Some of the editorials say the sub
marine menace has not yet been

Great Britain and the United States.
must devote all their energies in
view of the imperative need of keep
ing the Atlantic route open.
The Daily Telegraph says: 1.-THE
Americans have defied the pirates all
these months and we are convinced
that the sorrow and anger which the
loss of life on the Tuscania will &C.
casion will only steel the hearts of
the people to persevere and deepen
their resolve. There is nothing in
the incident to occasion alarm, but it
constitutes a warning to us and the
Americans to concentrate on the de-
Tense of the Atlantic"
"a thousand men will step forward
to fill the gap left vacant by each
of the dead" says the Daily Mail.
Americans are looking the task

Reports received at the American
embassy yesterday indicated the loss
OF 101 lives, while the British admi-
ralty's estimate was 210. This dis
crepancy now appears to have been
due to the fact that the figures sup
piled to the embassy evidently die
not include the missing, of which
there are still many.
It was announced that arrangements
were being made by British and
American officials Jointly for great
military funerals for the Tuscania 8
dead
The committee on public informa-
ton at Washington made this an
nouncement. today:
1.-THE passenger list of the Tuscania,
compiled by the War Department at
the port of er1barkation, shows that
the vessel carried Att military pas
sengers and two civilian passengers.
The military passengers consisted of
1T officers and 1000 enlisted men.

pursued and sank the submarine lack
confirmation and the report of the
British admiralty is eagerly awaited.
Navy officials are inclined to the view
that the Tuscania incident is an iso-
lated case and have no reason to
change their view that the submarine
menace has been overcome.
That the sinking of the Tuscania will
stimulate the United States to even
greater resolve and sterner efforts on
behalf of the fight for democracy is
the opinion generally expressed in
editorial comment in the morning
newspapers of, London.
Satisfaction is expressed and con-
gratulations are extended that this,
the first disaster to many American
transports, shows the emptiness of
the German boast that the submarines
would render the transportation of
American armies impossible and
would intin1idate the Americans.
| Nevertheless, it is declared, it is too
much to hope that the Tuscania will
be the last victim, though the convic-
ton is expressed that the American
nation realizes-~fully the difficulties
ahead and is prepared to meet them.

survivors of the Tuscania who are
there were greatly relieved to hear OF
the safe arrival elsewhere of Major
Benjamin F. Wade of Washington,
commander of contingent on the
steamer, and hundreds of other Amer
lean troops.
How American soldiers behaved
when they found that the boats as
signed to them on the Tuscania had
been smashed is told by an American
officer who landed in an Irish port.
The officer said his men behaved as
he had expected them to. Two full
boatloads under his command assem-
bled on the deck and marched to the
boats assigned them. Arriving at
their station, they found both boats
had been destroyed.

The report from the Irish port
which also said army Identification

diers washed ashore bore no names
or numbers, making Identification
impossible, caused considerable spec
ulation. Army regulations require

confirmation of this report and Off
Gals declined to comment, it was
pointed out that the dispatch said
the soldiers had not been assigned
to definite units.
According to advices in the hands
of the war department the total miss

troop losses would prove very small.
According to figures given in earlier
press dispatches only 1o1 of those
aboard, including soldiers, members
of the crew and passengers, were
missing. This had led officials to
believe that with the heavy loss first
indicated among the crew, most
American soldiers had been saved.
No attempt was made so far to pre-
pare a list of the lost or missing. Only
the names of few survivors have
been received and indications today

DEATH RATE IN CHILE HIGH
Country Is Healthful and People Arc
Sturdy but Little Attention IS
Given to Matters of Hygiene.

IF due attention were given to the
most ordinary sanitary principles anu
hygiene the death rate in Chile W0nid
be extremely low in comparison WITH
that of most countries in South Amer
lea. In physique the Chileans are the
most sturdy race on the continent. LlH-
ing by the seashOre or mostly in the
open air in the rural districts, Il tine,
hardy manhood has been developed.
The highest death rate is in the towns
and cities, where dwelling houses lack
the most elementary appliances OF
sanitation. Smallpox and typhoid are
very prevalent and some years fearful
epidemcs break out. Pneumonia ana
tuberculosis are also prevalent.
But Chile's high death rate is main
ly accounted for by the heavy infantiiG
mortality from contagious diseases
The birth record of Chile is one of tbs
highest in the world, but the mean rate
Of increase in population by excess Of
births over deaths reduces it to one D?
the lowest in the world. Thus says
the Christian Herald, one of the most
hCalthful countries in the world re-
duces it's increase to minimum
through ignorance, carelesSneSS in the
treatment of children and the bad SAM
tary conditions in the dwellings Of the
working classes.
