Lost All Belongings.

The men lost all of their belong
ings, but were supplied with new
clothing at the different naval ports
where they were taken.
1t is believed that the American
soldiers missing from the Moldavia
were sleeping on the bottom deck and
were overtaken by the great thrush
of water after the explosion, when
they were trying to reach the main
deck. 1t is also presumed that some
of the ladders were destroyed
The vessel was struck below the
bridge. She steamed ahead for some
time after being struck and at first
it was hoped that her water-tight
compartments would enable her to
reach port.
Survivors agree that the Moldavia
was torpedoed and not mined. One
seamen said:
I'VE were proceeding up the
channel bound for an English port
early Tuesday morning. The weather
was fine and there was a bright
moonlight. We felt an explosion
midships. The ship had been struck
just below the bridge, but we could
see no submarine.
There were some destroyers con-
voying us and they at once scattered
around in search of the submarine.
Only one torpedo was fired.
when it was realized that we
should have to abandon the vessel
the destroyers came alongside to
take off the troops"

they shook hands again, each SEEM
ingly in the best of spirits.

BRITISH TRANSPORT
TORPEDOED.--S sinks
American Soldiers Aboard,
Sc Are Believed

London, May 2t-The British
armed merchant troop ship Moldavia
with American troops on board, has
been torpedoed and sunk, according
to an official bulletin issued by the
Admiralty this evening.
"The text of the Admiralty state
ment follows:
THE armed mercantile cruiser
Moldavia was torpedoed and sunk
There were no casualties among
the crew, but of the American troops
on board fifty-six up to the present
have not been accounted for 1t is
feared they were killed in one COM
partment by the explosion"
Torpcdoed without Warning.
The Moldavia was torpedoed with
out warning. II was a moonlight
night and although a good lookout
was kept, the attacking submarine
was not sighted before the torpedo
struck.
Most of the men aboard were in
their hammocks when the explosion
occurred amidships. The sailors and
soldiers alike showed no panic.
They fell calmly into line and
awaited orders. When it was seen
that the Moldavia was settling down,
all on board were taken off by the
escorting ships.

Big GUN MAKING
TO BE SPEEDED UP
Assistant Secretary OF
War To Have Full
Charge

Washington, May 25.-The re-
sponsibility for turning out big guns
and ammunition for big guns has
been placed on Edward II. Stettinius,
recently appointed as an assistant sec
rotary of war He is to be supreme
in this department of war activity,
just as Charles NJ. Schwab is supreme
in the building of ships and John ID.
Ryan in the manufacture of airplanes.
The ordnance bureau will not be
abolished, but everything 1t does
from this time on will be under the
supervision of Stettinius.
The object OF the secretary of war
in placing Stettinius at the h cad Of
the manufacture of heavy ordnance
il to speed up the making of b:g guns
the big gun industry must undergo a
complete reorganization, is the decree
of the powers that be.
The design for these guns, accord
ing to the best information obtain
aale. have all been worked out and
apparently are satisfactory, but the
facilities for making them are not at
hand II will be the business of the
new big gun dictator-and he will
actually be a dictator-to build up
an organization for the manufacture
of heavy ordnance.
Cucle sam To Build.
II will he necessary for the govern
ment to build an ordnance factory,
for there Is not factory in the coun-
try so II was said to-day, that is now
equipped to turn out the mammoth
guns Il is proposed to manufacture.
The department, of course. is unwill-
ing that information in regard TO the
size of the guns that have been de-
signed should be printed. II can be
said. however, that If the plans that
have been put on paper are carried
out this country will, in time, though
It may " year from now, be using
in France larger guns than are now
employed in the war.
II is believed that the appointment
OF Stettinius as the head of the heavy
gun-making industry will tend to re-
store confidence in Congress in this
branch of war activity.
Program Submitted.
The program submitted to the
House Committee on Military Affairs
Y program that calls for an enor-
nous expenditure of money for heavy
artillerN-will, it is now believed. re-
ceive favorable consideration at the
hands of the committee and finally
atGhe hands of Congress as a whole.
Members of'the general STAFF say pri-
vately that 1t is a fact that up to this
time our troops have not suffered for
the want of heavy artillery, but that
the time will soon come when they
will suffer unless heavy ordnance is
placed in their hands. As for the
manufacture OF small arms, including
the small Browning machine gun,
everything appears to be going salts
factorily. II is evident that the plac-
ing OF Stettinius is supreme charge of
the manufacture of heavy ordnance
will meet with general approval.
He will continue to serve as an as
sistant secretary Of war, but his
duties will be confined to this one
activity.
