TRIES TO ENLIST;

And DIDN'T KNOW

Here's a novel case of Stacking
on the part Of Jonn Nelson Of La
porte, which came to light when he
was asking If he couldn't get into
the service and fight for Uncle Sam,
and John will be accommodated.
Nelson is ~ years old and was in
Valley City, NJ D., when registra-
tion day happened. He was in quar-
antine with three others who had
scarlet fever and hence was unable
to register After the quarantine
was lifted he hadn't registered and
was unaware of the predicament he
was in until he came to Bemidji.
John entered the recruiting Of
flee with a friend who enlisted and
Nelson asked Corporal Foucault II
he couldn't enlist. also. Then 1t de-
veloped what had happened to the
young man. He was advised to 60
back to his district and register. and
await the call. !.

Transfer s. Ship

Washington, FEB. 8.-The Tua-
cania, Cunarder of 8,621 net tons,
was last reported in available mari
time records as at United States
Atlantic port on Oct. 10, 1917. It is
presumed that since that time she
had been employed In transporting
American troops to Europe.
The Tuscania was a British pas
senger and freight steamship of A.
34S tons gross register. She was
built at Glasgow in 1911 and was
owned by the Anchor Line.
& The last report of the Tuscania
was her arrival at an Atlantic port
Jan. IT last. -
The Tuscania during her days as
passenger liner was one Of the best
equipped vessels in the trans-Atlan-
tic service. She made her maiden
voyage in February, 1915, and for
time was in the service of the Brit
ish admiralty, but later was re-
stored to her owners for regular
service.
N She was 567 feet long with &C.
foot beam and was equipped to carry
$500 passengers in cabin and steer
age accommodations. The ship had
twin screws and speed OF about IL
knots. On four occasions since the
war began she was the object of tor
pedo attack but managed to escape
through her speed assisted by de-
fense guns.
For some time the Tuscania has
been under charter to the Cunard
Line and she is the fifth big vessel
Of the Cunard company lost since the
war began. -s
Although prior to Jan. 1 Of the
present year there were more than
100000 American troops in France,
according to the statement made by
Secretary of War Baker, the Tusca-
mia was the first transport to be tor
pedoed on the voyage from an Am
erican port to France. Several Am
crican transports, however, have
been torpedoed on the return jour-
.ney, after having debarked troops.
