U. S. TRANSPORT SUNK Tuscania With Soldiers for France Sunk by Submarine off Irish Coast. Washington, Feb. 7.—A troop ship, the Tuscania, with 2179 American sol- diers aboard, has been torpedoed with the. probable loss of 145 lives. From out of the war zone, 3000 miles away, this news today brought sharply before America the grim re- alization that Germany at last has struck successfully at this country’s transport service. It marked the opening of the long-expected U-boat drive against the increasing lines of United States troops being sent to the French front—and Germany's greatest stroke of the war against this country. The Tuscania, British Cunarder, pressed into transport service for the American War Department, carried scattered units of headquarters and Companies D, E and F of the Twen- : r Should I be elected 1 owe and will] tieth Engineers, One Hundred and sete try to render you faithful service.|Seventh Military police, One Hun- Should I not, I pledge my continued] dred and Seventh Supply train, One efforts to serve the people of Bates} tundredth, One Hundred and Fifty- County and their best interests in any|tighth and Two Hundred and Thir- i way and in every-way that is in my|/teenth Aero Squadrons and replace- power.
