British Admiralty Gives No Details of the Latest
 Disaster.
IDENTITY OF THE
 TROOPS UNKNOWN
Vessel is Relieved lo Have Been Car rling American Soldiers From EncIanh to France to Go i0
 tEr Western Front.

Washington, May 21.-Slnking of the British armed merchant cruiser Modavia with a probable loss of 56 American soldiers, was announced in a cablcgram from the British admir- atty to the war department.
 No details were given but the un- d"rStandng here is that the ship was moving between England and France. The department authorized this state ment:
 "lnformation has been received from Londen that the British armed merchant cruiser Modavia has been sunk and that 5G of the American soldiers aboard are missing. The an- nouncement was made by the British admlralty'
 At late hour the department had no further information to indicate what American units were on board the vessel. Many men are ill training in England and it is possible that the MoldaVia was carrying contin- gent bound fer the front.
 The Moldavia is the third trans port carrying American troops to be torpedocd and the fifteenth troop ship sunk the Germans. All the ves- sels carrying Americans the Antilles was the first to meet destruction by a U-Boat. She was sunk October IF last when returning to this country from Europe and 70 lives were lost.
 The seccnd was the Tuscania, which was sent to the bottom off the North coast of Ireland on February ,, wi!h a loss of life tctalying lO1. The only serious attack made on American transports occurred last June when vessels carrying some of the expedi- tionary unit under a convey, com manded by Rear Admiral Gleaves nar- rowly escaped disaster in mid-Atlan- tic
 The American soldiers showed no panic. They fell calmy into line and awaited orders when it was seen that the ship was settling down. All on board were taken off by escorting ships. The men lost all of their be- lcngings but were supplied with new clothing at the different naval ports where they were taken
 It is believed that the American soldiers missing from the Moldavia were sleeping on the bottom deck and were overtaken by the great thrush of water after the explosion when

DELIVERS MASTERPIECE

The following address, de
livered by Hon. Ruffin G..
Pleasant, Governor Of this
state, in New Orleans, on Jan.
uary 18th, last, on the occa-
sion of the visit Of a distin.
guished French Mission to
Louisiana, we consider a mas
terpiece, and believe it should
be read and preserved by our
people.
Ladies and Gentlemen and
Distinguished Guests:
tt has been said that every
man has two countries, his own
and France. / know that this
is true with ne. From earliest
childhood I have especially
loved the history of two great
nations, ancient Greece and
modern France. They live il
my Imagination like spirits of
beauty and light. God seem
ed to have marked them, in
their particular cycles, as the
centers around which all Of.
the currents of the world flow,
and against which all Of the
storms Of the earth should
rage.
Greece lived a glorious life.
Her polished brow, like that
of her Olympian God, was
raised high above the fierce
contending clouds that surged
below, and wore the crown OF
a more exalted intellectually
than any other nation has ever
known.
But France, immortal
France, the wonder nation Of
the world, still lives. Her
course is not run. Her great
heart throbs on. Her destiny
may still reach even a nobler
climax that is yet to come for
who can fore-measure the
bounds Of her greatness?
Some there were who thought
her dying. Some there were
who thought her spirit crush
ed. But, thank God, the world

A Hint 10 the AGED

II people past sixty years of age
could be persuaded to go to bed as
500 as they take cold and remain in
bed for n or two days,
they would recover much nor quick
", especially II they take Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. There would
also be less danger of the cold being
followed by any Of the more serious
diseases.-ady.
