ADMISSION OF DEFEAT BY THE
Il RUSSIANS NOW IN RETREAT

Russians are increasing in intensity.
Extravagant claims regarding the
fighting in this section continue to
come from Berlin and Vienna. The
Germans say that a total of 10000 Rus
sian prisoners has been taken since
the end of April. The Austrians declare
that all the passes in the Beskid range
Of the Carpathians with the exception
Of the Lupkow, have been recaptured
from the Russians and that the re-
treating Russian columns have been
surrounded by the Austro-Germans on
the northern slope of the mountains.
They predict much hard fighting to
come.

Recently the Germans sunk more
than 20 defenceless fishing boats. Now.
without warning, they sunk big mail

lamentable Times
The Tijd says:
times have so often imposed restraint
upon themselves in order to silence their

Does there still exist something like
conscience among the neutrals? The neu-

could make Queenstown. Preparations,
it is true, were made to launch the
boats. but before this could be done, a
second torpedo hit the steamer and she
listed so badly that the crew could
only work the boats on one side Of the
ship.

OFFICIAL COMMUNE CATION GIVEN OUT
FROM BERLEN-BLAMES ENGLAND

Berlin, Via Wireless to London, May
8. 2.45 A. M.-The following official com
munication was issued tonight:
1.-THE Cunard liner Lusitania was yes
tercay torpedoed by d German subma-
rine and sunk.
The Lusitania was naturally armed
with guns as wee recently most of the
English mercantile steamers. Moreover,
as IS well known here. she had large
quantities Of war material in her cargo.

danger the passengers were exposed

for what has happened.

Another factor was the extreme con-
fidence Of the passengers themselves in
the infallibality Of the water-tight
compartments. According to stew
ard they would not believe even after
the second torpedo struck, that the
ship would go down, and realized their
terrible position too late. Then it was
that many jumped into the sea-a few
to be picked up; the great majority
to perish.

the time and went down with the ship
