TuScania Disaster
to Solid;fy America in
Pro. ecutios, of Wa,

London, Feb. s. That the sinking Of
the Tuscapia will stipulate the United
States to greater efforts In behalf OF
the fight for democracy is the editorial
opinion expressed in morning hews-
papers.
Satisfaction is expressed and cons
gratulations extended that this, the
first disaster to the American trans
ports, will show the fallacy. OF the Ger
mans that the U-boat will prevent the
transfer OF troops to Europe.
Some Of the editors say the sub
marine menace remains serious
menace and the allies must devote all
their energies to meet the imperative
need to keep the Atlantic routes open.
The Express says:
The Americans have dsded the pi-
rates all these months And we are
convinced that the sorrow and anger
which the loss OF life on the Tuscania,
will occasion will only steel the hearts
OF the people to persevere. There is
nothing in the incident to occasion
alarm but it constitutes warning to
us and to the Americans to concen-
trate in defense on the Atlantic.
"A thousand men Will step forward
to fill the gap left by the dead" says
the Daily Mail. Americans look the
task straight in the fact and dangers
and even disasters viii only serve to
strengthen them"
The Daily Express declares the
U-boat did a bad days work for Ger
many. It adds:
Remember the Tuscania' will be
the battle cry Of victory"

lHeboats on starbeard Side.
London. Feb. 81 Sergt. E. c. Du-
buque and Sergeant Muller, both Of
Brooklyn. were rescued from a raft by
a coastins schooner. The sergeants
say that the Tuscania took tremen
idous list to starboard- almost as soon
as it was hit. Almost all the lifeboats
on that side were either blown into
the air or otherwise made useless.
a The soldiers were Immediately lined
up, and while standing at attention, as
one man. began to sing my Country
yTis Of Three" and The Star Spangled
Banner : The crew, which lined up
on the opposite side, sang God Save
the King"
His Own Boat Shattered.
Sergeant Dubuque said the boat to
which he had been assigned was shat
tered by the explosion. He clambered
over to the port side the best way he
could and was placed in boat with
ten or twelve other men.
When they had been lowered about
half way down, the ropes became dis
arranged. They were all thrown into
the water. There was rather heavy
sea, but the sergeant was able to swim
to the stern OF the liner and climbed
on a raft. There he found Sergeant
Muller.
4 Sergeant Dubuque said he saw many
men in the sea. Collapsible RATS were
thrown overheard to enable those who
were struggling in the water to save
themselves. Some Of these RATS
struck loaded boats. The sergeant said
he believed quite a number Of men
must have been killed in this way.
The sergeant and others on the raft
were at the point Of collapse when
picked up, but they soon recovereu.
They are under the care Of DR.. Lang
ers OF New York, who has been in the
United States service for some time.

/ With the American Army in France,
Feb. s.-American artillery and infan-
try have succeeded in clearing out the
snipers who have caused much trouble
since the Americans occupied the first
lire trenches. American sharpshooters
have routed snipers in shell holes and
shelters have been destroyed by artil-
lery.
Last night small patrol entered an
advanced German trench in search Of
snipers. "A lieutenant, corporal and
1.-TWO men lett rneriean wire and
lreturned hve hours later. They walked
/ across ..no mans land" and reaching
! the enemy wire crawled thru It eau
tiously. The men looked into the first
line trench, which apparently was
abandoned, but they were sure snipers
were there. They dropped down noise-
lessly and found fresh foot prints. On
the parapet the corporal found load
ed rifle. There was not q German
| around. The corporal brought back
the rife.
It is typical German weapon, made
In Beflin and in good condition. At an :.
other point snipers were found in a
shell hole.A few well placed shots from
light artillery ended their career.
One, two or possibly more snipers
posts are still in front Of the Ameri-
can positions but they are not likely
to be there long.
