The Handling of the Lusitania.

Capt. Turner's statement regard
ing the course of the Lusitania after
she was struck by the German tor
pedo clears up some of the doubt re-
specting the slownesS in handling the
boats after she was struck. He said
she was proceeding under reduced
speed on account OF the fog and
partly because Of the desire to strike
the right tide condition at Liverpool.
The first blow disabled the engine
and made it impossible to reverse the
propeller> and check the headway.
Consequently il was unsafe to lower
the boats Immediately on account Oh
the speed OF the vessel. Indeed. says
the commander. there was a perceptl-
bic headway on the Lu>itania when
she sank.
This condition may account Tor the
apparent slachne>, of discipline on
board the ship when she was struck.
Naturally the passengers expected the
boats to go overheard at once. and.
not finding them lowered promptly
alter the explosion. concluded that
there was fault OF the part of the
crew. Moreover. the Immediate list
ing of the vessel 10 >tarboard rer-
dered useless the boats on the port
with the others when the Lu>itania
entered the danger zone.
hs for the responsibility tor send
ing the Lusitania into the field OF
known danger. il cannot now be dc
termlned, Ii appears that Capt. Tur-
ner was warned by the British adj
miraity that submarines were wait
ing for his ship. and the first lord oi
the admiralty. MIR Churchill. states in
the house OF commons that the gov
ernlnent cannot spare naval vessels
10 convoy merchant ships. Doubtle, =,
there was another reason than thc
lack OF conveying vessels ior the fail
urc to give the Lusitania an escort
It was perhaps thought that ii not
escorted she would he much less like
ly to be attacked, or perhaps the
government al London concluded
that by leaving her to her own de-
vices she would have d better chance
TO escape. and She would be made a
more conspicuous mark by the pres
ence OF destroyer>. All this is likely
to be canrasscd thoroughly in Lord
Mcrsey's inquiry

American Heroes.

Throughout the stories told by sur
vivors of the Lusitania runs the
thread OF heroism on the part of the
distinguished Americans whose death
is now generally mourned in this
country. As in the case OF the
Americans on the Titanic. whose
calmncss and courage marked the
last hours OF that doomed ship, these
men did all they could to succor the
helpless victims OF the German sub
marine. in one particular instance at
least giving up life belt III order

chance TO escape On the Titanic

known. practically surrendered their
chances OF escape in order that others
might live, and SO on the Lusitania
deeds of quiet heroism were perform
ed by citizens, of this country which
today, as they are related, make the
American people extremely proud of
their dead compatriots.
