ried, it is understood the line paid a
premium of per cent. and a special
war risk premium of l a per cent. for
each trip. 1t is understood that the
line carried one-third of the insur-
ance, the remainder being divided
among Lloyds and other underwriters.
About one-half the Insurance upon the
cargo was taken by local underwrit-
ers and the rest by Lloyds.
The cargo rate, influenced by the
theory that the fast liner was too
speedy to be caught by a torpedo, was
one per cent, much lower than the
customary transatlantic rate at this
time.
The Lusitania carried $50 bags of
mail. She had no specie aboard. On
her manifest the largest single item
was listed as Cartridges and ammu-
milton. 4,200 cases, $152, 400" The
next item in value was a consignment
of furs. valued at $4,000 for Liver

goods. The vessel carried hundreds

What is America going to do apouN
the torpedoing of the Lusitania? What
is Washington to say about the drown
ing of American citizens? Is America
going to take it lying DOWN.
Mr.. Harrison spoke of Mr.. Frohman
as one of his most intimate friends
and a man whose loss the entire the
atrical world here and abroad will feel
most keenly.
"Only three days ago 1 received a
letter from Mr.. Frohman, written in
New York, April 21," said Mr. Harri-
son, "and in it Mr.. Frohman. after

advertisement reminded the public

enable her to make port safely.
