MORE THAN ONE TORPEDO
USED, OFFICERS Think
Not Tear Open Enough Compart-
ments to Sink Ship.
THIS is VIEW IN WASHINGTON
Pointed Out. However, That Inside
Explosions Following the Attack
Might Have Aided in Work of
Destruction.

WASHINGTON, May NAVAL Of
ficcrs here think the Lusitania prob
ably was struck by more than one
torpedo. IT, as reported she remained
anoat only thirty minutes after the
first explosion. The ship was so con-
structcd. they say. that. except under
extra ordinary conditions, single tor
pcdo could not sink her.
1t was pointed out however. that
inside explosions following the attack
might have aided in the work of de-
struction. The ship is understood to
have carried vast quantity Of war
material for the allies
If all of the passengers and crew of
the ship were removed in her boats
after she was torpedoed. the officers
and crew of the Lusitania accomplished
an almost impossible task some Of
hcers said. The ship carried the full
complement of boats and Of liferafts
required under American navigation
laws, and. undoubtedly. all boats were
swung out and provisioned as soon as
the steamer cleared New York harbor.
and remained so all the way across 1t
was suggested, however, that the task
OF getting into the boats nearly 1000
persons, many OF them women, hardly
seemed possible OF accomplishment in
thirty minutes.
The Lusitania was a double skinned
ssel. with many watertight sub
divisions. and officials asserted that
the most powerful torpedo known could
not tear open enough compartments to
send the ship to the bottom.
Navy officers predicted that one eff
feet OF the loss OF the Lusitania would
be popular demand in England for
energetic action by the feet.
Some officials Of the State DEPART
ment credited reports that German
base tor submarine raids had been es-
tablished in some hidden cove, known
only to the native smugglers on the
Irish coast. Navy officials, however
did not share this view Information
has reached the Navy Department that
German submarines have completely
circumnavigated the British Isles. maxi
Ing voyages OF 5000 or 5000 miles II
this Is true. and the report apparently
was accepted at face value. the under
water ambuscade to which the Lusi-
tania fell victim was comparatively a
simple matter.

NEW YORK. May 7.--Experts on the
relationship OF warning nations to-da y
agreed In declaring the torpedoing of
the Cunard liner Luistania violation
or international law. They prcdicatcd
their statements. however. on press re-
ports declaring the ship had been de-

Frederick r. Coudert international
law expert of the firm Of Coudert
Brothers, said:
~ great deal depends upon whcth er
: the Lusitania was sunk with the loss
OF American life in regard to the in
tercsts OF the United States in the
matter
But ruthlessly to sink "a merchant
ship upon the open seas. endangering
the life Of citizens Of a neutral country,
is an act Of barbariiy without prece-
dent.
If this has been done. II is NJ to
the government of the United states

and see its citizens killed or take
measures to protect its citizens in

Or. f c. s,owen professor OF in

said:
international complications arising
from the sinking Of the Lusitania de-
pend largely on circumstances To

ton OF international law. and con-
trary TO guarantees of safety 10 those

Il believe further that If the war
keeps up much longer all the warning
nations together will have a sufficient
number of submarines in action to
drive all transoceanic commerce from
the seas Judging by the news of to-
day. their FIRST attack will be on the

The fact ot the warnings that pre-

PRESIDENT INFORMED
OF DISASTER TO SHIP
President Wilson had just finished
luncheon. and was about to leave the
White House for drive when he
learned OF the sinking of the Lusitania.
Al the Cabinet meeting less than
an hour before, the torpedoing of the
American steamer Gulflight had heen
discussed. and party of Cabinet mem
bers had gathered for luncheon at a
nearby hotel, where the news OF the
Lusitania was taken to them. All the
secretaries Immediately hurried back
to their Offices
The Presidents question Of the secre-
tary who brought him the DISPATCHES
was whether any lives had been lost,
and his relief was evident when he
was told the first dispatches indicated
that all had been saved. He aban-
doned his ride to keep in close touch
with the State Department., which soon
after transmitted to him Ambassador
Pages cablegram. which was the first
official information to reach the gov
eminent. and kept to his study for the
remainder of the afternoon reading dis
patches as the secretaries brought
them in. He made no comment.
The degree of concern which the adj
ministration would feel in the incident
officials stated, would be measured by
whether any American lives were sac
riticed in the German coup TO sink the
big liner. AS the later dispatches came
in. indicating that the efforts to save
life had been successful, profound re-
lief was apparent.
Even though il had been feared tina
the liner might be attacked. TO the
