WHAT SOME METHODIST
CHURCHES ARE DOING
FOR SOLDIERS IN CAMP

In most of the encampments in the
South our Methodist churches have
found plenty of service for busy
hands and loving hearts.
At Camp Arthur in Waco, Tex,
there are two Methodist tabernacle
and splendid pastor for each one.
At Camp Gordon in Atlanta &C
tivities are perhaps better organized
than any where else, except, perhaps,
Camp Shelby, at Hattiesburg, Miss.
The Y. M. c. A. at Camp Gordon
requested the different churches to
furnish huts in the Camp for social
and recreational work. These huts
have been furnished and made warm
and attractive. Groups of mature
women have mended and darned the
soldiers clothes in these huts and
have "mothered' the boys. Hospital
committees have been appointed to
visit the sick and convalescent, carry
flowers and read aloud to the conva-
lescents. Sunday School rooms at
the different churches have been turn
ed into reading rooms for the SOL
diers. There they find books, writing
material, comfort and cheer. "Take
a soldier home to dinner" has been
faithfully followed, while hospitality
to- the wives and mothers of the SOL
diers has abounded.
At Greenville, S C., our Methodist
women have worked faithfully with
our soldier boys, while at Macon,
Houston, Tex. Little Rock, Ark, and
San Antonio, Tex, Methodist women
have given much time and energy to
this service.
Missionary Pageant.
Miss Marjorie Barlow, of New
York, who is to prepare the Mission
airy Pageant for the great celebration
at Columbus, Ohio, in June, 1919, has
been in the South to study the work
of our home field. She visited Nash
vile, San Antonio, holding institutes
at Laredo and other places where
we have Wesley Houses. She is now
in Mexico and will later visit the
work of all the Methodist churches
in the Orient.

MAJORITY OF THE
MISSING BELONG
TO ships CREW

London, Feb 1.-The loss of life
on the Tuscania is now estimated at
only l0l. This total is given in a
dispatch from correspondent of the
Associated Press in Ireland, and
subsequently was confirmed by the
American embassy.
At one point there are $50 survivors
eight of whom are in hospital. At
another point there are 1850 survi-
vors, eighty of them in hospitals. A
number of survivors, including the
second officer of the Tuscania, were
landed at Scottish port.
The majority of the missing were
members of the crew.
The Tuscania was torpedced on
Tuesday night and remained afoat
for two hours after being hit.
Survivors report that two torpe-
does were fred. The first passed
astern of the vessel. The second
struck in the vicinity of No. / boiler.
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 the entire
crews were thrown out while the
boats were being lowered. Other
boats were let down hurriedly on men
who were swimming around the liner.
Many casualties were occasioned in
this way.
Victims Condition Was Pitiable
The condition of some of the sur
Vivors of the Tuscania was pitiable
Many had cast aside their clothes
and had been swimming about for
two hours before being rescued.
Three men from the Tuscania died
from exposure in one boat.
The following official communica-
ton was given out early this after
noon before subsequent reports de-
creased the death list:
THE Cunard liner Tuscania, Cap
tain ]. L. Henderson, was torpedoed
on the night of the fifth of February
off the Irish coast while carrying
United States troops.
Following are the approximate
numbers saved:
United States military officers, 70;
men, 1885.
Grew, officers, 16; men, Us.
Passengers, 3.
mot specified, 81.
The total number aboard, 1897.
Total saved, 2,187.
"The foregoing are approximate
figures, but as correct as can be given
at present.
Women volunteer nurses at Larne
attended to slightly injured men.
Wards were improvised in hotels.
Thirty seriously injured men were
dispatched to local hospitals, where
