First Lieutenant Clarence K. Ly-

hospital from an injury received on
the polo field Saturday afternoon. He
never recovered consciousness from

Lieut. Lyman took one of the hard
est falls ever seen on an island polo
field in the third period of the game
between Oahu and The Army, played
at Moanalua last Saturday afternoon
for the entertainment of the Congress
sional party. Accounts of eye-wit-
nesses differ as to exact sequence of
events which led up to the. fall, but
it is believed that the pony ridden by
the officer, which was not a finished
polo mount, crossed his feet or in
some way cut himself down after a
light bump with the mount of Walter
Dillingham; Lieut.. Lyman pitched of,
landing with terrific force ON his head
before he had time to throw out a
protecting arm, and the pony then roll
ed completely over him. 1t is be-
lieyed that the force of the original
fall caused the fracture of the skull
which caused the young officers death,
and that the rolling over of the horse
was merely incidental. ....-

Certainly it has always been the

done often by England. True, it has

Had the Lusitania been warned

giving customary warning, specifically
informed Americans before the ship
