Stage Production of
Titanic Disaster, Says
Amsterdam Telegraaf

Amsterdam. via London, May s.
4:05 a. m.-"The torpedoing of the
Lusitania," says the "Telegraaf" in an
editorial, was a deliberate stage pro-
duction of the Titanic disaster. 1t was
a premeditated crime against a pas
senger ship on which were $500 non
combatants. 1t is no longer outrag-
eous; it has become fiendish.
Does there still exist something
like conscience among the neutrals
The neutral powers remained silent
when Belgian neutrality was trampled
upon. when the Germans carried out
practices profaning international law
and with submarine assistance made
them their first victims. Will they
now look on inactiveIy? Only the
spontaneous joint protest of the en-
tire gives the civilized world from
which Germany has separated her
self can be an answer to the latest
provocation."

Cunard Line Warehouse
Being Used as Morgue

New York. May S.-When the Gu
nard Line office opened early to-day
the first bulletin issued-the text of
the announcement made by the press
bureau at Liverpool last night, stating
that 65S had been landed-strength-
ened the belief that the loss of life
would be great, especially among the
first cabin passengers.
This bulletin was quickly followed
by list of survivors names received
from Liverpool. As fast as these names
could be checked with the passenger
lists they were given out. The first list
contained the names of fifty-two first
cabin passengers. Among them were
d. 4. Thomas. of London, millionaire
coal operator. his daughter, Lady
Mackworth, Julian de Ayala. Cuban
consul general at Liverpool and Lady
Allan of Montreal
Although inquirers who came early
To the offices were few in number, tele-
grams by the hundred poured in over
night and continued to arrive in swell
ing torrents during the forenoon. The
telephone lines of the company were
choked with calls.
A large detachment of clerks was
detailed to answer inquiries.
As fast as the work could be done. a
list of survivors from the second cabin
was prepared. The first list, it was
thought, would be followed by others
during the day.
There was no noticeable increase in
the number of persons calling at the
office during the early part of the day
Among them was Harry Niemark, II
Belgian. who came to America with
his father. Abraham Niemark, three
months ago, leaving his mother and
sisters in London The elder Niemark
sailed on the Lusitania, taking with
him the entire fortune of the family,
which he had converted into diamonds
in order that they might be realized on
readily. His name was not in the first

OF VESSELS DEATH

THE German submarine made no
attempt to save anybody. We sew it
for a moment just before IL dove.
THE first torpedo struck us between
the first and second tunnels. The Lusi-
tania shook and settled down a bit.
Two other torpedoes quickly followed
and soon finished our ship. Four or
five of our lifehoats went down with
her and the tremendous suction as
the liner was engulfed dragged many
people down also
THE noise of the explosion was not
very great The first torpedo burst
with big thud and we knew that we
were doomed. We had fioated about
two hours in our small boats before
the first rescue steamers arrived. Pre-
vious TO this time some small shore
boats and fishing smacks came along
and helped us in

CODDLlNG THE STOMACH
The SO-Called Scientific" Feed
ing.

In this twentieth century of adj
Vancement, people are too apt to listen
to new theories and put into practice
new-fangled notions of feeding. Not
only do adults follow so-called ''scien-
tific systems" but they cram down the
mouths of their children such scientific
soft foods that require no exercise of
the digestive organs, and the children
are apt to become fragile and their
stomachs too weak to take in strength
giving food and be able to assimilate
1t. This is a hothouse condition that
no man. woman or child should per-
init. The muscles of the stomach re-
quire exercise just as any other muscles
of the body; neglect them with too
much ease and inaction and you raise
q dyspeptic. Use a tonic made of
medicinal herbs which will stimulate
the stomach into greater activity
remedy which will do this is one which
has stood the test of public approval
for over forty years. containing no
alcohol or narcotic. We refer to DIR.
Pierces Golden Medical Discovery.
1t arouses the little muscular flbers
into activity and causes the gastric
juices to thoroughly mix with the food
you eat. simply because it supplies the
stomach with pure, rich blood. It's
weak, impure blood that causes stom-
ach weakness. Get good blood through
the use of DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. and you will have no more
indigestion.

Arts, known as one of the most wide

night that Germany had every right
to sink the Lusitania.
He was asked if the sinking of the
big Cunard liner raised a new situation
in the law of the seas
1T does not" he replied. The only
difference between this and the sinking
of other vessels is that in this particu-
lar instance the vessel happened to be
very large and worth a great deal OF
money. besides having many persons
OF much prominence on board"
