More Survivors Landed.

Queenstown, Ireland, May S.-Va-
rious craft that had been sent to the
scene of the sinking of Lusitania
have returned, all Of them bringing
survivors. No trace has been found
of Alfred G.. Vanderbilt and Charles
Frohman. The dead now here num-
Der 124. Many of them women.
Both men and women rescued, if
they are able to walk, refuse to re-
main in hotels and lodging houses,
where the Cunard line owner of the
Lusitania engaged accommodations
for them. They haunt the docks,
waiting and watching for friends,
and relatives.
Five minutes after the Lusitania
was hit, there was a second torpedo
amidships, that listed the vessel so
lifeboats on one side could not be
launched. AS the liner went down,
passengers, battling for life, called
relatives and friends or babe each
other goodby. Small boats which got
away, picked up many survivors.
Others were compelled to remain in
the water, in many cases, four or
more hours, before rescuing steam
ers picked them up.

Nothing But Piracy, Says Roosevelt.

Nothing But Piracy, Says Roosevelt.
Syracuse, N. Y, May S.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt, former president of
the United States, after learning de-
tails of the sinking of the Lusitania
late, made this statement:
"This represents not merely pira-
cy, but piracy on a vaster scale Of
murder than any old time pirate ever
practiced. This is the warfare which
destroyed Louvain and Dinant and
hundreds of men, women and chill
dren in Belgium. 1t is warfare
against innocent men, women and
children, travelling on the ocean,,
and to our fellow country women,
who are among the sufferers.
cit seems inconceivable that we
can refrain from taking action in
this matter, for we owe it not only
to humanity, but to u own nation
al s%elf-respect."
