VESSELS LOST
DURING FIGHT

NEW YORK, Feb. Fifteen
cargo ships with dead weight ton
mage of 103,692 we're lost during
1918 by the Naval Overseas Trans
portation Service. according to re-
port made public today by the Dis.
trict Supervisor of the Third Naval
, District. The removal Of the ban of
secrecy, vital during the war as a
shield to these vessels and their crews
discloses that six ships. aggregating
42,627 tons, were destroyed by enemy
activity, five vessels with combined
tonnage of 44.071 tons, were sunk in
collisions and four vessels. totaling
1894 tons were destroyed by fire
and explosion.
The report traces the growth Of
the Naval Overseas Transportation
Service since the time of its organl-
zation late in 1917 and describes
the part played by it in transporting
food, munitions and supplies for
troops and naval vessels abroad. Sew
enty-two ships were originally as
signed to this service and when the
armistice was signed. November II,
1918, the cargo fleet numbered 453
vessels, including 106 ships ready to
be taken over.
Crews of navy cargo ships are said
to have endured the greatest hard
ships of the war. Their lives con-
stantly endangered. they faced the
perils of the deep. the menace of an
unseen foe, the danger of collision
and the liability to instant death by
accidents from inflammable' cargoes.
1t is on record that a convoy of
fifty ships from New York was disin-
tegrated by violent storm in mid
Atlantic and that only two of the en-
tire number reached France under
convoy. Every ship for herself" the
forty-eight others by luck, pluck and
constant vigil all finally dropped
their anchors in the protected harbors
of their destination.
Not only were these crews con-
fronted with the normal perils of the
sea- says the report "bdt they faced
destruction from torpedo. collision
and other unforeseen accidents that
might cause fire in inflammable car
ges. 1t takes brave men to steam
week in and week out thru submar-
ines and mine-infested waters at
eight knots an hour in a ship loaded
with several thousand tons OF depth
charges, T N T or poison gas. not
knowing what minute the whole
works IL going to be blown to King
dom Come -.
The value of a cargo ship Is realiz-
ed when it is known that under exis,-
ing war conditions each ship cost to
operate 800 every hour. Good, bad
and Indifferent ships, old or new,
fast or slow. were transformed by the |
magic of.naval energy into serviceable
craft. UnromantIc rusty tramps were |
created intOsmodels of efficiency by |
the halo Of a dazzling camOuflage.
The personnel of the Naval Over
seas Transportation Service at the
present time includes 5000 officers
and 1000 enlisted men,

Spoozg are the fashion. Since the
advent Of the Americans, they've been
booming. When American doughboys
and jaclzies came over here en- masse
they were at first painfully surprised
at the dearth OF bathrooms, but their
enthusiasm about the rustic Of the
ghosts iu the rafters soon overcame
the feeling Of disappointment.
Today the newly married couple

property By marrying a Rushbrooke
heiress.
RushbrooSe has a moat IN which
