SIX ARKANSANS
ARE LISTED WITH
MISSING SOLDIERS
Washington, Feb. 10.—Enghteen
hundred and thirty-two names of
American soldiers rescued from the
torpedoed liner Tuscania had been re
ported tonight to the war department,
leaving 345 of the soldiers on board
unaccounted for. No official report
has reached the department to change
the estimate that all except 113 of the
men were saved, but the names have
been coming in very slowly over the
cables and there is no assurance as to
when the list will be complete.
Six Arkansans who were on board
are among those not yet accounted
for. There names may be added later
to the list of survivors.
The missing Arkansans are:
William F. Bennett, Rogers.
Nathan B. Short, Stepehns.
Claude Bradley, Swatty.
James R- Potillo, Huntington.
Sterling Coflon, St. James.
Bell M. Williams, Glenwood.
From the names so far received and j
the passenger list of the lost steamer j
the Associated Press has compiled the j
record of those still not reported, j
Probably more than two hundred of
the men whose names appeal on this
record are safe in Ireland and will be
so reported soon.
The preparation of the list, even in
its incomplete form, represents an
aggregate of 140 hours of labor. The
war department has only issued an
official roll of those on the ship. The
committee on public information has
made no effort to compile a list of
the missing, merely issuing lists of
survivors. In order to compile a list
of missing and unreported, it was
necessary to search for each name in
both lists, a laborious process in deal
ing with more than 2,000 names.
