VtyiHhington, Feb. 7. — The first
American troop transport bound
abroad has been sunk by a German
submarine. Approximately 267 Amer
ican soldiers perished when the ship
went down, while 1,912 or more were
rescued.
The transport sunk was the Tus
canla, a Cunard liner lent to the
United States by the British govern
ment, which carried 2,179 American
soldiers as passengers, but was con
voyed like a regular transport.
The scene of the disaster was off
the northern coast of Ireland, the sur
vivors being landed by the vessels of
the convoy at two neighboring Irish
ports, fifty miles apart.
The military units aboard the trans
port were:
Headquarters detachment and com
panies D, E and F of the Twentieth en
gineers.
One Hundred and Seventh engineer
train composed of men from the First
battalion of Michigan engineers and
the First battalion of Wisconsin engi
neers.
One Hundred and Seventh military
police from the Fourth and Sixth Wis
consin National Guard infantry.

train, formerly from the Fourth, Fifth
and Sixth Wisconsin infantry.
One Hundred and Fifty-eighth aero
squadron.
Replacement detachments No. 1 and
No. 2 of the Thirty-second division
(Michigan-Wisconßin) with fifty-one
casual officers.
The information so far received does
not indicate what members of these
units were lost and what members
saved. Only extreme meager informa
tion had been received up to 2 o'clock
this morning.
The American ambassador’s infor
mation was embodied in the following
statement issued by the State Depart
ment:

THE RED GROSS REPORTS
ORGANIZATION ACCOUNTS FOR
MONEY ENTRUSTED TO IT
To Date $79,450,727.35 Has Been Ap
propriated for Relief Work—
Criticisms Answered.
Western Newspaper Unton News Service.
Washington, Feb. 4. What the
American Ked Cross has done with
the vust sums of money entrusted to I
it by the people of the United States !
is stated in detail in a report issued !
by the national headquarters. To
date, $79,450,727.35 lias been appropri
ated for relief work ill this country
and abroad.
For foreign relief $44,G57,795 lias
been appropriated as follows: Fraifce,
$30,519,259.60; Belgium, $1,999,631;
Russia, $751,940.87; Rumania, $2;G17,-
398.76; Italy $3,146,016; Serbia, $871,-
180.76; Great Britain, $1,703,642; oth
er foreign countries, $2,536,300; Am
erican soldiers who may be taken
prisoner, $343,627.
The foregoing appropriations arc
from the time the United States en
tered the war until April 30, 1918. For
the United States the Red Cross, has
appropriated $2,612,532.60 and the rea
son this sum is not larger is because
the government provides nearly ev
erything our army and navy needs,
and besides, there is no civilian dis
tress in this country of any consider
ably proportions.
The great variety of the military
and civilian relief work being done
by the Red Cross is indicated briefly
in the following list: canteens that
afford food, baths and sleeping quar
ters for men at the front; rest sta
tions and recreation centers for sol
diers in transit and at port of arriv
al in France; care of destitute chil
dren; furnishing supplies to 4,000 hos
pitals; teaching mutilated soldiers
new trades; reconstruction of vil
lages; bringing together families of
soldiers scattered by the war; farms
for convalescent soldiers; sanitariums
for tubercular aud other patients;
food, clothing, medicine, and shelter
for the homeless and destitute; and
other activities too numerous to men
tion.
It is stated by the National War
Council that all salaries and admin
istrative expenses are paid out of
membership dues so that every penny
given to the Red Cross War Fund has
been spent for relief. This answers
the rumors that have been circulated
about the expenses of operation.
Out of 255 executives in the four
teen divisional offices of the Red
Crosß in the United States, 59 per
cent, are women. The policy is to se
lect the most competent person re
gardless of politics, sex or religion.

SOCIALISTS SAY WHOLE COUN
TRY, MAYBE ALL HUMANITY,
DEPENDS ON ENDING WAR.
ASK NO INDEMNITIES
SOCIALIST PRESS GAGGED AND
LEADERS JAILED IN FIGHT
TO END STRIKE.
Copenhagen, Feb. 4. —A copy of a
pamphlet issued by the independent
Socialists, which reached Copenhagen,
shows that the strike in Germany was
prepared by them. The pamphlet
points out that the Pan-Germans have
brought the peace negotiations and
the future of Germany into great dan
ger.
Admiral von Tirpitz, leader of the
Fatherland party, after an interview
with the imperial chancellor, declared
that he was satisfied wjth the govern
ment’s plans concerning the east. Such
a declaration, says the pamphlet,
proves that the government is in col
lusion with the advocates of violence,
and just at this moment the Reichstag,
the only place where the annexation
Ist policy could be attacked, is closed
and other means of criticism made im
possible by the government.
“Our press is gagged, our comrades j
are imprisoned, and the factories to a ,
still greater extent are materialized," !
continues the pamphlet.
“Men and woraeil of the working
ciasses, there is no time to lose! After
the horrors and horrible suffering we
have ’undergone, a new and frightful
threatens our people—yes.
e\ en the v hole of humanity.
“Only p peace without indemnities
can save us, and the hour has coin' 1
when you must raise your voice for
such i\ peace.”
The pnmphlet is signed by Edouard
Bernstein, Hugo Haase, Wilhelm Ditt
man, Geo-ge Ledebour and other
leaders.
Amsterdam. —The Rhenische West
falische Zeitung publishes a Munster
dispatch dated Feb. 1, reproducing a
f-roclamation issued by the deputy
commanding general, in which he
says:
“Germany is face to face with her
hour of destiny. Her enemies have
abandoned hope of victory by arms
and are now trying to sow dissension
in our ranks.
“I raise my warning voice and ask
you to consider what will happen if
our front begins to totter. Political
resistance must and will, in all cir
cumstances, be smashed. Germany
must not experience such conditions
as the Russian revolution produced.’’
The worst disturbances were in the
Moabit Dill, where crowds of strikers
attempted to overturn street cars. The
police intervened aud were resisted
by the strikers, collisions occurring.
There were stormy scenes also in
North Berlin, and in East Berlin
youths and girls crowded the streets,
climbed on street cars and wrested
the controllers from the motormen or
overturned the cars.

Paris. —The Petit Parlsien began
publication of German official docu

paper to establish that the war was
premeditated and preorganized by the
Berlin authorities. The documents
were brought to France by a “famous

from a celebrated Russian revolution

said, as iheir publication would endan

Washington, Feb. 6. —The largest
deficiency appropriation bill in the
history of the United States, carrying
between $1,500,000,000 and $2,000,000,-
000, including huge suma for aviation
and for the army and navy, was com
pleted by the House appropriations
subcommittee. Secretary Baker asked
Congress for $13,211,180 more for con
struction of army quartermaster
storehouses in the Panama canal zone
during the next fiscal year.
Ten months of the war have cost
the United States about $7,100,000,000
—at the rate of $710,000,000 a month,
nearly $24,000,00 a day.
Of this sum $4,121,000,000 has been
paid as loans to the allies, and the
balance, about $3,000,000,000, repre
sents America’s outlay for Its own
war purpoaes, exclusive of more than
$600,000,000 for ordinary government
al expenses.
The war’s total In money is increas
ing at the rate of more than $100,000,-
000 a mouth, and indications now are
that tile two remaining months of the
firct year will run its war bill to near
ly $10,000,000,000, of which $5,000,-
000,000 will be for allied loans and
about the same amount for army,
navy, shipping board and other war
agencies.
Before last April the monthly oper
ating expenses were about $75,000,000
and toe total annual expenses reached
only a little more than $1,000,000,000.
Then came the war. In the first
month, May, 1917, expenses jumped to
$114,0-0,000; in June to $134,000,000;
in July to $208,000,000; In August to
$277,000,000; In September to $349,-
000,000; by October the monthly out
lay had Novem
ber, $512,000,000; December, $611,000,-
000, and last month they were $715,-
000,000. In the first five days of this
month the government has spent $150,-
000,000.
These big Bums did not include the
allied loans. They have averaged
$450,000,000 a month from the time the
Un.ted States entered the war.
Amsterdam. —A wireless dispatch
received at Berlin from Kiev says that
the Poles have occupied Mohilev, the
Russian main headquarters, and have
arrested Ensign Krylenko, the com
mander-in-chief of the Russian Bolshe
vik forces, and his entire staff. The
message adds that the Bolshevik up
rising at Viev has been suppressed by
the Ukrainians.
From the North sea to the Swiss
frqptier the military activity daily
seems to be growing in intensity, and
it may be fair to assume that in the
not distant future some of the big
battlep that have been forecast will
break. The American, British and
French armies have been taking
whacks at the Gorman line, either by
fairly strong patrol attacks or by bom
bardments, while, in turn, the Teu
tons have been giving considerable at
tention on various sectors to their
enemies.
In the German trenches the Teu
tons were awaiting the word to go
over the top for an attack, whdh the
Americans opened a heavy fire on the
positions.
Heavy casualties are believed to
have been inflicted on the Teutons
and considerable damage was done by
the seventy-fives on the German
trenches, due to the accuracy of aim
of the American gunners.
The Germans have not yet been able
to reoccupy the trenches and dugouts
battered by the American fire Satur
day.
Rome.—Venice and a number of
towns on the Venetian plain have been
bombed by enemy airmen, according
to the Italian official communication.
While no damage and no casualties
resulted from the attack on Venice,
considerable destruction was wrought
in the towns of Padua, Treviso and
Mestre,\where a number of civilians
were killed or wounded.
