Steps toward the eventual cessation
Of ocean traffic between this country
and Europe followed in rapid success
sion yesterday. The most startling
announcement Of the day came from
the Cunard Line, saying that the Lu-
sitania, second fastest vessel ahoat,
would not sail for Liverpool and South
ampton at o'clock this evening.
Late in the afternoon it was an
nounced that the Fabre Line. the ships
Of which ply between American ports
and Mediterranean cities in France and
Italy. with stops at the Azores, had
suspended service until further notice.
The Fabre liners fly the French flag.
The first intimation that still another
line had considered the ocean unsafe
for IFS vessels came when the steamer
SAINT Anna. which left New York Sat
urday, slipped in through the Narrows.
At the New York Offices of the
French Line it was announced tina
the ships of the General Transatlantic
Company were still running. although
word came from Paris during the day
that the Rochambeau. one of the fast
est vessels Of the line, had been requi-
sitioned by the French government.
The Rochambeau entered port last
night and will dock early this morn

May Take Reserves Home.
The belief was current that the Lusi-
tania would be used to take home the
army and navy reserve forces Of Great
Britain. Two of the fastest cruisers Of
the British navy, which left the West
Indies Saturday, may be on their way
to meet the big vessel and escort her
across the Atlantic.
Among those disappointed by the de-
tention of the Lusitania were the
Duchess Of Marlborough and Richard
Harding Davis, the war correspondent.
Told that the vessel might possibly
leave within few days with reservists
only, Davis threw out his chest and ex-
claimed:

Ammunition Firms Be
Iieye Powers Will Have
to Buy Here.
LONG WAR, SOON
USE UP SUPPLIES
Manufacturers, However, Admit
Purchasers Will Have to
Carry at Own Risks.

Representatives Of the leading am
munition firms in New York admitted
yesterday the possibility that the final
stages of great European war might
be fought with American ammunition
carried at the purchasers risk by a
feet Of swift blockade runners.
Such a contingency was thought 20
be remote, but is was said that the
small arms ammunition manufacturers
in this country would be- able to pro-
vide cartridges Of the required calibre
without much difficulty and would un-
doubtedly sell 20 anyone, who wo2ld
pay for them and take the risks OF
shipment.
II was generally admitted that the
European powers now involved hal
been preparing for war for years and
that their arsenals were doubtless we'll
stored. Likewise, in the same way
that the War Department Of the United
States seeks TO encourage the am
munition manufacturer here to keep
in the factoriea the machinery neces-
sary TO turn out military ammunition,
the European governments have been
awarding complimentary contracts 10
their own private ammunition manu-
facturers.
These will doubtless be able to keep
up the supply for some time after the
government factories are unable to
Lcep pace with the demand.
At the Offices Of the Winchester Re-
peating Arms Company, the Union
Metallic Cartridge Company and the
Peters Cartridge Company, il was
agreed yesterday that if war among
four or five great world powers de-
veloped, it was only a question Of time
before the resources Of the European
ammunition factories would be eX-
hausted. A representative of the Win
chester company said that that time
was so far in the future that it was
hardly worth while reckoning with it.
The present European conditions. he
said, had already interfered with their
foreign trade. The Winchester COM
