Many Noted Men Are Back of

TO TAKE IN TRAINED MEN.
Former Soldiers and Sailors Are In the
First Line-Major General Leonard
Wood and Colonel Roosevelt Are En-
thusiastic Supporters-Ao Spirit of
Militarism Aroused.

New York.-The first definite step
toward the establishment of a military
and naval reserve for national defense
has been taken in the formation of the
American legion, an organization which
makes its bow to the people of this
country with the enthusiastic indorse-
ment of former President Theodore
Roosevelt and Major General Leonard
Wood.
Its plans and purposes have been
worked out at Governors island under
the guidance OF Captain Gordon John
ston of General Woods staff and Com
mander Robert X. Crank of the United
States navy. There its headquarters
are temporarily located, and from there
will come presently an announcement
of the names of those who are to serve
as members Of the executive commit
tee and board of honorary advisers.
Colonel Roosevelt has already accepted
the craftsmanship of the latter body.
1t is the answer of patriotic and prac-
teal men to the agitation which has
been going on ever since the outbreak
of the European war called attention
to the fact that the United States is
not prepared to defend itself.
1t is the purpose of this organization
not only to enroll the fighting men of
the country, the men who have seen
service as soldiers or sailors, but also
TO enroll the men who have special
training in any n Of the half hun
dred callings which under the condi-
lions of modern warfare are as essen
tial to success as are military and
naval equipment. The membership of
this organization is to be made up not

HEAVIEST LOSS IN FIRST CABIN

The latest estimate Of lives lost as
a result OF the torpedoing of the Cum
ard liner Lusitania by German sub
marine off the Irish coast yesterday
Is 1,19S. II Is believed that almost
all, II not all, the survivors have
been brought ashore, and there is
little hope of recovering any other
passengers alive.
OF the dead many are women.
The stories from Queenstown de-
scribe the bringing In of the bodies
OF a great number of women. many
of them unidentified. The Queens
town docks are the temporary resting
places also OF the bodies OF several
children. One dead mother still is
clasping in her rigid arms the body
OF her 3-year-old boy.
When the Lusitania left New York
on May /. IL had on board 1901
persons; 1881 passengers and $50
crew. The passengers were made up
OF 291 in the first cabin, 500 in the
second and 361 in the steerage. The
list of survivors shows so far that
about ninety first class and seventy
five second class passengers were
saved. II is now probable that COM
paratively few first class passengers
we're saved.

WASHINGTON, May S.-Appalled
by the tragic aspect of the Lusitania
disaster as hourly developments
disclosed it's magnitude and far

President Wilson and his advisers
are waiting for all the facts and for a
capitalization of public opinion to
aid in laying out the course the
United States will pursue in this
latest international complication

since the outbreak of the European
war.
President Wilson, while seeking
the facts, hopes that the country will
assume an examining attitude and
reserve full judgment until complete
information is at hand.
Secretary Bryan cabled Ambassa-
dor Gerard at Berlin today to infor-
nially ask the German government
for it's report of the disaster, and to

messages urging renewed efforts to
aid the suffering and gather informa,

Chairman Stone of the senate foreign
