All tho hospitals in Queentown were soon tilled and as tho injured continued to arrivo they wore sent to tho naval and military hospitals for treatment. Hospitals at Cork Tilled. At Cork, the same ennditior.s rrovailed. the hospitals beinj; tilled with injured men and women taken into port by tutrs, trawlers and torpedo boat destroyers. Offlrers of the. ships in tho rcsetio fleet declared that the. weather conditions wero perfectly favorable otherwise tho loss of life, appalling as it w.'ls. would have boon much heavier. Throuhtoiit the. nisUt. so many alarming and sensational reports arrived from Kinsalo, Queenstowti and Cork that the government finally established a censorship allowing only news of apparent authenticity to be distributed. livery possible relief agency hasbeen thrown open for tho care of tho survivors. Tho naval and military authorities are uniting with the civil authorities all along the southern Irish coast to give aid to those who escaped from tho lost ship. George K. Chamlx?rlaln, tho United States consul for Quoenstown. and Cork, is looking after tho Americans. Some Killed by Implosion. Somo of tho Iusitania's passengers were killed outright by the explosion of tho German torpedoes, declared survivors who wero taken into Queenstown by tho tug. Stormcock. Among these survivors were frantic women, brought to the verge of madness by tho horror of tho scenes through which they had just passed. Tho calmer of tho survivors took occasion to praise Cnpt. W. T. Turner and his officers for tho coolness they showed after tho Iusitania had been attacked. Officers and seamen exercised such calmness and were so emphatic in their reassurances that, despite the fact that tho f;reat liner was settling rapidly in tho water, many were presuaded that, tho watertight compartments would save her from .absolute loss. -Many "Were at Lunch. It was about 10 minutes after two and many of tho first cabin passengers were at lunch, when, apparently without warning, there was a Jarring explosion that shook tho giantess from stem to stern. Immediately there was another s-hock of greater severity than tho first. The. majestic greyhound keeled over so sharply that scores were thrown from their feet. There was a crash as though tho boilers had exploded and tho interior of the ship was filled with flying wreckago that left death and wounds in its wake. Fire broke out. Smoke rolled upward. P.efore tho first stages of the inevitable panic had made itself felt officers and seamen were running through the ship reassuring tho pass-enters that they need not be alarmcNTixri:i ox iwgi; si:vi:x.

VIOLATION OF S Experts, on International Law Base Statements on Dispatches That No Warning Was Given Lusitania. :;i:W VoRK, May s. Experts on the relationship of the warring nations Friday agreed in declaring the torpedoing of the Cunarder, Lusitania. a. violation of international law. They predicted their statements, however, on press dispatches declaring tho ship had boon destroyed without warning. Frederick K. Coudert of tho international law firm of Coudert Hros., said: "A groat deal depends upon whether the Lusitania was sunk with loss of American life in regard to the interest of the United States in the matter. "Hut to ruthlessly sink a merchant ship upon the open seas endangering the life of citizens of a neutral country is an act of barbarity without precedent. "If this has been done it is rp to the government of the United States to say whether it shall sit idly by ami see its eutizens killed or take measures to protect its citizens in travel." lr. F. . Stowell. professor of international law at Columbia university, said: "International omplieat .or.? arising from tho sinking of tho l,usitanku depend largely on circumstances. To torpedo a merchant vessel without warning, however, is plainly a violation of international law and contrary to guarantees of safety to those aboard. "It makes no tlifferer.ee whether tho Lusitania was within or without tho three-mile zone. Folligerent warships have no richt to interfere with neutrals a-board a belligerent merchant ship. This constitutes a flagrant violation of the law of nations." Kvorett T Wheeler, an authority on International l;iw, said: "If tho Lusitania was torpedoed without warning, it was a violation of international law. "It is the custom of warships to call upon a belligerent merchantman to surrender and take her passengers off before sinking her. This business of calling upon a merchantman to transfer her own passengers to safety! raises a new is5UC. "Indeed the undersea method rf varfaro I- new in hosihties and it is dicttiwlt to say what attltii i jx international court would tako.,

FEAR FEW OUT OF

HFRICAn LUSITANIA SAVED

Reports at Liverpool Offices of Cunard Line Indicate 144 United States Citizens Perished On Ship. SURVIVORS DECLARE NO WARNING WAS GIVEN LIVERPOOL. .May S. Of tho 1SS Americans listed as passengers on tho Lusitania, only 4 1 are reporteel saveel in advices received by the Cunard office here today. One hundred and fortj-four are believed to have been drowned or been killed by the explosion that shattered the great liner Lusitania. David A. Thomas, millionaire coal operator of Cardiff, Wales, who, with his daughter, Lady Mackworth, wero among the passengers on the Lusitania, told a thrilling story of tho escape of his daughter and of Capt. W. T. Turner of the lost liner. "Lady Mackworth went down with the ship and was pick eel up unconscious after being in the water for three and a half hours," said Mr. Thomas. "Her life was saved by her forethought in putting on a life belt. he was taken to Queenstown suffering from nervous shock and exposure but very glad to be alive. Tono4lool Without Notice. "The Lusitania was torpedoed without notice, at tho time sho was about 15 miles off the Irish coast The explosions tore great holes iti the hull beneath the water line and the liner went down in about 1- minutes. "It was a most dastardly outrago and it deserves the condemnation of the whole civilized world. "Had tho disaster occurred at night or during rough weather probably not a soul on board would have been saved. I ejuestion whether any boats on tho port side were successfully launched. This was the side that was torpedoed and the ship immediately listed. Trienl to Beach Ship. "As soon as the explosions occurred and the officers learned what had happened, the ship's course was directed toward tho shore, with the Idea of beaching her. There is a difference of opinion as to tho number of torpedoes tired. Some say there were two, but my belief is that only one was launched. "Capt. Turner is a brave man. He remained upon the bridge until the ship went down and he was swallowed up in the maelstrom which followed. He wore a life belt which kept him ailoat when ho arose to the surface and remained in the water for three hours before he vaa picked up by a life boat. "During the last few minutes lire d the Lusitania, she was a ship of panic and tumult. Kxeited men and terrified women ran shouting and screaming about the deck. The children cried shrilly, officers and seamen rushed anion? the passengers, shouting orders and helping women and children into life boats. Women clung desperatclv to their husbands or knelt upon the decks. Piles of life preservers were distributed among the passengers, who hastily donned them and flung themselves into the water. Overload One JJoat"In. their haste and excitement the seamen overloaded one of the life boats and the davit ropes broke whilo it w;us being lowered, the occupants being thrown into the water. Tho screams of these terrified women and men rose to the decks, intensifying the fright of those still on the ship. Some of tho passengers were picked up from the water by other boats, t don't know what happened to the others. Altogether I counted 10 life boats launched." HUBBARD NOT WORRIED Would Gt in Hall oT r.imo if He Went Down With Ship. NEW YORK. May 7. Elbert Hubbard. Just before he sailed on the Lusitania said laughingly: "Speaking from a strictly personal viewpoint. I would not mind if they did sink the ship. It might be a good thing: for me. I would drown with her and that's about the only way I could succeed In my ambition to get into the hall of fame, I'd be a real hero and go right to the bottom."

"It is deplorable if true that so many lives have been lost. 1 am shocked to hear the news, especially that American lives havo been sacrificed. "But It was absolutely criminal for tho Cunard company to carry and for the British government to allow the line to carry neutral passengers in a ship which was transporting explosives and munitions of war to be used by Great Britain and her allie?." This was the comment made by Capt. Franz, von Paptn, military Utacho of the imperial German embassy. The captain vigorously defended Germany's right to attack tho Lusitania under the circumstances. "The ship's manifest will show that she carried a large amount of picric acid and other explosive materials." he continued. "They certainly were not intended for peaceful uses. They were to be used against Germany and Germany had to defend herself against them. The best way was to destroy tho ship and such destruction was amply justifleel under the rules of war. "American and other neutral pasFen gers had due warning and a formal warning by our embassy. "It is to be regretted that war is war. Many deplorable things are, bound to happen. I regret this happening and all Germans will regret it. But Germany was forcoel into war and now she is fe-rced to keep on fighting. "Americans who have not been abroad do not understand what the conditions are. You read in your papers hero of 4 0,00 Russians being killed in one battle or of 20.0"0 Germans having lost their lives. You can rL over that without a qualm. But this incident of the Lusitania brines it homo to yrn. "The only sentiment I have he rd among Germans is one of sorrow that this loss of life, had to :e. I have heard no jubilation. All Germans, including those in the official service .ire deeply sorry if American lives havo beef, ot. But as I h.-ve said '.cir war.

CUNARD GdPW

SURVIVORS AND

BODIES LANDED

AT QUEENSTOWN Nearly Hundred Corpses Are Laid Out On Wharf Within Hour - American Consul Directs Care of U. S. Citizens. SOME THINK SHIP WAS HIT BY TWO TORPEDOES By Michael Bops QUEENSTOWN, May 8. - As the first light of morning fell upon the city of Queenstown, bodies of men, women and children were landed today from trawlers, and tugs that arrived during the night from the waters where the Lusitania plunged to the bottom of the Atlantic ocean after being torpedoed. The bodies were brought ashore at the Cunard wharf and laid out in long rows. Within an hour nearly a hundred had been laid out. Sea-bat-tered sailor men wept as they tenderly carried ashore the bruised and mangled bodies of little children and lay them upon the canvasses stretched over the floor of the Cunard storehouse. As fast as the bodies were brought ashore clerical employes of the Cunard company took up the grewsome task of identification. Some collapsed after they had been at their work for a short time and had to be replaced by others. American Consul Arrives. George E. Chamberlain, American consul at Cork, arrived here at midnight and took charge of the task of caring for the American survivors. In response to a dispatch from the American embassy at London he tried to get some trace of Alfred G. Vanderbilt, but was unsuccessful. "I am afraid that Mr. Vanderbilt perished. I am unable to get any trace of him." Some of the 44 American survivors, landed here departed for London via Liverpool at noon. Arrangements were made to send the others later in the day. Many of those rescued from the Lusitania and landed were on the verge of collapse today and only fragmentary stories of the disaster could be obtained from them. All were unanimous that the Lusitania was sunk without warning. No Panis Aboard. The survivors agreed that there was no panic on board the liner, though for a time there was considerable excitement among the steerage passengers. Many of those on board the liner believed that she would not sink and this is said to have increased the death list, scores declining to take to the boats until it was too late. Sank in Few Minutes. According to most of the survivors the Lusitania sank within a few minutes after she was torpedoed. Some say that they saw the periscope of a submarine after they had taken to the boats. Tho Lusitania went down by the head, causing a great suction that pulled down several boats still alongside her as she plunged. Most of the occupants were drowned. Among the victims was a woman with a little baby. She was sitting opposite the ship's doctor at luncheon, when the shock came. The doctor told her to get on deck as quickly as she could and she did so, taking to one of the boats. This was pulling away as the Lusitania took her final plunge. All in the boat were carried down, only the baby's cap floating on the water showing where the boat had gone down. Cuban Consul is Saved. Julia De Ayala the Cuban consul at Liverpool, came ashore wrapped in a blanket covering, the only garment he had on when the Lusitania was sunk. He was in bed when the liner was torpedoed. Mrs. M. N. Pappadopoul, wife of a wealthy Athenian, saved herself by swimming. She reached Queenstown clad in a sailor's trousers. Her husband was drowned. Several clergymen were among those rescued. Tiey came ashore in shirt and trousers. Some were suffering from serious injuries and are expected to die. BELIEVES SEA WILL BE FREED OF SHIPS NEW YRK. M.iy 7. Simon Lake, inventor of the tirst American submarines, said Friday night: "I never expected that In modern limes that any nition would sink a merchant ship heavily laden with passengers. This is a phas of submarine warfare that I never could hae conceded of a nation's adopting. "But now that the Lusitania has born terpedoed I see no reason tho German coulc not sink; any the v w anted to. 'I believe further that if the why ship war keep up much longer, all the w.-irring nations together will havo a sufficient number of submarines in action to drne all tran-oceani commerce from the ra. Judging by tho news of today thrir tint attack will be on the ere it trans A-.lantie liners. "Th fact of t ic warnings that j.reedtd the sailing of the Lusitania woald indicate tli.it the Germans could find asy target they sought."

Bryan Says its Not Shown Germans Sank Lusitania

WASHIN;TjN. May $. -In his tirst statement on the Lusitania Sec'y of State Bryan announced today that Ambassador Gerard at Berlin had been ordered to transmit a full report ef tho Gernum version of the sinking of the Cunard liner. He aJse said that he has asked fuller details of Ambassador Page at London anel tho American consul at Queenstown. The secretary has raised the first doubt as to tho nationality of tho submarine which dealt tho Lusitania her death blow. It is not officially known that the esscl was a German, he declared. His statement follows: "1 think all that you neel tell the peeple is that we are informing ourselves as rapidly ;us possible of the f: cts and are doing whyt we can for the injured. "We made inquiries this morning at Berlin aa to their report of tho disaster. "Wo also sent inquiries to tho consul at Queenstown and to Ambassador Pape at London. "We have no official knowledge that the submarine which sank the Lusitania was a Germ- n, but we aro asking for information from Germany." Ambassador Gerard, to whom the state department's inquiry was sent today, will immediately communicate with the German foreign office and v. ill ask for an early reply. WAS 1 1 INGTON. May S . A m -basador Pago at Ixmdon today cabled to tho state department that he had ordered tho American consul at Queenstown to care for the bodies of the dead and to givo all possible aid to the survivors, who have lost their money and belongings. He sent two army officers, Capt. Miller and Capt. Castle, to Queenstown to assist the consul in this work. VEH FIELD IS URGED FDR USE AS PLAYGROUND First Report of Municipal Recreation Committee Outlines Policy and Suggests Extension of Work in City. The first re port of the municipal recreation committee after six: months of work was issued Saturday. Fourteen typewritten paces cover the origin, purpose, policy, past work and future program of the committee. The report has been approved by the school board and will be submitted to the council Monday night ihen an appropriation will be asked to con tinue work that the committee h asoutlined for itself. What is considered the most important recommendation that the report will mako to the council is that asking for provision lor city playgrounds. The committee will recommend that the city purchase or lexse at least two tracts of ground of not less than live acres each. (10 acres if possible) located somewhere went of Chapin st. and south of Washington. One of these contracts, it is suggested, should be in tho extreme wotern part of tho city. The Oliver field, a tract of many acres, is suggested by the committee as an ideal playground, it is understood that stops hae already been taken to get a lease on this tract and the committee feels that it will havo no difficulty if Lacked by the council. Want More Equipment. More outside equipment is wanted at tho Kaley school. A complete change in the arrangement of the apparatus at the Laurel school i3 suggested for better results. At Leeper park it is recommended that the park board's plans for development should be carried out this year if possible. It is pointed out that this would eventually become the model play f.-dd of the city. A running track in this fbl is suggested. Howard park is suggested to be a children's playground. Sand hi its, building platform and a shelter tent ar.d baby swings are said to be needed. To properly saperis. this playground the committee states it should bk enclosed with a light ornamental fence. a teacher would greatly increase the attendance at tho playgrounds, it is stated. Pre!des S'x Ground-. The program of the committee if carried out will irivo South Ib-nd six playgrounds for outdoor recreation and five neighborhood e!ul houses for indoor recreation during tl!e winter months and will make a substantial beginning toward providing w holesome, rightly directed r ' re.tti"n for the whole city, is the ooncl;..-:ou i ; the repe.rt.
