Concert at Y. Nj. Auditorium.
DR.. HI. Lester Smith Gave q
Real Rapid Fire Talk.

In spite of the fact that good
many of the boys were confined to
their barracks by various duties, there
was large sized audience out last
Sunday evening to attend the regular
Sunday evening program. 1t is esti-
mated that about 1900 men were in
attendance.
A very fine program was rendered
by the 354th Inf. band to open the
evenings program. That the band con-
cent was appreciated by the boys, was
manifested by their hearty applause.
The leader of the band deserves a
great deal of credit for the way in
which he handled the various pieces
played. Many outside organizations

SHIPS COLLIDE; 372
SOLDIERS PERISH
THE oTRANTo, AFTER COILS
ION, DASHED TO PIECES on
ROCKS OFF IRISH COAST.
DESTROYERS SAVES MANY
Of the $50 American Soldiers on
Board $40 Were Landed-17 Were
Rescued Alive at lslay, Leaving
372 Unaccounted For.

A British Port.-PIoSably 372 Amer
lean soldiers have been lost as the
result of the sinking of the trans
port Otranto in the north channel 90
tween the Scottish and Irish coasts
in a collision with the steamer Kasll-
mir.
The Otranto, after the collision,
was daahed to pieces on the rocks
off the south Scottish coast. Three
hundred and one men were taken to
Belfast by the British destroyer
Mounsey, the only vessel which mad
an attempt at rescue in the terrific
gale when the Kashmir, another YES
sci in the convoy, with the Otranto,
rammed the Otranto amidships. Sew
enteen men were picked up alive On
the Scottish coast
OF the 699 American soldiers on
board the Otranto, so were landed.
Seventeen were rescued alive at Is
lay, leaving 372 unaccounted for.
The Otranto and the other vessels
OF the convoy were battling with the
heavy seas and high winds Sunday
morning. The storm was so severe
and the visibility so bad that the
Kashmir, a former Peninsular ami
Oriental liner, crashed into the Otran-
10 squarely amidships.
The Kashmir backed away badly
damaged, but was able to make port.
AS the bows of the Kashmir were
pulled from the great hole in the
side of the Otranto. the water rushed
in, but for a time it did not stop the
engines. The Otranto tried to pro-
coed, but made no Roadway against
the gale in her crippled condition.
Within a short time the water put
out her fires and the Otranto drifted
helplessly toward the rocky coast OF
Islay Island, where most of the Tus-
cania victims met their deaths.
The Otranto struck the rocks Sun
day night south of Saligo Bay, lslay
Islann, an uninhabited section, where
the coast line in many places rises
straight out of the water to the rocky
peaks many feet above.
AS the destroyer neared the side
of the Otranto the men began to jump
from 80 to 40 feet from her decks.
The more experienced sailors Of the
crew Of the steamer had better sue
cess than the soldiers, many OF whom
had never seen the sea until Thu
trip.
AS the destroyer steered toward the
steamer, many of the men leaped too
quickly and dropped between the
boats. Some of these dropped in the
water, but others of them were caught
and crushed to death between the
boats and the lifeboats which had
been lowered to act as buffers. The
destroyer was badly battered.
