Torpedoed By U-Boat Off British Coast 1,912 Officers and Men Saved and List of Rescued May Prove Even Larger Troops Composed Principally of Michigan and Wisconsin Guardsmen and Were on British Ship. SCHOOL NOTES So Said Jury in Case Last Eve- Death and Funeral of Capt. 0. L. ning After Being Out Only Eight Minutes. The Cunard liner Tuscania, carry ing 2,179 American soldiers, has been torpedoed and sunk off the Irish coast hut official reports received at Wash ington late last night said 1,912 of the officers and men had been saved anil indicated that the list of rescued might pr we ever larger. The troors. composed chiefly of detachments ci Michigan and Wisconsin nation:.! guardsmen, were traveling' on the Tuscania, a British vessel,, under con voy of British warships. The Tuscania vas the first ship carrying American troops to Europe to be sunk by German submarines, but the American transport Antilles was torpedoed and sunk in the war zone while returning to the United States from France and 14 soldiers were lost with 15G other persons, including several members of the naval armed guard. The Tuscania's position when she was sunk is taken to indicate that she was bound to England. Her sinking definitely discloses that British ships are being used to cany American troops abroad supplement ing American transport tonnage. Ihis has been intimated before and finally arises from the decision of the su preme war council to augment Per shing's army during the present year. SACRIFICES NECESSARY.
