Giant Liner Submarined Off Irish
Coast With 22OO Soldiers Aboard

Washington, Feb. 6.-The Cunard
liner Tuscania, carrying 2,179 Ameri
can soldiers, has been torpedoed and
sunk off the Irish coast. Late to-
night 1912 survivors had been re-
ported.
The first news of the disaster came
il brief dispatch to the war depart
nent from London. Hope was built
here upon the fact that the survivors
were landed at two widely separated
Irish ports and indications that relief
vessels were at hand quickly.
The first report received in Wash
iEgton stated that only LOO surviy-
ors were accounted for. Later the
number was reported increased to
1912.
The soldiers on board the Tuscania
were small detachments from almost
every section of the country. There
was no distinctive military unit from
any state, and for this reason war
department officials state that 1t
would be impossible to announce a
list of those on board until complete
reports had been received.
Instructions were sent by wireless
ard cable by the war, navy and state
departments to their representatives
in England and Ireland, directing
! that every detail be forwarded at the
earliest possible moment.
At first, department officials
thought it would be unwise to pub
lish the list of soldiers on the ship
until the names of survivors could be
given, fearing it would cause unnec,
egsary anxiety on the part Of families
of the men saved.
Later, when it was pointed out that
delay in giving out the list woulC
give heartbreaking hours to nearly
every family in the country with {
hoy in the service, General Mcintyre
chief censor, announced that it hal
developed that it would be impossi
bic to give the names from the de
partment's records because there wa,
ro distinctive military unit on board
DetacIments Aboard.
The war department announced
that its records showed the following
were on board the Tuscania:
Headquarters detachment and com
panies D, E and F of the goth en-
gineers
10th engineers train.
10th engineers train.
10th military police.

Replacement detachments numbers
and of the 32nd division.
Fifty-one casual officers.
Trained i'm Texas.
The 32nd division is composed OF
national guard troops from Michigan
and Wisconsin. The division trained
at Camp Macarthur, Texas.
The 10th engineers was composed
of the 1st battalion of Michigan en-
gineers; the 10th military police
was made up from the 4th and 9th
Wisconsin infantry, and the 10th
supply train from the 4th, 5th and
9Th Wisconsin infantry.

The Tuscania was British passen-
ger and freight steamship of 14,S4S
tons gross register. She was built
at Glasgow in 1914 and was owned
by the Anchor line
The last report of the Tuscania
vas her arrival at an Atlantic port
on January II last.
The Tuscania, during her days as
passenger liner, was one of the best
equipped vessels in the transatlantic
service. She made her maiden voy-
age in February, 1915, and for time
was in the service of the British ad-
niralty, but later was restored to her
owners for regular service.
She was SGT feet long, with &C.
foot beam, and was equipped to carry
$500 passengers in cabin and steer
age accommodations The ship had
twin screws and speed of about IS
knots. On several occasions after the
war began she was the object of tor
pedo attack, but managed to escape
through her speed, assisted by de-
fense guns.
Near Irish Coast.
Buncrana, at which survivors
were landed, is located on Lough
Swilly, on the northern coast of Ire
land, 12 miles from Londonderry.
Lough Swilly is long, narrow bay,
running in from the Atlantic ocean.
Larne, where other survivors were
landed, is on the northeast coast of
ireland, 23 miles from Belfast. 1t is
a North Channel port.
The approximate distance by water
between the two ports is 100 miles.
For some time the Tuscania has
been under charter to the Cunard
line, and she is the fifth big vessel of
tine Cunard company lost since the
war began.
First Loss i'm Transport.
Although prior to January l of the
present year there were more than
| 100000 American troops in France,
according to the statement made by
Secretary Baker, the Tuscania was
the,first transport to be torpedoed on
the voyage from an American port to
France. Several American transports,
however, have been torpedoed on the
return journey, after having de-
barked troops
When the Tuscania was first put
into service her appointments for
rst-cabin passengers, of whom she
could carry $50, were sumptuous.
"he paneling of her main lounge
room was in olive wood, inlaid with
a line of sycamore. The floors were
of polished oak.
A veranda, cafe and gymnasium,
smoking room, dining room, dining
salons and a novel system of heating
and ventilation were features of the
new liner. The first and second class
staterooms were situated on the
bridge deck and shelter deck amid
SHIPS and were large in size and well
furnished.
1t is probable, however, in view of
the exigencies of the situation, that
the steamer had been stripped of
most of her luxurious fittings, in or
der to take as many troops as posi-
lie on each voyage.
