It Wss s British Vessel Convoyed Bjr British Warships. The mornlnj'e papers orought the newa of th 3 torpedoing and •biking of the Tuacania, a British •hip of the Cunurd Line, convoyed by Britiah warshlpa, carrying 2.179 V. 8. troopa, off the Irish coast yesterday. The lirat account Indicated that probably 1,000 were lout, but Inter diapatchea announce that nil out aoout 250 were accounted for, un l that numoer may bo further re duced. Thla ii the first rfre it disaster of the war auffered by America's armed forcea. It U not yet known wliut became of the submarine that fired the fa tal ahot—whether destroyed or not. The troopa wore composed of units from various parts c»f the i country, but chiefly >f detachments from Michigan and Wleconalti. The disaster waa n severe nhock to the entire country ant there {* today 1 many a throbbing heart ache over it. Senator La Folletto, whose resig nation and impeachment have been demanded on account of hie pro- German utterances in public apeoch, haa had a home thrust, in that the bulk of the U. H. troops on the Tuacania aunk by the German sub marine yesterday were from his State, Wisconsin, and the adjoining state of Michigan. It looks like retribution, but the heartrending sorrow of it is that the brave, inno cent boys, who were going forth in patriotic service for their oouutry > Should be made living sacrifices oi to leach an exceedingly sorrowful lesson. . i— - There are men in Congress who profess to be patriotic citizens, among them Sma ton Chamberlain and ilitchcock, who would extort from the War Department every secret move and publiah it to the people. They do not seem to understand that the people have confidence in the heada of the departments, aud that they are doing their utmost to speed up the war business and to take every precaution to safeguard the welfare o( the army and nation. I>o these "patriots" want to notify the enemy that we are aending men, monitions aud auppliee to our Allies, and when, so they can send out sub marinee to aend them to the bot tom of the ocean ? WHAT WILL THE SOLDIERS SEE ? Smileage Will Satisfy Men's Desire for Comedy. Vaudeville, Con- certs, and Lectures. The inen in the rampa have h particular craving. They want to see "show*." In the eveuiug they are tired; they are sometimes very lonely; they want to laugh; and they want "regulnr" per formances. If there are to be any amateus performances, they wout to be In tiieiu, not inert ly looking at them. , Four Comedy companies are al ready assigned to this new Held. They are Broadway organizations, presenting acceptci 11 road way auoceasou— "Turn to the Kiglit"; "Cheating Cheaters"; "Here Cornea the Bride"; "Inside the Lines." Four vaudeville bills have been assembled by general manager K. JF. Albee, of the Keith Circuit. Their routings will be arranged, of course, so aa to prevent hii un varied succession in any camp of any one kind of entertainment. In the regiments are scores of professional actors aud vaudeville -performers. The men manifest special interest in seeing their k own comrades on the atage. So there are to be regular amateur productions, between the profes sional offerings, that the meu may have part in the e nterpriae and — of much more importance—that jg' when they have gone to the iront they may be able to provide suit able programs for themselves. , * MUWS HOLD FRONT UKE 1 - ' , i HEAVIEST BOMBARDMENT OP MANY MANY DAYS LAUNCHED AGAINST AMERICANS.

SUBMARINE FIGHTERS IN LARGE NUMBERS Contracts for "Several Score" Awarded to Ford Plant Washington.—New submarine fight ers of a powerful type are about to be turned out In the United States in large numbers. After testifying before the house naval committee on the na val appropriation bill, Secretary Dan iels author*led the statement that con tracts for "several scores" of the new craft have been placed with the Ford Motor company of Detroit. Ha de scribed them as "half-way between a destroyer and submarine-chaser," 200 feet long and equipped with the latest discoveries the coming summer ar« assured. All parts of the ships except the engines ore to be fabricated In De troit and the parta shipped to sea board, where they will be assembled. Changes In the Ford plant to permit the handling of the work hare pro gressed so swiftly. Mr. Daniels said, that deliveries on the contracts during the coming summer are assured. The new Teasels are expected to prove far superior to the chasers now In use. Including those of the 110-foot class. They will have steam power with a greater radius of action, will be more seaworthy and will be able to carry heavier armament. It has de veloped that the latest German sub marines are equipped with guns which outrange those of small chasers and even some merchant ships. RAILROAD SITUATION IN MOUNTAINS CLEARINQ Bristol, Tenn.-Va. —A clear, spring like day completed the melting of enow and Ice In the mountains, which has done much damage to rtlaroads and property, gave encouragement for early restoration of normal conditions. Large forces of workmen are hurry ing repair* on wrecked bridges on the Appalachian division of the Southern railway and officials state they hope to resume operations soon. TWO AMERICANS ARE KILLED IN FIQHTINO On the lighting fronts, the most im portant event has been another attack by the Germans on a small American peat In which two Americans were kill ed and four wounded. Another soldier Is believed to have been captured by the enemy. This position on the French front dally has been searched out by shells from the Oermans for several days. bat. aided by a heavy fog and covered by a artillery barraga, Ike Oermans decided to attack. Getting warm clo'hea to tha sol diers Is another of those problems of distribution. Lets Keep our hearts warm any way. Thus far 1918 has suffered from chilli' feet. Autocracy started the war. Dem ocracy ia going to finish it. If Great Britain, which with its colonlea, has put 7,900,000 men into the war, can find 4M.000 more with out crippling essential industries, this country, out of more than twice the population, can find 250.- 000 for shipbuilding not to speak of a few to shovel coal.

Washington, Feb. 4. —What thi American Red Cross has done wltl the vast sums of money entrusted t it by the people of the United States ii stated in detail in a report Just lssuec by the national headquarters. To date 171,460,727.35 has been appropriate) for relief work in this county ant abroad.

The foregoing appropriations an from the time the United States en tered the war until April 30, 1918. Foi the United States the Red Cross hai appropriated $2,612,632.60 and the rea son this sum Is not larger 1s becaust the government provides nearly every thing our army and navy needs, an besides, there is no civilian distress it this country of any considerable pro portions.

Editorial from Indianapolis Dally 'limes. Lest some of u* mayt not realize what the actual conditions are, it may be well to deal for a space with facts taken from recent and current experience here .and abroad. Camp No. 9 in England is popu lated by Canadian troops. In that camp are 4,000 soldiers who are dying, rotting, of incurable vene real diseases. These men are now_ under guard behind barbed wires." Tbev went forth to fight. Their mothers sent them gladly, .believ ing their sons were to face a fo? , like men and serve the flag li'-ve true'soldiers. These'thousands of fine young Canadians have never seen the bit tie lines, and they never will be permitted to serve as soldiers. They are a drag and a weight on their government. They have be n destroyed by unbridled prostitu tion and booze at work around the military camps. They will neve get home, nor will thev eves achieve soldier records. Th-;y ai\- | dying, rotting, because their' ;;ov ■ ernment did not take measures to protect them against booie mci prostitution.

A HINT TO THE AGED. , If people past 60 years of could be persuaded to go to bed as soon as they take cold and re maijn in bed for one or two days, they would recover much mora quickly, especially if they take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. There would also be less danger of the cold being followed by any of the more serious diseases. The State Geological Hoard, in session in Raleigh last week, de cided that Miss H. M.

The most common of these are cheese, tea and bailed milk. On the other hand raw fruits, espe cially apples,. bananas, also Gra ham bread and Whole wheat bread promote a movement of the bow els. When the bowels are badly constipated, however, the sure way is to take one or two of Chamber lain's Tablets immediately after supper. — • The Seaboard Air Line railway's coal chute at Norlina —the station an the North Carolina-Virginia line—was burned a few days ago with 150 tons of coal, causing a loss of $20,000. The fire is said to have originated in a spark from ft smokestack. CHAMBERLAIN'S TABLETS. These tablets are intended espe cially for disorders of the stom »ch, liver and bowels.

MM MM "HEATLESS" DATS v M'ADOO AND GARFIELD ISSUE STATEMENT SAYING THEY ARE CONSIDERING MATTER. HUT use LIFT EKBAR6O Two of Ten Heatless Monday* Have Been Observed—Will Hold Another Conference Soon. Washington.—Abandonment of tha heatless Monday program was pre dicted at the close ot a prolonged con- I ference between Fuel Administrator Oarflleld and Director General of Rail road McAdoo. A final decision was not reached and a further conference will be held but tbore was every Indication that both officials, as well as President Wilson, who has been consulted, feel that the purpose sought can be ac complished. from now on by continu ance of preferential coal transporta tion and distribution and by railroad embargoes'now In force. At the conclusion of the conference the following statement was Issued Jointly by Dr. Garfield and Mr. Mo- Adoo. ' McAdoo-Garfleld Statement. "We had under consideration •the question of suspending the Mon day closing order. We hav« not reached a final conclusion about it. We shall have another conference when the results of the Monday closings and of the railroad embargoes up to that time can be fully consider ed, and shall be able to make an an nouncement as to whether or not a sus pension of the Monday closing order maybe made." Ten heatless Mondays were decreed by the fuel administration January 17 as a measure to save coal and to re lieve railroad transportation. The Monday holidays were preceded by a five-day industrial shut down at the close of which eastern railroads at the direction of Director McAdoo, put on embargoes against the movement of general freight. The Monday closing has brought the most vigorous opposition from com mercial interests, particularly the big department stores. The small stores, too, have opposed it as have the own ers of office buildings. Theaters suc ceeded in having the day as applied to them changed to Tuesday. WARNING GIVEN TO ALL FLOUR DEALER 3 Must Not Take Advantage of Bhortage In Other Cereals. Washington.—Unwarranted price In creases in wheat flour substitutes will not be permitted. The food admin istration gave warning to dealers that they must not take advantage of tem porary shortages in other cereals brought on by the heavy demand the new baking regulations has caused? Many complaints reached Food Ad ministrator Hoover that dealers in the substitutes already have begun to lift their prices. "Mills of the country," said Mr. Hoover, "are prepared to meet the greater demand of housewives and bakers for other cereals during the next %w months. Lack of transporta tion Is the only factor that will stand in the way of proper dlstirbutioa throughout the country. "At least one of the substitutes is produced in quantity in almost every part of the country. If any shortages occur they will-be local. The supply of substitutes is ample to "fbeet our needs and it is confidently expected that with* the freer movement of grains to the mills and of the finished product to the consumer lower prices than those now prevailing will result. "The normal tendency of local soar cities would be to advance prices out of line with the cost of production and distribution. Under tne food control act this will not happen. AIT licensees dealing In food commodities who do not give their customers the benefit of fair and moderate prices, selling at no more than a reasonable profit above cost, will have their licenses revoked." TURN OUT ONE BOAT EVERY DAY Washington.—Production plans for the navy's new anti-submarine craft contemplate the delivery of a flnUhed boat every day when the cycle of pro duction is complete. The first vessel has already been started |n the fabri cating shops at Uie Ford Motor Com pany plant at Detroit Construction will go by stages. To turn out a boat a day after the elapse of several months requires that a boat a day be started.
