 The president expects 10 return to Washington shortly after the note is received. but may return to Washing ton in comparatively short lime.

About 14O Americans Lost When the
LuSitania Was TOrgGdO8d by
German Submarine,
No Warning Given to III
FatGd Craft by tia
Attackers.

The nation is recovering slowly from
the shock and horror caused by the
sinking of the steamship Lusitania of
the Cunard line, off the Irish coast, a
few miles outside of Queenstown har.
bor. The loss of more than 1,4O0 lives.
about $40 of whom were American
men. women and children. and all of
whom were noncombatants, has caused
one Of the greatest sensations of mod.
ern times. The submarine which
caused the catastrophe is believed to
be one of the powerful U class craft,
which are held responsible for the loss
Of the steamship Falaba and other pas
senger and freight ships in British wa
ters.
The suddenness of the attack is held
responsible for the terrific loss Of life,
as the deadly missiles came without
warning while the passengers were
dining, and the Lusitania disappeared
beneath the waves within fifteen min
utes.
What Survivors Say.
Survivors say that the first torpedo
struck the hull Of the ship directly in
the space occupied by the engine room.

of rescue, but the suddenness with
which the liner plunged to the bottom
of st. Georges channel made it impos-
sible to get off all on board
From the reports thus far received,
officers and crew acted with the ut
most bravery. In the greatest sea dis
aster since the sinking Of the Titanic
they went eXpcditiously about their
task of getting as many as possible Of
the passengers away before the inevi-
table moment when the great hulk
they trod must make its final dive to
destruction
Meanwhile aid had started from a
dozen directions, and soon the boats
were picked up by steam vessels and
smaller craft. But before this hap
pened the stricken liner, with so many
human souls still aboard, had gone
down.
1t is known that among so many
victims there are many Americans, and
in the view of those in authority here

ed States the greatest problem she has
faced during the present war
Bodies Brought Ashore.
One hundred bodies were brought
ashore at Queenstown Oh the Cunard
wharf from the rescue tug Stormcock
and other steamers, which brought over
600 survivors. 1t is stated that these
persons died Of exhaustion while on
their way to Queenstown from the
scene of the disaster. The bodies were
removed to the town hail.
When the survivors reached the
wharves doctors and ambulances were
waiting, and pitiful scenes were wit
messed there. There was a large pro-
portion of women among the arrivals
Their clothes were soaked with water
They were hatcss aud shoeless, and
many were unable to walk.
Most of the survivors had suffered
severe injuries to their LEGS and other
parts of their bodies, and many had to
be placed upon stretchers and removed
to the quarters which had been spe-
cially prepared for them.
What the Captain Says.
Captain William r. Turner of the
Lusitania expressed no fear for the
safety of his ship when he sailed from
New York.
II wonder what the Germans will .
do nextY was his only comment when
he read the advertisement sent out by /
the German embassy, warning Ameri- |
cans that they sailed at their own

the Pennsylvania, last voyage. On the
last eastward trip never saw war

One of the Cunard officers who was
on the Lusitania on her last voyage,
confirmed Captain Turner's statement
that the liner had not sighted a single
warship on her voyage.
Captain Turner stood at his post on
the bridge until his ship went down
and was rescued three hours afterward

nate,

Immediately after the torpedo struck"
he said. "There is difference of opin-
ion as to whether the steamship WAS
struck by more than one torpedo, but
heard only one" ---~.

Is thought to have exploded an enor-
nous quantity of ammunition said to
have been stored there At any rate,
several explosions occurred rs the
steamer listed and sank bow first.
Survivors united in declaring no
warning was given. So desperate were
conditions that only ten lifeboats could
be launched. Indescribable scenes were
enacted as the helpless passengers
struggled for their lives in the sea.
The official British press bureau in
London gave out the following report
from the admiral in command at
Queenstown:
"The torpedo boats, tugs and armed
trawlers which went to the rescue of
the Lusitania passengers from Queens
town are all in. with the exception Of
the Heron.
Few First Class Passengers Saved.
"Only a few of the first class pas
sengers were saved 1t is understood
that they thought the ship would float.
She sank in from fifteen to twenty
minutes.
1T is reported that she was struck
by two torpedoes.
