Splinters of steel few high in the air
and the great boat shook from stem
to stern. Almost Immediately after
ward another explosion followed. The
second torpedo completed the tragedy.
Fumes from the explosive permeated
every section Of the smashed steamer.
Many Of the passengers fell to the
dock unconscious. Others staggered
to the boats and were helped on
board.
Many Boats Made Useless.
The steamer was listing 70 etar-
board and many Of her boats were
useless. The loss of life caused by
the torpedoes themselves and the ex.
plosions they caused must have been
terribly heavy. The tragic freight OF
bodies taken to Queenstown bears evil
dence OF the havoc wrought Many Of
those taken ashore were seriously In
jured and more than a score died after
they were removed to Cork and
Queenstown hospitals. A long line OF
stretcher-bearers marched from the
piers as tugs and trawlers arrived.
The people of the Irish city opened
their homes to those who had been
saved and everything possible is being
done for their comfort.
Forecast by German Warning.
The disaster to the Lusitania was
clearly forecast by the German gov
eminent, both in this country and
abroad. Just before the ship sailed
last Saturday morning the German
embassy had caused an advertisement
to be printed broadcast warning all
Americans to keep OF British ships
sailing into the war zone. Passengers
were warned at the pier not to sail
as something like the accident to La
Touraine was to happen.

Likewise he specifies "POlarine," the standard
oil for all motors, when he wants a lubricating

The big buyer, if he wants to, can learn as much
about gasoline and lubricants as the refner who
makes them. Usually he does not bother. It is
cheaper and easier Just to order standard

just as safe.
The small buyers-you and your neighbors who
own cars-want quality too.
Say standard Motor Gasoline to the garage
man, and you are just as sure of getting high
grade fuel as the big consumer who buys gasoline
by specification and test.
Standard Motor Gasoline is a pledge of quality.
It is backed by the name and reputation of the
worlds largest oil ~Tef1ners. 1t is a permanent
pledge, because standard Motor Gasoline
means the same thing tomorrow as it does today,
wherever you make your purchase.
Standard Motor Gasoline costs no more by
by the gallon than other kinds. And it is so
much better than variable, unpedigreed blends
and mixtures" that it is worth while to be
particular.
Standard Motor Gasoline is a straightdist1led, homo

1t is powerful because it contains the maximum of heat units.

aided in fighting the fires.
Half the population have lost all
their belongings.
The fire started in the heart of the
city and soon was beyond control of
the native fire brigade. The wooden
buildings, of which the town is almost
excessively constructed, burned like
tinder. Most of the largest stores in
Colon, all of them carrying heavy
stocks Of merchandise, were directly
in the path of the flames. The cause

Belgian Delegate Declares That
Justice Must Be Done.
THREE REFUSE SEATS ON PLATFORM
Resolution Calls on All Nations to End
Bloodshed on Permanent Basis
Patriotism of People of War
ring Nations Recognized.

The Hague, Netherlands-The wings
of the dove of peace were ruffled Sat
urday at the session of the Interna-
tional Congress of Women.
At the instance of DIR. Augsburg, of
Munich, the entire Belgian delegation
was invited to the platform. Only
two women of the five present came
from their box at the side of the stage
and made their way to the platform.
They were welcomed by the chairman,
Miss Jane Addams, of Chicago, with
both hands, but there was no hand
shaking with the German delegations.
In moving the final resolution, Mrs.
Rosika, Schwimmer, president of the
Hungarian Women's Suffrage associa-
tion, requested that all the delegates
present stand one minute in silent
prayer for peace. Mile. Hamer, Of
the Belgian delegation, thereupon
asked permission to utter few words.
When this was granted she astounded
her audience with the dramatic ex-
clamation:
"I am Belgian before everything,
and I cannot think as you do. There
can be no peace without justice. The
war must continue until the Belgians'
wrongs have been righted. There
must be no mediation except at the
bar of justice"
General sympathy for the suffering
of the Belgians caused part of the au-
dience to break into cheers.
On the motion of Miss Florence Hol-
brook, of Chicago, the word Justice"
was inserted in the resolution, which
reads:
''The International Congress of Wo-
men of different nationalities, creeds,
classes and parties is united in ex-
pressing sympathy with the suffering
of all, whatever their nationality, who
are fighting for their country, or who
are laboring under the burden of war.
Since the mass of the people of each
of the countries now warning believe
themselves to be fighting, not aggres-
sively, but in self-defense and for
their national existence, it urges the
governments of the world to put an
end to this bloodshed and to begin
peace negotiations; and it emphat-
ically demands that the peace which
follows shall be permanent, and, there
fore, based upon justice and principles
which include those adopted by this
congress.

from heavier coats. OF course, 1t
takes longer to do the work. Paint
put on In thin coats and allowed to

heavier coats are applied. When very
