The fact that many automobiles are
running with only one light Is causing
the m~otorcyclists much trouble. They
claim that a number OF auto drivers
have been following this practice late
ly and that when approaching a ma
chine IL Is impossible 10 tell whether

or an automobile. This practice is ex-
tremely dangerous and might lead to
serious accidents. This was empha-

ROOSEVELT CHARACTERlZES SINKING OF LUSlTANIA

Syracuse, N. r., May Theodore Roosevelt, after learning details of the sinking of the Lusitania late to- night. made this statement.
 "Tais represents not merely piracy by piracy on a yaster scale of murder than any old-time pirate ever )rac- ticed This is the warfare which de- stroved Iouvdin and Dnant and hun dreds of men. women and .hiIdren in Belgium.

.LUSITANIA STRUCK
 BY TWO TORPEDOES

Queenstown, May S-l:10 a. m.- The tug Storm Cock has returned here bringing about l50 survivors of the Lusitania, principally pas sengers, among whom were many women, several of the crew and one steward.
 Describing the experience on the vessel, the steward said;;
 The passengers were at lunch con when a submarine came up and fired two torpedoes which struck the Lusitania on the star board side, one forward and the other in the engine room. They caused terrific explosions
 Captain Turner immediately or dered the boats out The ship be- gan to list badly immediately.
 Ten boats were put into the water and oyJFcen 400 and 500 pa sengers entered them. The boat n w1ich was approached the land with three other boats and we were picked up shortly before 1 o'clock by the storm Cock.

Wa5hington May 7 TorpcdOiug of the British liner Lusitania with scores Of Americans on board shocked off cial Hashiugton today as lad no other incident sin 2 the outbreak of the Eu ro can war
 The feeling was widespread if any American lives had been lost the United States, in view Of its strong warning to Germany would Je con frontctd with the necessity of taking steps 10 safeguard the lives of it's citizens on jhe high s45s.
 The sinking Of the LusitanIa marks the climax of a series of incidents since the announcement of the Ger man war zone concerning which the American government has been silent
 It Is not predicted that even though it deyelDs thaat no Am arican lives were lost on the LusItduia, general representations will be made by the United States covering all the cases inyolved-the death of Leon C. Thrasher, an American citizen, when the British steamer Falaba was sunk. the dropping of bombs on the Ameri. can steamer Cushing and the ottacl on the steamer GulfIight, which was wrecked with a loss of three American lives.
 The report that the Lusitanla was torpedoed without warning created a profound sensation, for it is the first case in which this threatened proceed ue has been carried out with Am ri- cans on board a belliserent vessel
 The sinking of the liner revealed an interesting story of repeated warnings which have reached high officials for several days asst of German plan to sink the Iusitania for the phyco- logical effect on Great Britain and the terror it might spread among ocean travellers generally.
 Information gathered among ofti- cials of the government and in q po. matic quarters tended to confirm the belief that plans of the destruction of the vessel were made several weeks ago Further, the German embassy was instructed to advertise in the leading newspapers of the United States warning passengers against travelling on belligerent ships Anony- nous warnings were then sent to in- dividuals who proposed sailing on the l.usitania. Most significant of all were letters received here from off, c.ais in Germany by private persons stating that the Lusitania surely would be destroyed.
 One official was told early today that this was the day selected for the destruction of the vessel.
 Al the German embassy here while no comment was made as to whet6Tf it was known that the vessel was to be destroyed. it was said the embassy knew the Lusitania carried arms and ammunition and being advised Of the resolution Of the German admiralty to attack ships that carried sucA contra band. officials had believed she would be attacked.

mats friendly 10 the Germautc allies there Was a general satisfaction amounting almost to relief when re- ports came that no lives were lost. for it was urged that the purpose of the German submarine campaign was only to destroy British commerce and ships .5ut not lives
 There 0as disposition on the part of the Germans to inquire also whether the Lusitania carried any guns, which might place her in the class of warship and make a warn. ing unnecessary, according to interna. tonal law.
 Officials at the state department said they had not heard that the Lust tania carried any guns Al the British embassy it was revealed that early in the war after the United States gov. ernment had been consulted on the question of small guns for the 1ie liners. the advice was given by the state depar'Went and heeder that no guns be cP sled on the decks
 The British embassy he9~d of the disaster through news disrs s&1 hes and offered no formal comment. though officials stated tho attack was abso- lutely ineXcusable and constituted a most flagrant violation of intema- tional law.
 Officials of the United States gov. crnment Nere slow 10 express any opinion on the diplomatic phaeos of the disaster Secretary Bryan said hs was gratified at hearing reports nat no lives were lost, but declined to comment on the course Of the govern. ment There remains little doubt however tonight in well informed quarters here that the incident w5U be. come a matter of diplomatic core. spondence between the United States and Germany hen complete uforma tion is rece' irrespective of wheth- CT any .citizens of the United States lost their lives

New York, May 7-The first news of the torpedong and sinking of the Cunard liner Lusitania came shortly after l D. m. today through an an nouncenent from the local offices of the Cunard line that an unconfirmed lumor to that effect had been re. celyed from abroad
 Less than an hour later the com pany made public additional messages confirming the report which in the meantime, however, had been verified by newspaper dispatches from Lon don

 This warning, published in the form Of an advertisement. did not result in the cancellation of a single passage, nor did anonymous notes of warning said 10 have been received by some q sssengers just before the big liner left her pier. deter anyone from sail ing
 Reports from Washington that it was privately known in official quar- ters that the Lusitania was 10 be tor 2edoed at the first opportunity gave color to the opinion expressed in ship ping circles tonight that the embassy's warning was intended to apply Dartic- ularly to the Lusitania
 This afternoon and tonight anxious friends and relatives of the Lusi- tania's passengers Desieged the offices of the Cunard line and the scene re. called those at the offices of the White Star line when the Titanic sank three years ago.
 Officials of the Cunard line an- nouncod tonight that they had re- ceived more than 800 telephone and telegraph inquiries relative to the safety of the passengers. Telegrams were received from as far north as Montreal; as far south as Atlanta, and as far west as St Louis.
 Among the well known passengers on the Lusitania are Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, Charles T.

London May 8-The Cmard liner LusItania, which sailed out of New York last Saturday with more than two thousand souls aboard, lies at the bottom of the ocean off the ltisu coast Sle was sunk by German submarine, which sent two torpedoes clashiue into her side, while the pas seneers, seemingly confident that the great swift vesse. could elude the German under-sea craft, were having luncheon.
 How many of the Lusitanias pas seuse.s and crew were rescued can not be told at present but the official statements from the British admiralty up to midnight accounted for not more than 500 or GOO. A ships stew and w1o landed with others at Queens. town, gave it as his opinion that 800 persons were lost
 There were dead and wounded among those brought ashore, some since haa died But not d name of rescued or lost. Of dea5 or injured has yet been listed

MANY AMERICANS
 KILLED ON LUSITANIA

London. May 5-The sinking by a German submarine off Old Head of Kinsale of the Cuuard line steamer Lustania and a possible loss of upwards of one thousand lives. including those of many Americans, is hy far the outstaud- ing feature of the war news.
 Two towcdoes brought about the destruction of the famous liner, which was bound from New York for Liverpool and it is reported that they were sent at her by the underwater boat without warning Within half an hour after they struck the Lusitania had plunged beneath tae waves.

ger list the Lusitania carried 36 who{ were to have sailed the same day ou& the Anchor liner Cameronia. which the last moment was held in port b orders of the British admiralty, prev sumably to be sent to Halifax
 The Lusitania's cargo was valued about $750,000 and contained a larg,I quantity of war supplies. Her man fest included 2S0,000 pounds of bras and copper wire, $G6 1000 worth of mil tary goods, and 5,471 cases of ammu hilton valued at $2O0,00O, all of whic. was contraband of war.
 The ship itself, Cunard officials saidy today was covered by five million dollars war risk insurance
 The news created perhaps the great. est consternataion ill exporting cir cles where the question arose as TO the probable course of the steamship companies in maintaining their sched. ules in the future. There were no cancellations announced today and de- spite the fate of the Lusitania the Cunard line permitted the Anchor line Pennsylvania to sail for Liverpool this evening.
