Reports Say that 1900 Men Were Saved by British
Warships Conveying Vessel.
Paint Factory is Rapidly Being Fin.
ished and Will be Ready Shortly.

The new paint plant of the Excel
All Products company, which is being
constructed on the site given this COM
pany by the board Of trade is rapidly
nearing completion and will be ready
for use within very short time.
There is now very little left to be
done in finishing up the building. Heat
has been turned on, and the workmen,
who are now doing the interior work
are able to speed up 10 far greater
extent, than before. and the coming
two weeks will probably see the com
pletion Of this unit.
Since the recent meeting of the field
agents of the company in this city n
few weeks ago, it has been reported
that the increased sales, as a result
Of the sessions, are far better than
the company had expected This has
raised the expectations Of the com
pany greatly, and by the time the
building is ready it now hopes to have
three times the business that it had
anticipated at this time.

'ToRPEDOEO BY GERMAN
SUB NEAR THE IRISH COAST
Some Alma Men May Have Been
On The Ill-Fated Transport
Bound For Europe.

The Cunard Liner Tuscania, report
TO have been carrying 2,i79 United
States soldiers to Europe, was tor
pedoed and sunk off the Irish coast
Wednesday, according TO reports
which have been received. The SOL
diers on board are reported to have
been Michigan and Wisconsin Nation
al guardsmen, and it is reported that
267 Of these men besides the crew Of
the board are missing.
The troops were travelling on the
Tuscania, enroute to Europe and were
under convoy of British warships.
No reports have yet been received
as to the men who were saved or of
those who are reported to have lost
their lives, and it may be two or three
days before such reports are received,
but they will be given out just as
quickly as possible from Washington,
once they are received.
The men who were saved owe their
lives to the prompt work of the British
warships. which were conveying the
transport. They have been landed at
Buncrana and Larne on the Irish coast
and assistance is being rushed to
them.
II is not known whether any Alma
men were among the National guards
men who were on the transport, and
# any, the names will not be available
Tor several days yet.
The time Of the attack or,the nature
OF it has not been reported to the waf
department yet, but it is thought
that the vessel was torpedoed early
Wednesday morning.
At late hour Wednesday night
list Of the units on board was made
public by the war department. This
list follows:
Headquarters detachment and COM
panies ID, +, and + of the goth Engi-
neerS.
10th Engineer train, composed Of
lst Battalion of Engineers.
107th Military Police, from 4th and
9th Wisconsin National Guard.
10th Supply train made up from
4th, 9Th, and 9Th Wisconsin National
Guard
Tooth Aero Squadron.
l5Sth Aero Squadron.
2l3th Aero Squadron.
Replacement detachmcnts Nos
and of the 32nd Division, composed
of Michigan and Wisconsin National
Guard
Fifty-one casual officers.
From this list it is almost certain
that the greater part of the troops on
the ship were Michigan and Wisconsin
troops.
Washington hopes that as more re-
turns come in that the list of missing
will grow smaller, and that there will
be remarkably small loss of life.

LOSE COAL
Two Dealers Got Less Than Half Car
load When Shipments Arrived.

One Of the coal dealers of Alma
called the attention Of the Record to
shipment of coal which he received
the other day. and it was noted that
only a half carload Of coal was re-
ceived.
ceived. This shipment called for a
carload Of coal, weighing forty tons
and the dealer received only twenty
tons, when he received the car.
Another Alma dealer received a
carload of coal, supposed to have been
fifty odd tons of coal, and it was found
that he had less than one-third Of the
ocal which he had consigned to him in
the car.
In these days of coal scarcity, when
everyone seems to be after coal. it is
evidently some JOY to be coal dealer,
and be forced TO make a half or third
of a carload serve just as many people
as though it was all there, and to
hand il out by the hundred pounds or
Sc, instead Of by the ton.
