Life Loss Through Sinking
 of Lusitania Second Only to Titanic Disaster.
PIRACY" SAYS TEDDY
Former President Characterizes At. tack on LnSitania as "Piracy of Worst SOrt"-Ocean Claims
 Thousands Since 1890.

The greatest marine disaster in history was the sinking of the steam ship Titanic, on Monday, April 15, 1912, when the vessel ran into an iceberg, crumbled like so much paper and sank with the loss of 1907 lives.
 Universal condemnation of the of- ficers of the Titanic, and especially of the officers of White Star line, because of allegations that the yes sel was not proceeding with due cau- tion through a sea made dangerous because of the presence of icebergs, and that efforts were being made to establish a speed record, rather than to safeguard the lives of the passeng- CTS.
 The partial list of those lost through the sinking of the Cunard impossible the loss of life will ex- impossible the loss of life will ex- ceed that occasioned by the loss of the Titanic-most certainly the loss of life through the Lusitania will be- close second to that record estab- Eshed by the Titanic.
 The world was mortified when the Titanic sunk. The world is aghast at the sinking of the Lusitania. Carelessness, recklessness, was re- sponsible in the case of the Titanic. Utter indifference. to the fate of neu- trals, what former President Roose- welt denominates as "piracy of the worst sort" is to blame in the case of the Iusitania.
