U. S. FREIGHTER
SUNK; 243 LOST
Transport Ticonderoga Victim of
er-Submarine With Eight
Inch Guns.
LlFEB0ATS ARE RIDDLED.

New York.-The torpedoing OF ,nree
vessels, with the estimatedlOss of 900
lives, was reported in the news in one
day.
The United States transport vessel
Ticonderoga was sunk far at sea, and
the list of missing totals about 243.
The Japanese steamship Hirano
Maru was torpedoed off Ireland, with
an estimated loss of 300 lines, some
of them women and children.
The sinking of the Dublin mail boat
Leinster in st. Georges channel is be-
lieved to have cost the lives of 400 per-
sons.
Two hundred and forty-three Ameri-
can lives are believed to have been lost
when German super-submarine, car
rying eight inch guns, shelled and sank
deroga LOO miles off the Atlantic
coast, presumably last Saturday or
Sunday.
The story Of the attack upon the I'll
cOnderoga was brought to an Atlantic
port by a half famished company of
II survivors of the sinking vessel, IL
of whom were soldiers and two en-
signs of the United States navy. Sew
eral of the survivors were nursing
wounds received when, with their com
paniOns being killed all about them,
they were showered with shrapnel
fred by the submarine as she emerged
upon the surface of the rough sea and
opened up on her prey without giving
those aboard the slightest chance for
life.
Shells from the submarine quickly
swept away the freighter's guns, the
Ticonderoga's survivors reported, and
then the submersible's guns were turn
ed upon the lifeboats as they were
swung over the side of the riddled
freighter. Boat after boat was shot
to pieces and their occupants hurled
into the water, either to drown or be
killed by shell fragments that spatter-
ed all about them.
, Detailed stories of the sinking of the
Ticonderoga could not be obtained
from the survivors themselves. AS
soon as they reached port the wounded
soldiers and navy officers were taken
in charge by representatives of the
Army and Navy Intelligence Bureaus,
and the other survivors were warned
not to discuss the sinking.

Rockford ILL.,, July 30.-Brent Dow
Atkinson left for Fort LeavenWOrth prls-
on to serve a 15-year sentence. he
was found guilty by a court-martial
at Camp Grant of resisting the United
States army draft. He was originally
sentenced for life This sentence, how
ever, was committed to Is years. Col.
Charles r. Rowland of the Three Hun
dred and FOrty-third infantry presided
as president of the court-martial.
The sentencing of Atkinson, paciflst,
theOrist, advanced thinker" and ego
fist, came as the conclusion to some
six months of dubious publicity given
the cOllegian. His case attracted at
tention in Chicago, first because of his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. T. w. Atkinson,
head Of the Henry Booth Settlement
House. His eccentricities were re-
garded originally as the theoretical va
pOrings of misguided youth. Allin-
sons persistence, however, in "defy-
ing" the theories of the war soon
placed a more serious light on it.

In the south and west of Germany
favorable conditions prevail. In mid
die Germany, however, and especially
in Mechlenburg and Pomerania, the
dry weather has damaged or de-
stroyed the vegetable crops and i'm

parts of the empire already have been

To complicate the situation in the

stroyed the potato crop. The cab
