MIGHT HAVE SAVED BIG LINER
Hydro-AeropIane Flying Ahead of Lusi-
tania Would Have Detected Sub
marine, Say Experts.

Chicago, May IA hydro-aeroplane
flying ahead of the Lusitania would
have detected the submarine and pre-
vented the explosion which sank the
ship, say experts.
In order that America may be pre-
pared with plenty of experienced avia-
tors, if this nation is drawn unwilling
ly into the worldwide conflict, the
Aero club of Illinois has joined the
movement to raise 100000 with which
to conduct series of long-distance
flying contests this summer.
Charles S. Dickinson, president Of
the club, said:
''No British warship proceeds with
out a convoy of hydro-aeroplanes and
no submarine can reach one of the
ships with these watchers above them
in the air. Such watchman ahead of
the Lusitania for the last so miles
of its course would have served the
same purpose.
America should have hosts Of cap
able flyers. They would be Invaluable
in times OF stress to save human lives.
The government cannot have them
ready in time of need unless they are
trained in advance. Capable aviators
do not develop over night"

land. It will not act on the recon-
mendations Of local committees, COM
mittees of employers and workmen in
the districts affected.
Mr.. Lloyd George has promised to
appoint committee to inquire into the
charges of drunkenness among work
men and all parties, including the La
borites. have expressed their satisfac-
tion with the bill.
The government viii absolutely con-
troll the sale of liquor in selected dis
tricts, including that dispensed by

Kinsale Head to continue their inves-
tigation in behalf of the government
Consul Frost has been indefatigable
in assisting the American survivors
and attending to their wants. He has
supplied many of them with money to
reach their destination. All the iden-
titled American dead have been claim
ed by the consul, even in cases where
no requests from relatives have been
received. The bodies are being en-
balmed as rapidly as the work can
be done.
The survivors are beginning to re-
cover from their shock, and told more
coherent stories of their experiences.
Unlike those. who were on the Titanic
when she was sunk, they had SO lit
tie time for observation that none of
them can relate more than what hap
pened very near them, with the result
that little light has been shed on the

.LUS|TAN|A WAS HIT
BY SINGLE TORPEDO
THIS DEADLY MISSiLE SENT
LINER TO BOTTOM SAYS
THE CAPTAIN.
WHOLESALE MURDER CHARGE
Jury Brings In Verdict Against Ger.
man Kaiser and His Government
-Merchantmen Must Look
After Themselves.

London, May 12.-The Cunard line
steamship Lusitania, which was sunk
last week off Old Head Of Kinsale by a.
submarine, was struck by only one tor
pe0o, according to the testimony of
Captain Turner of the steamer, given
at the coroner's inquest at Kinsale.
But this deadly missile found a vital
spot and sent the liner to the bottom
in less than 20 minutes, carrying with
her over a thousand souls.
The evidence Of Captain Turner,
which cleared up many other points,
concerning the disaster, and that Of
other members of the crew of the YES
sci with general knowledge of the
situation, led the jury to bring in a
verdict of wholesale MURDER" against
the German emperor and. his govern
ment and the officers of the submarine
directly responsible for the sinking
of the ship.
Warned of Submarines.
It also was disclosed by Captain
Turner and by Winston Churchill,
first lord of the admiralty, in a state
ment in the house of commons, that
the captain had received wireless ad-
vices from the admiralty in regard to
the presence of submarines on the
liners course. Captain Turner in his
testimony said he had followed this
advice Ito the best of his ability
Meanwhile the cause of the heavy
loss of life, the absence of any naval
escort for the threatened vessel and
the suddenness with which she sank
afford room for much speculation.
Captain Turner, in declaring that one
torpedo did all the damage, said the
second explosion which the passengers
heard was an internal one, and that
the engines having been put out Of
commission it was impossible to stop
the Lusitania and permit her boats
being lowered properly.
Death Toll No Surprise.
This idea of an internal explosion
is supported by naval experts, who
point out that If the torpedo had ex.
ploded on contact the steamer would
have only been disabled or had one
or two Of her compartments flooded.
1t was evident, however, they say, that
if the torpedo penetrated the hull end
the charge of 240 pounds of explo-
sive was detonated it would have ere
ated an effect similar to the explo-
sion Of a magazine within the ship.
There is little wonder, therefore, they
say, that the Lusitania sank SO rapid
ly or that so many persons were kill.
ed by the fumes Of the explosion.
On the question of why no naval es-
cort accompanied the Lusitania, Mr..
Churchill explained in the house Of
commons that the policy of the ad-
miralty Is that merchantmen must
look after themselves. This policy
was due to the fact that the admiralty
had not sufficient destroyers to escort
all merchant ships, they being requir-
ed to guard the continuous stream of
troops from England to France, and
to protect the English coast from Ger.
man raids.
