London, May 1O.-Twelve hundred
and sixteen persons lost their lives,
the British admiralty estimates, when
the Cunard line steamship Lusitania
was torpedoed Friday afternoon OF
Old Head Kinsale on the Irish coast.
The known survivors number only 7O3.
while there were 1919 souls aboard
the great liner when it was attacked.
OF those who were saved 595 were
landed at Queenstown and eleven at
Kinsale, while fifty-two others are re-
ported aboard a steamer. All but one
of the rescue feet of torpedo boats.
tugs and trawlers. which went out
from Queenstown, have reported.
There is a slender hope that fishing
boats may have rescued few more.
The work of compiling lists of those
saved is progressing slowly because
of the indescribable confusion at
Queenstown, but apparently few first
cabin passengers are among the sur
vivors. The United States consul at
that port can account for only fifty
one Americans saved out Of 1873 who
were aboard. His roll does not In
clude the names of Alfred Gwynne
Vanderbilt, Charles Frohman. Ebert
Hubbard, Justus Miles Forman. the
author, or Charles Klein. the play

ROOSEVELT CALLS
II Pure PIRACY

Syracuse. N. Y, May 1O.-When In
formed officially of the sinking of
the Lusitania, Colonel Roosevelt made
the following statement:
Il can only repeat what l said a
week ago when in similar fashion the
American vessel Gulhight was de
stroyed OF the English coast.
81 then called attention to what
had said two months previously. when
the Germans created the war zone
and announced that with mines and
submarines they would commit tbs
deeds that since they have actually
committed; and that these deeds
could by no rule of International law
be regarded otherwise than as pure
piracy"

GERMANY EXPLAINS
d. LuSITANIA SINKING

Berlin, May 1.-THE following dis.
patch has been sent by the German
foreign Office to the German embassy
at Washington:
please communicate the following
to the state department: The Ger
man government desires to express
it's deepest sympathy at the loss OF
lives on board the Lusitania. The re.
sponsibility rests, however, with the
British government, which through its
plan of starving the civilian popula-
ton of Germany has forced Germany
to resort to retaliatory measures.
In spite of the German offer to
stop the submarine war in case the
starvation plan was given up British
merchant vessels are being generally
armed with guns and have repeatedly
tried to ram submarines. 80 that Q
previous search was impossible.
They cannot, therefore, be treated
as ordinary merchant vessels. A re-
cent declaration made to the British
parliament by the parliamentary Sec
T0L6ry Ill auSW0I W QuCSSlOA W A>OAu
Charles Beresford said that at the
present practically all British mer-
chant vessels were armed and provid.
ed with hand grenades.
Besides, it has been openly admit.
ted by the English press that the
Lusitania ON previous voyages re-
peatedly carried large quantities OF
war material. On the present voyage
the Lusitania carried $500 cases OF
ammunition, while the rest OF the car
go also consisted chiefly of contra
band.
"If England, after repeated official
and unofficial warnings, considered
herself able to declare that that boat
ran no risk and thus light heartedly
assumed responsibility for the human
life on board a steamer which, owing
to its armament and cargo, was liable
to destruction, the German govern
ment. in spite of its heartfelt SYM
patty for the loss of American lives.
cannot but regret that Americans
felt more inclined to trust to English
promises rather than to pay attention
to the warnings from the German
side"

Wreckage. The course Of the liner
was at once turned toward shore.
Four torpedoes apparently were fired
at the Lusitania, but only two Of them
found their mark.
The loss of life caused by the tor
pedoes themselves and the explosions
they caused must have been terribly
heavy. The tragic freight of bodies
taken to Queenstown bears evidence
of the havoc wrought. Many Of those
taken ashore were seriously injured
ald more than a score died after they
were removed to Cork and Queens
town hospitals.

Many persons prominent in the
business and social life of New York
city are among those whose names
are missing from the list Of the sur
vivors of the Lusitania.
OF those not reported as being
saved Alfred G. Vanderbilt is one of
the most widely known. 1nheriting
the bulk of the estate of his father,
estimated at $7O.OOO,OO0 to 100000,
900, he is one of the wealthiest men
Of New York.
Mr.. Vanderbilt is survived by wife
and two children. He was twice mar
ried, being divorced from his first wife.

GRANDMA KEPT HER LOCKS

4 SIMPLE MIXTURE OF SAGE
TEA AND SULPHUR.

The old-tima mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray.
streaked and faded hair is grandmotb-
els treatment, and folks are again
using it to keep their hair good, even
color, which is quite sensible, as we
are living 10 an age when youthful
appearance is of the greatest adyant-
age. III
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at hime. All
6rug stores sell the ready-to-use pro-
duct called ''Wyeths Says and Sulphur
Compound" for about 80 cents bottle.
Il is very popular because nobody can
discover it has been applied. Simply
moisten your comb or a soft brush with
1t and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at time; by
morning the grad hair disappears, but
what delights the ladies with Wyetr's
Sage and Sulphur is that, besides beau
titully darkening the hair after few
applications, it also produces that soft
lustre and appearance of abundnce
which is so attractive; besides, pre-
vents dandruff, itching scalp and fall
ing hair.
