To Save Peaches

While the peach growers of lower
Delaware believe that danger from in
jury to the peach crop has passed, the
larger growers are making plans to save
the crop should late frost come. In
the large Chandler orchards, north of
Milton, oil burning receptacles have
been filled with crude oil, the same has
been done at the Terry orchards south
of Dover, while all of the larger growers
have done the same thing. Should a
late frost come the oil will be immed-
lately lighted and the trees kept from
freezing. A few years ago the use CT
these fire pots saved the crops when q
late frost threatened it.

German submarine, which sent two
torpedees crashing into her side while
the passengers were at luncheon.
The Lusitania was steaming along
about 10 miles OF Old Head Kinsale
on the last leg Of her voyage to
Liverpool when about o'clock In
the afternoon a submarine suddenly
appeared and So: far as all reports
go, fred two torpedoes without warn
ing at the steamer. One struck her
near the bows and the other in the
engine room.
The powerful agents of destruction
tore through the, vessels side, caus-
ing terrific explosions. Almost i'm
mediately great volumes of water
poured through the openings and the
Lusitania listed.
Boats which were already swung
out on the davits were dropped over
board and were speedily filled with
passengers who had been appalled, by
the desperate attack. A wireless call
for help was sent out, and Immediate
" rescue boats of all kinds were sent
both from the neighboring points
along the coast and Queenstown.
Within Is minutes, as one survivor
estimated, and certainly within half

When the passengers realized that
the Lusitania was doomed they
found that most Of the boats OF the
port side were so iammed because of
the great list Of the vessel that they
could not be lowered and last seen
of them by the more fortunate pas
sengers who had secured places in
the starboard boats or who had

decks awaiting their fate. doubtless
even then believing thai with land so
close they woull still be saved.
However. the torpodocs had torn

she did not remain aAoat for more

FACTS ABOUT THE Lus,7AMlA.

Every Thirs About the Great Ocean
Liner Was Colossal in Dimensions.
X New York.-The Lusitania is the
twenty-ninth vessel to- be sunk or
damaged in the frst week Of May in
the German war zone about the
british Islesa
81 Most of these vessels were torps-
uoedby German submarines, although
50 same eases it9has NOT been estab-
Hsfsa whether the damage was in
ficted by mines or underwater boats.
During the last fortnight German
submarines have carried on the most
active campaign Of any time since the
war began.
The Lusitania was one OF the larg-
est transatlantic liners and was one
of the speediest. She was built in
Glasgow in 1906 and was 7s5 feet
long. Her gross tonnage was $4,000
and her net tonnage 9,145. She was
owned by the Cunard Steamship
Company, Ltd, of Liverpool Her
captain was w. T. Turner.
The Lusitania was product Of the
race for speed which was carried on
for years among transatlantic steam
ship companies, particularly of Eng
land and Germany. When the Lusi-
tania was launched she was the won
der of the maritime world. Her mas
terry of the sea from the standpoint
of speed was undisputed.
Marine engineers were particularly
interested in the great engines by
which the Lusitania was propelled,
which were regarded as Il distinct de-
parture instead of the usual type Of
reciprecating engines, her builders in
stalled turbines. These engines de-
veloped an indicated horsepower of
