Ottawa, Aug. 4.-The German steam
ship Willehad, which sailed from
Montreal early Saturday morning, par
tally loaded, and which is now be-
lieved to be in the Cabot Straits, be-
tween Newfoundland and Cape Breton
is expected 20 be captured tonight by
the British armored cruiser Essex. The

ment steamers which brought 20 Que
bee the lSe bodies recovered from the
Empress of Ireland wreck more than a
month ago.
In eaving Montreal without her
cargo the Willehad became liable for
damages to the consigners.
Ii was learned tonight that civil
process of seizure was taken out
against the Willehad two days ago on
the advice of the Admiralty, and that
the Essex and Canadian government:
ships were asked to serve it. This
course was adopted to insure her de-
tention before she left the Canadian
jurisdiction.
The Willehad was reported as having
passed Little Metis, Quebec, last Mon
day morning.
The Canadian government has sum
moned Parliament to meet August IL
to deal with the war situation.

LUSITANEA SAILS
TO RUN GANTLET
Big Liner Slips Away as
German Cruisers How
er Off Coast.
9 BRITISH WARSHlPS
WILL CONVOY HER
Lights Out and 212 Passengers
Aboard, with $15O,OOO
in Gold.

Shroudcd in darkness except FOR her
port and starboard lights and those at
her mastheads, the huge bulk OF the
Lusitania slipped away from her
pier at 1915 this morning, dropped
stealthily down the North River into
New York Bay and made her way out
through Ambrose Channel to the open
sea.
There we're 212 passengers on board,
who we're willing to take chance with
war. OF these sixty were booked in
the first cabin. The carrying capacity
of the liner is $3.50.
The Lusitania showed only her port,
starboard and masthead lights, the
limit required by law About forty
persons, hale Of them women, were on
the pier as she slipped out into the
river.
The Lusitania carried only about
s150.OoO gold Large shipments OF the
metal that we're to have been taken
were withdrawn, and will 90 on the
cruiser supplied by the government for
the relief Of Americans stranded
abroad.
Shin Takes Chances of War.
Outside Sandy Hook, report had 1t,
three German cruisers were lowering
War had been declared only few
hours before, but Captain Dow and the
Cunard officials were confident the
German could not have heard of it.
At any rate, they were willing to sail
and take the consequences. Several
people who had been desirous of reach
ing the other side changed their minds
at the last minute, but that did not
alter the determination of the line and
/ its representatives.
Capable of making more than
twenty-three knots an hour without
forcing her propellers, the Lusitania
was prepared to break all records for
sneed on an ocean crossing. Once past
the Dresden, the fier would soon leave
the [. .uiser behind. without telltale
lights it was believed that the danger
of being halted would be practically
nil.
Meanwhile, the British cruisers Ber-
wick and Essex we're outside, ready to
convoy the Lusitsnia.
This would bear out statements Of
officers Of the Lusitsnia just before
she sailed. One of them asserted that
as early as o'clock yesterday morn
in il had been known aboard that war
would be declared before night. Even
this did not change the determination
10 nut the big snip on the other side.
Man and Wife Turn Back.
Among those who went TO the pier
and then went away again were Mr.;
and Mrs. A. p. De Sausa, of 1856
T,ycntv-frst av.. Bensonhurst. They
have friends and relatives in Paris for
whose safety they have been much con-
cerned. Plans had been made before
there was even suspicion Of conflict
and they intended to go abroad about
Despite the war clouds, they decided

learned that Cunard officials would not
book them beyond Liverpool. This re-
fusal TO guarantee passage to any
other country except England reduced
