That tho liner Lusltania was destroyed
with loss OF more than 1000 lives by
two torpedoes fired by German sub
marine without warning and not by an
explosion OF ammunition In her cargo is
the chief feature OF the verdict rendered
today by Lord Mersey, who presided at
the investigation into the sinking of the
Cunalder ON May Z.
The verdict critlcises the failure of Cap
tain William T. Turner to follow the d-
miralty but sums up the Judgment
against the German Admiralty in these
words:
''The whole blame for the catastrophe
was solely upon those who plotted and
committed the crime"
In the verdict Lord Mersey emphasized
these points:
First. The Lusitania was struck almost
simultaneously by two. torpedoes.
Second The liner was attacked not
merely with a view TO sinking her, but

Riga Is much more important city than
Libau, which has been occupied by the
Germans. 1t Is a wealthy seaport, and
one Of Rusa's two great naval bases in

the last few months penetrated to within
a few miles OF the city, but these were
little more than cavalry raIding parties.
The present advance, however, appears to
be supported by strong forces.
