Speed Swamped Boats.

According to several members of the
crew of the Lusitania, whose statements
are corroborated by passengers. the
swamping Of the lifeboats was due to the
high speed of the vessel. They say that
after the first torpedo exploded the cap
tain gave the order for full steam ahead.
and that the vessel was making twenty
one knots when the second torpedo
severed the steampipes from the engines
This made impossible the immediate
slowing down of the engine
The speed with which the Lusitania
plunged ahead, Notwithstanding her heavy
list to starboard, caused the lifeboats to
foul the davits.
Will Continue to Sail.
Members of Lloyds said today they
did not believe the sinking of the
Lusitania would affect shipping. and
declared that sailings would continue
as usual.
The London Standard has received
dispatch from Queenstown saying that
when the German torpedoes exploded
inside the Lusitania they emitted SUI
locating and sickly fumes, which
stupefied many of the passengers.
Lloyds Weekly says that Detective
Pierpont of Liverpool arrested three
Germans aboard the Lusitania. When
the ship was torpedoed they were

RIG IGERERGS SIGHTED
 AROUND NEWFOUNDLAND

St. Johns. N. E. Aug. 2oThe pro- cession of icebergs which has con tinueds through the waters about much later than usual this summer has not yet ended, ac- cording to reports brought by mail stamers just returned from Labra- dor Large numbers of bergs were sighted, some Of them stranded in shallow bays or on the outer sub merged lodges and some drifting fsouthward towards the trans Atlantic staner lanes. F'loe ice, however, has disappeared.
 The United States coast guard cut ters Seneca and NIisnli, which have conducted a five months ice patrol off the Grand Banks this year, have finished their work for the season. The Seneca kept in touch with one large iceberg for 13 days, watching it's drift eastward in the Gulf Stream. sometimes at the rate of 20 miles a day, until it gradually melted into a .sgrowler.'' The patrol has been of much assistance in enabling ocean liners to avoid the ice.

PRESIDENT POINCARE,
 55 TODAY COMES OF ssCLOSE-FISTEDr TRIBE

President Poincare of France will be the reel ptent of a. multitude of con- gratulatory messages today, for this is the ffty-ffth birthday of the man who is now one of the popular idols of sslag republique." In the past French presidents have been little more than hgureheads of the state but in the present great crisis M. Poincare has shown himself a real leader. while at no time exceeding his constitutional limitations. Since the war began he has spent much time at the front. and his presence has always inspired
 the French troops to greater deeds or valor. On several occasions the Ger
 mans have learned in advance of the
 Presidents visits to the battle lines, and have greeted him with a right royal salute of shells, but he has a1-
 ways escaped unscathed. The sol- idarity and unity of France in the face of the foe have excited. the won der of the world, and ths spirit of 1oy- atty was inspired in no small part by the President. According to the phil ologists, the Presidents name means
 'square-hsted.'' M. Pofncare is scholar and author of such distinction that. his name was enrolled some six years ago among the 40 immortaIs of the French Academy. It is note worthy coincidence that 4the chief ex- ecutives of the worlds two greatest republics are men of great learning -sAAeN A1 VI e~A y c1OAAlIy.f He FTSncu President never drinks alcoholic liquors. and he has set an example in teetotalism which millions of other F'renchmen, in the stress of war have emulated. As a lawyer M. Poincare ranked among the greatest in France, and he sacrificed a practice paying him $80,00o 9 year in order to be- come Premier in 1912. His sa 1ary as a cabinet member was only S8O0O
 but as President he receives $240, ,OO0
 per year Most of this he has been
 obliged to spend in maintaining the csgnity of his position, and when his term as President expires he will be debarred from resuming the practice of law and will be politically dead" if precedent prevails M. Poincare Wssss. born at Bar-1e-Duc, and as, a. kyoung man he entertained journalistic ambitions and contributed tsthrillers'' to the newspapers of his native town.

PUBLIGaS SCHOOLS.

The first public school in New England was launched a.tS Newport, R. l., 275 years ago today, when the freenen of Rhode Island voted to support such an institution to be con- ducted by Rev. Robert LenthaI, a Church of England clergyman. In the colonial days in America little thought was given to the education of the children of the 1tcommon'' peo- pie, and among the welI-to-do the opinion generally prevailed that such people were better off without any education. The Rhode Islanders did
 not share this view, however, and when Rev. Lenthal proposed to keep a public school for the learning of youth" he found ready support for his project. He was granted 100 acres of land to be laid forth and appro- priated for a school. for encoura ss- ment of the poorer sort, to train up their youth in learning Lentha1 did not long remain at Newport as a school teacher, but returned to Eng land a year or two later Others took up the work, however. and since 164o Rhode Island has not been without a
 public school. 9#
