Judging IRON the reCltalS OF survivors. there
was comparatively little panic on board the Lusi-
tania when she went down. Nor is there any
thing to show that the rule OF the sea favoring
women and children in the work of rescue was
violated Many of the liners lifeboats were
rendered useless by the fact that she listed SO
sharply that they could not be used
USED 10 PUT ON LIFE BELTS
Many of the passengers did not believe the
Lusitania would sink as quickly as she did Con-
sequently they did not join in the rush for the
lifeboats.- but evidently preferred to trust in
their belief that the water-tght compartments of
the vessel would keep her afoat until such time
as help came out from the Irish shore, less than
ten miles away. 1t is related that some of the
passengers even disdained to put life belts when
these were handed to them.
When the Lustania left New York Nav |
she had on board 1,o01 souls Isl passengers and
$50 crew. The passengers made up of 2o1
in the first cabin, 59o in the second and 561 in the
steerage. The list of survivors shows SO far that
about ninety first class and seventy-fve second
class passengers were saved. The first cabin pas
sengers were at lunch when the unheralded Ger
man attack sent the liner to the bottom. 1t is
noticeable that comparatively few first class pas
sengers were saved.
FIRST BOAT cAPsIZED.
The liner listed so perilously to starboard
after the first great thrush of water that all but
two boats the port side were jammed The
first boat launched was almost filled with chill
dren, with whom were few women 1t capsized
it struck the water and all were swept away,
although two stokers gave their lives in attempt
ing to save some of them.
One hundred and seventeen stewards and
stewardesses of the ships complement of 4l6
were saved.

New York today was sober city
Awakening this morning to find that
The hopes Of the night before that the
Lusitana's passengers had been saved
were premature. and that the loss OF
life might reach two-thirds of those
aboard, the whole city seemed stunned.
A spirit of depression was in evidence
among people In all public places. and
sobriety of demeanor characterized
those who gathered on street corners

The publication of news of serious

anxious inquiries to the Office of the

A full list of the survivors. who in

a bly, there are not many names TO add
to those which already have been made

that the frst-clas and many of the
second class passengers had such con-
fdence in the ability Of the Lusitania.
because of her watertight compart-
ments, to remain afloat after she re-
ceived the first blow that they did not
concern themselves about taking to the
boats or even providing themselves
with life preservers.
When the passengers did realize that
the Lusitania was doomed they found
that most Of the boats on tho port side
we're SO jammed. because of the great
list Of the vessel, that they could not
be lowered. and the last seen OF them
by the more fortunate passengers who
had secured places in the starboard
boats. or who had jumped overheard
and had been picked up. they were
lined on the sloping decks awaiting
their fate. doubtless even then believ.

still be saved.

Not Yet Crossed on the

ATHENS, Dec. 14.--Bulgarian
shells have fallen on Greek terri

AngloFrench troops along the
Serbo-Greek border. but thus far
no material damage has been done
TO Greek property Dispatches iiled
late yesterday said the Bulgarians
nor Teutons had crossed the border,
but it was believed the pursuit of
the Anglo French forces would be
resumed III a few hours and that
fighting would then begin on Greek
soil
A correspondent at Saloniki tele-
graphed that small Bulgarian
force had actually crossed the
Greek border and had advanced five
miles inside the frontier Military
authorities here had no confirma-
tion of this report.
French and English wounded
have been arriving at Saloniki for
twenty-four hours. They said that
despite the numerical superiority OF
the enemy they could have held the
front around Strumnitza for at
least two weeks had it been neces-
sary. The Anglo-French lost COM
paratively few men and few sup
plies in .evacuating Serbian terri
tory. it is asserted, The Anglo
French contingent left behind TO
cover the retreat narrowly escaped
annihilation or capture.
The Bulgarians made repeated
attempts to envelop them. but
each time were repuised In the
