A very noticeable feature of the af

Introduced. This Is a custom which
could be emphasized at many of the

good advantage.
It Is reported today that about

used for the purpo-o specified. Those
who promoted the affair have ex

from nutslde points, to the Peerless

dered, and to others who helped to
make the affair so great a success.

to you, can't you pick me out a sweat
er with a card on It, so that I may
write a letter of thanks."
As the two entered tho warehouse
and reached the boxes of sweaters, It
happened that the first sweater pick,

dress of a woman, and on the other
side of the card was written, In a
small, thin, shaky hand, the follow

"I am 71 years old, and God btes
you, boy."
When the soldier read this card, he
gathered up the sweater, helmet.

welling Into his eyes, he turned and
said: "Isn't that splendid? This Is
Just the 'one I want," aad he started

AMSTERDAM, Feb. 13. German
nowspapers are gloating over "the
pyycbologlcal effect" which they ex
pect the sinking of the Tuscania must
produce In America.
Koelnlsche Volks Zeltung aaya the
event must unfailingly dampen the
spirits of Americans, and proceeds:-
"Sundry American vessels, some
with munitions aad perhaps a small
number of soldiers, have been aunk
before, but so far aa we know, this Is
the first case of a big transport with
a considerable number of troops
aboard falling victim to our U boats.
Maybe large slxed transports have
never, or rarely so far, crossed, for
the American forces in France are not
yet very large.
t"Aa such vessels must be convoyed
with great care, our V boat's achieve
ment is all the more remarkable and
gratifying."
The Berlin Mlttag am Zeltnng
make a similar comment, and re
joices that ao much war material waa
lost, and that the rescued soldiers will
not be Immediately available for service.
