Paris — I t was announced at the
French ministry o f marine Saturday
that there were nearly 4000 men on
board the French auxiliary cruiser
Provence when she was sunk in the
Mediterranean on February 26.
I t was said that on hoard the Pro
vence were the staff o f the Third Colo
nial Infantry regiment, the Third bat
talion, the Second company o f the
First battalion, the Second Machine
Gun company, and one extra company.
As the ministry o f marine, on Feb
ruary 29, announced that the number
o f survivors o f the Provence disaster
was estimated at 870, it is indicated
that upwards o f 3130 lives were lost.
This great number o f casualties
makes the disaster the greatest on the
sea in modern times.
Up to the pres
ent tim e the largest number o f lives
ever lost in one wreck was when the
W hite Star liner Titanic struck an ice
berg off the Newfoundland banks on
April 14, 1912, and sank with a death
loss o f 1595. The rescued numbered
743.
The vessel, however, when in the
trans-Atlantic service,
could carry
1960 persons, including the crew, and
it has been presumed that as she was
transporting troops between ports not
far apart, she was carrying a number
o f men larger than her normal capa
city.

• 5000 Worth o f Liquor Taken.
Seattle— Deputy sheriffs raided the
home o f P. E. Sullivan, who conducted
a large cafe at Fourth avenue and Pike
street before the prohibition law went
into effect January 1, and seized 160
cases o f intoxicating liquors other than
beer, and said to be worth $5000. The
liquor, it was said, had been removed
to Mr. Sullivan’ s home from the rafa
when the prohibition law went into
effort.
Under the law it is illegal to
possess over two quarts o f liquor.

" ‘Just pot that away,’ he said, ’ I

"I kept my face straight and as

“ 'Oh, I ’ll be here when you get

“ ‘ W ell, I don’t know,’ he replied, ’ I
