SIX ARKANSANS
 ARE LISTED WITH
 MISSING SOLDIERS


 hundred and thirty-two names of American soldiers rescued from the torpedoed liner Tuscania had been re- ported tonight to the war department, leaving 345 of the soldiers on board unaccounted for. No official report has reached the department to change the estimate that all except 113 of the men were saved, but the names have been coming in very slowly over the cables and there Is no assurance as to when the list will be complete.
 Six Arkansans who were on board are among those not yet accounted for. There names may be added later to the list of survivors.
 The missing Arkansans are:
 William F. Bennett, Rogers.
 Nathan B. Short, Stepehns.
 Claude Bradley, Swatty.
 James R. Potillo, Huntington.
 Sterling Colon, St. James.
 Bell M. Williams, Glenwood.
 From the names so far received and the passenger list of the lost steamer the Associated Press has compiled the record of those still not reported. Probably more than two hundred of the men whose names appear on this record are safe in Ireland and will be so reported soon.
 The preparation of the list, even in it's incomplete form, represents an aggregate of 40 hours of labor. The war department has only issued an official roll of those on the ship. The committee on public information has made no effort to compile list of the missing, merely issuing lists of survivors. In order to compile list of missing and unreported, it was necessary to search for each name in both lists, a laborious process in deal inc with more than 2,00O names.
