London, May 11.--The giant liner steamship Lusitania was torpedoed by a German submarine twelve miles off the coast of Ireland shortly after two o'clock Friday afternoon. It sank at 2:33. The Cunard officials assert that the attack came without warning. There were on board the Lusitania 1,251 passengers and a crew of 816 The liner and cargo were valued at $10,000,000, on which there was insur­ ance of 17,500,000. The latest information obtainable in­ dicates that 1,100 men, women and children perished in the destruction of the Lusitania by a German subma rine. Of this number 115 were Ameri­ can men, women and children. There were 1,917 persons aboard the ship when the submarine smashed two torpedoes into the starboard side, literally tearing two great sections of the hull in pieces. Few in First Cabin Escape. Tile re were 290 first cabin passen­ gers, of whom 106 were Americans. Only 79 of these have been reported alive.

There were 361 persons in the third clasB, of whom 17 were Americans, and there were 337 in the crew, The death list will be added to be­ cause some of the survivors in the hospitals are not expected to survive the shock of their experiences.

Washington, May 11.--^he first formal comment from the White House on the sinking of the Lusitania was issued in the following state­ ment: "After a conference with the pres­ ident at the White House this eve­ ning Secretary Tumulty said: " 'Of course, the president feels the distress and the gravity of the situa­ tion to the utmost, and is considering very earnestly, but very calmly, the right course of action to pursue. He leaving their trenches. The appari­ tion disappeared after having given her silent warning. The Bergeant afterwards told the following story: His father, he said, was on guard over some trenches during the war of 2870. As he looked in the direction of a farmhouse be saw the figure of a young woman come out and stand in front of the building. He recognized the form as that of the farmer's daughter whom he had helped to bury two days previously. they were in their ofrn feminine ways as natural little reprobates as their brothers, they are careful to forget it as they grow up.

" Defends Sinking of Liner. Berlin, via wireless, May 11.--The following official communication was issued: "The Cunard liner Lusitania was torpedoed by a German submarine and sunk. The Lusitania was armed with guns, as were recently most of the English merchant steamers. More­ over, as is well known here, she had large quantities of war material in her cargo. "Her owners, therefore, knew to what danger the passengers were ex­ posed. They alone bear all the re­ sponsibility for what has happened. Describe 8cenes on Liner. Queenstown, Ireland, May 11.--In four morgues pitiful bodies of victims of the Lusitania wreck are gathered, their limbs drawn and on their faces expressions of fright, of agony, and, strange to say, sometimes of perfect peace. In various places of refuge are oth­ ers, more fortunate, alive, but in near­ ly every" instance dazed by an experi­ ence that has brought many of theft- number to the point of insanity. Clad in rough garments loaned by the townfolk, Mrs. J. S. Burnside, sis­ ter of J. C. Eaton of Toronto, Ont., one of the leading merchants of Canada, sat sobbing pitifully in the crowded office of the Cunard company. She went down with the Lusitania, but was miraculously saved. "I am afraid that I am the only one of our party to survive," she said. "I went down and thought the world had come to an end. Soon I found myself on the surface again clinging to a rope. I cannot swim and 1 was only partially conscious. Finally I grasped the side of a capsized boat and later--I don't know how much later--I was picked up and brought ashore." Two 8aw Torpedoes Coming. Robert Rankin of 116 Schuyler place, Ithaca, N. Y., a mining engi­ neer, said: "I was standing on the deck talking to Thomas Bloom field of New York, a New York insurance agent, and Isaac Lehman, a Canadian, when I saw part of a conning tower and periscope of a submarine. I exclaimed: 'That looks like a torpedo.' Bloomfleld said: 'My God! It is a torpedo.' Almost before he had the words out of his mouth an explosion followed. "The vessel was deluged with blaok smoke and a rain of debris fell about us. I jumped overboard and swam to starboard. There I was picked up." One of the most dramatic stories told was that of Fred J. Gauntless of Washington. "I saw the first boat launched over the port side of the steamer Lusitania. It was filled with women and little children. It was dashed to pieces against the listing side of the ship Just before the davits could be cast loose. These women and little children were drowned before my very eyes." She raised her arms and pointed towards the German encampment. "The same thing happened as last night," said the sergeant. "So when I looked at that figure I at once remem­ bered the experience of my father, and had no hesitation in going ofT to see what the Germans were doing, for I was sure the figure meant us to go to the attack. "I also find that it was that very farmhouse, and the figure we saw was the farmer's daughter who died in 1870." business ill to chart and ligiit the road' with all the knowledge she can command knowledge gathered first from a study of her own mer.tal ex­ periences.

Washington, May 11.--An attempt to Assassinate Roquc Gonzales Garza, the convention provisional president of Mexico, was made by troops led by General Barona, former military com­ mander of Mexico City, according to dispatches reaching here from the Mexican capital. Baroaa's troops were repulsed after severe fighting, with losses to both sides. According to the report, the attack on the residence of President Garza began at three o'clock in the rooming. The troops of General Garza met those of General Barona along the Alameda and serious fighting ensued. When General Barona's .forces retreated they left thirteen dead and two wounded, while two of /General Garza's soldiers were killed. One of the latter was General Estrada. San Antonio, Texas, May 11.--Fifty persons were killed in disorders in Mexico City, which began as the re­ sult of a brawl between .rival Mexican generals at a dance, according to a telegram received from Vera Cruz.

TEUTONS TAKE TARN0W { ? » RUSSIANS OUT OF HUNGARY Austrian Troops In Pursuit Have Crossed Frontier and Carpathian Ridge, Says Vienna Report. ^ London, May 11.--The last of the Russians have been driven out of Hun­ gary according to the Austrian offi­ cial report. Austrian troopB in pur­ suit have crossed the frontier and the Carpathian ridge. Desperate fighting continues in western Galicla and, according to Vienna, the Russians are being forced back along a front of more than 125 miles from the Vistula to the Uzsok pass. East of Uzsok pass violent battles also are developing. Here, Vienna claims, the Russians have been ifriven across the Dniester, 3,500 of the czar's forces falling into the hands of the Teutons. -Official admission is made by Pe- trograd of the fall of Libau to land forces under General von Hindenburg with co-operation by German naval forces. DUKLA PA8S IS ALSO CAPTURED, VIENNA CLAIMS. i i - . i - , * German OWemifve Ti Maintained Frttitb ' the Baltic to Roumania and In France and Belgium. London, May 8.--The Germans, in consort with their Austrian allies, are putting forth an effort the extent of which has never been approached in the history of war. Throughout virtually* the whole length of the eastern front they aro engaged With the Russians, while in the West, in addition to their attacks around Ypres, they are on the offensive at many points. At other jwrfnts they are being attacked by the French, British and Belgians. Far «p in the Russian Baltic prov­ inces, heretofore untouched by the war. the Germans are attempting to advance toward Libau and Riga; on the East Prussian frontier they are engaged in a series of battles, and with a big gun are bombarding at long range, as they .did at Dunkirk, the Russian fortress of Grondno, in Cen­ tral Poland they have had to defend themselves against a Russian attack: In western Galicla they are attempting with all their strength to smash the Russian flank and compel the Rus­ sian^ to abandon the Carpathian passes, which they gained at such cost during the winter. In this western Galicla battle the Germans claim to have made a still greater advance and tQ have crossed the Wisloka river, which is well to the east of the Dunajec river, which un­ til a few days ago formed a part of the Russian front, and to have put their hands firmly on Dukla pass. The Aus- trians announce the capture of Tar- now. In conjunction with this attack from the west the Austrians are attempting to drive the Russians from Lupkow pass, farther to the east, and with suc­ cess, according to the German account. In all, the Germans claim to have tak­ en 40,000 Russian prisoners since the offensive was undertaken last Satur­ day night. The Austrians put the number at more than 50,000 and ex­ press the belief that the whole Rus­ sian Third army will be de­ stroyed. These reports show that the Austro- German blow is meeting with the greatest success on the northern sjopes of the western Carpathians, for toward the Upper Vistula the Russians appear to be in their Old posi­ tions. Despite the claims of the Austrians and Germans, the Russian representa­ tives in the European capitals reiter­ ate that the victory has been greatly exaggerated, and the public is waiting to hear what Grand Duke Nicholas, commander in chief of the Ru»slan forces, has to say about it. REJECTS TEUTON SUGGESTION Text of American Note to German Foreign, Office on Sinking of Frye Made Public. Washington. May 7.-->The Btate de­ partment made public on Wednesday the text of the American note of April 28 to the German foreign office on the sinking of the American ship William P. Frye by the raider Prinz Eitel Friedrich. The Uolted States govern­ ment rejects the German suggestion that the legality of the capture and de- struction of the ship and the question of the payment and amount of In­ demnity be submitted to a prize court. It proposes that the matter be settled by diplomatic negotiations, pointing out that the question of liability on toe part of Germany already has been ad­ mitted and that the status of the claim­ ants and the amount of the indemnity are the only «uestlona remaining to be settled. FLASHES OFF THE WIRE BATTLE IS ON FOR LILLE French Capture Three Towns and Ad­ vance Three Miles, While the Germans Fight the British. London, May 10.--Taking advantage of the fact that the Germans are de­ voting all their efforts to the desper­ ate effort to capture Ypres and drive the British back in Belgium, the French have launched a vigorous campaign for the recapture of Lille, which beautiful city, the pride of northern Franch, has been held by the Germans ever since their first sweep through France last August, The villages of La Targette and half of the town of Neuville St. Vaast were captured, according to French official communique, and the advance in some places was as great as three miles.

PLEADS FORII.S.FIRST PRESIDENT WILSON DELIVERS SPEECH TO 4,000 ALIEN-BORN AT PHILADELPHIA. ASKS FOR UNITED COUNTRY Wilson Places Humanity Above All and Asserts That Peace Is a Healing and ElSvatlng- Influence. Philadelphia, May 12.--President Wilson gave to a gathering of 4,000 naturalized Americans on Monday night the first intimation of what course the United States government will pursue in the situation resulting from the loss of more than 100 Ameri­ can lives on the Lusitania. He spoke by implication, but his hearers interpreted his remarks as meaning that while the United States would remain at peace it would seek to convince Germany of the injustice to mankind of the tragedy of last Friday. "Amerifca," said the president, "must have the consciousness that on all sides it touches elbows and touches heart with all nations of mankind. The example' of America must be a special example, and must be an ex­ ample not merely of peace because it will not fight, but because peace is a healing and elevating influence of the world, and strife is not. "There is such a thing as a man be­ ing too proud to fight. There is such a thing as being so right that it doee not need to convince others by force that it is right." These remarks precipitated a tu­ mult of applause and patriotic en­ thusiasm, attended by a waving of thousands of small American flags. The president made no direct refer­ ence to the Lusitania tragedy, but the audience did not hesitate to read the application of his statement. Introduced by Mayor Blankenburg, who spoke in distinctly German ac­ cent, a welcome and appeal for a sin­ gle allegiance to the United States, the president carried forward the idea of the welding of foreign blood in the makeup of America by pointing out the true goal of right American citi­ zenship to be a loyalty 'not to the country of one's birth but to the land of one's adoption. "While you bring," he said, '"all countries with you, you come with a purpose of leaving all other countries behind you--bringing what is best of their spirit, but not looking over your shoulder or seeking to perpetuate what you leave in them. I would not certainly be one who would suggest that a man cease to love the place ol his origin. "It is one thing to lo\\e the place where you were born and another thing to dedicate yourself to the place where you go. You can't be an Amer­ ican if you think of yourself in groups. America does not consist of groups. A man who considers himself as be­ longing to a national group is not yet an American. "My advice to you is to think first not only of America but to think first of humanity, and you do not love hu­ manity if you seek to divide humanity in jealous camps." Some of the passages in his speech which the crowd applauded most loud­ ly were these: "I am sorry for the man who seeks to make personal capital ou£ of the passions of his fellow man. "He has lost the touch and ideal of America, for America was created to unite mankind by the passions that lift and unite and not by the passions that separate and debase mankind. "The man who seeks to divide man from man, group from group, Interest from interest in the United States is striking at its very heart. "I was born in America. You dreamed of what America was to be, and I hope you brought the dreams with you. No man who does not Bee visions will ever realize any high hopes or undertake any great enter­ prise." There was a tremendous ovation as the president finished his speech. Because of the present status of in­ ternational affairs, extraordinary pre­ cautions had been taken to guard the president during his stay in Philadel­ phia. Seven hundred and fifty police­ men had been detailed for this duty. On his return trip from the hall the president rode for three miles along streets almost solidly lined with cheer­ ing people. Frequently he raised his hat and bowed. Automobile horns sounded a steady chorus. In the Broad street station of the Pennsyl­ vania railroad several thousand peo­ ple cheered as the president stepped aboard his private car. He smiled and waved his hat to them. Soon after­ ward the president retired. In introducing the president Mayor Blankenburg said: "I present to you--God bless him-- the president." France's Wheat 8upply.

Mirrors Protect Bank Vaults. In coifetructing a vault in the base­ ment of one of the Los Angelas banks, a plan has been followed whicn makes the six sides of the chamber visible to a watchman and eliminates all chances of its being entered by tunneling be­ neath it. It is feet on concrete columne in the middle of a white-tiled pit which is brightly illuminated. To make it possible to command a view of the space beneath the vault, from the level above, mirrors have been arranged on the floor at such an angle that every part of the space is re­ flected in them. Light is reflected by the white walls so that the top of thjs vault is illuminated and easily in­ spected. His Bid.
