Miss Charlotte Boyle Is
Sensation at Title Swin1
New York Girls Work at
Detroit Startles
Observers

Miss Charlotte Boyle, of the New
York Women's Swimming Association,
proved the sensation of the first ma
tional championship water carnival of
the season, held last week in Detroit
When her entry was received for the
women's 500-yard title swim experts
overlooked it completely, for she had
never competed at a distance longer
than the furlong, and it was hardly
thought possible a girl with only ten
months experience in the racing field
would have the least chance against
the famous mcrmaids booked for the
event.
SO it was with absolute amazemcnt
that those who attended the meet saw
the local star take the measure of Miss
Thelma Darby, Of indianapolis, ana
finish bare touch behind Miss Olga
Dorfner, of Philadelphia, both credited
with worlds record speed at 500 yards.
But what seemed most to impress COM
pctcnt judges was the remarkable form
displayed by Miss Boyle
All admitted they have never seen a
fair natator with such a perfect stroke,
and several expressed the belief that
the home girl will very soon attain in.
ternational laurels. SO interested were
these solons in Miss Boyle's work that
they hardly noticed the brilliant and
conclusive victory in the race of the
latter's team mate, Miss Claire Cali

DETROIT, Feb. 7.-According to dis

deimltciy announced at division head
quarters in the Texas camp that not

fated liner Tuscania is an all Michigan
organization, although possibly three
hundred Michigan men were scattered
through several of these outfits desig-
mated by the War Department.
The number three hundred is not
given as absolutely correct, but is
the best available. 1t is believed that
there were more than LOCO Wisconsin
officers and men on the ship. Among
them were about five hundred Polish
soldiers from Milwaukee and other Bad

BELFAST, Ireland, Feb. 6.-The
Liner Tuscania, torpedoed last night as
she was preceding as one unit of a

no sight of the submarine that sank

her full amidships. Immediately after

pass her stern. She immediately took

vessel, however, prevented the proper
lowering of the lifeboats, and MANY
men jumped into the water
Many of the casualties occurred
during the lowering of the lifeboats
from the upper deck.
The survivors, on landing. were re-

Several bodies were brought ashore

OF Transports S Loss

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.--Latest Off
clal advices to the War Department to-
night accounted for all except 113 of
the 2,156 American soldiers who we're
on board the British liner Tuscania
when a submarine sent her down Tues
day night off the Irish coast.
This figure was not final, and high
hopes that the loss of life would prove
much smaller were built upon cabled
press dispatches saying just 101 men,
most of them members of the crew,
were missing among the entire force of
soldiers, sailors and passengers.
No attempt was made tonight to
prepare a list of the lost or missing.
Only Il few names of survivors had
been received, and the indications were
that it would be impossible to an
nounce them all before tomorrow at
the earliest The rescued were landed
at. widely separated Irish and Scotch
ports, and while all reports tell Of
elaborate arrangements for their care
and comfort, urgent instructions to
representatives of the War, State and

the disaster and a complete record of
the saved be sent at the earliest pos

Baker issued this statement to-day:
"rhe sinking of the Tuscania

1t is fresh challenge to the civil

families of those who have suffered
loss; they also unite US to make
more determined our purpose to

they will be given to the public in

were among the passengers, slid
down the ropes into boat, laughing
and joking as they went.
-Four hospital cases, two of ty.
phoid and two of pneumonia, we're
rescued safely and brought to shore
without ill effect. This is, perhaps,
the best indication of the order that
prevailed.
Men who were rescued from the
icy water suffered terribly before
they were taken from the lifeboats.
In one such craft, three died from
the effects of exposure. Most of the
survivors who were injured appar-

members of the crew Of the torpedoed

Without panic and in splendid order

hampered by the tremendous list of the
liner. One or two of the first series of

lowered After their occupants had
been thrown into the water other boats
were let down right on top of them,

On the arrival of the survivors here
many were removed to hospitals, but
great majority of the men were lodged

to them by volunteers working under

soldiers also were fitted out with warm
clothing and given other comforts.
There were many pitiable scenes, a

Especial Correspondence |


MILWAUKEE,, Feb. 7. =. The tor
pedoing of the Tuscania has given the
people of Milwaukee and of Wisconsin
heavy shock which, ht we1er, has
been growing lighter with the passing
hours. They staggered under the first
report which indicated that LOO SOL
diers, mostly Wisconsin men, had gone
down with the ship, but the tension
was relieved when later reports cut
down this loss finally to about fifty
The tragedy, however, has done mucn
to open the eyes Of Wisconsin, which
has been quite largely the theatre of
pacfism, to the, fact that we are at
war and are facing wars stern reali-
ties.

They grieved over the sacrifice, but
it made them stronger, not weaker
Their thoughts naturally turned to the
disloyal among them, those who put

solved to watch them more closely and
to forget them and block their aims
and plots. They have been very pa
tlent, very tolerant, and they purpose
to respect the law, but they strongly
resent backfiring at Wisconsin and
other American troops who have gone
to the front, and other attempts to
cripple the nation. Their feeling, how
ever, does not run as it would have
done had early reports of loss of life
following the Tuscania's sinking been
verified.
"The Journal" says editorially:
"Tragedies like this of the Tuscania
must make it clear to every organiza-

world and of civilization Do these
breeders Of discomfort among us, these
false-hearted Americans, these half
hearted supporters of the enemy. need
still more warning?"
Governor f. j. Philip tonight is

state, part of which read: "To the
wives and children, mothers and faith

who have been lost | offer the sim

I'VE must accept the loss with the
same courage with which the men
gave up their lives and prepare our
selves to meet the sacrifices we shall
be compelled to make in the future

Tonight the Governor wired Secre-
tary of War Baker, appealing that the
names of all Wisconsin men among the
missing be released at once to end
the anxiety of relatives of soldiers.
