A cablegram received hero by the Belgian relief commission today stated that the commission's com-mission's steamship Anna Fostenes, which left New York, March 3rd, via Halifax, with a 350,000 cargo of foodstuffs food-stuffs for Rotterdam, had be6n sunk. The message reads: "Trevler and Anna Fostenes sunk off Holland." The loss of tho Trevier, a Belgian relief ship, torpedoed without warning, warn-ing, and of the Feistein, also a relief ship, presumably by a mine, was announced an-nounced several days ago. In view of the coupling of the names of the Tre- H vier and the Anna Fostenes in the IH latest message, the commission has IH cabled London for further information. H The possibility was suggested by the H commission that the message alluded H to the Feistein, owing to the similarity H of names. IH The Anna Fostenes was without IH wireless equipment and her crew, nuni- jH bering 50 men, included no Americans. PH The vessel, formerly the steamship H Heemskerck, Is registered as. of 2,577 IH tons gross. She was built m 1902 in lH Holland and flew the Norwegian flag. H |
