DISASTER FLASH
STUNS new YORK
Staring Throngs, with
White Faces, Gather at
Newspaper Offices.

New York gasped long, incredu-
lous gasp when the news that the
Lustania had been torpedoed was
flashed from the bulletin boards OF the
newspaper Offices. No information
since the war began has had one-haif
the effect on the general public of this
city, as the few brief lines announcing
the disaster.
Men and women gazed at the staring
letters, rubbed their eyes and looked
again as if they could not believe
what they saw. Hundreds of white
faces turned to those of their neigh
bors as if seeking contradiction
there.
Then, as the meaning Of it pene-
trated their brains, discussions began.
Could it be true? Had the passengers
been saved? If so, had the rescue been
effected through German aid or had
the vessel been attacked without
warning and the 1900 souls aboard
left to drown?
If hyphenated Americans rejoiced
over the news, few showed it. A mid
die aged man who said his name was
Henry Schultz was watching The
Tribune bulletin board when the re-
port of the Lusitania's fate was posted.
Throwing his hat into the air, he
shouted gleefully in German.
When his hat came down 1t was

Also Several Submarines Prob
ably Necessary TO Catch Swift
Transatlantic Liner.

Washington, May T.. An officer Of tire
navy Of recognized standing as a de-
signer Of marine engines and the hulls
Of ships said TO The Tribune CORE
tpondent tonight:
81; seems hardly bclievable that the
Lusitania could have been sunk by a
single torpedo unless that weapon
struck the ship almost exactly amid
ships and in such a way as TO lay open
20 the sea at least three If not four Of
her water;ight bulkhesds. In this event
the list referred 20 in one Of the dis
patches would be accounted for, and Of
course there is q likelihood that the
engine rooms or the boilers OF the YES
sci we're penetrated, with serious dam
age and the enforced loss Of her head
way.
At seems 70 me that II the vessel
had been hit near the bow or near the
atern by one torpedo she would un-
doubtedly have hoated. OF course, she
would have been down by the head or
down by the stern, according to the
location OF the wound in her hull, but
that she would sink is scarcely TO be
believed.
THE Lusitania possessed twenty or
more watertiGht compartments longi-
tudinally arranged and each from 40
TO as feet wide. The most powerful Of
torpedoes could hardly have opened up
more than three such compartments,
and at most four. This would give the
vessel approximately 70 to so per cent
Of her normal buoyancy.
Many Submarines Busy.
al incline 10 the belief that when all
the facts are known it will be found
that the Germans launched at least two
torpedoes that found their mark"
The officer quoted believes there are
considerably more than one German
submarine operating in the Irish Sea
and in the neiGhborhood of Lands End,
the Scilly Islands. Penzance and other
points in the sea lanes Of transatlantic

"The compensation Of speed which
has apparently been relied upon by the
commanders of the Cunsrd and other
lines 10 protect them against subma-
rines can only be discounted in this
case on the hypothesis that there were

Vernon Cargile Carries The Age-Herald at Lipscomb and Raises Rabbits as a Side Line-Wins a Rick wood Ticket
By ELLIS C. HQLLUMs

Here's another Age Herald carrier who has secured one of those season tickets to the baseball park and who will help swell the grand total of a record-break- ins attendance opening day. Vernon Car gile is his name. and he lives at Lips comb station. He delivers The Age-Her- aid to residents of that section and ex- perienced no trouble in securing the re- quired number of subscribers to get a ba sebal ticket.
 Vernon has been with The Herald about four years. He now is 14 years old and was quite a little chap when he started to work for us. He is a most lil>able fellow, and very interesting. In fact, any fellow who has energy enough to make $3 in less than week from rab- bits he raised himself is interesting. That is just what Vernon did He is raising rabbits as a side line to carrying The Age. Herald, going to school, doing chores about the house. and several other little things that don't take up more than si hours day of his time,
 Vernon has only one more year to at tend the elementary school He then will be ready to enter high school, and will be on hand every morning. He intends 10 be- come doctor when he grows up, and it will take lots of hard studying to accomp- fish this.
 Being a doctor is easy to say, but it takes an Age Herald carrier with de- termination and persistence and force of character to really attain that goal It is hard work. little appreciation. and not too much money The emolutments of the profession come chiefly in that deep, in- ner satisfaction of having been of some worth to the world, Of having done some thing to make the lot of fellow humans easier to bear.
