Lusitania Was Tor
pedoed and Sunk
From Fridays Daily.
BOATS TO THE RESCUE.

AhS Sta-
ard line steamer Lusitania was
torpedoed and sunk. The attack
was made of Old Head, Kinsdale,
a sea port Of Ireland, thirteen
miles southwest of Cork. About
twenty boats of all sorts and those
belonging TO the Lusitania are in
the vicinity where the boat sank.
About fifteen boats are making
for the spot to rescue the passen-
gers, all of whom are believed safe.
The Lusitania sank at 1888 p. m.
STEAMERS TO HER AID.
London, May Tt is believed
the passengers and crew Of the
busitania are safe. No details as
to how they were rescued are at
hand, except the following tele-
gram from Queenstown, stating
that a large steamer and many
small vessels and boat in the vi
cinity are rendering assistance:
"A large steamer has just arrived
in the vicinity and apparently
rendering assistance. Tugs, pa
trolls. etc, are now on the spot
and taking the boats in tow. Mo-
tor fishing boats with two Lusi-
tania boats are bearing probably
for Kinsale.
Immediately the news was re-
ceived that the Lusitania was
torpedoed, relief was Immediately
sent out from Queenstown. II
she fioated a reasonable length of
time before going down it is pos
sible that quite a number of res
cuing ships would get to her side.
1t is believed the Lusitania' wa
ter-tight bulkheads would tend to
keep her afioat. The presence of
German submarines in the trans
Atlantic lanes of travel had been
indicated by the sinking, during
the past few days, of several Brit
ish vessels off lie Irish coast.
It was the Lusitania which last
February made use of the Ameri-
can flag to protect her from pos
sible attack on the part of Ger
man submarines. A report says
the liner was eight miles of the
Irish coast when she went down.
Washington, May THE news
of the torpedoing of the Lusitania
struck official Washington like a
bomb. While disposed to await
the full details before expressing
opinions, all the administration
officials realized that the incident
was the most serious Washing
ton has faced since the beginning
of the war.
London, May Tt is officially
announced that the Lusjtania re-
NAMED afloat at least twenty
minutes after she was torpedoed.
Twenty boats were on the spot
at the time" indicating that all
passengers and crew were saved.

Serbia Now Free
of Dread Typhus

"The typhus epidemic in Ser
bia," stated DR.. Strong, began
last January in the vicinity of
Vallievo, following the Austrian
invasion of the month before,
and spread with such rapidly
that 1t became the greatest cpl
demic of that disease recorded in
modern medical annals.
The epidemic reached its height
in the middle of April Just as the
American mission arrived. New
cases then numbered $500 daily,
but 1t must be remembered that
these were the figures only OF
the victims who came to the
military hospitals. Serbia had
not been able even to keep sta
tistics of the victims among the
civil population and so the above
figures give, as a matter OF fact,
no accurate idea of the extent of
the epidemic.
Death Total 100000.
I'm fact, few figures of any
kind are to be had, but presum-
ably the total deaths from the
epidemic have been about 1907
600 and the number of victims
down with the disease at the
time we took charge was very
likely of equal magnitude.
But by the middle of August
II think ! will be able to guar
antee that typhus will be thing
of the past in Serbia. Not only
that, but we would be greatly dis.
appointed If it ever came again

Spends Time i'm Car.
The full story OF the most re-
markable humanitarian task ever
undertaken by the United States
was today told for the first time
in an interview granted to the
United Press by Dr. Richard p.
Strong. professor of tropical dis
eases at Harvard university and
head of the American mission.
The interview took place in the
little third-class railway car,
which fitted out with beds in one
part and a shower bath in the
other, and with flatcar attached
behind for carrying his automo-
bile and another car in front for
the members of his immediate
staff, has been practically the
only home DIR. Strong has known
in Serbia.
Almost every night of the
