There Boreas reigns, fierce god of wind

And winter all Of ve-dure into brown

And leaves no trace of life and beauty

Flies swift on wings of ardent love to

With gifts the friend, the lover or the

AS Winter closer draws his icy fettered

Illustrous months of most illustrious

Washington, Feb. 7..-The Brit ish admiralty places missing Am- CT. .n troops as 16S, while figures of the United States war depart menr, based upon reports so far received, estimates 267 United States soldiers are missing as re- suit of the sinking of the TusCania.
 British conveys were near the ship when she was tOTpedoed and closed in quickly doing heroic work in reScuing the men.
 Judging from the position of the TuSCania off the North coast of Ireland she was evidently headed for England. Her position also was such that numbers of British pa- troI boats and other vessels rushed with full speed to her aid and in that way the losses were minimized.
