"A world in which labor should con-
troll all means of production, and in
which there should be no such thing as
capital" was held up by Haywood as
his land OF promise. He declared that
only implacable war between labor
and capital, ending with great gen

means of production could bring the
workers to that ideal existence
This lis a class struggle that must

was sea water, but that is impossible.
1t was undoubtedly the contents ot
the great water tanks taken up by
the explosion. / am sure only one
torpedo struck the Lusitania. The ex
plosion put out all lights.
'sThe crew and some of the passen-
gers were now busy with the boats,
though these proved of little use.
There was no panic, Women and
children were given first chance. 1
saw only one man Chamber into a
boat before it was lowered. He re-
fused to get out and a sailor struck
him twice in the back with an ak.
The Marconi operators were working
the emergency outfit, the main install
lation having been put out of gear in
simultaneously after the torpedo ex-
ploded."
Mr. Bernard said that when the Lu-
sitania listed heavily he slipped into
the sea and managed to reach boat.
He concluded: When the Lusitania
went down she caused scarcely any
vortex, but the water boiled up in
great masses in the sea around her,
exactly like the Niagara rapids. When
the sea became smooth again we
could see hundreds of heads and arms
of struggling victims on barrels. deck
chairs and all the fiotsam and jetsam
that had remained of the Lusitania
above the water"

Circular Advertising

: The man who relies on circular ad-
vertising has not stopped to count the
cost. Take for instance that he desires
10 reach $500 homes. These circular
letters, at the very lowest calculation
will cost him 81 80 If he puts ne CEN
stamp on il that would cost S25. if he puts
a two cent stamp on, it would cost him
s5'. Folding and mailing would cost
him SO 90. The very cheire;t grade
manila envelope would cost him $l.59;
the total of this would be S36 if one
cent stamp is used, and SCI if Two cent
is used. Experience has proven that
a very large number of these letters
never reach their destination. Second,
a very large number are thrown into
the waste basket or thrown without
ever being opened. Very few of them
reach the homes.
With a newspaper It'll different. The
paper is taken home. An advertisement
in it has the chance of being read by
five people composing an average family
of five. The paper is lent out to the
neighbors and read by another average
family of five. You can very easily
count on newspaper having circula-
tion of 2. 500 like this one. reaching at
least 5000 homes and read by the aver
age family of five or Is. 600 people each
week.
II can readily be seen that the cost Of
issuing one circular letter would buy bet
ween two or three pages of an eight col
nmn paper one issue, or smaller ad OF
a quarter of page could be run for
two months consecutively for S35,
which is the cost of the circular with a
one cent stamp, or it could be run for
twelve weeks at the cost of circular
with two cent stamp.
II won't do to fly into the face of es-
tablish commercial facts. Successful
advertising is not done in spurts. 1t
brings better results when you keep
the name steady before the people even
though your advertisement may be a
small one. Now is the time TO advertise.

Claim Of German Government, Which

Amsterdam, May Io.-THe German
government issued the following state
ment regarding the sinking of the
Lusitania:
The Cunard liner Lusitan.a vas
torpedoed Friday by German sub
marine and sank. Tae LusitanIa was
naturally armed with guns, as were
recently most of the English mercan-
tile steamships. Moreover, as is well
known here, she had large quantities
of war materials in her cargo. Her
owners. therefore. knew to what dan.
ger the passengers were exposed
They alone bear all the responsibility
for what has happened. Germany. on
her part, left nothing undone to re-
peatedly and strongly warn them.
The imperial ambassador in Washing
ton even went so far as to make a
public warning, so as to draw atten-
tion to this danger The English press
sneered at the warning and relied on
the protection of the British feet to
safeguard Atlantic travel"

London, May 10-The death list OF
the Lusitania, obtained from official
sources, now stands at LIB, of whom
lis were Americans.
Out of the total of 1,917 passengers
and crew aboard, 764 persons, men,
women and children, passengers and
crew, are known to have survived.
and there are GA Americans among
them. They have reported them
selves, or have been reported, and
there is just bare chance that any
more will be found alive.
OF the 764 survivors 462 were pas
sengers and 302 crew. Forty-seven Of
this number are in the hospitals at
Queenstown seriously i'll, of whom so
are passengers and II are crew. Some
of them will die. There are 144
bodies in the morgues at Queenstown
and of this number 81 bodies have
been identified, So from the passenger
list and % from the crew.
There were IA additional identified
tions of the dead at Queenstown, and
among those who were established as
lost were Charles Plamondon of Chi
Gag, DIR. Orr Jacobus and c. T. Brod-
crick. The body of Madame Antoine
De Page, wife of the head of the Bel
gian Red Cross, was also picked out.
Life Boats capsized.
No trace mas been found of the
body Of Alfred G. Vanderbilt nor OF
Lindon Bates, Jr., Justus Miles Fore
man, the writer, nor of Mr.. and Mrs.

rived are confident that Mr.. Wander
bilt perished.
Another passenger gives some word
on the Hubbards. They had come on
deck from the saloon after the blow
and then turned to go below, appar
emily to get life belts. The ship went
down before they could possibly re
turn. 1t is the belief of many, con
/ firmed by the reports of admiralty
and steamship experts, that the Lusi
tania herself coffins hundreds of the
dead, and there is serious discussion
whether an effort shall not be made
to blow up the hull in some way tt
release these bodies. She lies forty
fatnoms below the surface. which
makes it too far down for divers tt

hope to the Cunard line that she may
