Lusitania.

by Wilbur S. Forrest, United Press
Staff Correspondent
QUEENSTOWN, Ireland, May 10.
In the quiet little cemetery which
lies along a green flower decked hill,
between the harbor and the ancient
Irish city of Queenstown, 140 victims
of the Lusitania tragedy were today
laid to rest. OF these. seventy-six
had been identified. There were six
ty-four whose relatives either had not
been able to recognize their faces,
swollen by the action Of the water or
crushed by the impact of the torpedo
which literally blew the entire bot
tom out of the great liner, or who
were strangers in strange land.
They were held to the very last,
long after the arrival Of the after
noon train, in the hope that relatives
or friends might arrive and their
identity be learned.
Queenstown, a city Of mourning,
left nothing undone to show it's SYM
pathy and sorrow. Each coffin was
flag decorated. On each was placed
bunch of flowers, sorrowing trib-
ute from the women of southern Ire
land. A military escort was provred
to the cemetery and every person
who could do so, accompanied the
collins out through the narrow street.

brow Of the hill to Gods half acre.

I merely want to call attention to a
very grave mistake made in printing
our items last week. I stated that a
small portion of our beloved brethren
attended the ball game and it was
changed to colored brethren. AS we
have no colored individuals in our
community, very likely some Of our
friends took it as an insult, and you
couldn't blame them either. The pub
Usher must have had the colored pop
ulation on his mind. Hoping it will
all be forgotten and taken as a joke
we will quit sending items and give
our space to someone more competent.
We were glad to see another contribu-
ton last week and hope they will be
more successful. Stringtown should
not be forgotten.

Report of County Commissioners

The, ,financial report of the county commissioners will be found in another column. It will be noted that the re- ceipts fell about 1000 short of the Eex. penditures the past year. The jail as usual showed balance on the credit side. The fixed expenses of the county have materially increased the past few years without corresponding in- crease in receipts.
 The increased outlay includes $1,. 600 for the Farmers Association, an additional $500 for the Putnam law li- brary, cost of premiums for liability insurance of county employees. This is extra for this year Other items of expense that did notshave to be met prior to three years ago are, salary and expenses of sealer of weights and measures averagingsf sfrom s700 to sl,- 600. Putnam law library that was first s300 year, was raised to $500 and Is now $500, and there are fears that 1t is still going up. The cost Of forest fires is a considerable item amounting for the current year to si48.
