MINE OR (-B0AT {British Auxiliary Cruiser With 180 Men, Destroyed, London Says London, Jan, 29.—The British aux- iliary cruiser Laurentic, of 14,892 tons gross, has been sunk by a submarine or as a result of striking a mine, ac- cording to an offi?lal statement issued by the British Admiralty. Twelve of- ficers and 109 men were saved. The Admiralty statement adds that the vessel went down off the Irish coast last Thursday. The auxiliary cruiser Laurentic car- ried a naval reserve crew of 300 of- ficers and men, including fourteen en- gineers and ten deck officers, and was commanded by a naval captain. The dispatch would indicate that at least 180 of these were lost. Chief Engin- eer Hurst and his staff were White Star employes, as also were two of the deck officers, it was said.

Harris, hereto- fore vice chairman, becomes chair- man of the commission, which deals with corporations. Mr. Harris was ap- pointed director of the census soon after President Wilson took office and served in that capacity until he be- | came a member of the Federal Trade Commission, about two years ago. He was mentioned in 1914 for the demo- cratic nomination for governor of Georgia, his home state, but with- drew from the race to devote all his attention to census bureau affairs, Mr. Harrs is a son-in-law of he Ilate General Joe Wheeler and was secre- tary to Senator Clay of Georgia. He is an insurance man and is an able executive and statistician, entic was armed with six 6-inch guns and had a speed of seventeen knots. During a two years’ cruise in the Indian Ocean and Pacific on patrol duty the auxiliary cruiser Laurentic halted the American mail steamship China and took off thirty-eight Aus- trian and German subjects who were on their way from Shanghai to San Francisco. The United States govern- ment protested on the ground that it was an exact parallel of the famous Trent affair and asked for their re- lease. When the British government declined to act, a second note was sent and the men were released. The Laurentic was one of the most popular ships in the White Star-Do- minion service from Livernool to Mon- treal and Quebec before the war. She was built at Harland & Wolff's yard in Belfast in 1908, and was the first passenger liner to be equipped with twin reciprocating engines and a low pressure turbine in the center to drive the third Propeller.

A Man Makes Some § ) ' Horrible Disclosures New York, Jan. 29.—Charles W, & Dietrich, secretary in charge of the Christian - association, imparted ads ditional points on matrimony to th§ | members of the Sunday Morning Breakfast club in Brooklyn yeste: A week ago Mr. Dietrich discoursed on the ways of bachelors in avoidi; marriage, but yesterday he gave few hints on the safety -first method of rushing into it. And his fir piece of advice was to eschew th dark and dangerous “mush party.” “'I"hey didn’t have anything of th: sort when I was young,” he sald, “o if they did I didn’t hear of them. My sons have told me of them, though they don’t go to them themselves., Al number of girls will get together at i home of one of them and a number of young men will call, for the pur- pose of mushing—mushing, hugging and such like. That is all wrong. If you mush too much you will get tired of it before you ought too.” B Mr. Dietrich then gave a few ti on the marriage market, some which were: & “Don’t try to rush matters. Bel over anxious more often does har] than good. Don’t call on her eve night in the week. “Cut out the other girls. , There an young men who dangle other girlid before the noses of their sweethearffil just to show them they are not thefid only ones. ~ “Courtship is a siege. By trying toif] g0 ahead too rapidly one may ‘g4 himself into a position where he m have to spike his guns and give altogether. i “Don’t think you have done yougy duty or expect to win a girl merelyg by decorating the parlor.
