They feel very hopeful about his progress. but are unable 10 say posiiive:y until to- morrow whether further operations will be necessary.
 4 sudden development of inflamma- tion in the inner left ear was responsi- ble for the hurried callihg of consul tation of specialists during the day. This resulted in the issuing of a state ment which. in effect, characterized the cOloners condition as ''esrioUs, but not critical"

 WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.- Railroads in 1917 earned about S9SS. .00O. .0O0. which is near the amount the govern ment will have to pay the roads this year as compensation under national operation. This was indicated by fig ures on revenues, expenses and in come Of all roads earning more than Sl.00O. .000 last year, available today in unofficial computations based on in terstate commerce commission reports for eleven months and an estimate for December.
 The sum the government will have to pay the roads under the bill pend ing in congress is estimated at S945.- 000, 900 by Chairman Smith of the sen ate committee having the railroad bill in charge
 Figures for 1917 show that if rail way income continues to decline as it has in recent months. the government will face a deficit in making its com pensation- payments. augmented by in creaSes in wages and the constantly rising cost materials and supplies.
 On the other hand, the railroad ad- ministration hopes to be able to cut operating expenses sufficiently and ecOnomize on charges necessary only under competitive conditions, to offset the declining income.

SUE ATTACKS SURVIVORS.
By Review Leased Wirel


 LONDON, Feb. That a German submarine endeavored to attack the destroyers while the latter were en- gagged in rescue work is the statement made by an American officer at an Irish port where a large number of men were landed. The officer said to a correspondent of the Associated Press:
 The thing that somehow impressed me most in the whole experience was the prOmptitude and precision with which the British naval men handled their craft under the trying conditions of rescue work This work had only just begun when there came the most exciting moments of the night.
 A U-boat from the curtain or blackness. behind which she was skulking, thought to finish the work by an attack on the destroyers. Three tOrpsdces were discharged in a few minutes at three destrOyers. and fl was only due to the watchfulness of the lOokOuts and the splendid seamOn- ship Of the British naval men that they failed 10 reach their targets
 This onslaught. however. revealed the approximate location of the enemy and a pair of destrOyers at once at- tacked with guns and bombs so ef- fectively so that even if the U-bC.at was not sunk it was afraid to show it. self again

HOW MEN WERE LOST.

By Review Leased wire)
 AN IRISH PORT. Feb. Most Of the Americans were lost through the Tuscania's sudden heavy blist alter being tOrpedoed. which caused faulty launching of the lifebOats.
 The German torpedo struck the Tuscania a vital blow amidship, eaus- ing her to list to starboard.
 instead of ploughing forward in this fashion. as most vessels do under the circumstances. the Tuscania stopped dead. A shiver ran through her. and she heeled over at dangerous level The list to s,arboard so elevated the lifeboats on the portside as to render them practically useless and only a few of the boats on that side were launched
 The first of these struck the water unevenly. capsiZing and throwing the occupants into the sea. After that several boats were launched success fully. but the vessels list became more perilOus and some. of the men who were trying to get into the boats from the starboard side no welimbed along the reck to the rail. to which they clug.
 Life Belts Donned.
 Many by this time had donned- life belts and jumped overheard. Hun dreds of others were preparing 10 fol- low this example when a British de stroyer boldly drew up right along side the Tuscania. When the men saw this many of them leaped from the boat and salon decks to that of the waiting destroyer This destroyer took off several hundred men, all she could carry, and moved away. She had come up along the starbOard side of the Tuscania.
 As she steamed away with her deck loaded down with Americans. another British destroyer emerged out of the darkness on the Tuscania's port. now high out of the water When the men on the doomed ship recovered from their surprise at this unexpected and skilful msneuvering of the British commander. theer was another scram- ble to reach the elevated port side. some of the men sliding down the in cline by the aid O. ropes. and others on their hands and knees.
 Men Behave Spiendidly.
 All the time this rescue work was progressing. cool heads were getting the few other life boats afloat. De- spite the many difficulties the crew behaved well and the oOolness of the American soldiers was the subject of oommendstion in affidavits by the boats officers.
