(Dy Associated Press)
LOXDOX Feb. 8. Revised figures
today indicate that the .loss of life
on:the Tuscania will probably becon-
Sidrably more than yesterday's esti-
mate of 101.. It is now. believed that
complete returns will show that the
deaths will be nearer 200.
Reports received at the American
embassy here yesterday . indicated the
loss of "one hundred and one lives
while tlie Dritish Admiralty statement
was 210. The discrepancy appears to
have been due to the fact that the
embassy's figures did not include the
missing of which ther still are
many. ;
A joint Dritish and American mili-
tary funeral for the Tuscania dead is
being arranged. f
