KAIHER IH CONCERNED OVER INTERNAL STRIFE

Unrest among the working people of Germany has not yet quieted down nor has the political conflict between the pan-Germans and the non-mili- tarists lessened appreciably. Concern over the internal security of the em-

pire appears in the message sent by Emperor William in answer to birth- day congratulations from the reich- Mag.

To President Kaempg, of the reieh- stag, the emperor expressed his "ar-

dent. wish" that the German people may “preserve their union until (lie final victory of our arms." The em-

peror declared that he enters upon a

"sprious and decisive year." The reichstag is reported to have refus- ed to vote confidence in the govern- ment, mainly through socialist oppo- sition.

Efforts to agitate a general strike

in I'erlin on Monday are declared to

have failed. l eaflets calling for such a

strike were distributed widely In the Germnn capital but it is said that workmen in only a few factories were

idle.

Just received all the latest popu- lar songs at G. O Retake's. tf

SHORE IN SIGHT WHEN TORPEDO STRIKES SHIP

LONDON: Thomas Smith, of Glas-

gow, a boatswain’s mate on the Tus- cania. said the steamer was proceed- ing to an English port under con-

voy. At 5:45 o'clock on Tuesday even-

ing." he continued. "I was in num-

ber one room talking with a fellow

I boatswain when I heard a terrific ex-

plosion and fel the vessel keeling ov-

! plosion and felt th<> vessel keeling ov-

j her now.'

•'We commenced lowering boats on

the starboard side. The soldiers were

j lined upon the deck waiting for the i boats. Unfortunately many jumped | overboard.

"1 found the bout at number 90

station, to which I had proceeded, had 1 been blown to pieces. I then helped | to get boats 1 to 7 safely away.

[ “After seeing these launched, I

proceeded to the other deck where I

launched a raft. I picked up 14 sol-

diers and two of the ship’s company who were swimming about. We had no oars and had to paddle along with our hands. We were picked up at 9 o'clock in the evening and landed

Wednesday morning.” The first survivors were landed at

4: 0 o’clock Wednesday morning. From then on until 7 a. m., many

patrol boats arrived, each bringing a

full complement of survivors. The number of them by that time had reached 550. including 40 members of the crew.

A11 the* medical men at Larne on

the eastern coast of Ireland where some of the survivors were landed were requisitioned.

There was sufficient time for the re-

moval of all those on board the Tus-

cania, as she remained afloat for about two hours after being torped- oed.

I The Tuscania was one of a convoy

j of troops provision ships, which af-

| ter the long and hazardous voyage

j across the Atlantic, was entering what I until recently were considered cora-

i paratively safe waters. The ships were

within sight of land, which was Just distinguished in the dusk of evening when a torpedo hit the Tuscania

amidships. The steamer took a heavy list

which made proper lowering of the

boats impracticable. Some men jump- ed Into the sea. Others were thrown

into the water when the boats were

lowered. The survivors are receiving every

attention.

4X>MI»1,ETE8 DESTRUCTION OF ONCE GREAT FLEET

NEW YORK: According to the rec-

ords ofthe Anchor Line here, the Tus- cania carried a crew of 220, under command of Captain Peter McLean, the majority of the crew being sub-

jects of Great Britain. The loss of the Tuscaniif. which

was under charter of the Cunard Line,

completes the destruction by subma-

rines of a fleet of five passenger ships aggregating 57,818 gross tonnage owned by the Anchor Line at the be-

ginning of the war. The other ships were; Caledonia, sunk in 1916; Cam-

eronia, April 15, 1917; Transylvania, May 4, 1917; California. February. 1917.
