thoso In the Pennsylvania Natlnn.il Guard.
There are today 200,000 men In tho reg

net officer that aims and equipment for the

longer thun that.
It was stated, however, that the army
had enough officers and men to train the
proposed new land forces. Army officers
asserted that tho Inability to get complete

marine came to tho surface and began
blielllng the ship. One shot passe 1 through
the chief engineer's room and another
throuKh tho master's cabin. Others struck
the ship in various places.
"After shelling commenced master stopped,
and all hands took to boats. Shelling con
tinued, some shots falling near boats.
About forty shots flred In all, After boats
were two miles from ship, submarine, which
had been coming closer, when about a ship's
length, stopped and. fired shells Into ,her
amidships, after which submarine fired an
other torpedo, striking vessel eighty feet
from stern on starboard aide. Vessel listed
heavy to starboard, rlghteJ herself and then
went down by stern. Boats with Icrew
picked up by patrol boats and towed to
