Results Still in Doubt
The exact status of affairs in the
great battle of Western Galicia re-
mains in doubt. German and Austrian
reports of q spectacular victory are
increasingly optimistic. They state
that the resistance of the Russians is
being broken down steadily and that
the whole Carpathian army of the
russians has been placed in a precar-

At 1:22 p. m. the International News
Service received a dispatch from its
London bureau stating that Lloyds
reported the Lusitania had been tor

agency dispatcn received in New York.
The first announcement made by the
Cunard office was as follows:
THE Cunard Steamship Company
has received an unconfrmed report of
the Lusitania having been torpedoed
by submarine off the Irish coast
ANY information positively con-
flrming or denying this report will be

Many wild and conflicting reports
were in circulation when the state
ment was issued by the Cunard line.
One was that the Lusitania had been
torpedoed al 500 o'clock this morn
ing. Another was that the liner had
noon and had sunk in thirty minutes.
The Lusitania sailed from New
York for Liverpool last Saturday with
1883 passengers, the largest number
carried eastbound by any trans Allan
tic liner leaving New York this year.

ing them that a trip on the Lusitania
meant death. Later it was denied that
any kilograms had been received by
passengers, but warning had been
given in other ways.
Extraordinary precautions had been
taken by the Cunasd line to prevent
German spies from getting on board
and to keep mysterious packages,
which might contain explosives, from
getting upon the ship.
