According to early reports, the u

aboard the transport vessels or by the

New York. Feb. S.-The number of
German submarines working at any

been surprisingly small, according to

correspondent of the Associated Press

During the early part of the winter
the number of submarine raiders at
work in the zone varied from twelve
to a maximum of eighteen.
1t was then expected, however,
that the Germans would endeayor to
increase this number, largely a

Washington, Feb, S.-Heatless Mon
days have been suspended in all states

of the American troops. So far as is
known. 70 American destroyers were
in the convoy, participated in the res
cue or were in the vicinity at the time
of the tragedy.
Baker Justifies Delay.
There was some tendency today to
criticise the war department for hold
ing up news of the disaster nearly five
hours before giving it out Wednesday
night. The fact that the Tuscania had
sent s. O. S. calls was known here in
diplomatic quarters shortly after noon
Wednesday, and the war department
is understood to have received its first
word from General Pershing between
4 and O'Clock.
Secretary Baker justified delay in
the announcement on the ground that
he had tried confirmation of the at
tack from navy department officials
abroad. Confirmation had been re-
ceived in diplomatic quarters here,
however by o'clock that afternoon.
