Finding Of British Board Of Inquiry
Causes Indignation Among the
American Survivors.
FINDING IS DISTINCT SURPRISE

LONDON, July 17.-"Torpedoes
fired by n submarine Of German ma
tionallty caused the loss OF the steam
ship Lusitania and its passengers, {"
according TO the findings of the court
OF inquiry appointed to investigate
the disaster.
The court held that no blame for
the tragedy attached either to Cap
tain Turner, commander OF the yes
sci, or the Cunard line, the owners.
After having carefully inquired into
the circumstances OF the disaster" says
the formal report Of the court, NE court
finds the loss Of said ship and lives was
due to damage caused the ship by tor
pedoes fired by a submarine OF German
nationality.
I'm the opinion Of the court the act
was done not merely with the intention
of sinking the ship but also with the
intention OF destroying the lives Of the
people on board"
Clean Bill for All,
Other salient features OF tho report are
that the lifeboat and lifeholt facilities
were adequate that the demeanor Of the
crew was above all blame and that the
conduct Of the passengers barring q
slight panic when tho steerage passen.
gers came on deck. was prniseworthy.
Tho court also found that the shiT
was unarrped and carried a cargo OF
general ammunition, consisting only Of
5000 cases OF cartridgeA from which
there was no explosion.

tirely OF survivors of the Lustanla anC
