An accurate list of the missing can- not be issued until General Pershing reports the names of the army men on the vessel and the list of the merchant crew. Following is the announcement: Secretary Daniels’ Statement. *“The department is in receipt of a despatch from Vice Admiral Sims, which states that the steamship An- tilles, an army transport, was torpe- doed on October 17 while returning to this country from foreign service. This vessel was .under convoy of American patrol Vessels at the time. “The torpedo which struck the An- tilles was not seen, nor was the sub- marine which fired it. The torpedo hit abreast of the engine room bulk- head and the ship sank within five minutes. One hundred and sixty-seven persons out of about two hundred and thirty-seven on board the Antilles were saved. About seventy men are missing. 3 All Officers Saved. “All the naval officers and officets of the army who were on board the ship at the time were saved, as were the officers of the ship,_with the exception of the following: Walker, third engi- neer officer; Boyle, junior engineer of- ficer, and O'Rourke, junior engineer officer, Naval Men Lost. “The following enlisted naval per- sonnel were lost: B.

The names of the of the army enlisted personne of the merchant crew of the shin - nnot be given until the muster rol! in France of those on board has been consulted. ~As_soon ds the department is in receipt of fur- ther details, concerning the casualties they will be made public immediately.” Crack American Coast Liner. The Antilles, a freight and passen- ger steamship of 6,878 tons gross, owned by the Southern Pacific Steam- ship company (Morgan Line) was one of the crack American coast liners. She plied between New Orleans and New York and had carried thousands of persons to the Mardl Gras celebra- tion in the southern city. The ves- sel was taken over by the government as a transport early in the war. Captain H. F. Boyde, master of the ‘Antilles, retained his command when the vessel entered the government ser- vice, as did most of his officers. The crew as recruited by the quartermas- ter's department, insfuded many of the men who had served on the steam- ship when she was in the merchant service, » Built in 1907. The Antilles was built by the Cramps at Philadelphia in 1907. She wa# 421 feet long with a beam of 53 feet and a depth of 37 feet. No News Withheld. Upon receipt of the cablegram from Admiral Sims, the m.“w.. The inssuance of the statement was delayed only until the navy could tele el B s of lels onrrisd. oyl of the —_— loss of the Antilles to the White House, when he went there late in the,| day with Admiral Mayo, who made his report to President Wilson on his visit to England at the direction of the president. The news added to the gravity of the hour that the secretary and Admiral Mayo spent in conference ‘with the_ president. Quick upon the wave of sorrow at the news of the loss of the transport, came a feeling of distinct relief be- cause she had met her fate homeward bound and not on the way over with troops. The only soldiers on board were returning to the hospital or on special assignment. Had the full com- plement of the transport been aboard, the loss undoubtedly would have been written in hundreds, as she struck in the most vulnerable spot and went under so swiftly that few could have Officials are confident that those who survived owe their lives to the careful attention given by the navy depart- men to the equipping of transports, with lifeboats and life rafts. It is a fixed rule that enough boats and rafts shall be carried to afford a place for every man aboard, even though the ship keel over and put half her life- T ‘}‘t u:‘ ship’ . engineer of- 'he loss of the 's - ficers indicates the probability that no one of the engine and fire room force on duty escaped. Probably most of, them died in the blast of the explosion of the torpedo which tore its way into the engine room compartment. Those Lost Probably Were Below. The heavy loss among the army en- listed men indicated cannot be ac- counted for until further-details come in. Probably they and the navy men ‘were in their quarters below and could not make their way on deck before the ship took ber” final plunge. The army, navy and ship’s officers and the others who were rescued probably were on deck or in cabins from which a step took them to the deck and a .chance for their lives. Lacking details of the attack, be- yond the fact that the submarine was unseen and the first warning to those board the Antilles came with the shock of the explosion of the torpedo, many theories were current as to how the U-boat crept through the destroyer screen aid its work and escaped un- challenged. A majority of the officers who would comment thought the_ transport and her convoying patrols had run direct- ly over a lurking submarine which saw them coming, calculated the dis- tance and launched her deadly tor- do without even showing more than er eriscope. They regard it as probable that the U-boat commander picked his place, lay in wait below the surface until his microphones told him the patrols had passed and the transport was upon him, then shot his periscope above water only long enoush to sight and fire before he ducked back to safety. Vessel Must Have Been Torn in Half Any attempt to locate the subma- rine probably wag made impossible by the necessity of rescuing the sur- vivors. The vessel must have been virtually torn in half by the explo- sfon to have gone down in the time she did. Probably the attack was made well out at sep. It took two days for the news to reach Washing- ton and the despatch shows the time that must have elapsed before definite word could reach Admiral Sims. The survivors are_believed to be already safe ashore somewhere in France or Engtand. So far as known, no officérs of the army or navy were due to return on the Antilles. There is no definite information on_ that point, however, as only Genegal Pershing knows who ‘was sent home on the ship. The re- ports so far received show merely that a number of army officers and 33 en- listed men of the army were aboard. Evidently Admiral Sims rushed his tidings off before he communicated with General Pershing. First Reduction of Transport Fleet, The loss of the Antilles marks the first reduction of the transport fleet that has been operating.

To meet the situation in New Eng- land, the shipping. board ordered own- ers of all coal steamers Te- quisitioned by the government to con- tinue in their present service and fix- ed a uniform rate of $2.50 per cargo ton from Hampton Roads or Phila- delphia to Boston with differentials to other New England ports. At the same time the fuel adminis- tration, finding_ plenty of coal _and plenty of vesséls for the New Eng- land coal trade at Hampton Roads, but a lack of docking and pier facili- ties, summoned the presidents of the Chesapeake and Ohio, Norfolk and Western and the Virginian .railroads at a conference here next Tuesday to work out a plan to bunker the coal out to vessels for loading in mid- stream. . J. J. Storrow, New England fuél ‘administrator, in conference here to- day pointed out that his -section js short of coal despite the fact that thi year's shipments into New England has run a million tons ahead of last year. y The_shipping board’s order to the New England coal steamer owners di- rects them “to allow three free days for loading and unloading, .

In Some of the Poorer Sections of New York It Costs 15 Cents a Pound. New York, Oct. 19—Ssarcity of sugar_caused considerable concern in New Zork today, resulting in confer- ences between, the mewly appointed commissioner of markets, Dr. Henry Moskowitz, sugar refiners, wholesalers and retailers. Commissioner Mosko- witz announced that he was at work on a etatement to be issued tomorrow which will contain suggestions as to the conservation of sugar. In some of the poorer sectlons of the city as high as 15 cents a pound was paid for sugar, and there were few places where it could be bought for less than 12 cents. Investigatiom dis- closed that some of the large whole- sale grocery stores had nonme left in their warehouses and many retail stores were forced to paste “no sugar” signs on_their windows to keep away the crowds of would-be purchasers. James H. Fost, chairman of the American refinery committee of the federal food administration, said toflay that the sugar shortage is onl tem- porary and can be tided over with economy.
