Washington, Feb 6.-President

with Chairman Hurley Of the ship

lem of procuring tonnage for the
movement of American troops and
supplies over the sea to the battle
fronts.
Every phase Of the question was
discussed, including the progress or
the government building program,
plans for obtaining allied ships for
transporting soldiers and negotla'
tions with the European neutrals for
tonnage TO release American vessels
for transatlantic service. The presi.
dent was particularly interested ip
the proposal to obtain additional
ships by reducing imports probably

A full realizations of the extent to
which Americas troops movement to
France depends on tonnage has come,
not only to this government, but TO
the allies as we'll, and it was indicated
that one Of the chief topics at the re-
cent session Of the supreme war coun-
Gil at Versailles was that of finding
ships for that purpose.

GET WAR OUT OF
HUMAN SYSTEM
[Ohio State Journal. ]

What will we do with our military
training so much talked about if the re.
suit of the war will be an international
league of peace? Such league is based
upon the idea that there shall be nc
more war, and that the conditions are
arranged to secure that result. Arma-
ment would be a menace to that peace,
and so would universal military training.
We want to Danish war from national
ideals completely. We want the peace
spirit so strong as to exclude the posi-
bility of war. Of course, the human ma
ture fellows will pop up ard say such an
idea is absurd; that it is prime tenden-
cy of human nature to fight. But such
people will have to be derided when we
base international relations upon the
permanency of peace. That is what the
war is for. We want to get war out of
the human system.

London, Feb. IA statement from
the admiralty, made public shortly
after 1 o'clock, confirmed the earlier
figures giving the total number of
persons on the Tuscania as 1897 and
the total number saved as 21S7, max
ing the number of missing 210.
The approximate figures of those
saved are:
Officers. 76; men, 1895; officers of
the crew. 16; men of the crew, 1926;
passengers, 8; not specified, 3.
The British admiralty's figures in
dicate a loss of life among the Amer
lean troops of nearly 100 less than
the Washington estimate. According
to the admiralty POLL officers and
men were saved. The war depart
ment at Washington gives the num-
Der as 1912.
The admralty's statement shows
total of 2187 men saved, which add
ed to the 210 believed to have been
lost, gives total of 1897 persons on
board.
The following official communica-
ton was given out early this after
noon:
1.-THE Anchor liner Tuscania, Cap
tan j. L. Henderson, was torpedoed
on the night of the 5th of February
off the Irish coast while carrying I'm
tied States troops.
Following are the approximate
number saved: United States military
officers, 76; men, 1885.
Grew, officers, 16; men, 125."
Passengers, 8; not specified, 8.
"The total number aboard, 1897.
Total saved, 2187.
"The foregoing are approximate
figures, but as correct as can be CIV
en- at present"

James w. Faulkner in the Cincinnati
Enquirer.
Through dint of stopping persons and
belaboring them with threats and mini,
atory gestures, calculating material has
been gathered in sufficient quantities to
warrant going into the sooth-saying
business and making midwinter predic-
tions about things that are going to hap
pen in sultry August. 1t now looks as
if the old Governorship tickets of 1914
1916, Cox and Willis, will have to serve
for the voters in 1918.
On the Democratic side there is the
lingering hope of some of the unrecou-
structed Harmon fellows that Uncle
JUDI will come back and one-per-cent
them to victory again. To day he is
being showered with postal cards con-
graduating him on his birth anniver-
sary, and there is all kinds OF fussing
over this event. The idea emauated
from Fostoria, but a fellow in the Su-
preme Court Clerks Office is suspected
of launcing it, his purpose being to in
cite political boom for the veteran chief
executive.
On the other hand, every straw that
blows indicates steady draft for Cox,
who has made no sign, but who, it is
generally believed, will respond if called
upon. If he consents to run-and it is |
believed he will-the Democratic pri-
mary will be a formality, as the party
also will renominate Lieutenant Cover
nor Earl Bloom, State Treasurers Ches.

Newman and Attorney General Joseph |
McGhee. There may be some scramble
for the second Judgeship nomination,
which independents wish given to Judge
whose term also expires
next year and who was chosen as nom
partisan in 1912.

FAILS IN HAUL,
LANDS IN JAIL

A woman about 80 years of age,
giving her name as Francs Thomp-
son, of Pittsburgh, Pa, was arrested
in the Schunck jewelry store in this
city, last Tuesday.
She is charged with attempting to
steal diamond pin.
The woman asked Mr.. McNair to
show her some diamonds and while
he was busy talking to a salesman
she slipped a diamond brooch into
her muff. Mr.. McNair Immediately
missed the brooch and stopped the
woman as she was leaving the store.
In submittig to the search she slipped
the diamond onto the showcase, and
being caught with the goods, she
begged them to let her go. Three
compartments were found in the muff
she was carrying, which leads officials
to believe her a professional.
She was given a hearing Monday
and bound over to the grand jury
under $500 bond. Unable to fur
nish bond he is being held in the
county Jail awaiting trial.
