ish Isles; that in accordance with no.
tfee given by the German government
vessels flying the flag of Great Britain
are liable to destruction in those wa.
ters and that travellers sailing in the
war zone on ships of Great Britain or
her allies do so at their own risk. The
advertisement was signed "Imperial
German Embassy"
This warning apparently did not
cause many cancellations for the ship
sailed with very full passenger list.
just before the steamers departure a
number of the passengers received tele-
grams warning them not to sail on the
vessel as it would be torpedoed.
A. G. Vanderbilt Got Message
Alfred G. Vanderbilt was one of the
passengers who received such mes
sage. He destroyed it without COM
ment.
Charles P. Sumner, general agent of
the Cunard line, was at the pier and
in a statement made then, said that
the voyage of the Lusitania would not
be attended by any risk whatever as
the liner had speed of % and half
knots and was provided with unusual
water tight bulkheads.
In commenting on the report of the
torpedoing of the Lusitania to-day
marine men pointed out that in their
opinion the Lusitania could not be sunk
by single torpedo.
The Lusitania was delayed for more
than two and half hours in sailing
for Liverpool last Saturday on account
of having to take over the 1853 pas
sengers from the Anchor liner Gamer
onia, which was chartered at the last
minute by the British admiralty.
Others Ignore Warning
Charles T. Bowring, head of the
firm of Bowring Brothers, and presi-
dent of the st. Georges Society, was
one of the passengers who sailed on
the Lusitania. He commented on the
advertisement appearing in the Ger
man papers characterizing it as silly
performance and below the dignity of
a diplomatic representative of any for
eign government.
Alexander Campbell, general man
a,ger for John Dewar & Sons, London,
who also sailed, referred to the adver-
tisement as tommy rot"
Other passengers on the Lusitania
included Ebert Hubbard, publisher of
"The Philistime;" d. A. Thomas, the
wealthy Welsh coal operator and his
daughter, Lady Mackworth, the Eng
lish suffragette. All these persons took
occasion to say that they saw nothing
to worry at in the advertisement.
List of First Cabin Passengers
The following is list of the first
cabin passengers aboard the Lusitania:
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Adams, Boston.
A. H. Adams, New York.
Lady Allen and Maid, Montreal.
Miss Anna Allan, Montreal.
Miss Gwen Allan and maid, Mon
treal.
M. N. Allan, New York.
