German U-BOat Sinks
First Z. S, Troop Ship

London, Feb. 7.-Dispatches
received late tonight from Ireland
show that only 1O1 persons were
still missing of the 2,397 carried
by the British transport Tuscania
when she was sunk Tuesday night
by torpedo, These figures have
served to lessen the shock of the
first news of the disaster.
The ship carried 2,156 United
States troops and 241 crew and
passengers.
The number of survivors is
given as 2,298, of whom 2,1O6
were troops and 1870 crew and
passengers, showidg so soldiers
and 81 others still missing.
Apparently complete discipline
reigned on board when the tor
pedo hit the Tuscania. The SOL
diers, it is said, lined up on the
deck and sang "My Country, 'Tis
Of Thee" and the "Star- -Spangled
Banner. Opposite to them the
British crew Justify raised the
tune of "God Save the King"
Washington, Feb 7.-Much
satisfaction is found by officials
here in the unofficial accounts OF
the destruction of the British liner
Tuscania by a German submarine
which showed that a destroyer,
presumably British, gave chase
to the raider and possibly sunk
her with a depth bomb.
There is no indication in the
less of the Tuscania that con-
centration of submarines against
American troop ship lines hal
been made. On the contrary, tn
efforts Of the German high com
mand still appear to be directed
primarily against the cargo Graf
bound for British ports.
AS the roll of missing from tn
Tuscania dwindled today, ex'
pressions of amazement wer
heard frequently that a crowded
transport could be torpedoed wit
such comparatively small loss 0
life. The nearness of rescu
craft. the fact that the vessel wa
afoat for two hours after a tol
pedo had exploded in her boile
rooms, and possibly the proxln
ity of the British coast all wei
factors in reducing the loss.

EVANS WILLING To PLAY
Movement Afoot to Have Red Cross
Golf Title Decided by
Point System.

Though there will be no champion
ships under the direction Of the United
States Golf Association this year, a plan
is on foot to decide an American Red
Cross champion. Chick Evans, national
open and amateur champion; Jim Barnes
of the Broadmoor Club Of Colorado
Springs. western. open champion, and
Jack Hutchinson OF Glen View have
agreed to take part in such a COMPETE
ton, and have decided to invite Francis
Oufmet. Jesse Guilfofd, Walter Hagen,
Oswald Kirby, Jerome Travers and sew
erai others to join them in the hunt for
the wartime title.
The plan Is to give each player so
many points for winning Red Cross
competition and to award the cham
pionship to the man with the greatest
number OF points at the end Of the
season. A victory over an eligible play
er is to count i've points ana the de-
feated golfer is to drop I'VE on his to-
tai. The lettering OF 4 course record
held by a ilon-eligibie player will mean
one point and the lettering OF record
established by an eligible expert will
mean three points. A victory over 4
player not in the Red Cross league is to
be worth one point. 1t appears to be
an interesting and laudable scheme and
it is to be hoped 1t will be put into ef-
feet. Ouimet and Guiiford may not be
able to take part, but there will be
many other available experts for such
an arrangement.
