DEATH ROLL Will
EXCEED 1880
About 700 Escaped From Lusitania
of Whom As Have Since
ALL THE MISSING GIVEN UP
only Problem is to Identify the
Nameless Dead" Says Cunard
Official.
ALL THE MISSING GIVEN UP

London, May 1O.-"The only
problem now is to identify the name
less dead"
Thus Superintendent Dodd of the
Cunard company dashed any linger-
ing hope that there might be fur
ther survivors of the Lusitania.
So far as can be ascertained about
200 persons escaped when the Lusi-
tania took her fatal plunge after be-
ing struck by German torpedoes. but
of these forty-five have died from
exposure or from injuries. The
death roll as estimated here totals
we'll over 1900.
Lord Messy is to conduct an in
quiry into the sinking of the vessel,
and until that begins official opinion
as to how the Lusitania came to be
caught and why so many lives were
lost will remain secret. The gen.
eral unofficial opinion is that several
the task of attacking the Cunard
liner and that they Unanswered her
into position where she could not
escape.
Passengers say that for some time
before the first torpedo was fired the
Lusitania had altered her course and
they ascribe this to the fact that one
of the German submarines had
shown herself, sending the big liner
in the direction where other under
water craft were waiting to strike
with their deadly torpedoes.
These submarines nava, experts
believe are of the latest type, of
probably 1,4OO tons and much more
powerful than any possessed by 9TH
er navies.
Beyond anger at the Germans the
catastrophe has had no effect on the
British people. Steamers are arriv-
ing and departing as usual and even
the steamers to Ireland are being
freely patronized.
The heavy loss of live on the LUIS
itania was due, in the belief of res
cued passengers, to the fact that
some officers at least treasured them
after the first torpedo struck, that
the Lusitania would remain afoat
and could make Queenstown. Pre-
parations it is true were made to
launch the boats, but before this
could be done second torpedo hit
the steamer and she listed so badly

entered into with the British gov
eminent and had no guns aboard. 3
Among diplomatists and officials
the all-absorbing topic was the prob
able attitude of the United States.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, returned to the en-
bassy but declared that no express
sion would be given without instruc-
lions from Berlin.
= The unofficial Austro-German
opinion here, however, emphasizes,
to justify the act, the presence OF
ammunition on a passenger ship,
and argues that the sacrifice of pas
sengers was less in the balance than
the toll that would have been taken
by the ammunition had it reached
the allies.
During the day the German am
bassador received an anonymous let
ter warning him that the embassy
would be blown up at 1882 a. m. to-
day. He turned it over to the po-
lice.
All eyes continued to be focused
on the White house. Only the presi-
dents most intimate advisers know
of the complexities of the problem
before him. 1t not only concerns the
attack on the Lusitania but a SER
les of incidents indicating period
of strained relations with Germany
for many weeks.

Farmer Fatally Shot.

Cherokee, Ia, May 10.-George
Anderson, a young farmer living in
Diamond township, was accidentally
shot and killed while hunting
gophers. The hired man, attracted
by the shot, found Anderson lying
near the fence, and assistance was
speedily secured. The wound, how
ever, proved fatal almost immedi-
ately. 1t is supposed that the trig-
ger caught while he was climbing
over the fence. His mother and faith

And this is the kind of reputa-

disappearing the matter. Mayor
Banks has not opposed anything the
council has proposed except in rela-.
ton to the Office of city superintend-

when Mayor Banks appointed the
city superintendent as required by
law and ordinance, the council re-
fused to recognize his rights in the
matter and have been seeking the
past month to overthrow his action.

understood that the mayor Is

alton. He is simply insisting upon
performing the duties of his Office. |

Another factor was the extreme
confidence of the passengers them
selves in the infallibility of the wat
er-tight compartments. According
to steward they would not believe,
even after the second torpedo struck
that the ship would go down.
