thirty four second cabin passengers were elated over the provision made for them on the fast Cunarder, although they had the alternative of a return of their passage money. There were about 300 third class passengers on the Scotch vessel anxious to get away on the Gu harder, but as their transfer would cause delay of some five hours in the Lusitania's departure they were pro- vided for cn the Pennsylvania.
 RumorS were current on the pier about the hour of sailing that several of the Lusitanias prominent saloon passengers had received telegrams, some anonymous and others bearing fictitious names. advising them not to sail, as the vessel was sure to be tor pedOed. These reports were branded as false by the Cunard officials. A rep resentative of the line said at that time:
 There is not one word of truth in the receipt of these alleged telegran1s by our patrons If such messages had been received the recipients would un- dOubtedly have called it to our atten- tion. There was not a single cancel lation, and that in itself speaks for the absurdity of the reports, which have

perhaps gwen unnecessary alarm to friends of all passengers on the Lusi-
 tana.
 | The vessel can do twenty-five knots
 easily unda" pressure, and there is not
 a submarine on the ocean, or under it, that can catch her at that speed. Be sides the admiralty is taking mighty
 good care of the Lusitania. There is
 absolutely nothing to fear for her
 safety, for she will go up to Liverpool
 as regularly and as surely as she hSs l been doing"
 ! The Lusitania did not get away on
 the scheduled hour of 10 q m, the de-
 lay being caused by the personal iden- tification of all baggage by the passen-
 gers themselves. Long before the traV- elers began to arrive on the pier a score of detectives were on hand
 watching baggage to see that nothing ! menacing was taken aboard. No piece Of baggage was taken aboard the vessel unless it was identi- 1 fled by the owner. and then only after i the owner had shown his ticket and i proved he was the actual owner of the
 ticket This process was slow and ( tedious, and held the liner at her pier
 until 12:30 p. m., when she finally ! backed out into the stream. Alfred G. Vanderbilt was among the
 saloon passengers. He said he was { going abroad on business and pleasure and would remain abroad about three weeks.
 Ebert Hubbard, writer, editor and shepherd Of his flock of Roycrofters at ' East Aurora, accom- panied by his wife, went over on the Lusitania in the hope of getting into Germany and having an interview v-ith the German emperor. ] T used to be on friendly terms W.th the kaiser said the Fra. but I dont ] know how l stand with him now, for ! you know l have written some things 1 he may not have liked"

 make no effort to get into the life l boats if the German threat was put { into practice unless there was some i spare room for him. He said he knew ! the value of advertising, and that if he was torpedoed by the kaiser's navy l men while on his way to see the kaiser

COLE AT HOME

An ingenious little device has been perfected that will permit the practice at home of long drives of a golf ball, without smashing any windows or heads, show the golfer how far his drive would go. and whether it went high or low
 The golf ball is attached to a short cord. which, in turn, is attached to a heavy meter. When the ball is driven it operates two gauges on the meter, one showing whether the shot was high or low, and the other indicating how far a ball would travel ordinarily on the force of that drive.-Saturday Evening Post.

 The final Chinese proposals were therefore refused only to authorize Japan to supply half the arms used by China; to participate in the con- duct of Chinese arsenals; to appoint Japanese advisers to China and to preach Buddhism in the republic.
 The Chinese dislike the require ment insisted upon by the Japanese that China recognize 'Tokio's right to reopen these questions at a flu ture date but they will accept those features unless a few irreconcilables in the councils of President Yuan succeed before next Monday in alter ing the presidents decision
 The ultimatum complains of the Chinese attitude advancing the argu- ment that the Japanese position is designed in part for presentation to the foreign countries. It is consld- cred curious that the ultimatum was written only in Japanese, while all formal documents have been written in both Japanese and Chinese.

British casualties since the beginning
of the war, according to official state
ments to the House of Commons, in.
creased from l30, 347 to 25o,059, or 81
per cent. in seven weeks. This period
covers the Battle of Ypres and opera,
tions at the pardanelles.
Considering the size of the British
land forces that have been engaged
over quarter of a million men rep
resent very severe losses. 1t is signi-
fcant that the casualties include one
officer to every twenty-five men of
other ranks. This is a form Of deprec-
iation that tells very sharply against
an army of volunteers like Great Brit
aims. It's regular army was very
small, and 10y this time has largely
melted away. To fit officers for service
in leading troops in the field is a far
slower process than whipping recruits
into shape.
What figures the French losses have
reached is not known, although it is
reported that their hospitals hold new
err less than 100000. Germany has
lost probably close to 2,225,O'O. When
the final reckoning is made, it will e
