NEW YORK. May s-with some OF
its best known citizens among the pas
sengers on the Lusitania whose fate
had not been accounted for. and with
growing realization of the awfulness
of the catastrophe and the gravity of
Its international Significance, New York
to-day was a sober city.
Awakening this morning to find that
the hopes of the night before that the
Lusitania's passengers had been saved
were premature. and that the loss of
life might be two-thirds of those
aboard. the whole city seemed stunned.
Distress was In evidence among peo-
PIE In all public places.
The Cunard Limo received and posted
shortly before 10 A. NJ. an incomplete
list OF survivors. which was anxiously
scanned by friends and relatives.
There were touching scenes when
women. the names OF whose loved ones
were among the missing. gave way to
their emotions.
Gloom spread over the theatrical dis
trict when 1t became known that the
body OF Charles Frohman. the theatri-
cal producer. had been picked up among
the dead. and that Charles Klein, an
other theatrical producer, was among
the missing. There was similar de-
preston among friends OF Alfred
Gwynne Vanderbilt, IGlhert Hubbard,
Justus Miles Forman and others from
whom no word had been received.

German Summer Resorts Expect n,

FRANKFORT. May s.-Never in the
history Of the health resorts Of Ger
many, especially those In Bavaria, have
prices been as low as they promise to
be this coming summer. In the alb
sence Of the customary clientele, 1t Is
regarded as likely that the wives and
relatives Of army and navy officials will
come by thousands.
But because these in many cases can
not afford the prices formerly paid, re-
ductions ranging from 25 and 33 per
cent to 30 per cent have already been
agreed upon and announced. In most
cases the usual cure tax" is to be
abated altogether. and the charge for
baths Is to be reduced.

about the girl and the garden.
In the first article appears the fol-
lowing don'ts for the girl who swims:
Don't use a bathing suit which is
more stylish than comfortable. Bath.
ing suits should be loose, especially
about the waist and legs. Bathing
corsets, If worn, should be supple and
not tight. Tights or wooden knee
trousers are better than baggy bloom.

Don't enter the water an inch at

and plunge under quickly. IL a pool
