TURKISH PROPOSAL | NOT YET REACHED | STATE DEPARTMENT Officials Are Much Inter- ested in Reported Move
 by Ottoman Empire PROPOSAL WILL CAUSE NO SURPRISE HERE Acceptance of Presidents Terms by Both Austria and Turkey Looked
 Upon at the Capital as
 Entirely Probable

Washington, October II. Proposals of peace on the part of Turkey reported in London dispatches, had not been re- ceived i'll Washington tonight. State department officials ex- pressed interest in the report Cd move ny the Turkish gov ernment, but stated positively that no proposal had reached them.
 charge of Turkish affairs in the United States, and through which any peace proposal from Constantinople undoubt- edly would be transmitted, it was said no intimation had come from Madrid that communication of this nature might be expected.
 Definite peace proposals by Turkey would occasion little surprise in official circles here. however It was announced that Turkey was to dispatch a note sim liar to that sent by Germany and Aus tria- Hungary. and in view of the fact that none has been received, there hal been feeling in some quarters for sev- eral days that very definite appeal might be forthcoming soon.
 ACCEPTANCE LIKELY
 Acceptance by Austria Hungary and Turkey of President Wilson's terms. re- ported in an Amsterdam dispatch. also would not be surprising, it was said Conditions In both countries are known to be favorable to the ending of the war at the earliest possible moment.
 The next move of the German chan cellor is being awaited by officials here with equanimity. This feeling is inten. sified becau use there is not the slightest era offensive of the entente and Amer ican forces. which is progressing so rapid and successfully that every days de.ay on the part of the German gov ernment brings nearer it's involuntary compliance with the conditions laid down a;ers must be withdrawn from occupied territory before there can be any dis cussion of peaee Apart from the press reports from E. j and Copenhagen the state department late today had received no information of the progress made b, the German council of state in Tram ing a reply to President Wilson's in- quiries.

 only t5 have been accounted for.
 Several of these have died since
 they were brought to port.
 Other Americans on the Leinster who escaped were ]. M. Rofferts, D.. J. Murphy. G. w. Russel and - Dwyer and - Hogan. All these are being cared for at the Soldiers War hotel The fate of another Amer ican. John Rose. has not been learned.
 CAPTAIN PRAISED
 The survivors warmly praised Car- tain Cone for his efforts to preserve order on the ship after the first eN- plosion. The second explosion flung him violently to the deck. He rolled himself to the side of the ship, and despite his useless leg, flung himself into the water to avoid going down with the vessel
 MT Martin said that every effort was made by the Americans to get the boats out. but that they had not suc- ceeded in getting them clear before the second torpedo struck the ship. The second explosion, he said. seemed to cut the ship in two and the boilers and everything in the center of the ship were blown away. Not more than two boats got away before the second explosion, according to MT. Martin, after which the vessel quickly sank. A graphic account of his experience is given by Mir. Denny. He was standing near the stern.
 SAW MANY DIE
 There were q couple of Americans who had no life preservers and while was hunting around for some I saw a girl who also was without one, but unperturbed." said Mir. Denny. T had started going down rope when the second explosion occurred. I must have been knocked unconscious, for the next I remember I was in the water clinging to a spar. I saw at least 20 people die around me whom was unable to help.
 T remember trying to get as far from the suction of the sinking ship as possible. saw hundreds of peo- pie clingins to the Leinsters deck and rails, among them my friend John Rose, whom 1 called to jump but wbc did not know how to swim

MANY AMERICAN TROOPS LOST BY
 SHIP COLLISION
Transport Hits Steamer in North Channel, Resulting in Many Deaths Among
 Soldiers on Board

A British Port, October 10 A large number of American troops have been lost as the result of the sinking of the transport Otranto in the North channel between the Scottish and Irish coasts in a collision with the steamer Washmir.
 The otranto after the collision wns dashed to pieces on the rocks off the south Scottish coast with probable loss of 372 American soldiers.
 Three hundred and one men were taken to Belfast by the British de- stroyer Monntsey, the only vessel which made an attempt at rescue In the terrific gale when the kash- mir, another vessel in the convoy with the otranto, rammed the Otrnnto amidships.
 Seventeen men were picked m alive on the scottish coast.
 Of the GAO American soldiers on board the Otrnnto, BIO were lnnd- ed..s Seventeen were rescued alive at IsIay, leaving 372 unaccountcd for.

REORGANIZATION RAMPANT

Officials were unable to understand
 the submarine attacks upon noncombat- ants and merchant ships within the last few days as well as the apparently wanton and vengeful destruction of the French and Belgian cities and towns by the retreating German hosts. knowing, as the enemy must, that sure retribution will follow and that eventually Germany must pay heavily for this damage Com ing at moment when the German chan cellor is suing for peace. this conduct by the military and navy is regarded as justifying belief that complete dis
 organization exists in defiance of the
 wishes of the civilian members of the
 government

STORM WAS RAGING

The Otranto and the other vessels of the convoy were battling with the heavy seas and high winds Sunday morning. The storm was so severe and the visibility so bad that the Kashmir, a former Peninsular and Oriental liner. erasher into the Otranto squarely amidships
 The Kashmir backed away badly damaged. but was able to make port
 As the bows of the kashmir were pulled from the great hole in the side of the Otranto the water rushed in, but for time it did not serve to stop the engine. The Otrantc tried to proceed. but made no headway against the gale in her crippled condition,
 Within short time the water put out her fires and the Otranto drifted help iessly toward the rocky coast of lslay Island where most of the Tuscania vic tims met their deaths

DESTROYER QUICKLY ARRIVES

Thirty minutes after the crash the British destroyer Mounsey, herself dam. aged by the heavy seas, appeared ont of the haze in answer to the distress call of the Otranto. When the destroyer maneuvered to get alongside Captain Da vidson of the Otranto warned Lieuten- ant Craven, commanding the destroyer not to make the attempt.
 When it was seen that Craven would make the attempt anyway the men were ordered to remove their shoes and heavy clothing and try to save themselves as best they could
 The destroyer stood off about hun dred feet and then gradually came near CT. against the great odds of high waves and the wind which threatened mo- mentarily to carry her entirely away from the Otranto or to dash her to piece; against the side of the wounded ves- sel
 The news of the collision reached Lon don Monday. but nothing was known oi tne fate of the Otranto until this morn ife, when the first reports came from Islay.

MANY CRUSHED

AS the destroyer neared the side or the Otranto the men began to Jump from 30 to 40 feet from her decks. The more experienced sailors of the crew of the steamer had better success than the soldiers, many of whom had never seen the sea until this trip,
 As the destroyer steered toward the side of the steamer many of the men leaped too quickly and missed their reck oning and dropped between tie boats Some of these disappeared in the water. but others of them were caught and crushed to death between the boats and the lifeboats, which had been lowered to act as buffers The destroyer was badly shattered.
 The captain of the destroyer, each time it was brushed away from tine Otranto, again would push near enough for many more men to jump to the deck of his vessel He de- scribed as veritable rain the number of men Handing on the destroyer.
 Many of those who reached the decks of the vessel suffered broken bones or otherwise were hurt. Those who missed the deck of the destroyer went to almost instant death.
 Four times the battered destroyer came alon gside, and each time the previous scenes were repeated. At the end Of the fourth trip she had BIO Americans. 2ss of the crew, 90 French sailors and one Brit ish officer on board. The boat was full
