tiicional details, the war department
announced, are promised.
The Kinking of (lie Tuscania rep
resents apparently the largest Am
erican casualty list since the t'niied

The iileatitv of the troops on
bo..L .l the vessel is still unkown. The

Tiiscania was torpedoed and sunk
and that survivors numbering l,0'i0.

Ireland. There was a total of 2,179
I'nited States troops on this vessel.
Ao names of persons have been re
ported to the war department and
jio names of survivors were report

Army officials admit that over.

Officials are inclined to admit that
