ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS miles from

Friday by a German submarine and
sent to the bottom of the sea. LIB
lives were lost of which 115 were
American citizens.
The submarine is believed to have
sent two torpedoes crashing into the
side of the great liner.
The Lusitania was steaming along
10 miles off Old Head light, kinsale
on the last leg of her voyage from
New York to Liverpool, when about
2 O'Clock in the afternoon, while most
of the passengers were at luncheon,
submarine suddenly appeared, and, so
far as all reports go, fired two tor
pedoes without warning at the steam
er. One struck her near the bows,
and the other in the engine room.
The powerful agents of destruc-
ton tore through the vessels side,
causing terrific explosions. Almost
Immediately great volumes of water
poured through the openings and the
Lusitania listed.
Boats, which were already swung
out on the davits. were dropped

with passengers who had been APP
palled by the desperate attack. A
wireless call for help was sent out,
and Immediately rescue boats Of all
kinds were sent out both from the
neighboring points along the coast
and Queenstown.
But within 10 minutes, as one sur
vivor estimated, and certainly within
half an hour, the Lusitania had dis

The following official communica-
ton was issued Saturday night:
THE Cunard Liner Lusitania was
Friday torpedoed by German sub
marine and sank.
1.-The Lusitania was naturally
armed with guns, as were recently
most of the English mercantile
steamers. Moreover, as is well
known here, she had large quaint
ties of war material in her cargo.
Her owners, therefore, knew
to what danger the passengers
were exposed They alone bear all
the responsibility for what has hap
pened.
Germany, on her part, left
nothing undone to repeatedly and
strongly warn them. The imperial
ambassador in Washington even
went so far as to make a public
warning, so as to draw attention to
this danger. The English press
sneered then at the warning and
relied on the protection of the Brit.
