DIRECT ACT OF WARP
Two constructions were put upon
these facts. One was that the Aneri-
can public had grown callous to danger,
in, the face Of repeated cautionary
notices. The other was that since
Americans were known to be on board
the Lusitania her sinEing was a direct
act of war against the United States.

Ships SUNK: Food Prices Soar
Their commander, a, junior officer,
conceived the idea of starving England
OFT by attacking her commerce His
idea was repuRnant to his sovereign,
Iut it found favor with his admiral,
who pressed it home with such con.
Nincing arguments of expediency and
Il iitary necessity that it was ultimately
adopted.
Ship after ship was sunk. Food
prices went soaring. There was paLic
on change aud each day the active
little submarines, recruiting their sup
plies of ammunition and oil from a
secret base, carried the war more sharp
~ to- their huge antagonist.
Crack Liner Is Sunk
Finally comes the sinking of the
crack liner. A fictitious name is as
signed her, but although larger ships
have been built since she was launched
she is descr ribbed as still the queen of
the seas, the most beautiful and the
swiftest ship afoat.
The undersea hunter lies in wait for
her where he knows she must pass in,
just as the German submarine lay in
wait for the Lusitania. There is an
effective passage of vivid description
in which Sir Arthur pictures how
nobly the great liner came walking up
the channel at a steady gait of twenty
three knots an hour, confident in her
speed.
Torpedo Strikes Fair
70 The submarine accurately calculates
her - gait, takes up position just
abreast of her course, rises at the right
woment and looses a darting torpedo
that catches her fair and square amid
ships.
There was good deal Of inexpen-
rive merriment at the expense of Sir
trthur among the photographers in the
opening months Of the war, while the
commer~e Of the empire was going on
much as usual, but it ceased abruptly
when Germany declared her submarine
campaign. d"
The Lusitaria must have gone down

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. -
Charges of bribery in connection with
the passage of an insurance bill by
the 1909 legislature were made yester-
day by F. G.. Garner, testifying, after
being granted immunity, before the
legislative committee investigating
the conduct in office of State Insur-
ance Commissioner WEIGH.
Garner said he had not paid over
any money himself, but that others
had done so.
He suggested he had been supplied
a $4,000 checking account to be
used in securing the passage of a
bill which would permit assessment
insurance companies to do business
in the state.
The law, he added, afterward was
declared unconstitutional, as it gave
foreign companies rights not grant

to a question from Frederick w. Jow-
EFT, whether England knew of and ap-
proved the statement of the Russian
foreign minister, M. Sazanoff, in the
Duma, that Russia intended perma-
nently to occupy Constantihople.n
The foreign secretary responded
that he was unaware that M. Sazanoff
had made any such statement, but
he added, "the statement l have seen
was that NJ. Sazanoff had said that
the events on the Russo-Turkish
frontier would bring Russia nearer
realization of the political-economic
problem bound up with Russia's ac-
cess to the sea-"
With these aspirations" he con-
tinued, England is in sympathy. What
form their realization will take will
no doubt be settled in the terms of
peace
The announcement of Sir Edward
Grey marks one of the important de-
velopments in the European political
situation since the beginning of the
war. Russia's desire for a warm wa
