ported to State Department.
The names of seventy-three surviv'
ors of the 1873 Americans aboard the
Lusitania have been reported to the
state department at Washington. Con.
sui Frost at Queenstown said there
was virtually no hope that more would
be found alive.
In addition, the department has re-
ceived the names OF sixteen identified
American dead, Ambassador Page at
London having added the name OF Ar
thur Foley to those reported by Con
sui Frost. Three other Americans
were believed to be among the un-
identified bodies at Queenstown.
OF the survivors thirty-three were
first class passengers, twenty-one sec
ond class, two steerage and seventeen
unclassified.
The dispatch from Consul Frost

Warned of Presence Of Submarines
The presence of German submarines
off the southern coast of Ireland and
along the line OF travel the Lusitania
would follow in going to Liverpool
was made known in dispatch from
Glasgow, which recited that the Brit.
ish steamer Cherbury has been torpe'
doed in the Atlantic ocean, Off the
Irish coast This was on April 80.
Two other vessels were sent to the
bottom more recently. the Centurion
and the Candidate. Just where these
ships were attacked has not been
made known, but their destinations
lead to the belief that one or more
German submarines have been Operat-
ing in the lines of transatlantic travel.
1t may be that they were waiting Tor
the Lusitania, and in the meanwhlie
attacked such other vessels as came
within their range.
The Lusitania and its sister ship,
the Mauretania, holding all speed rec
ords. were marvels of marine ensl-
neering and have excited the wonder
of the maritime world. Seven hundred
and ninety feet in length. they are so
gracefully proportioned that their
vast bulk is not apparent unless some
other vessel is near for comparison.
The turbine engines are so smooth IN
action that the vibration so frequently
noticed in other ships is practically
eliminated. With sustained sea
speed of more than twenty-six knots
an hour, these splendid steamships
marked the greatest advance that has
taken place in steamship construction.
No less remarkable thar the SIZE
and speed of these ships are their pas
senger accommodations. Apart from
the ,palatial character. the most strik-
ing feature is spaciousness, the great
size of the ships and their height be-
tween decks, enabling provision OF
generous allowance of space per pas
senger far exceeding that afforded on
other vessels. This is apparent not
only in the public rooms and entrance
halls, but also in the private rooms,
corridors, promenades. etc. The de-
sign, decorations and furnishing OF the
passenger accommodations were en-
trusted to recognized experts, VINO
achieved results at once tasteful, arts
tic and luxurious. In short. these
ships merit the title of floating pal
aces" --- -----
