PROUD OF Ills MEN
HOW THE AMERICANS on THE
TUSCANIA ACTED IN THE
FACE OF DANGER.

An Irish Port. Feb. 13-A major
from Washington, d. c., who was in
command Of American soldiers on
the Tuscania spent the last few hours
OF his stay at this port in sending
messages Of thanks and farewell TO
the townspeople including the mayor,
town council, local department stores
and firms Of tobacco dealers who do
mated large consignment Of ~Cigarets
and pipe tobacco to the soldiers. The
major was downcast by the catastro-
phe, but was proud Of his troops.
IF they behave as well in France
as they did on the Tuscania," he said,
there is no doubt about the outcome
of this war"
Too much praise cannot be heaped
upon them for their ealmness in the
face of disaster at sea, which two
thirds OF them had never seen before
One marked result of the disaster
which was noticed by the officers
was the improved discipline of the
men. Before the disaster they were
lax in saluting, but after the torpedo
struck the ship groups of privates
asked the officers to tell them what
to do and they did IL like highly
trained soldiers. It was as If the
disaster had made them realize that
discipline is important in the grim
business of war in which they are
engaged.
Throughout their stay on shore
here the officers displayed a fine
spirit of giving up their rooms in the
hotels to poorly clad privates. The
behavior of the men here has been
exemplary. One of the first acts by
the authorities after consulting with
the American officers was TO close all
saloons during the stay Of the Amer
leans. 1t was thought best to re-
move temptation from the tired, daz-
ed men. The town council provided
amusement for the men in special
moving picture shows and last night
gave a concert in the town hall.
A remarkable experience in the
disaster was had by a Georgia private
who was confined to bed with pneu-
monia when the torpedo struck the
Tuscania. The Georgian rushed on
deck clad only in a union suit An
other soldier gave up his coat to COW
er the sick man who was lowered in
to a lifeboat and soon found himself
on a trawler, where he sat on a wind
swept deck for hours. When he was
landed here he felt so fully recovered
from his illness that he could not be
induced to go to the hospital.
