The State IVpartincnt's dispatch gave
tho number of soldiers on bouid as 21?3,

Incitement grew In Intensity as tho

concern for every available bit of n
formation to transmit to tho President.
The fact the Tuscania was under

engagement with tho U-boat had been
fought.
U Is presumed the survivors were
landed by vessels In the British convoy.
