LONDON, May 2.5. Survivors of
the torpedood transport Transylvania,
who uro now in England, say that tho
vossel was Hi ruck by the first torpedo
at 10 o'clock In the morning. The
ship was groatly dnmagod, but tho en
gines wore uninjured and tho captain
tried to roach shoro, snvoral miles
distant In the hopo of benching the
vessel. A quarter of an hour later a
socond torpedo hit tho engine room
and the sliip was ihrought to a stand
still and bognn to sottlo.
The first torpedo In bollovod to havo
lulled a largo number of men, while
tho second caused the death of most
of those In the engine room and stoko
hold, wrecked tho machinery, put out
tho electric HglitB and torn away n
largo part of I ho side or I ho vessel.
It also struck a loaded boat, blowing
It to pieces.
lA 11 the bonis were rapidly lowered,
tho nurses u'board embarking first.
Tho soldiers, who wero lined up on
the dock, shouted popular farewells
and sang "Tlpperary" and other sol
dlor songs. Destroyers raced to the
rescue and worked energetically until
erowdod to capacity with survivors,
ninny of whom wero Injured.
Accounts of tho rescuo work differ.
Some say all who survived tho ex
plosion wero saved and nnolher ac

sea and tho dangerous position of the
atoamcr a pnrty of nbout 150 soldiers
could not be rescued. All accounts In
dicate that tho great (bulk of the cas
ualties was duo to tho explosion of
tho torpedoes and that nono of the

HARRY
A N IIONKST man's Ihe noblest work of God."
Kueh is the e)ihih that must be wrilecn over the
tfrave of Senator Harry Lane, for not even his bitterest
enemies ever questioned his integrity and sineerity.
Fearless and courageous, physically and morally,
Harry Lane always fought for the right as it was given him
to see it. His sympathy was always for the down-trodden,
his efforts in behalf of the underdog. Democratic to a de
gree, his loss is t he people's loss'.
As mayor of Portland; Harry Lane guided 1 lie town in
its transformation into a city. Ho '"closed the town"
against the immoral elements that had hitherto dominated
its life, banished gambling and suppressed vice. lie fought
predatory privilege and safeguarded the rights of the
many.
As senator during his first session lie exhibited his cus
tomary energy and vim but since seemed to lose his grip
as ill health marked him for its own. He became more er
ratic wit h the progress of disease. His attitude on the war
and in opposing the president, created a storm of indigna
tion among his constituency which undoubtedly hastened
the end, but his sincerity or honesty of purpose was never
questioned.
Oregon will long remember Harry Lane for his virtues
anj forget his frailties.

rope's food problems have during

railroads me losing their efficiency

The heavy war traffic, hos caused
a rupid deterioration of ties, rails
