Washington Viewjs Most Serious Crisis Since War Outbreak Washington, May 7.—Destruction of the British liner Lu sitania with the loss of many lives shocked officials of the Uni ted States government and spread profound grief in the nation al capital. Although it was not known how many, if any, of those lost were Americans, th e view was general that the most serious situation confront ed the American government since the outbreak of the war in Europe. The warning of the United States that Germany would be held to a “strict accountability for the loss of American lives,” irrespective of whether they were aboard belligerent or neutral vessels when attacked f ocussed attention on the White House, where President Wilso n until late in the night read the dispatches with grave interest. The President made no com ment. Secretary Bryan, Counsellor Lansing, senators and mem- j bers of the House who were in the city waited up until a late hour for definite news of the passengers and crC’w of the ill fated ship. Officials said facts and circumstances would have to be obtained by careful investigation during the nett few days be fore any announcements could be made by the. American gov- j I erament. i (Continued on Page A—Column 3) Japanese and Chinese Settlement to End Far Eastern Crisis w ashmgton, May (.—information from a high official source late today is that the F ar Eastern crisis has been avert ed and that a favorable settlement between Japan and China is in prospect.

i London, May 7.—8.35 P. M.— The following official com munication was issued this evening by the British govern ment: "As most mischief is dime by raw, cheap spirits of a fie ry quality, the government proposes to substitute for their taxing proposal a complete prohibition of the sale of spirits less than three years old. “The trade will receive time to provide for storage. "The beer duties are withdrawn without modification. The wine duties are withdrawn.” Italy Parliament Delays Convening Rome, Via Paris, May 7.—6.50 P.

KAISER’S CRAFT STRIKES ITS FATAL BLOW OFF IRISH COAST WITHOUT WARNING FOR 2000 SOULS ON BOARD THE VESSEL Less Than 700 Accounted for at 5 O’clock This Morning=Alfred Gruyne Vanderbilt Reported Among Missing London, May 8.—4.54 A. M.—A Dublin dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Co., says that the latest reports indicate the loss of life on the Lusitania as more than 1000. The Times Queenstown correspondent says that some of the sur vivors who have arrived there report that Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt was drowned. The Central News says that the number of the Lusitania’s passen gers who died of injuries while being taken to Queenstown will reach 100. Captain Turner of the Lusitania was among those saved. The Dublin Times states that the survivors aboard the tug Storm cock all are in a deplorable condition and that some of them are wounded. Twenty-two of those who were landed here have since died of their injuries. Nearly a!! the officers except Capt Turner and the first and second officers perished. The admiralty reports 590 persons landed at Quenstown with 40 dead. Queenstown, May 8.—4.28 A. M.—Survivors of the Lusitania who have arrived here estimate that only about 650 of those aboard the steamer were saved and only a small proportion of those rescued were saloon passengers. A dispatch to the state department early today from American Consul Frost at Queenstown stated that the total number of survivors of the Lusitania was about 700. London, May 8.—The Cunard liner Lusitania, which sailed out of New York last Saturday with more than 2000 souls aboard, lies at the bottom of the ocean off the Irish coast.. She was sunk by a German submarine, which sent two torpedoes crashing into her side, while the passengers, seemingly confident that the great swift vessel could elude the German under-water craft, were having luncheon. THE WEATHER RAIN TODAY Washington, May 7.—Following is the forecast for New England: Local rains Saturday: Sunday fair. STRUCK BY TWO TORPEDOES The Lusitania was steaming along about 10 miles off Old Head, Kinsale, on the last leg of her voyage to Liverpool, when about 2 o'clock in the afternoon a submarine suddenly appear ed, .and, so far as all reports go fired two torpedoes without warning at the steamer. One struck the bow and the other in the engine room, causing terrific explosions. Almost immedi ately great volumes of water poured through the openings and the Lusitania listed. Boats, which were already swung out on the davits, were dropped overboard and were speedily filled with the passengers who had been appalled by the attack. A wireless call for help was sent out and immediately res cue boats of all kinds were sent out both from the neighbor ing points along the coast and Queenstown. But within IS minutes, as (me survivor estimated, and certainly within half an hour, the Lusitania had disappeared. Material Value The Lusitania's cargo was valued at about three-quarters of a million dol lars and contained a large quantity of war supplies. The ship itself, Cunard officials said today, was covered by $5,000,000 war risk insurance. Despite the fate of the Lusitania, the Cunard Line permitted the Anchor Liner Transylvania to sail this evening for Liverpool. Out of her 870 passengers only 12 cancelled their passage. "The Cunard Co's, whole concern," said a message received about 5.30, "is with regard to the possible loss of life of passengers and crew. The mate rial loss is covered by insurance. Ac cording to the meagre messages so far received the Lusitania was torpedoed without warning and sank within a very short space of time.

In past rears ffort has been directed toward the acquisition by the City of a public dump where refuse is intelligently handled and- disposed of. From xnves 1 tications thus made it would appear that there is no suitable' land conten i iPnt ici the business section of the city, and it is possible that the reason why j such a public dump is not now in istence is because a location "-as i sought that would be convenient and the fact that one located somewhat further away would, in a very great measure, accomplish much. It appears t-» be a settled fact that if Gardiner is i to hat e a public dump it must be somewhat remote. The establishment f a city incinerator is again being f Uruached and investigations being con ducted along this line. It is to be hoped that s.me definite result either i 1 in securing an incinerator or dump will be accomplished. GARDINER PEOPLE TO OBSERVE MOTHERS’ DAY

Xext Sunday is the day appointed throughout the country as Mothers’ Day and will be generally observed. Let Gardiner make it a great day by j turning out en masse and attending I the various places of worship. If mother is living within a convenient j distance cal! and show the respect j due the one who gave you life: let there be a glad reunion. If that is i not possible, write her a letter, put ting in a note of unusual tenderness to gladden her heart. In any case let us pause and listen: and we shall surely catch the sweet scent of the voice that guided us through many a difficulty and around many a pitfall.

BRITISH STR. TRANSYLVANIA SAILS FROM N. Y. WITHIN FEW HOURS OF DISASTER 1 __■_ New York, Alay 7.—The British steamer Transylvania of the Anchor Line sailed late today for Liverpool, a few hours jaftex news of the Lusitania's sinking had ;been received. The Transylvania's cab ins were crowded, her agents said. •'There were 879 passengers aboard and 'others wanted to go, according to the 'line, but could not be accommodated for lack of room. Captain John Black, who was recently transferred to the Transylvania from the fBrltish auxiliary cruiser Columbia, com 'manded the ship. “I have been hunting for a subma rine ever since this war began,” was his comment on the Lusitania. “I only hope I see one on this trip and that she comes close enough for me to ram her.” “Do you expect to fly the American flag when you reach the war zone?” he was asked. “No, sir. I’ll take my ship to port with the flag of 'England flying or not at all,” he replied. All precautions, however, Capt. Black said, would be observed when the Transylvania sailed. BOSTON RESIDENTS DECIDED TO DIVE DP TRIP AT LAST MOMENT Boston May 7.—A premonition of disaster was responsible for the fact that Edward B. Bowen, a wealthy Shoe dealer whose name appears on the "list of saloon cabin passengers who sailed on the Lusitania” tonight heard reports of the wreck of the liner at his home in Newton instead of struggling for his life in the Irish sea. Mr. Bowen, with important business awaiting him in London had engaged passage on the Lusitania. “Friday night,’’ he explained, “a feeling grew upon me that somethin t was going to happen on the Lusita nia. 1 talked it over with Mrs. Bowen, Hnd decided to cancel passage.” At least one Boston man was a s loon passenger on the Lusitania al though not listed on the official roll. Bichard R. Frances. Jr., son of a shipping broker, widely known, en gaged passage at the last moment He is a graduate of Harvard nd a min ing engineer, on his way to Siberia. Mr. and Mrs. Stewart S. Mason were making their honeymoon trip on the Lusitania. They were married here April 21. Charles Stewart, New England manager for the line tonight said that the passengers who lost their lives or belongings had no redress from the company. ‘They agreed when they purchased their passage that they would assume all risks, and that the company was not liable under any i circumstances,” he asserted. Besides Mr. Bowen, it was learned tonight, two other Boston persons whose names were included in the list of those who sailed on the Lusi tania, did not make the trip. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Adams of Newton who had booked passage, decided at the last moment not to make the trip. A son, Arthur Henry Adams London representative of the United States Rubber Co., and his 19-year-old son William M. Adams were passengers. MUST SHOW THAT WASTE ON ALBANY PRINTING WAS FAULT OF BARNES TO ADMIT AS EVIDENCE Syracuse, N. Y., May ".—Justice Wil liam S. Andrews, presiding at the trial of William Barnes’ suit for libel against Theodore Roosevelt, ruled today that un clean It was shown that Mr. Barnes actu ally knew of and profited by alleged ex travagance and waste In the execution in f-Albany of orders for public printing, evi dence upon that subject was incompe tent. The proof, according to the ruling tof the court, must be either circumstan tial or direct, and it must be shown that the waste and extravagance was brought about through his political Influence. The question of printing in general would, it was said tonight, come up again on Mon day. What counsel for Col. Roosevelt repre sented to be a list of the commissions paid by the J. B. Lyon Co. to the Journal Co. during the nine years from 190.1 to 1912 was read to the jury late today. The total of the sums read from the list was slightly in excess of $37,000. BRITISH EDITORIALS ON SINKING OF CONARD LINER LUSITANIA London, May 8.—2.24 A. M.—Most of the morning newspapers printed edi troials today concerning the sinking sof the Lusitania. The Times says it is not for Great iBritain to speculate upon the course ,to be adopted by the United States government, now that they are con fronted with a situation whicti con ‘cerns that country as closely as it (does Great Britain. “The members of Mr. Wilson’s min istry,’’ says the Times, "are the guar dians of their national honor and the 'lives of their own people. Upon them 'rests a heavy responsibility which we .shall not seek to accc. .mte; but the destruction of the Lusitania must as suredly hasten the day when every civilized power will feel constrained 'to join us.” The Times adds that if no life had been lost the character of the sink ing of the Lusitania and the inten sions which prompted it would have remained unaltered. The ship re ceived no special naval protection be cause of the principles that apparent

ly have been laid down that when so i many large passenger steamers are constantly approaching or le\*ing the coast of Great Britain no particular i steamer can be singled out for excep- I tional protection unless national in- terests make such a step imperative. 1 "This, however,’’ the Times con cludes, "is a subject upon which fur ther enlightenment must be awaited For the moment attention is concen trated with horror upon the appall ing nature of the deed thus wrought, to their advertisement. The Graphic says exact details of the Lusitania in one sense are unimportant, I but the broad fact is that a ship contain ing 2000 non-combatants and neutrals was sent to her destruction with every prospect-of an appalling toll. It adds: "The real significance of this news is that such a deliberate affront to neu trals is the weapon of a nation that knows itself defeated.” The Daily Telegraph declares that the sinking of this "float hotel” affects "not only ourselves but the English .thinking people on the other side of the Atlan tic.” r SACO MAINE MAN WOUNDED AT THE FRONT t Ottawa'. May 7.—A casualty list for the Canadian contingent at the front issued h«re tonight contains the names of Wil liam Wallace MacIntyre, Somerville, JVIasa., and James MacMillan, Saco, Me., both privates, who are listed as wounded.

Railway service was suspend ed for six hours last Friday and Sat urday at Gras and Laybach to permit the pssage of military trains carrying artillery and ammunition to Triest. Considerbie German forces are said to be at Graz awaiting transportation to Zagrab, Croatia and thence to Bos LUSITANIA (Continued From Pago One) number of the ship’s boats are known to be afloat and the weather is re ported to be fine and calm.

The others were the White Star Liner Oceanic, wrecked off the north coast of Scotland, September last, and the North German Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm Der Grosse, converted into a German auxiliary cruiser and sunk by the British cruiser Highflyer Aug. 27. WASHINGTON VIEWS (Continued From Page One) When the German admiralty proclaim ed the waters around Great Britain and Ireland a “war zone” and warned neu tral vessels against the dangers that lay therein, the United States did not admit Germany’s right to place hazards in the way of American vessels or lives. No distinction was drawn then as to whether the representations of the United States covered Americans traveling on belliger ent or neutral craft, but officials in formally disclosed later that the note had been purposely phrased so as to cover both contingencies. Members of the foreign relations committee are now in the city. It is thought they will be consulted by President Wilson before he decides upon the policy to be pursued by the United States. The report that the Lusitania was torpedoed without warning created a profound sensation, for it was the llrst case in which tills threatened proced ure has been carried out with Amer icans on board a beliigerent vessel. Aside from the diplomatic phase of the case, which were widely discussed in the capital tonight, the sinking of the liner brought to light an interesting story of repeated threats and warn ings which have reached high officials for several days past of a plan by the German admiralty to sink the Lusi tania for the effect it would have on Great Britain and the terror it might spread among ocean travelers general ly. Information gathered among- offi cials of the government tended to coqiirm the Relief■ that plans’for the destruction of tht> Lusitania were made several weeks ago. First, the German embassy was instructed to advertise in the leading newspapers of the United States warning passen gers against traveling on belligerent ships. Anonymous warnings then were sent to individuals who propos ed sailing on the Lusitania. Most significant of all were letters receiv ed here from officials in Germany by private persons stating that the Lu sitania surely would be destroyed. One official was told with much posi tiveness early today that this was the day selected for the destruction of the vessel. At the German embassy here it was said that the embassy knew the Lus itania carried arms and ammunition and, being advised of the resolution of the German admiralty to attack ships that carried such contraband, officials had believed she would be at tacked. The Germans Inquired whether the Lusitania carried any guns on her decks which might place her in the class of a warship. At the British em bassy, it was revealed that early in the war, after the United States gov ernment had been consulted on the question of small guns for the big liners the advice was given by the state department and heeded, that no guns be carried on the decks. GERMANS LEAVE ITALY CAPITAL Rome, via Paris, May 7, 4.35 A. M.— Upon receipt of a dispatch from Ber lin, the German school in this city suddenly was closed yesterday after noon.

M.— The Austrian embassy has issued a denial that Baron Goluchowdki has been entrusted by the Vienna govern ment with a special mission to Rome.

FINAL PROPOSALS BY AUSTRIAN CABINET Paris, May 7, 4.30 A. M.—A Havas dispatch from Rome says the Austrian ambassador is reported to have hand ed to Foreign Minister 5onnino, at a conference yesterday afternoon, thet cabinet's Anal proposals to Italy, con taining the extreme concessions the Dual Monarchy is willing to make.

WALL STREET EXCITEMENT IS INTENSE New York, May 8.—The first news of the torpedoing and sinking of the Cunard liner Lusitania came shortly after 1 p. m., today, through an an nouncement from the local office of the Cunard Line, which stated that an unconfirmed rumor to that effect had been received from abroad. Less than an hour later the company made public additional messages con firming the report which in tho meantime, however, had been verified by newspaper dispatches from Lon don. The publication of the news created tremendous excitement in Wall street and there followed a violent decline in both the stock and cotton markets. Under an avalanche of selling or ders which reached their greatest volume during the last hour of trad ing stock fell from eight to 29 points and cotton $2.50 a bale. The so-called war stocks, like Bethlehem Steel were especially affected. The Lusitania, with a total of 1251 passengers aboard, of whom 188 were Americans, and with a crew of 816. sailed from here last Saturday In the face of a warning published on the day of the departure by the German embassy, which stated that travelers intending to embark on British ships did so at the risk of the ship being destroyed in accordance with the Ger man war zone decree. This warning did not result in the cancellation of a single passage. Reports from WTashington that It was privately Known in official quar ters that the Lusitania was to be tor pedoed at the first opportunity gave color to the opinion expressed in shipping circles tonight that the em bassy's warning was intended to ap ply particularly to the Lusitania. LIST TO PORT PREVENTED LAUNCHING LIFEBOATS Dublin, May 8.—(3.17 A. M.).—The mo torboat Elizabeth has arrived at Kinsale and reports that at 3.30 o'clock yesterday afternoon she picked up two lifeboats containing 63 and 16 survivors of the Lu sitania, respectively. A Cork tug took the rescued to Queenstown. They were mostly women and children. The passen gers said that owing to the lost to port the Lusitania could not launch many of her lifeboats. JOURNAL WANT ADS BRING RESULTS TRY ONE AND SEE a Former Pres. Roosevelt Says We Mast Take Action Syracuse, N. Y., May 7.—Theodore Roosevelt, former President of the United States after learning details of the sinking of the Lusitania, late tonight, made this statement: “This represents not merely piracy, but piracy on a vast* er scale of murder than any old time pirate ever practiced. This is the warfare which destroyed Louvain and Diiiant and hundreds of men, women and children in Belgium. It is warfare against innocent women and children traveling on the ocean and our own fellow countrymen and countrywo men who are among the sufferers. “It seems inconceivable that we can refrain from tak ing action in this matter for we owe it not only to humanity, but to our own national self-respect.” JAPS AWAIT CHINA REPLY TOJAPANESE ULTIMATUM Tokio, May 7. 9.45 P. M.—The Jap anese await China’s reply to the Jap anese ultimatum. The government, it is stated, has been deeply desirous of avoiding a rupture with China. Pend ing the receipt of China's reply, how ever. military and naval preparations are being pushed vigorously. The records now show that China last evening offered to concede to the Tokio government more than the Jap anese ultimatum now exacts from her. It was learned today that in the course of Vice Minister Tsao Yulin’s visit to the Japanese legation yester day evening, he proposed verbally to meet the Japanese railroad demands; to grant school and hospital privileges; offered to bestow land without compen sation upon Japanese and proposed to withdraw China's demands regarding Shantung province, namely, trie re turn to the status quo before the war, China's participation in the peace con ference and compensation for damage in the Kilo Chow campaign The final Chinese proposals, there fore. refused only to authorize Japan to supply half the arms used by China to participate in the conduct of Chi nese arsenals to appoint Japanese ad visers to China and to preach Bud dahism in the Republic. The handing in of the Japanese ul timatum to China has brought out knowledge on one point which has sur prised Chinese officials as well as the members of the foreign legations here. It seems that Japan after insisting upon the acceptance of her demands suspended in her ultimatum discussion of all Group 5 with the exceptions of the demand bearing upon Fukien prov ince to which the Chinese had agreed in their reply of last Saturday. ALLEGED PLOT TO KILL TWO SHERIFFS AND THEN ESCAPE Lewiston, Me., May 7.—Sheriff Davis last night discovered an alleged plot whereby either Deputy Sheriff Tuttle or Deputy Sheriff Cronin was to be killed and two prisoners who have been sen tenced to serve terras at the State prison were to attempt to escape. The sheriff i learned of the alleged plot late in the evening and immediately took steps to cerify his information which he found to be, as he believes, correct. John Belden and Oliver Cloutier were named in the information as the men who We re to kill the deputies. Belden was sentenced to serve four years at Thomaston by Chief Justice Sav age yesterday morning and Cloutier was sentenced to serve from four to eight years. In the information Belden is nam ed as the originator of the proposed plot and Cloutier as the second man approach ed by Belden to go in with him and com mit the crime. The first information of the alleged plot came to the sheriff in a note which was passed to him. The writer said that he did not dare to have anyone know that he had told of the plot because he "feared for his life." The scheme as outlined by Belden and Cloutier,' but mostly by Belden, acord ing to the information received by the sheriff, w-as to strike Deputy Sheriff Tut tle down as the prisoners were leaving the dining room after breakfast this morning and escape through the kitchen to the street The jail dining room is directly be neath the sheriff’s office. Two doors open from it, one into the jail and one into the kitchen. The kitchen has several exits, one of which is about 15 feet from the dining room door and the door leading from the kitchen to out-of-doors are d>th usually open while the prisoners are eating. The deputy in charge stands in the dining room door facing the prisoners. The door is about two-thirds the width of the average door. The tables in the Jail dining room are so placed that the first prisoners to enter the room from the jail file in to the corner of the room farthest from the kitchen door, and are the last to leave the room after the meal is over. The prisoners are forced to march to and from the dining rom in single file. Belden’s scheme, it is said, was for Cloutier and he to place themselves at the head of the line and take the seats farthest from the door so that they might leave the dining room last this morning. As they filed by Deputy Sheriff Tuttle, whom they expected to be on guard, Cloutier was to attract I

France For Prohibition of Liquor Paris, May 7, 9.45 A. M.— The Petit Parisien says it has been informed the govern ment will introduce a bin prohibiting absolutely the manufacture, sale and trans portation of aU alcoholic drinks during the progress of the war. Even beverages containing a slight propor tion of alcohol, it is under stood, will be prohibited.

the deputy’s attention and Belden wat to strike him down. In the information which came to the sheriff, Belden is quoted as say ing: “Tuttle can be put out of the way easy enough." It is supposed that Belden had some weapon which he had secreted in his cell when the painters were at work in the jail. There are always knives in the jail, no matter how strict the officers are. The prison ers make knives from pieces of tin, from spoon handles and even from pieces of glass. The sheriff said last night that al though Belden thought Tuttle was to be on duty this morning. Deputy Sher iff Cronin would be in charge, it being his turn. He decided to stay at the jail himself during the night and to kep Belden, Cloutier and the other men sentenced to State prison locked in their cells until they were taken to Thomaston.

JAPANESE PRESS’ AGAINST MAKING NEW CONCESSIONS Tokio, May 7, 1.15 p. m.—The press generally deprecates the necessity of further concessions to .China. Soma newspapers express the fears that some impressions will go abroad that the Elder Statesmen are still the power behind the throne. More than 40 warships, including the battleship Hizen and the battle cruiser Kongo, are preparing at Sase bo for possible operations against China. A second squadron under Ad* miral Nawa, has arrived and is has tily embarking supplies. Rear Admiral Kamimura’s fleet In cluding the battleships Sagami and Suwo has been ordered to the Gulf of Pechili to be in readiness to take aboard Minister Hicki in case of ne cessity. The police are protecting Prof. Ar iga, Japanese adviser to President Tuan Shi-Kai, whom speakers have denounced as a Chinese spy and are arranging protection for Chinese res idents of Japan.

On April 15, 1912, the world was shocked by the news of a sea disaster in which 1500 lives were lost—the sink ing of the great steamship Titanic after collision with an iceberg. Since August, 1914, the world has be come so inured to carnage—to reading details of wholesale death—that re ports of massacre, crushing out of lives by volcanic eruption, or devasta tion by cyclone, do not shock unless near home. Hut on Friday the Old World dis patches carrying the news of the sink ing 9! the Cunard line steamship Lusi tania, which was carrying nearly 1300 passengers, as an act of “war,” caused civilization to arouse from its apathy. The scene of this war “engagement,” according to bulletins Friday after noon, was on the South Channel route from New York to Queenstown, scarce ly 25 miles from the latter port. This comes "near home” to all parts of the world. It "comes home” to America, to New England, to Maine. Neutral peoples will find it hard to reconcile the attempt to blow into eternity hundreds of innocent persons to "impress an enemy,” as an "ACT OF WAR.” Tile steamship is said to have been torpedoed and sunk in 21 minutes- many dead or dying being brought to shore in the boats of rescuers. These people were neither bent on war nor pleasure. They were pass ing from the United States to Europe in matters of vital necessity—some to assist in caring for victims of the war. They were not in the war zone except in this one sense: By sinking the Lusitania Germany proves to the world that Great Britain does not control the sea; that she is still able to defy the mighty sea power of her enemy. The same act accomplished in New York harbor would seem almost as justifiable for the same purpose. In proving her ability and prowess, Germany assaults friend and foe. It is the latest development of "civil ized1’ warfare. Human life is nothing if its taking proves a claim. But we arc convinced this one act will go farther to convince the whole world that German domination of the world would be relentless, than have all previous acts of war. We feel that yesterday must go down as a black Friday in German history; that since yesterday world sympathy for the German cause has shrunk tremendously. A Maine Soldier Honored. It is pleasing news which the Jour nal's special Washington dispatch brings to the people of Maine, the hon oring of brave son with an important trust, one of the greatest in the gift of the Nation in the care of its Disabled Volunteer Soldiers. Unsolicited, General Joseph S. Smith of Bangor, has been appointed Gover nor of the National Soldiers Home at Hampton, Virginia. This honor is especially gratifying to the veterans who not only love Gen. Smith with a brotherly affection but are proud of his record and his soldierly qualities. Gen. Smith served throughout the entire war of the Rebellion and was honorably mustered out in 1865, after many promotions, and Awarded a medal of honor for "special bravery In battle." Gen. Smith served as aide-de-camp on the. staffs of half a dozen famous generals of the war, and from each— Gens. Hancock, Sedgwick, Couch, Humphreys, Howard and Warren—he treasures a highly complimentary letter. Maine is proud of her distinguished "soldier boy,” and while thanking the Board of Managers for the honor, con gratulates it upon the wisdom of its voluntary selection. “There's an abundant chance for varie ty in writing of Theodore Roosevelt—you can call him Mr. Cold., Hon. or ex rres.," says the Lowell Courier-Citizen. And once, on his foreign travels, if we remember correctly, he was created a datto—whatever that may be.—Manches ter Union. Sjme of his gifted political enemies have called him worse than that. A new brand of tobacco has been named Culebra, because it isn't a fine out.—Boston Advertiser. Better let it slide. t “Italy alive with rumors”? Well, that’s a new name for ’em. P A Reasonable Suggestion. One of the first questions to be set tled by the various states In the jit ney “craze,” the method of fixing re sponsibility in public service on the part of many irresponsible units. This phase is being brought to the attention of public utility commis sions, asking that individual owners of vehicles in transportation of peo ple be required to furnish surety bonds in order to provide compensa tion in case of accidents. In Philadelphia much trouble has been caused in the development of the Jitney service as a result of the ap pearance on the streets of vehicles of all types operated in some cases by unskilled men and without adequate guarantee of compensation in case of mishap. The Washington Star demands that the public be as surely safeguarded in the matter of accident compensa tion as regards the operation of jit ney buses as in the case of street railways, which, with their fixed and irremovable plants, are in themselves bonded through their property against court damages. Wilsomsms. President Wilson persists good-nat uredly in his phrase-coining, despite their coming home to roost in unwel come way. “Pitiless publicity and "watchful waiting” have ten thousand times over proved the meaningless use of words that issue from the mouths of politicians, but he is making other expressions just as sure to “come back.” At Troy, N. Y., the other day, he said: "I have been sentence^ to several years of hard labor.’' In a recent speech he said: “No nation i3 competent to sit in judgment upon another.” Of course he referred to the European war, but could he have ex pected that would escape the applica tion of the present administration’s pitiful farce in Mexico? President Wilson so far “sat in judgment” upon Mexico that ho drove out the president and only responsible head of that unhappy nation, and by so doing he has established a condition of anarchy, wholesale plunder and brigandage unparalleled in its historj. •In the campaign which landed him in the White House, Woodrow Wilson dwelt upon "reduction of the high cost of living,” and pledged himself to ex emption of the toils for coastwise ship ping through the Panama canal. The first, as everybody now knows, was a baseless political promise that has stamped indelibly upon the Democratic party the unreliability of its campaign claims. The second was flatly and without any attempt at excuse or jus tification, repudiated. So much for the high-sounding phrases of scholars and theorists. Dot President Wilson go on turning them out, if he will, but they are bound to be remembered and applied. The Journal is in receipt of of a copy of the Apri 1 issue of the Granite Monthly, a magazine published at Concord, N. H., which contains an ar ticle by Wm. E. Wallace on Hon. A. Chester Clark, judge'of the municipal court of Concord. The frontispiece is also a fine portrait of Judge Clark. The subject of the article will be re membered in Augusta, where he was on the Kennebec Journal's reportorial stafT in 1901-2 and the article is an in teresting story of K young man who by -his own endeavors, pluck and perse verence has succeeded early in life. Judge Clark has just been given a re appointment to the judgeship by Gov. It. H. Spaulding and Council, even though the judge is a through and through Democrat, his two years of dispensing common sense law and jus tice in the position having convinced all that he is the man for the place. The Journal joins in extending con gratulations. i 1 The National American Woman Suf frage Association has stolen a march on the antis by flooding the exposition with a silent argument for woman suf frage. This argument is nothing less than a modest little button which is appearing upon the garb of thousands of Western women in attendance. The button reads merely: “I’m a Voter.” The idea is, of course, to make the visitors from the conservative East ern states realize, through visual aid, that there are thousands and thou sands of well-groomed, happy, sensi ble women who actually vote, and the National Association has seized upon the Panama-Pacific Exposition as the best possible place in which to demon strate the truth of their contention. Dr. Frederick A. Cook announced today that he would attempt to climb Mount Everest this summer.—Dispatch from Chicago. As a mountain climber Doc Cook is one of the most accomplished announcers the world has ever known—New York Sun. And as a descriptive artist—well, we understand he is already putting down his impressions while standing at “the new top of the world.” Honestly, now, Just how much do you suppose William Barnes’ reputation was damaged by what Colonel Roosevelt said about him—Manchester Union. Well, of course you can't compute dollars in terms of votes.—Brockton Times. What? Now we heard that Terre Haute had established a standard of computation. We violate no confidence in saying that the Maine man who got 18 chicks from a Betting of 13 eggs couldn’t have done it with an incubator.—Boston Globe. We dislike to see you so cock sure on the chicken question. Now we haven’t had a hen hatch an egg this spring but we have a large number of little chickens. We say "large number” because we’ve tried to count ’em and it can’t be done. We are waiting to hear the disarma ment crowd tell us that if the United States had no navy the Gulflight would not have been torpedoed.—Philadelphia North American. On the other hand, to declare that if we had a superlative fleet the Gulf light would not have been torpedoed is to admit that we’d have been mixed up in the war already If we had dared. Judging from the firm notes already written, should Villa fire into Brownsville again we’ll retaliate by moving Browns ville entirely out of range.—Washington Post. And if John Bull doesn’t stop being so selfish with his old ocean we’ll take all our boats out of It, so there; Maine Gossip “The Larger Love.” (Elizabeth Powers Merrill.) Do not dream X love thee less, dear— 1 do hut love thee more. As down the past my swift eyes peer Upon the days of yore. Those golden hours have long been dumb— The hours of joy„;and spring— Tomorrows and tomorrows come, But Youth has taken wing! Do not dream I love thee less, dear What if thy hair is gray? I hold thee dearer year by year. Love sanctifies the way. When 1 have seen thee bowed with care, My heart for thee has yearned,— But God was only leading where Life's bigger things are learned! Do not dream I love thee less, dear, My love has deeper grown, With every joy and every tear— With every (lower that’s blown. It only seems but yesterday I was both young and fair— Tomorrows and tomorrows lay Their silver on my hair! Do not dream I love thee less, dear, My heart remembers all: The days afar, the days anear, The bitter tears that fall. But sorrow, death, and all things here, A larger life have spun— A larger love from year to year— A love that makes us one! The old story of the clam seller who atempted to increase his trade by spelling out to some of his customers O-r-g-u-s-t for August, hoping to con vince them that clams were good in all months having the leter “R” is being revived. You will readily see the moral of this story told by the Franklin Journal of Farmington, the substance of which is as follows: A local music dealer sold a piano for the regular price of $265. It again came into his hands and was resold for $200. The new owners then exchanged it for a phonograph, being persuaded by the agent for the talking machine that the piano could be bought anywhere for $150. The last agent then, the story goes, sold the piano on the installment plan for $200, claiming it was aregular $350 article. All hands having now found how the deals were made, it will be interesting to watch the developments. Harsh remedies are sometimes nec essary to correct the evil and no doubt the men in the following incident thought the evil was a particularly bad one. A piece of steel became caught in a stone crusher at work at the pit at Meetinghouse hill. South Portland, and the men in charge used dynamite to dislodge it. The first charge was not heavy enough to do the business, so they put in a heavier one and "touched it off.” It worked first rate, so much so that not only was the piece of steel sent a-flying but the bot tom of the machine went the other way. No one was hurt, strange to say, and the crusher is still on doty., al though slightly disabled. A Lewiston man, A. L. Kavanagh, has given the free use of 25 lots of land for garden purposes by either children or adults, and in addition will give a prize of $10 in gold to the per son w'ho raises the best all-round flower and vegetable garden. The regents of the American College announce the appointment of John Tabbert Bowman, A. B., M. D., as director of the college. The American College of Surgeons was founded in 1913 and is an organization of the sur geons of the United States and of Canada. Its purpose is the advance ment of the art and science of surgery. Miss Mary Hall of Richmond, sis ter of William T. Hall, Jr., of Bath, had a remarkable experience with the United States mail a short time ago. 9 □OGOOQQOGQGGGOOGOOGGOGOQOOOOOOQQOGG □QQGGOQPOGGGOGGGOOuGOOQGOGOGOQGGPGGOQOOQGuGOGUlJUUUG

Mias Hall la employed in Raleigh, South Carolina, with a prominent photographer, and one day received a letter end the only address on the envelope was her name and South Carolina. How it came to he for* warded to her In Raleigh has not been explained. The letter was written by a lady friend in Boston, and the writer did not remember the city where Miss Wall resided. She planned to get the address from a friend but accidentally mailed the letter before doing so and was greatly surprised when she received a reply from Miss Hall saying that it had arrived. Machiasport had a remarkable re* ligious meeting last Tuesday after noon at Liberty hall. Evangelist Harry Taylor Is holding a two-weeks series of meetings at East Machias and on Tuesday with Rev. H. O. Worthley rode to Machiasport, where arrangements were quickly made to hold a service at the Town hall. Supt. I. M. Bangs of the local canning fac tory was then approached with the suggestion that he give the operatives an opportunity to attend and he readily agreed, so that over 100 of his force marched in a body to the church, over 300 in all being In at tendance. Evangelist Taylor preached a powerful sermon and incidentally caused a smile when he referred to a strike which he observed when a boy, the audience smiling because they have Just been having a strike in their own factory. The evangelist also smiled when shown the local ap plication of his illustration. The question of making free the old toll bridge at Eastport will come before the next meeting of the city council. The State appropriation will take care of the proposed repairs and other bridge expenses during the next two years and thus the necessity of auctioning off the bridge to the highest bidder will be done away with. Some think the bridge Is al ready free, but the matter must go to the people for a vote. It was a happy reunion that recently took place at the home of Mrs. Frances Mary Purlngton, Middle and York streets, Bath, when four generations were grouped under her roof. A re markable incident was the fact that the representatives of each generation were also the oldest in their respec tive families, and on account of this fact they had a group photograph tak en to mark the occasion. In the group were Mrs. Purlngton, aged 71; her daughter, Mre. Minnie Crossey, aged 52; her granddaughter, Mrs. Melvina Freeman of Bowdoin, aged 31, and her great-granddaughter, Elizabeth Free man aged 11. John Gorman and William Credon, who left Sanford soon after the be ginning of the European war and en listed in a Canadian regiment, have re turned to Sanford from the front, hav ing been released from duty on account of ill-health. Gorman has a wound in flicted by a pieoe of shell striking him while he was bending over a fire mak ing tea, and Credon has frostbitten feet. His story of hpw his feet were frozen is that hiS company went into a trench captured from the Germans, which was very damp. Exhausted, they went to sleep on sand bags, and when they awoke they were nearly submerged by water that had flowed Into the trench. During a cold wave which followed every man in the com pany had his feet frozen. Light and Airy My Rows With Theo. rhe rows I’ve had with thee, dear heart, Are as a ton of coal to me; I count each one a lump apart, My rows with thee, my rows with thee. Each word a slur, each slur a knock Until our hearts were anger-wrung, It seemed as though there were no end. And both of us were Btung. 0 memories that hurt and burned, O barren days that used to pass, How long it took before I learned. To kiss, sweetheart, to kiss some other lass! -L. A. Went Well Recommended. Mrs. O’Brien was consoling Mrs. Mc Carty for the loss of her husband and, seeking for something comforting, said: “Mrs. McCarty, I must say this for Pat: There never was a liner fellow In the world than Pat when he was not intoxi cated.” “You are right, Mrs. O’Brien," sobbed the widow. “Oh, you’re right entirely, my darling, but I never saw him that way.” An Aerial Invasion. Gen. Sir Arthur Paget tells a story repeated In the Tatler—of a visit paid by an inspector to a prison in the north of Ireland. There had been a rumor that the prisoners were underfed, and the Inspector, determined to find out If there was any truth In It, decided to question the prisoners himself. On entering one cell he noticed that the atmosphere seemed rather stuffy, and glancing round, he noticed that the ven tilator was shut. “Your cell seems rather close and stuffy,” he remarked to the prisoner. “Why don’t you have the ventilator open?” “I should like to, sir,” replied the pris oner, "but I daren’t risk it.” “Bisk It!” repeated the inspector. “What risk is there?” “Well, sir,” the prisoner explained, “the last time I had it open a large bee— quite a large one, .sir—flew in and carried off my dinner.” It to Laugh. This fellow made himself the laughing stock of the whole family, in fact it spread to the neighborhood. But, in view of the fact that it is or just has been house cleaning time it appears to some that he was as foolish as a fox. She told him to put down a carpet and her instructions were not specific, al though she told him she wanted some thing underneath 1C He put it down dur ing her absence. That evening she found beneath the carpet, after an extended search for the missing articles, two sheets, three pillow cases and an Ameri can flag. She chuckles about it even yet while he—well, he thinks it's worth 1C Ns Pises for FMs. (Boston Transcript.) Mrs. Nexdore (angrily)—I want you to keep your dog out of my house; it’s full of fleas.

Paine, Au gusta.aprlBdtf Iver Johnson THE PINNACLE OF BICYCLE QUALITY $35 to $60 Probably you are getting the idea that the Iver Johnson costs a pretty stiff price. As a matter of fact, it does cost more than an ordinary, cheaply built, job machine—about five dollars more. But a world of difference in quality that five dollars represents. It means the difference between welded and seam less tubing, between inaccurate, hastily tempered bearings and the most exqui sitely machined bearings that ever went into a bicycle; between a paint and varnish coating and a finish consisting of hand-rubbed, baked enamel; finally that five dollars represents the difference between a bicycle you will never like and one that will give you many years of splendid service.

It has been truthfully said that any disturbance of the even balance of health causes serious trouble. No body can be too careful to keep this balance up. When people begin to lose appetite, or to get tired easily, the least imprudence brings on sick ness, weakness, or debility. The sys tem needs a tonic, craves it, and should not be denied it; and the besl tonic of which we have any knowl edge Is Hood’s Sarsaparilla. What this medicine has done in keeping healthy people healthy, in keeping up the even balance of health, gives t the same distinction as a preventive that It enjoys as a cure. Its early use has illustrated the wisdom of the old saying that a stitch in time saves nine. Take Hood’s for appetite, strength, and endurance.—Adv. Silver Lake Grange Silver Lake Grange held its regular meeting Tuesday evening, May 4. with an attendance of 60 members. The Third and Fourth degrees were con ferred on Edith C.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured. by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an inflamed condi tion of the mucous lining of the Eusta chian Tube. When this tube Is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the in flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condi tion of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY CO., Toledo, Ohio.

Fred Hill PLANS BEING PERFECTED FOR MEMORIAL DAY A rescript was received by Clerk of Courts W. T. Seelcins Friday in the case of Cummings Mfg. Co. vs. c.vde H. Smith, Selden F. Creene and J. Fred Hill, in which the law court, through Mr. Justice Spear, overrules the exceptions taken by the defendant, and confirms the verdict ordered in favor of the piaintiffs. This is ihe second of the cases grow ing out of the affairs of the Smith Pub lishing Co., which recently conducted a mail order publishing business at Skowhogan, taking over the business from the old F. J. Smith Co. Both cases were argued before the law court in December, a rescript in the case of Folsom, Receiver, vs. Smith et als., having been handed down in Febru ary, sustaining the claim of the re ceiver against the directors for a con version of a portion of the assets. The action brought by the Cummings Mfg. Co., which is a wholesale jewelry house doing business at Attleboro, Mass., is on an account for merchan dise sold to the defendants in Octo ber and November, 1911, prior to the organization of the Smith Publishing Co., while the business was still being conducted under the name of the F. J. Smith Co. The plaintiff contended that as the individual directors had taken I over tlie property, including the "good will” of the business, under a mort gage, which mortgage they had fore closed, and had assumed as individ uals to convey the entire assets to the new corporation, that they were individually liable for the debts of the business during that period. The de fendants denied personal liability, claiming that the business was that of the old corporation, which alone was liable for Us obligations. At the trial before Justice Bird at the April term, 1914, a verdict was or- I dered for the plaintiff for the admitted balance of account, $366.54, to which order the defendants excepted. The1 overruling of the exceptions permits1 final judgment for the plaintiff. John F. Phillips, who has been i.i with rheumatic trouble and confined to his house for three weeks, is now'! slightly improved. George K.

Young Gets Stiff Jail Sentence Friday Morning in the Municipal Court—Caught Dead to Rights HIS ROUNDUP DUE TO FINE WORK OF POLICE Prisoner Proves Old Offender with State Prison Record Be hind Him Denies Charges But Evidence Against Him Is Overwhelming The arrest Thursday afternoon of one Ed Young and his arraignment Friday morning before Judge Lancas ter of the municipal court on the charge of larceny of poultry is believ ed by the authorities to have dispelled the mystery which has heretofore shrouded the wholesale stealing in that line which has been carried on in various sections of the city for some time past, and to have placed a re striction on the liberty of the one who has been doing the stealing for some time to come. It will be remembered that the war rant on which Young was arrested Thursday afternoon charged him with being an idle and disorderly person without any visible means of support, hut that proved to be but a ruse by which he might be taken into custody without being made suspicious of the real nature of the charge which was to be preferred against him and to substaniate which the police were in possession of an abundance of evi dence. When Young was brought int6 court Friday morning he found that he was up against several charges, all of which he fought out himself and, without the aid of counsel. The first charge on which he was arraigned was that of having stolen on the night of Feb. 25 last. 17 hens and two roosters of the Rhode Island Red breed from the premises of Owen E. Taylor, who lives on the Widow San ford place, so-called, in Manchester. The complaint was sworn out by Mr. Taylor and Young’s plea was that ot not guilty. It came out in the tes timony that Young had made the trip to the TOylor place in a wagon, al though at that time the ground was covered by one of the heaviest snow falls of the winter, tind that he had hitched the horse in*, the woods near to four corners;'that* in transferring the poultry from tike lionhouse to his team he had to ufjike several trips, during which a wew-difined path was said to have. been in the snow; that when the hpnsAvere missed the next morning the tracks of the team in the snowf were easily followed, no other team having been along, and places were fouffd with re Young had i tried to get rid of the hens but bad failed. Young’s answers to the I charge was a complete denial, but the court promptly convicted him and imposed a sentence of $10 and costs and two months in jail. The second complaint was sworn out by City Marshal Harwood and al leged the larceny of five hens from parties unknown and to this charge Young also entered a plea of not guilty. Included in the evidence in troduced was a slip which was found in one of Young’s pockets and which was a record of a sale to Merrill Bros, of this city on Thursday. Young de nied this sale but Eugene Merrill of the firm above mentioned identified the slip and also identified Young as the man of whom he had purchased the poultry. Other evidence which was intro-* duced included two suit cases and an overcoat which the police had found in the room occupied by Young in a house in Gage street place, one of which suit cases contained shorts hags stained with blood and more or less covered with poultry feathers, while the other case also contained shorts bags and a suit, including a cap and a pair of socks, the bags and the inside of the case being smeared ■with blood and feathers, and there were also feathers on the clothing. The overcoat was also daubed In va rious places with poultry droppings. There was also in the latter case a Young admitted that one of the suit cases and the overcoat were his prop erty but denied ail knowledge of the other suit case, but the lady with whom he was boarding at the time of his arrest said that the case in ques tion was her property but that she had loaned it to Young. Young was also found guilty of this charge and was given a similar sentence as in the first case—$10 and costs and two months in jail. He was then arraigned on the charge of vagrancy, to which he pleaded not guilty but was given a sentence of 90 days in Jail. Late in the afternoon he was committed. A singular coincidence in connection with the trial of Young was the pres ence in the court room of the prisoner’s young son Alvah, aged 11 years, who had arrived in Augusta Thursday aft ernoon, having that day walked from j Washington, where he had been giv en a home some time ago, and who had come here, he said, to see Augusta. The boy’s parents separated some years ago, leaving him alone, at which time he was cared for by being placed in the Children’s Home, later being sent to a place in Washington. He was taken back to Washington Friday. The capture of Young by the police was a fine piece of work, as a hen thief is one of the most difficut of crooks to be caught “dead to rights,” as he was. City Marshal Harwood and his officers had been working on the case for three weeks- or.more, plqjting up evidence bit by bit, and for a short time past City Marshal Harwood had had the case well in hand, apd was only awaiting the proper time to nab the man, which time came Thursday.

He arrived Thursday noon and visited a number of places about town and in the eve ning addressed the Board of Trade. He is anxious that Belfast and its re sources be represented and no doubt the citizens of Belfast feel the same. Dr. W. L. West was made chairman of a committee to canvas the business houses and if possible start something. Two daring High school boys caused no little apprehension Thursday by crossing the bay from Belfast to Cas tlne in a canoe.

They arrived safely, however, in spite of some little rough sea when rounding Turtle head, and were on the wharf to greet the school ball team which arrived a few hours later on the launch Louise. They made the trip in about two hours.

CHURCH CONY TRACK TEAM GOES TO WATERVILLE EARLY THIS MORNING To Compete in First Annual! Track Meet of the Kennebec Valley High School Athletic Association Boys Are Con fident The Cony High track team will leave this morning for Waterville to com pete in the first annual track meet of the Kennebec Valley High School Athletic Association, which will be held at 10 A. M. on the Alumni field j of Colby College. There is a general feeling among those who have seen the practice of the Cony team that the Augusta boys should figure prom inently in the meet and while it is not safe to “dope out” the result of a track meet there are a number of events in which the Cony boys feel sure of mak ing points. The members of the Cony team are Captain Turner, Taber, Den-; nis, Wyer, Thyng, Martin and Best. I Perley Turner, captain of the Cony team, is entered in five events and is pected to place in three. He has been doing excellent work in the broad jump and has been showing up finely in both the quarter-mile and half- i mile. Capt. Turner placed in the broad jump at the Bowdoin meet last win ter. George Wyer is entered in the 12- pound shotput and the 220-yard dash. Wyer won the shotput at the Bowdoin meet last winter, making a distance of over 43 feet, and in the trials for the relay team last year he made the fast- j est time, the distance being 220 yards, i Arnold Taber has been on the High school relay team for three years and is a jumper of much ability. He is looked upon to figure prominently in the 100-yard dash, the 220-yard dash 1 and the broad jump. George Dennis has been a member of the High school relay team for! two years and his ability as a foot- ball end makes him a strong candidate, for places in the quarter-mile and the j 100-yard dash. George Martin, who is entered in the half-mile oniy, has been showing good form and as he is entered in no other event will undoubtedly make a fine showing in that event. Klmer Thyng and Fred Best have i been training during the past month for the mile run and are in good con- I dition for the event and it is generally expected that they will be point win- j ners. I The team as a whole is one of the strongest tiiat the school ever turn ed out, four of the seven boys on the team being veterans in track work. Coach Arthur Merrill has been drill ing the team hard for the meet and lie foi ls confident; that the boys will show up strong., in the various events. eighteen teams are eligible to com pete in the meetj'but it is understood that only 10 sckpols are to send I teams. A large contingent of the students of; 1 the High school will accompany the i team to Waterville.

THE LUSITANIA PASSENGERS WARNED BY ADVERTISEMENT FROM THE GERMAN EMBASSY 188 Americans in Passenger List Include A. G. Vanderbilt, Elbert Hubbard and Other Prominent Persons New York, May 7.—When the Lusi tania sailed she had aboard 1251 pas sengers. Some nervousness had been caused because of the publication in the morning papers of Saturday of an advertisement warning intending trav elers that a state of war existed be tween Germany and Great Britain and her allies; that the zone of war includes the waters adjacent to the British Isles; that in accordance with notice given by the German govern ment vessels flying the flag of Great Britain are liable to destruction in those waters and that travelers sail ing in the war zone on ships of Great Britain are liable to destruction at their own risk. The advertisement was signed “Imperial German Em bassy.” Full Passenger List This warning apparently did not cause many cancellations for the ship sailed with a very full passenger list. Just before the steamer’s departure a number of the passengers received telegrams at the pier, signed oy names unknown to them, find pre sumed to be fictitious, advising them not to sail, as the liner was to be tor pedoed by submarines. Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt was one of tho passengers who received such a mess age. He destroyed the message with out comment. Charles P. Sumner, general agent of the Cunard Line, was at the pier, and in a statement made then said that the voyage of the Lusitania would' not be a’ttended by any risk whatever, as the liner had a speed of 25 and a half knots and was provided with unusual watertight bulkheads. In commenting on the report of the torpedoing of the Lusitania today, marine men pointed out that in their opinion the Lusitania could not be Sunk bv a single torpedo. The Lusitania was delayed for more than two hours in sailing for Liver pool last Saturday on account of hav ing to take over the 163 passengers from the Anchor Line Cameronia, which was chartered the last minute by the British admiralty. Charles T. Bowring, head of the firm of Bowring Brothers and president of the St. George's Society, was one of the passengers w-ho sailed on the Lusitania. He commented on the ad vertisement appearing in the morning papers, characterizing it as a silly performance and below the dignity of a diplomatic representative of any foreign government. Alexander Campbell, general mana ger for John Dewar Sons, London, who also sailed, referred to the ad vertisement as “tommyrot.” Other passengers on the Lusitania included Elbert Hubbard, publisher of the Philistine, D. A. Thomas, the wealthy Welch coal operator, and his daughter, Lady Mackworth, the Eng lish suffragette. All these persons took occasion to say that they saw nothing to worry at in the advertisement. It was said at the Cunard offices to day previous to the receipt of the re port of the torpedoing of the Lus itania, that they did not expect the steamer to arrive at Liverpool until Saturday, as recently she had taken seven days to make the trip. 188 Americans There were 188 American passengers in all aboard the Lusitania, according to a compilation made late today at the Cunard olhces. British numbered 956 and other na- tionalities made up the remainder of j the 1251 passengers aboard. LUSITANIAWAS ONE OF LARGEST OCEAN LINERS

The Lusitania was one of the largest i of trans-Atlantic liners, as well as one 1 of the speediest. She was built in Glas- i gow in 1906. She was 7S5 feet long, S8 feet beam, and 60 feet deep. Her gross ton nage was 32,500 and her net tonnage 9145. She was owned by the Cunard Steam ship Co., Limited, of Liverpool. Her captain was W. T. Turner. It was the steamer Lusitania whose flying of the Atperican flag in the month of February on her way from Queens town to Liverpool in order to protect her _ I MEETING AND ELECTION OF OFFICERS BY THE KENNEBEC UNION OF WOMEN’S CLUBS

125 Members Attend the Semi-Annual Meeting Held Friday at Waterville Waterville, Me., May 7.—(Special). —One hundred and twenty-five mem bers of women's clubs belonging to the Kennebec Union of Women’s clubs and representing nine different organizations gathered in the Getch ell street .Free Baptist church, Friday for the semi-annual meeting of the union. Much business of importance was transacted including the addition of an auditor to the staff of officers, and changing the usual May meeting of the union to a meeting of the board of directors of the union, leav ing November as the only general meeting each year of all the clubs. The following officers were also elect ed: Mrs. Harriet Hunton of Oakland, president; Mrs. Annie Fish of Skow hegan, vice vice president; Mrs. Ed win M. Foster of Oakland, secretary, and Mrs. Edith McCallum of Water ville, treasurer. The meeting was called to order at 10.30 by the president, Miss Lucia Connor of Fairfield. A trio of violhi, piano, and ’cello played by the Misses G. Eva Bowie, Rena Barker and Marion Daggett played a selec tion that was heartily encored. Rev. Willis S. Davis, pastor of the church then opened the services formally by the usual prayer. Mrs. Isabelle Knowlton of Fairfield, the secretary, and Mrs. J. J. Newell, treasurer, also of Fairfield read their reports, whicn were accepted by the convention. The president. Miss Connor then made a few brief remarks, appropriate to the occasion and pertaining to the welfare and progress of the clubs. Letter From Mrs. Abbott Mrs. Frederick E. Moore of Water ville, secretary of the Maine Federa tion, read a letter from the president, Mrs. Frederick P. Abbott of Saco, and conveyed the greetings and good wishes of the state federation to the convention. Mrs. F.,E Boothby, also Waterville, gave a very interesting :alk on civic improvement. She took jp especially in the course of her re narks the need and necessity of ichool playgrounds for children, and hat they should be brought into uni versal use more rapidly than they are lowg) She also spoke of her experi ences as a member of the Portland 3oard of Education and favored the granting to women the right to serve in school boards. H. J. Chase, Superintendent of the lardiner schools, who was attending he convention of teachers brought to i be clubs, the greetings of the con- mention and urged that the members >f the clubs, and especially the moth L- ers, co-operate with the teachers in j regulating the morals of the children and the young people. Mrs. F. L. Power Mrs. p. L. Power of Madison, spoke of conservation in club work and sug gested as chairman of the conserva tion committee that a meeting with that object in view be held once a year by each club. She also spoke of the conservation work that is going on at Mt. Desert where a reservation is being made for the preservation if birds. Mrs. Harriet Hunton of Oakland president-elect, and chairman of the home economics committee read a re port of that department, giving some interesting figures as to the number of letters of inquiry received each period about household matters and things pertaining to household economics. Clubs Represented Clubs represented were the Water viHe Woman’s club; the Fairfield Wo man’s club; the Dial club of Fairfield; the Clyonia club of Fairfield; the Past and Present club of Fairfield; the Skowhegan Woman’s club, the Tues day club of Oakland, and the Wom an’s club of Madison. The matter referred to in the first paragraph about changing the usual May meeting to a meeting of the di rectors alone was the next matter taken up, and it was finally decided to meet but once each year as a un ion, and that union to be held in No vember. A nominating committee of tvhich Mrs. Mable Philbrick was the chairman was then appointed, and brought in the slate of officers already mentioned, which were elected unan imously. The retiring officers were Miss Lucia Connor, Fairfield, presi dent, who was presented with a large bouquet of pinks; Mrs. Harriet Hun ton, vice president; Mrs. Isabelle Knowlton, Fairfield, secretary, and Mrs. J. j. NewelL treasurer. The Question Box Mrs. M. W. Bessey who is a former president of the Waterville club then took charge of a question box, which proved one of the most interesting features. Questions that were of in terest to almost everybody were dis cussed pro and con, and much valu able knowledge was “distributed.’’ Miss Mildred Green a student at Colby sang a vocal solo that was much appreciated. The meeting ad lourned about noon, and all the ladies who attended had dinner in the base ment of the church. The afternoon session which resumed about two J’clock was unimportant and lasted >nly a short time. Committee reports ind the routine business, including Inances were all that came before the invention. against possible attack by a German sub marine, caused considerable astonishment on both sides of the .)cean and resulted in the Issuing of a statement by the British foreign office justifying the use of a neutral flag under circumstances such as these. The presence of German submarines oft the southern coast of Ireland and along the line of travel the Lusitania would follow in going to Liverpool was made known in a dispatch from Glasgow last night, which recited that the British steamer Cherbury had been torpedoed in the Atlantic ocean off the Irish coast. Two other vessels were sent to the bot tom more recently, the Centurion and the Candidate. It may be that the sub marines were waiting for the Lusitania and in the meanwhile attacked such oth er vessels as came within their range. The Lusitania was a product of the race for speed which was carridB on for years among trans-Atlantic steamship companies, particularly of England and Germany. When the Lusitania was launched she was the wonder of the mar itime world. Her mastery of the sea, from the standpoint of speed, was undis puted. The progress of the Lusitania on her first voyage to New York was watched by the world. She made the voyage in five days and 54 minutes, at that time the record. Her fastest trip, made in western voyage, was 4 days, 11 hours, 42 minutes. This record, however, was wrested from her subsequently by the Mauretania, her sister ship, built a few months later, which has been in service for the British navy since the war. The Lusitania had accommodations for 550 first class passengers, 500 second class, and 1300 third class. ADMIRAL BERESFORD DECLARES SHORTAGE OF CRUISERS RESPONSIBLE London, May 8.—1.56 A. M.—Ad miral Lord Charles Beresford asked for an expression of opinion regard ing the sinking of the Lusitania said he thought it was due to a shortage of cruisers to protect the trade routes.
