ton for the acts already committed
and as q guarantee against their repe-
tition. This would, of course. be equiv

more elaborate plan. partly Ger
man in origin, suggests that this ac-
ton be taken. and then followed up
with other measures designed to COM
pei both Great Britain and Germany
to observe international law. After
seizing the ships, it is proposed, the
President might ask Congress to grant
him authority to impose an embargo
on arms and ammunition. The threat
of this action. it is predicted, would
find Great Britain quickly yielding to
the United States with regard to her
so-called blockade. Germany, on the
other hand. has already given assur-
ance that she would abandon her sub
marine operations if England would
respect the declaration of London as
to contraband of war and trade
through neutral countries.

Among the saloon passengers relative
calm prevailed. It was the generally &C
cepted idea that the Lusitania would float
and that there was no immediate dan
ger. Cool heads counseled calm and the
more timorous were quieted. with the re-
suit that many of the first cabin passe n
gers who might have been saved went
about their departure leisurey, some
even remaining at table until luncheon
ness.
Then. too, the suddenness with which
the catastrophe struck them prevented
most of the passengers from realizing the
seriousness of their predicament.
Below the scenes enacted were widely
different Women. many of them with
babies in their arms. became panic
stricken. Officers and passengers did
their best to calm them. assisting them
TO the boat stations.
Fumes arising from the explosion per-
meated the ship and many fell uncon-
scious to the deck. Others. dazed by
the catastrophe. were helpless in their
panic OF fear and had to be assisted 10
the side.
Knives and hatchets finally were resort
ed to to cut the boats away. and finally
upward of twenty boats were put into
the water. Several of these were swamp
ed when they struck the water: others
were capsized in the swell from the ship.
Lift belts had been distributed among
the passengers, but many passengers did
not wait to equip themselves with the
preservers. Some jumped over the side
and were knocked unconscious when they
struck; others leaped with lift belts on
and swan to overturned boats, there to
await the coming of other swimmers to
right the craft.

II was learned yesterday that Mr.. Hub

to secure his passport for his trip TO Eu-
rope. where he was TO write newspaper
articles on the war In answering the
usual questions al the State Department.
II developed that his conviction for an
offense against the postal laws in 1918 de-
prived him of the right TO receive gov
ernment credentials. Mr.. Hubbard ex-
planned that following the advice OF his
lawyer he had pleaded guilty 10 a techni-
cal ohense against the postal laws ana
was alarmed later that in doing so he
had pleaded guilty TO a felony and had,
therefore. lost his rights TO citizenship.

recommended the pardon. The President

torpedo was mistaken for the impact of
a third. BY this time, despite the torn

Safe"
This brief but eloquent word broke
hours OF nerve-racking suspense and
awakened joy in two Washington homes
early yesterday morning. The word wal
contained in cabiegrams from the resi-
dents of Washington who were aboa rd
the Lusitania.
The frs. cablegram was delivered at
the apartment Of Frederick J. Gauntlet
in the Parkwood shortly after o'clock
and Mrs. Gauntlet wept with joy when
she read the message. Mr.. Gauntlet in
formed his wife that both he and his
sister-in-law. Miss Dorothy Conner. OF
Medford. Greg. were safe in Queenstown.
Mrs. Gauntlet previously had been in
formed that her husband was reported
saved.
The second telegram was from Dr..
Howard Fisher a brother of former
Secretary Of the Interior Walter Fisher
The message merely announced that Dr.
Fisher WAS safe in Queenstown. The ca
bic reached DR.. Fishers apartments in
the Mendoza shortly before o'clock in
the morning.
Mr.. Gauntlet left here April % to
sail on the Lusitania- He was Joined IN

pany. Mr.. Gauntlet sailed as the conf
Dental representative in Europe of the
company.
Dr. Fisher practiced medicine in this
city fourteen wears. He sailed to form

sister-in-law, Miss Connor. was TO be
nurse. They expected to join Harold J.
Rickett in England. and he was TO aid
in forming the unit Mrs. Fisher re-

But on Thursday. society was thrown
into CONSERVATION again by the decla :
ration by Charles A. Skinner that the
cornfiower was the imperial emblem
Society women found that nearly every
available flower the national
flower of some country. But Il was
too late TO order new flowers. SO the
committee in charge of the enterprise
and the board OF the Diet Kitchen and
the pretty flower sellers determined TO
go ahead.
And on Friday the LusitBnia was sent
to the depths of the sea by a German
submarine! Everybody expected the
postponement of tag day until some
more suspicious occasion. But the
charity workers did not put of their
benefit fof ALT the impe ending storm. The
day was fine and the pretty corps of
sellers ready TO go out in their smartest
attire.
And all over was seen the innocent
little Cornfower. which rarely gets in
a florists window. and which should
have its head quite turned by the furore
IL created in Washington society.
