Collision is Confirmed

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-A brief cablegram, containing only the bare confirmation of the sinking in the North Channel last Monday of the British steamer Otranto, laden with American troops, was the only official news of the disaster reaching the war department today. Loss of the vessel, the message stated, followed a colli- sion with another ship in the same con- voy.
 The cablegram gave no estimate of the number of soldiers who were miss

ing. In the absence of specific informa- tion as to what units had been assign- ed to the Otranto at the port of em- barkation, General March, chief of staff, declined to make public the units which had sailed. Publication of this list, it was said, would bring needless anxiety to relatives of the men who were on the other ships of the convoy and who now are safely landed.

bad FOR
DEAR germany"

With the American Army on the
Lorraine Front, Sept. 20.-Fear lest
the Americans would advance and
overwhelm them, bitter complaint
and dependency are the keynotes of
letters written home by German SOL
diers and found when they were cap
tured.
1T looks very bad for Jul dear
Germany" writes one soldier to his
wife. "Who knows whether the
Americans will break through? This
morning we again were on the alert
and thought the Americans were go
ing to attack. but nothing has hap
pened as yet"
Another soldier wrote he felt
worse than a dog. He declares that
ever dogs have kennels to sleep in,
while he must lie in the open in rain
and mud. "If the Americans attack
they will be in Metz in two days. The
men are so embittered, they only
want the war to end, no matter how"

AMERICANS CON-
SOLIDATE lines

London, Sept. 20. - American
troops are engaged in consolidating
their new lines across the bases of
the ST. Mihiel salient which was
wiped out by them last week. The
Germans are reported to be feverish-
ly working to strengthen their lines
in this sector, but it seems improb-
able that a new American assault
will be made at once in this region.
1t now appears that the successful
drive of the Americans was for the
purpose of wiping out the st. Mihiel
salient, which stood as a menace to
the flank of the Americans in Lor-
raine and the French in Champagne
in case either should attack.
Marshal Ferdinand Foch has pin
ned down large bodies of the enemy
forces in widely separated parts OF
the line. The Germans are forced to
man their lines heavily from before
Metz clear down through the Lor-
raine and Vosges sectors, while there
is always a very real threat at their
vital positions north of Laon. In the
meantime the line from Rheims to
verdun always presents itself as an
inviting field for an Allied offensive.
