ATASIlINGION, May S.-PreSldCnt Wilson, upon
w whom the eyes of the world are focused at the
present moment studied III quiet scclusion today the
poets Of law and fact in connection with the sinking by
Il German torpedo of the British liner Lusitana with
consequent loss Of many American lives.
The great human tragedy coupled with the respon-
sibtcs of the hour caused the president to deny him
self to all callers to members Of his official family
while he turned over in his mind the course to be pur-
sued by the United States government in of the most
serious crises in its history.
The only glimpse Of the workings Of the presidents
mind given when the White House tonight issued its
first formal comment ON the disaster The announce
mcu was made that the president realized the country
expected him to deal with the situation 'sWth debera-
ton as we'll as fimness."
Considers Alone
The official data upon which formal action will be
based has not arrived The president therefore did not
communicate with Secretary Bryan officials 0f the
state department. Nor did he consult members OF the
cabinet or congress- He has been giving such close per-
scna attention in the last few weeks to the particular
questions involved that he thought to be determined
first to sft for himself the Various questions and shape
a policy to.bc submitted to the cabinet probably Mon
day or Tuesday.
In The meantime public opinion expected to
rrystaIize and help point the way Members Of the cab
met cancelled other engagements and held themselves in
readiness for fhc presidents call At the state depart
mcnt. when Secretary Bryan asked if there
any advice to communicate to the American people at
this time he replied that he did not think this needed
for the country understood the situation.
'1hs is no time TO rock the boat =, he said
1t was the same sentiment which Chairman Stone
Of the senate foreign relations committee had expressed
earlier i'm the day The single phrase expressed the de
sire of the Washington administration that prejudice
and passion be not thrust into the unstable equilibrium
while the government endeayored to learn all the details

AMERICANS REPORTED TO Be AMONG The DEAD;
HUNDREDS OF WOMEN SANK WITH STEAMER

T"IIE latest estimates Of lives lost as a result Of the
tolpedoing of the Cunard liner Lustania by Ger
submarine off the Irish coast yesterday is ll9S. 1t
is believed that almost ALL if not all the survivors have
been brought ashore and there is little hope Of recover
ing any other passengers alive.
OF the dead many are women. The stories from
Queenstown describe the bringing III of the bodies of
great number of women, many of them still unidentified
The Queenstown docks the temporary resting places
also Of the bodies of several children One dead mother
still is caSpng III her rigid arms the body OF her three
months old baby
When the Lusitania left New York, May |, she had
board 1901 souls 25l passengers and $50 crew The
passengers made up Of 29l in the first cabin 500 III
the second and 361 in the seerage The list of survivors
shows so far, that about 90 flStcass and % second
class passengers We're saved The first cabin passengers

the liner to the bottom 1t is notable that comparatively
few first-class passengers were saved.
Well Known Americans.
Among the welllnown Americans whose bodies
have not been recovered7 and who, consequently are
believed to have persisted, Alfred Gwyme Wander
bt Charles Klein, the playwright; Justin NJ. trohlnan
and Ebert Hubbard and his wife.
The body of Charles Frohman Of New York. the
theatrical producer already has been recovered and
brought ashore at Queenstown The hospitals Of Queens
filled with the injured among the survivors
and the morgues with the dead recovered from the
Judging from the recitas there comparatively
little panic board the usitana when she went down.
Nor is there anything to show that the rule of the sea
favoring and children in the work OF rescue was
useless by the fact that the ship listed Sharply that
they could not be used
Passengers Waited.
Many of the passengers did not believe the ustanla
would sink quickly she did Consequently they did
not Join in the rush for the feboats but evidently pre-
ferred to trust in their belief that the water tight COM
parmens of the vessel would keep her afloatun such
time as help out from the Irish shore less than
ten miles away 1t is related that of the passer,
gers even dsdaned put life belts when these were
handed to them
1t is estimated that there were about 1870 Americans
board the Cunard liner So far could be aScertalAed
at this time fewer than seventy Americans saved
Consequently the death list of Americans is about l2O

Good Indian Snake Remedy

I am full-blooded Creek In
dian and a subscriber to your
paper. | want to give you a
remedy for ratlesnake bites.
In the first place, an Indian
never dies from the bite of the
raUtler, and an Indian never dies
from bite of a mad dog. You
will see the greatest curiosity on
earth if you see an Indian with
rabies. They have a remedy for
both. This is the remedy:
Let the snake go along about
his business, and run to the house
and get an onion about two
inches in diameter, and cut about
three cents worth of strong to-
bacco. Then get two tablespoon
fuls of table salt, cut the onion
and tobacco up pretty fine with
a knife, mix in the salt till it is
well mixed. 1t tmakes a poultice.
Place this on the wound. Make
a new pouItice every six or
twelve hours and it will never
swell. Apply as soon as posi-

Please excuse this, but an In
dian likes to talk, hence this
long letter. Charles Gibson, in

Typhoid Fever

About this time of year typhoid
fever begins to appear in many
communities. Some people are be-
ginning to believe that typhoid
fever is catching" Well, you
do not catch" typhoid fever like
you do smallpox; you swallow it.
Typhoid fever is caused by fiji tn
which gets into the mouth from
the fingers, or from something
we eat or drink. We swallow
it; the germs multiply and grow
and cause the disease we call
typhoid fever.
To prevent typhoid fever the
greatest care must be taken to
see that the we'll or the cistern
or the spring, whichever is used
as a source of water supply, is
protected from every possible
source of pollution. A good well
must have sound, tight top,
with a watertight casing or curb
ing. A we'll with a leaky top, or
with holes around the sides, or
with bucket which is touched
with dirty hands, is likely to give
rise to dangerous pollution.
Then, too, the outside toilet
must be looked after, to see that
there is no danger of pollution
from it. The discharges from
human beings constitute the most
dangerous material on the farm,
or in the town in summer time.
1t should be cared for as care
fully as if it were a deadly poison.
Flies carry typhoid-fever germs
on their feet, and if the toilet is
open so that chickens or other
domestic animals can get at it,
they, too, will carry this danger
Gus material on their feet about
the yard, onto the we'll top,
which, in turn, may be washed
into the we'll, or be carried on the
feet of people into the kitchen,
to there become a dangerous
source of pollution for food or
drink.
To avoid typhoid fever:
First. Wash the hands before
eating anything, and do not put
the fingers into the mouth.
Second. Do not drink water
that you do not know comes from
good we'll, cistern or from a
good, safe city supply, unless it
has been thoroughly boiled.
Third. Do not drink milk un-
less you know where it comes
from and have reason to believe
that it is safe and wholesome. =
