Bile daring and skill of the rescuing
craft Even after the survivors had
reached the deck Of the destroyer
their position continued desperate,
Tor mountainous waves repeatedly
broke over the little vessel and, ac-
cordlng to reports, swept about thirty
persons overheard. Others were saved
from a similar fate by lashtng them
selves to torpedo tubes and the de-
stroyer's superstructure. For nearly
twelve hours the survivors, all wet
through and many badly injured were
exposed to the fury of the wind and
the waves until the destroyer made
port.
The Otranto was the flagship of a
large convoy, including the Kashmir,
which, as the result of heavy gale,
became unmanageable. A thick rain
closed in on the convoy Sunday morn
ing off the north coast of Ireland and
about 8 o'clock the Kashmir rammed
the Otranto amidships.

GROUP OF EIGHT
|, ILL OF INFLUENZA
Young Women Occupying the
| Same Sleeping Apartment
u Reported Stricken.

Eight young women, all war workers.
employed in various departments and
all sleeping in one large room. were to-
day reported stricken with influenza.
The physician who reported the cases
declined to give their names for publi-
cation. But he said that physicians.
many of whom are exhausted, will be
unable to cope effectually with the dis
ease until the crowded condition of the
city is relieved
THE question is asked, Why did not
the companions of these young women
leave her when they found she was af-
ficted?' said the physician. MY an
swer is, and theirs also, Where would
they go?'
1.-THE afflicted can't be isolated be-
cause there is no place in which to iso-
late them. Every house and every
apartment appears to be crowded to the
limit, many rooms occupied by half
dozen or more persons.
Disease Goes the Rounds.
when one in a room gets the COM
plant it goes the round of all. 1t is a
highly communicable disease, and the
man who is able to live where it pre-
walls without catching il is the excep-
ton to the rule What we are going to
do and how we are going to cope with it
with conditions as they are God alone
knows
Many young men and young women
return to their rooms from their
work in the evenings only to md
their roommates stricken down. They
are unable to find sleeping quarters
for themselves in any other part of
the house. Search of the neighbor-
hood fails to bring relief. So praying
that they might escape the affection
even in it's midst. they resign them
selves to the inevitable and continue
to occupy part of the infected quar-
tiers.
Many Leaving to Escape Plague.
Thousands of persons. it was stated
at the Treasury Department, the
railroad administration. the shipping
board and other governmental es-
adjustments, were leaving the city
on account of the plague. They may
not escape it even in their home
towns, but they will at least have
the care of their folks and comfort
able rooms to live in while undergo
ing suffering, it was pointed out.
The expense to the government in
bringing the workers here is enor-
nous in the aggregate. They must be
replaced with others at an equal and
perhaps even greater expense. But
in many of the departments it was
commended that it would be much bot
ter to take a number of activities
away from the capital than to run
the risk of much further trouble from
tho plague.
