Judge Martin, as young lawyer and

shine to the young chap and pro-

Sunderland, Scotland, May 1.-THE
steamer Wilhelmina, owned by the A.
T.. Hull Steamship company, of 1896
tons, has been torpedoed and sunk by
a German submarine.
London, May 11.-Zeppelins and
aeroplanes dropped bombs within 40

bombs were dropped and extensive
property damage was done, many
buildings either being demolished or
set on fire.
Woman is Killed.
Two persons were seriously injured.
A woman known to have been killed
was Mrs. Agnes Whitwell, who jumped

port to the officials here that So bombs
fell around Queen Mary's hospital, but
fortunately none hit the structure.
The raid took place early when the
residents of the two towns were in

to have dropped 40 or so bombs there.
1t is estimated 100 bombs were
dropped at South End and vicinity and
25 at Leish-on-Sea. Eight buildings
were set on fire at South End. The
forts at the mouth of the Thames fired
a fusillade of shells at the aircraft,
finally driving them off. The gas
works at Leigh-on-Sea was the object
of the attack there, but it failed utter
ly.
The troops were ordered out, and the
special military constables who have
been sworn in for just such emergen-
cies were soon on hand to quiet the
people and receive the injured.
English Aircraft Pursues.

LUS|TAN|A WAS HIT
BY SINGLE TORPEDO
THIS DEADLY MISSILE SENT
LINER TO BOTTOM SAYS
THE CAPTAIN.
WHOLESALE MURDER CHARGE
Jury Brings in Verdict Against Ger.
man Kaiser and His Government
--Merchantmen Must Look
After Themselves.

London, May 12.-The Cunard line
steamship Lusitania, which was sunk
last week off Old Head Of Kinsale by a
submarine, was struck by only one tor
pedo, according to the testimony O.
Captain Turner of the steamer, given
at the coroner's inquest at Kinsale.
But this deadly missile found a vital
spot and sent the liner to the bottom
in less than 20 minutes, carrying with
her over thousand souls.
The evidence of Captain Turner,
which cleared up many other points,
concerning the disaster, and that OF
other members of the crew of the yes
sci with a general knowledge of the
situation, led the jury to bring in a
verdict of wholesale murder" against
the German emperor and his govern
ment and the officers of the Submarine
directly responsible for the sinking
of the ship.
Warned of Submarines.
1t also was disclosed by Captain
Turner and by Winston Churchill.
first lord of the admiralty, In state
ment in the house of commons, that
the captain had received wireless ad-
vices from the admiralty in regard to
the presence of submarines on the
liners course. Captain Turner in his
Testimony said he had followed this
advice Ito the best of his ability"
Meanwhile the cause of the heavy
loss of life, the absence of any naval
escort for the threatened vessel and
the suddenness with which she sank
afford room for much speculation.
Captain Turner, in declaring that one
torpedo did all the damage, said the
second explosion which the passengers
heard was an internal one, and that
the engines having been put out Of
commission 1t was impossible to stop
the Lusitania and permit her boats
being lowered properly.
Death Toll No Surprise.
This idea of an internal explosion
Is supported by naval experts, who
point out that If the torpedo had ex-
rloded on contact the steamer would
have only been disabled or had one
or two of her compartments flooded.
II was evident. however. they say, that
if the,torpedo penetrated the hull end
the charge of 24o pounds of explo-
aiHe was detonated it would have Gre
ated an effect similar to the explo.
sion of a magazine within the ship.
There is little wonder. therefore. they
say, that the Lusitania sank so rapid
~ or that so many persons were kill
ed by the fumes of the explosion.
On the question of why no naval esI
cort accompanied the Lusitania, Mr.
Churchill explained i'm the house of
commons that the policy of the ad,
miralty is that merchantmen must
hook after themselves. This policy
was due TO the fact that the admiralty
had not sufficient destroyers to escort
all merchant ships, they being requir,
ed TO guard the continuous stream of
troops from England 20 France, and
to protect the English coast from Ger.

GLACIAL EPOCHs.
This Old Earth of Ours Has Had More
Than Ore Ice Ace.

This Old Earth OF Ours Has Had More
Than Ore Ice Age.
Gvcly onc With Intelligent interest in
the history ot the world on which he
lives has heard OF the glacial epoch"
or the ice age. The Inhabitants of the
northern portion of the United States
have no doubt Il general understanding
that the gravel hills and ridges and the
huge powders with which they are ia
miliar are due to an Irresistible inva-
sion from Canada by the great ice
sheet" at a date just preceding that
which biologists term recent" yet
many thousands of years ago.
1t is, however, not strictly correct to
speak of the ice age" or the glacial
epoch" for there have been many of
them. 1t is now known that even this
latest or pleistocene glacial epoch has
several important divisions, and in the
Rocky mountain legion it appears that
important changes in the form and
height of the mountains, due to a wear
ing down by erosion, took place be-
tween the glacial subepochs.
More THAI fifty years ago it was rec
ognized by English biologists hat GER
tain masses of gravel and breccia and
certain planed and grooved rock sur
faces in rocks of Permian g in India,
Indicated a glacial epoch vastly older
than that of the Canadian ice sheets,
but it is only within the last thirty
years that biologists have learned that
glacial conditions have required at
many different times in the earth's his
tory. The evidence of this has beer
found in all continents in Europe. At
RIGA, Asia, Australia, South and North
America. The formation of great ice
sheets took place at different periods in
the larger divisions of geologic time
back to the proteroZoic-that is, to the
age of the oldest known sedimentary
rocks, a great many million years ago.
