soldiers assembled on the deck of the
Tuscania when the torpedo struck the
liner and marched to the boats as
signed them. Arriving at their sta

been destroyed.

composure until a destroyer came
alongside and effected the transfer
from the gradually sinking ship.

LOCAL RED CROSS
DOING GOOD WORK

The miscellaneous box of sewing
which was shipped last week from the
sewing rooms of the Red Cross was

ters of the Pacific division at San
Francisco filled with surgical dress
ings.
The ladies are working every after
noon from to and every eveing
