The German cruiser Dresden was

that old ships had been given the

Only Thirty U-Boats
Now in War Zone.
1t Is Estimated

The number Of German submarines
working at any one time at commerce
destroying in the prohibited zone had
until recently been surprisingly small,
according to reliable information re-
ceived by correspondent of The Asso.
ciated Press recently returned to the
United States from Europe.
During the early period of the winter
the number of submarine raiders at
work in the zone varied from twelve
to a maximum Of eighteen. 1t was then
expected, however, that the Germans
would endeavor to increase this num-
Der, largely as a threat to the Amer
lean troop transports, and that they
might by this time be able to increase
this maximum perhaps to thirty boats.
These estimates did not include the
smaller "egg planters" or mine laying
submarines.
Both the north and south entrances
OF the Irish Sea have been favorite
hunting grounds for German sub
marines Of the big fighting type and
mine layers. Both kinds cf boats have
been operating off the entrance to the
Mersey-the gateway to Liverpool-a

Big Cunarder Victim of
U-Boat, but May Be
Salvaged .
Had Few Passengers
Brief Report Indicates All
Safe and Several Warships
in Attendance

Another big Cunard liner has been
torpedoed by German U-boat. This
is the Aurania, craft of 13,400 tons
and ono of the finest in the company's
fleet
Only meagre advices have been re-
ceived at the company's Offices in this
city, 81 State Street, where it was said
the only definite information on hand
was to the effect that the Aurania had
been attacked and was still ahoat, max
ing her way to British port
/ The vessel was west bound, having
recently unloaded cargo carried from
this country and started on her return
trip. The torpedoing occurred either
Tuesday or Wednesday.
Advices from other sources dis
closed, however, that the Aurania had
heen badly damaged by the torpedo
and had turned about for port under
convoy of several warships. She car
ried but little cargo.
The passenger list, it was said at the
Cunard Offices, comprised only thirteen
Or fourteen persons. 1t is assumed
they are all safe, though no definite
information has been received.
The Aurania is a sister ship of the
Cunarder Andania which was sunk by
submarine in the latter part of jan
uary. She was built in 1915 at New
castle on-Tyne in the same yard in
which the Mauretania was constructed.
She was $50 feet long, had beam Of

CHICAGO, Feb. 7-"German subma-
rines in a single month destroyed as
much oceangoing tonnage as the
United States turned out in one wear
prior to the war, and their ravages are
beyond our comprehension"
This was the statement made in an
address before the Iroquois Club to-
day by Bain5ridge Colby, of New York,
member of the United States Shipping
Board. More ships were the weapon
he suggested to combat the submarine,
which he termed devils weapon,
welded by DEVILS crew"
although the increased efficiency of
the destroyer patrol since Americas
entrance into the war has checked the
submarines ravages somewhat, it is
not an exaggeration to say that it
probably will destroy in the present
year as much tonnage as England and
America together can build and
launch" he added.

IStof Correspondence

Washington, Feb. THE War De-
uartment had news of the sinking of
the Tuscania five or six hours before
il was made public, it developed here
to-day. Officials of the War Depart
ment, including the Secretary Of War,
Of the disaster should be given to the
public
Secretary Baker admitted he had re-
ceived the first cable message from
General Pershing reporting the Tus-
cania sinking late in the afternoon at
about 4:30 o'clock.
He communicated with the Navy De-
partment in an effort to get confrma-
ton. and later decided TO make the
dispatch public. The dispatch was not
received by the committee on public
information for dissemination to the
press until 9:40, and it was 10 o'clock
before it was given out.
1t is the custom to forward all such
dispatches to the White House immedi-
ately on arrival. Secretary Baker did
not say that this course was followed
Yesterday, but it is assumed the Presi-
dent would be advised of such an i'm

first outbound American transport to
be destroyed. with a loss Of life then

If President Wilson was advised of
the Tuscania sinking in the afternoon
White House attaches were not APP
prised of the fact. Officials of the
White House staff debated later in the
evening whether they should disturb
the President with the news after he
had gone to the theatre. After the
Presidents return from the theatre he
was given copies Of all reports that
came in bearing on the Tuscania disas-
ter. Officials debated for twenty-four
hours before deciding to give out the
names of the sailing list of the Tus
cana.
1t was first decided last night TO
make no reference to the units aboard
the transport. Newspaper men were
told the Wisconsin and Michigan troops,
forming part of the 32d Division, and
the forestry regiment of engineers were
on board, but they were instructed not
to mention the fact in their reports of
the disaster.
Later, when the list OF missing was
reduced from 100 to fewer than 800,
il was decided to r.enton the units.
Secretary Baker, in explaining the
action in Withholding names and units,
said that he and his advisers were un
certain what was the kindest thing to
do. Ii they mentioned the name Of the
units aboard ship there would be acute
distress in the homes from which the
men comprising these units were
drawn, as every mother would believe
her boy to be among the dead. If they

names the mother IF every soldier on

it would not be of military value to

Tuscania Captain
Veteran Navigator

Veteran runner of U-boat blockades,
Captain Peter Mclean. commander Of
the liner Tuscania, has again reached
port in safety-but not with his ship.
Cable advices received by the officials
of the Anchor Line yesterday afternoon
told of the escape of Captain Mclean
after his vessel had been torpedoed by
the Germans. The same cablegram an
nounced that William Wheate, the chief
steward. and Young, the purser, had
also been rescued.
The captain of the Tuscana is one
Of the Anchor Lines veteran naviga-
tors. He brought the ship out on her
maiden voyage from Glasgow and Liv-
erpool in 1915, and has been in com.
mand during many trying voyages since
that time.
1t was only day or two before his
departure for England recently that he
confded to friends that he anticipated
a war decoration for his work in run
ming submarine blockades. Apropus of
this prediction, he remarked lightly:
"Well, it's a funny thing, but it
seems the men they decorate always get
torpedoed shortly afterward."

There Is No Scapegoat-
The Culprit Is War

There is another reason why the
British association with this great
event may be an advantage With
sentiment keenly aroused, some people
will always try on these occasions to
find out a scapegoat, as if some one
must be blamed. The fact is that the
culprit is simply grim war. I am civ
ing away nothing if I say that l have
seen conveys in midocean. A convoy
not impossible. The presence Of
friendly ships near the vessel when
she is struck reduces loss of life, but
there remains certain risk. OBJ
viously, no submarine can employ gun
fire on a conveyed troop ship. The
enemy trying it would be quickly dis
posed Of. But torpedoes can and will
be directed, as and when possible, and
the utmost that we can expect is to
keep down hits to an absolute mini
mum This is a more hopeful task
than would at first appear. Subma-
-rines cannot see far and cannot see
often. For much of their time they
must be under water. Vessels con-
easy to spot, especially when accom-
panied by we'll armed destroyers and
even aircraft. But there are narrow
channels - bottle-necks which need
especial vigilance.
I notice that the Tuscana was maxi
ing for British port and was sunk
off the coast of Ireland. l am not sur
prised at that news. French porte
have always been crowded to excess
we had great difficulty in getting fa-
cilities for discharge of men and car

war. And no wonder. The manhooi /

House Of Commons that Indian trans
ports had arrived at Marseilles. 1t

seilles as he said, but, being DELAYED
they were still out in the Mediter-
