Londonderry, Ireland, Feb. THE
submarine which torpedoed the Tus-
cania, was attacked by a destroyer. An
American officer gave an indication
that the submarine was destroyed.
This officer was next to last to leave
the Tuscania. He gave the Associated
Press a vivid account of the disaster.
The second torpedo fired by the sub
marine missed its mark, he said.
Thereupon destroyer which was near
the sinking liner dashed off toward the
submarine, using a mb-dropping de-
vice. The claim is made that the sub
marine was done in by the bombs thus
exploded.
The American officer said:
Everything went we'll with us dur
ing the voyage. Many of our men had
never been to sea before and I must
say they stood it like soldiers.
I'VE were one of powerful convoy"
The behavior of the greater part OF
the soldiers and members of the crew
was splendid. A few of them became
excited, hindering the lowering of the
boats. In some cases entire crews
were thrown out while the boats we're
being lowered Other boats were let
down hurriedly on men who were
swimming around the liner. Many
casualties. were occasioned in this way.
81 must not tell you our position in
the convoy or how the various ships
were formed, but you may take it that
all the other boats have got through as
far as know. AS for ourselves, we'll,

fraction of our fine fellows, in addition

Van Wyck, 500; Lancaster r. F. ID.

due to the faithful efforts of the en-
thusiastic workers throughout the

the Germans COnfining Ac

With Russia in the grasp of in
ternecine strife and her battle line
denuded of men as n result of the
peace declaration Of the bOlsheviki,
Germany already has begun the car
ryinS out of her threat OF invasion
because Of the failure OF the boil
sheviki to sign peace compact with
the central powers. a dispatch
from Berlin announces that German
troops have crossed the Dvina river.
Reports eminatinS from Sweden
say that the Germans have begun
pushing forward their troops into
Russia's two remaining Baltic prov
inces-Esthonia and Livonia-the
taking of which completely isolated
Russia from the shores of the Baltic
and give the enemy, in addition to
the port OF Riga, the city of Veval,
situated on the Gulf of Finland on
posite Helsingfors, whence they
easily might operate against Petro-
grad by sea.
Although AustriaHungary had
shown dissatisfaction over the stand
that Germany has taken toward
Russia, the dual monarchy evidently
has been placated by promise of
Germany that any German military
activity will be confined to northern
Russia. and Australia left to
deal with whatever other problems
may arise in the territory adjacent
to her borders.
Belated dispatches from Petro-
grad tell of the capture of Kiev, the
new capital of Ukraine, by the boil
sheviki The fighting is described as
having been of an extremely SAN
culinary character, 1000 persons
having been killed and several thou
sand wounded. Great destruction
was wrought in the town by shells
and explosives dropped by aviators.
