wear a washable gown or an apron
which covers the dress. This will make
II much simpler to avoid Infection
ct is desirable that all attendants
learn how to use fever thermometer.
This is not at all difficult matter, ano
the use of such a thermometer Is Q
great help in caring Scr the patients
aIn closing. and lest I be misunder.
stood, I wish to leave one word OF
caution: II in doubt, call the doctor.

Vienna.-Steps for the organization
of Austria on a federalized basis were
proclaimed by Emperor Charles. The
plan does not include the union of
Austrian Poland with "the independent
Polish state" the Emperor declared
The city of Trieste and the Trieste
region will be treated separately lin
conformity with the wishes of the pop
ulation," he added. Emperor Charles
addressed the Austrian land and sea
forces at the same time he issued the
message to the people. In his order to
the sailors and soldiers he expressed
firm confidence that the concord
which has existed in the army and
navy until now will exist for the future
for the well being of the new confed-
Grated Austria"
His proclamation to the people fol-
lows:
"To my faithful Austrian peoples:
"Since l have assembled the throne l
have tried to make it my duty to as
sure to all my peoples the peace so
ardently desired and to point the way
to the Austrian peoples of prosperous
development, unhampered by obstacles
which brutal force creates against in
telIectual and economic prosperity.
The terrible struggles in the world
war have thus far made the work of
peace impossible The heavy sacrifices
of the war should assure to us an hon
orable peace on the threshold of which,
by the help of God, we are today. We
must, therefore, undertake without de-
lay the organization of our country on
a natural and, therefore, solid basis.
Such a question demands that the de-
sires of the Austrian peoples be har-
monized and realized"

"This reconstruction, which in no
way affects the integrity of the coun-

gary, will guarantee the independence
of each individual national state. 1t
will, however, also effectively protect
common interests, and will bring them
to bear wherever a community is a
