LOST LUSITANIA
GREATEST TRAGEDY

The loss Of the Lusitania as the re-
suit Of being stru TX by torpedoes from
German submarine. is the most dis
cussed of any question the world over.
The papers in England and many in
America are bitter; those in Germany
take the other view.
What the Ship Contained
Substantially all of the $3.50, 900 cargo
of the Lusitania consisted of contra
band of war, only few items, such as
candy, books, paintings and jewelry
falling outside that category.
In the manifest on file at the customs
house appears 5, 47O cases of cartridges
and ammunition valued approximately
at $500, 900.
Other important items are guam tities
of brass and copper with food items
next in Importance.
Premonition Saves Life
A premonition of disaster was res
ponsible for the fact that Edward B.
, Bowen, wealthy shoe dealer whose
name appears on the ''list of salon cab
in passengers who sailed on the Lusi-
tania," Friday night heard reports at
his home in Newton of the wreck of the
liner
Mr.. Bowen, with important business
awaiting him in London, had engaged
passage on the Lusitania.
Friday night, The explained, "a feel
ng grew upon me that something was
going to happen on the Lusitanla.
talked it over with Mrs. Bowen and
decided to cancel passage. "
Captain at His Post
Captain Turner stood at his post on
| the bridge until his ship went down.
He was rescued three hours afterward
wearing life preserver.
AS Viewed in Germany
Hundreds of kilograms of congratu-
lations on the sinking of the Lusitania
by German submarine have been re-
ceived by Won Tirpitz, father of the
submarine warfare. The newspapers
praise the pluck and daring of the
submarines which, they say, have
avenged the loss of Admiral Won Specs
squadron.
Some of the more violent anti-Ameri-
can newspapers hint that if American
lives are lost Americans will be "onlv
too glad to be compensated with cash.

Warning Given Again
The German embassy has again print

dangerous, and that all persons taking
passage on ships flying the flag of
Great Britain ana her allies do so at
their own risk.
This advertisement appeared origi-
nally week ago just before the Lusi-

submarines may be in waiting for the
