Strawn, Texas, Feb. 25.-Some-
thing like 500 people gathered here
Sunday from neighboring towns in
a memorial service for Daniel W.
Trobridge and f. l.. Edmonson the
two Strawn boys who went down
on the ill-fated Tuscania on Feb. 5,
when that transport bearing Amer
lean soldiers was torpedoed by a
German submarine.
The services were conducted un-
der the jurisdiction of the Southern
Palo Pinto County Chapter OF the
American Red Cross. A large pa
rade was formed, led by the Thur
Der and Strawn brass bands, fol-
lowed by about 500 school children,

AMERICAN KILLED AT
TAMPICO BY MEXICANS
Doctor and Two Others Wounded
By Bandits.

Washington, Feb, 25.-One Amer
lean was killed and three were
wounded last Wednesday by Mexi-
an bandits on an oil boat at Tam
pico.
Edgar House, a paymaster for
the Texas Oil Company, was killed.
The wounded are J. P. S. Men
nett, DR.. Brisbane, an employe Of
the Island Oil and Transport Com
pany, and a third man named Pra-
ther. Mennett's wound is serious.
Officials regard the incident as a
case of robbery rather than an out
burst of anti-American feeling. The
boat attacked was carrying money,
probably in the Panuco river or one
Of the inland lagoons. So far as
known, the bandits were not con-
nected with any of the military for
ceS.
The government has called the in
cident to the attention Of the Mex
ican government.

HUGE SUMS FOR COAST
DEFENSE WILL NOT
NOW BE NECESSARY
InternationaI News service :

WASHINGTON. May L. .- Huge
appropriations asked for coast de-
fenses early in the year will not now
be needed. ordnance officers told the
appropriations committee of the
house today. This is taken to mean
that the fear of the submarine raids
on the large cities of the east which
led 10 the placing Of submarine nets
across the harbors early in the war
has now been put aside. on the
other hand the appropriations con-
templated for heavy ordnance for
use in France have been greatly
increased. Large appropriations
were asked for train mounts for
heavy guns and for searchlights to
be used at night in connection with
anti-aircraft guns.
The ordnance bureau is seeking
to have appropriations made now
for work that cannot be completed
within the next fiscal year, that will
take more than IS months to finish
There was some doubt in the minds
of the committee mem bers that
there appropriations could be made
in the fortifications bill soon 70 be
reported, since it is supposed to ap-
propriate only for the work of the
next fiscal year.
