AMERICAN TROOPS
VICTIM Of U-BOATS
TRANSPORT TuscANlA, WITH 1887
AMERICANS ABOARD, is SUNK
OFF THE IRISH COAST.
WAS UNDER BRITISH CONVOY
The Official Statement Says All Ex.
vept tot Of the 1897 American
Soldiers apd Crew Have
Been Accounted For.

Washington. --latest official adYlces
to the war department accounted for
all except 1Ol Of the 1897 American
soldiers and crew who were on board
the British liner Tuscania when a sub
marine sent her down off the Irish
coast.
The troops, composed chiefly of de-
tachments of Michigan and Wisconsin
national guardsmen, we're travelling on
the Tuscania, British vessel, under
convoy Of British warships.
Because Of the nature of the military
organizations carried by the ship, the
war department announced that it
would be impossible to say definitely
what troops were aboard until the list
Of survivors was received.
The state departments dispatch
gave the number of soldiers on board
as 2,173, six less than the war depart
ment's report. 1t told of plans prompt
ly made for caring for the survivors.
The state department issued this
statement:
''The latest advices received by the
state department from the embassy at
London regarding the Tuscania are
that 1912 officers and men on the Tus-
cania were accounted for out of 2,173.
1.-THE ambassador has sent an assist
ant military attache and another army
officer to Belfast, Ireland. Represent
atives of the American Red Cross and
the Y. M. G. A. also have gone, with
full power to spend all the money
needed, and authorizations from the
British Red Cross to use their equip
ment at Belfast. The ambassador fur
Their reports that the lord mayor of Bel
fast is giving all the aid possible"
Second Transport to Be Torpedoed.
The Tuscania was the first ship car
rying American troops to Europe to be
sunk by German submarines, but the
American transport Antilles was tor
pedoed and sunk in the war zone while
returning to the United States from
France and IA soldiers were lost, with
156 other persons, including several
members of the naval armed guard.
American warships conveying trans
ports to France last June twice fought |
off submarine attacks. Since then,
however, there has been no report of
an attack on ship carrying Ameri-
ran troops to Europe.
Recently the navy department has
feared that the Germans would make
concerted effort to intercept trans
ports, the recall Of many Of the sub
marines to their bases being inter- !
preted as preliminary to such cam
paign.
The position of the Tuscania when
she was sunk is taken to indicate that
she was bound to England.
Her sinking definitely discloses that
British ships are being used to carry
American troops abroad, supplement-,
ing American transport tonnage. This
fact has been intimated before, and
probably arises from the decision OF
the supreme war council to make ev
cry effort to augment Gen. Pershings
army during the present year.

EMERGENCY SHIPPING BOARD
NEEDS 10000 WoRkMEN IN

TO RUN THREE SHIFTS A DAY
Native Born American Workrnen
Have Not Responded to Appeal
To Build shlps-Quarter MIL
lion Mechanics Needed.

Washington. Responsibility for
success or failure of the governments
shipbuilding program was put on la
Dor by Charles Piez, vice-president
and general manager of the emery.
ency fleet corporation, in an appeal
for shipyard workers.
THE shipping board has necessary
yards, material and money he said
all that is lacking is a spirit in the
nation that will send a quarter of a
million American mechanics into the
yards to give the best and most ef-
ficient work"
The fact that shipyards are work.
ing only one shift six days week was
characterized by Mr. Plez as mon.
strous."
IF we are to keep ahead of the
submarine campaign" said he, 1--WE
must run three shifts a day, 50 weeks
in the year"
Mr.. Piez's statement continues:
within 60 days huge government
yards will be completed, and soon
more than $4,000 workmen will be re.
quired to furnish the three eight
hour shifts necessary. The shipping
board now has 116 shipways, S02 for
wooden ships and Ala for steel con
struction.
"Our program calls for the con-
struction in 1918 of eight times the
tonnage delivered in 1915 at cost Of
more than $1,OOO,OOO,OOO
Il am sorry to say at the present
time the native-born American work
man is not the mainstay of the ship
yard, for he is there only to the ex-
tent of IS per cent of the men en-
ployed, and to the extent of S. per
cent we are forced to depend on for
eign-born labor,
I'VE all honor the men in uniform
and the same honor must be given to
the men who go to work in the yards.
Just as the navy is the first line Of
the British empire, and just as Ger
many depends upon her submarines,
so must America depend for victory
upon the shipbuilders in the Ameri-
can yards To the women of America
| say: Send your men to the ship
Yards, for they will be doing there no
ess service than in the army or the
navy and they will be returned to you
safe and well paid, after having per-
'ormed a duty that is a primal neces-
Iity Of this war"

COunty-SeaterS Must Cut Out
the "HOg Stuff"
(Kooskia Mountaineer)

The Mountaineer isn't hunting
a controversy with its county seat
friends. But we do desire to call
attention to the distribution of
officers over the county. Ofcourse
we realize the fact, that every
loyal citizen has the right to as
pire to political honors. This is
one of the many blessings which
an American enjoys under the
laws of our great Republic. How
ever, every politician knows how
to bring sufficient pressure by
which a candidate can be elimi-
mated if they so desire. There is
all the reason on earth to believe
that our county seat politicians
have their eyes fixed and intend
to grab every office in sight, even
down to the coroner. We hope
of course that this is just a scheme
of few would-be politicians.
But a canvass of past officers
show that a majority of the Off
GERS always live in or near our
county seat, and just how this
was brought about no one knows.
But this year there is going to be
a square deal given other COM
munities and the leaders had just
as well take warning, unless they
want every man defeated who
lives in or near Grangeville. We
do not mean that Grangeville has
no rights, but we do mean that
she is only entitled to her proper
ton and no more and we intend
to use our influence during the
coming campaign in securing an
equitable distribution of officers.

GERMANS STILL
 WITHHOLD ATTACK
Event For Heavy Artillery Fire. Only Minor Operations Occur-French Regain South of Hailles.

New York, May 15.-Still another dav has passed without the Germans renewing their offensive in Flanders or picardy. Nowhere have the infan- try operations been in importance ebove patrol engagements.
 North of Kemmel, where the Ger mans Tuesday gained a footing on Hill Al. one of the bloodiest sectors m the western front, the lost vantage noints have been regained through the nersistent counter-attacks of the French. who drove the enemy from the shell holes along the slopes, to which he had been holding. The Ger mans were forced to retreat and the French advanced their line and also took prisoners.
 South of Hailles, in the Amiens re- zion, the French have taken another bite into the German line and warded off German counter-attack launched in an endeavor to recapture the lost ground. The Germans in these me- neuvers suffered heavy losses. The British were left alone by the German infantry today.
 Although the enemy is keeping his infantry to their trenches he continues to use his artillery vigorously against salient positions held by the British and French all along the front, espec- tally against Field Marshal Haig's forces south of Albert and against the French north of Kemmel. The French north of Montdidier and along the curve in the battle front between Nontdidier and Noyon also have been under an intensive fire from the Ger man guns.
 American aviators on the battle front in the Foul sector are continu- ing to perform notable deeds against the enemy fliers. Today witnessed three additional planes in this region brought to earth by American airmen all having been shot down. The French decorated five of the Ameri- cans with the French war cross.
