A few years ago. the idea OF getting
coal from Spitzbergen, one OF the most
desolate islands OF the Arctic ocean,
was a topic for romancers OF the Sum
day supplement type. Now II is a fact
Of considerable moment in many OF the
worlds markets. A single company.
financed chiefly by American capital,
mined nearly 10000 tons Of coal from
Spitzbergen last year. The deposit
Of fuel in the far North Is said to be
singularly easy to work It comes In

stretching along the coast for 80 miles.
The surrounding rock Is SO solid that
timbering is not needed The temper.
ature Is always below the freezing
point In the present workings, which
does away with the need OF pumps.
In fact the only real difficulty is that OF
getting men-and motion pictures have
gone far to solve that problem Yet
FOR every ton OF coal In Spltzbergen
there are ten in Alaska OF at least
equal quality, closer to n hungry mar.
ket. The arctic zone won't make a
real dent in the fuel market till our
big northwest territory gets in action.

that the ships bulkheads would save her. never will be determined. SURVIVORS DAZED
 BY THE TRAGEDY
tContinued from Page one)

All day yesterday in hotel corridors, balls and reception rooms survivors sat listlessly, still too dazed to dis cuss what had occurred. They were aressed in a variety of garments Some were crying, some were trying to force down nourishment. Tn front of the small Cunard line offices on the water front crowd surged. clamoring for news of relatives.
 Farther down the street crowd orammed the small government tele- graph office where three clerks and hree operators strovc desperately 70 keep abreast of the growing stream Of messages.
 In four morgues lay the dead The body of Charles Frohman, his features 5 placid, lay face upward in a bare room in an old building 100 yards from the waters edge. Around him were ranged 50 bodies over which attend ants were bending, sorting and ticket ing their belongings
 Those men best fitted to chronicle Ebert Hubbard, Justus Miles Forman, Charles Frohman, Alfred Gwynne Van derbilt and others apparently all went to their graves with her.
 The Lusitania's speed at the time she was struck is variously estimated from to 2l knots.
 Survivors and cunard line officials believe that a battery of underwater craft, perhaps four or five, lay in wait, posted advantageously along the route it was surmised the liner would take. It was easy to keep all but the tips of the periscopes submerged and then for the craft nearest to let go torpe- does.
 Every train for Kingston and Ross fare yesterday carried eomplements Of seccnd ard third class passengers and members of the crew. Most of the first cabin surviyors-sadly few in numt CT will remain here temporarily.

JUMPED OVERBOARD AS SHIP WENT DOWN
Dr. Carl E. Foss Describes Final Scenes on Board The Lusitania

London. May 9-ts:oo D. m.)-Dr. Carl E. Foss of Montreal, who leaped into the sea when the Lusitania was going down and was picked up by a boat, said he saw women and children jumping over board. He rescued number, Dr. Foss declared, and revived many.
 AS the Lusitania took her final plunge" Dr. Foss said, T think her boilers must have exploded, because an immense amount of steam and smoke came from the vessel. As she finally disappeared I noticed several boats still hanging on her sides. On the whole there was more disturbance among the crew than among the passengers.
 Before the catastrophe l was on deck and saw something about a quarter Of mile distant which looked like a sub marine. We were going slowly. It Is my impression that two or more sub marnes attacked the Lusitania."
 Charles T. Jeffery of Kenosha, Wis asoribed his escape to an inflatable life jacket he was wearing. MT. Jeffery said he went down with the ship and that when he came up he was surrounded by hundreds of persons making desperate efforts to grab something which would keep them af1oat.

PEOPLE GENEROUS IN
 AID AND SYMPATHY

The townspeople have been generous with aid and sympa .hy. Many sur vivors are dressed as they would have beer if the disaster had occurred at night, for the explosion and the long stru ggle in the water virtually deuuoe them.
 Captain Turner appeared yesterday morning in civilian clothing donated by a local banker, who had extended the hos pitality of his home to the commander. Later in the day he dressed in his stained uniform, which had been dried, and walked with bowed head through the streets recognized by few among the crowd.
 Queenstown was almost as much daZed by the tragedy as those aboard the Lusi- tania. The question on every lip is: "Why did Captain Turner pursue the usual we'll known Cunard line course so close to the
 Irish coast at medium speed and why was not the big liner convoyed?" Several naval officers here say tn, | Lusitania received wireless orders to talk, a course in the middle channel, but tn, ships wireless operator declined to say whether he received such orders. | All day long crowds surrounded tn,
 temporary morgues Although few bodies have been identified, many bear evidenc,
 of having occupied the first-class cabin.

HEAVY MORTALITY
 AMONG FIRST CLASS

In striking contrast to most historic sea disasters, the rate of mortality among hrst-class passengers seems to be heavier tran among any other class on board A large proportion of those saved are mem- bers of the crew, but this is not evil dence of lack of discipline, asmost of them were picked up from the water. The captain of trawler who arrived in the harbor soon after the accident with l46 survivors. mostly women and children. when reproached for not staying longer on the chance of picking up more survivors. said:
 There were many left in the water. but they were dead and many were so mangled l thought it better to bring shore my boatload of suffering women. as they could not have stood much more.
 ihese women presented pitiful sight as they wandered aimlessy about searching without hope for loved ones who must have gone down with the ship.
 Relatives and friends of passengers who had gone in high spirits to Liverpool to meet the incoming ship began to arr rye here yesterday to search for inc missing, but the small roll of survivors meant heartbrealing disappointment for, most of them. One was William Crichton former resident of Baltimore who searched in vain for a trace of his wife
