ll I IIM.D Slltt' S SIN KINO.
London, I'lnglaud. The Cunard
li.io steamship Liisitania. which vvaf
sunk last week oil Hd liead of Kill
sale by a submarine was struck by
only one torpedo, according to the
testimony of Captain Turner of the*
steamer, given at the coroner's in
quest al Kinsaie Hut this deadlv
missile found a vital spot and sent
the liner to ihe bottom in less than
i:ti tnlmnuies, carrying will, her ovei
1,'inn persons.
It was also disclosed, today by Cap
tain Turner, and by Winslon Spencer
Churchill, lirst lord nf the admiralty
in a statement in the bouse of com
mor.s, that tile captain bad received
wireless advices from the admiraltv
in regard to the liner's course. Cap
tain Turner in his testimony said
be bad followed this advice "lo tin
of ii,v ability." The iharaciei
of the advice tendered by the admir
alty wtis not divulged and will not
be until Lord Nursey opens his in
quiry it no tlie loss of the ship.
Internal Kvpicslon Also'.'
Meanwhile the cause for the' heavy
loss of life and ihe absence of linvai
escort for the threatened vessel and
Ihe suddenness wilh which she sank
afford room for much speculation.
Captain Turner, declaring that one
torpedo did all the damage, said the
second explosion which the passen
gers heard was an internal one and
that the engines have been put out
of commission, it was impossible to
slop the l.usliaiiia and permit the
boats being lowered properly.
This idea of an inter.tal explosion
is supported by naval experts, who
point out that if the torpedo would
only have been disabled or had om
or two of her compartments flooded.
II is evident, however, I hey say, that
if tlie torpedo penetrated the hull
and Iho (liarge of -1-0 pounds
explosive was detonated, it would
have created mi effect similar to the
explosion of a magazine within r.
ship. There is little wonder, there
fore, the.v say, that Ihe Liisitania
sank so rapidly or (lut so many per
sops were killed by the funics of Ihe
explosive.
On be question of why no naval
escort aieompanicd the Liisitania.
.Mr. Churchill explained in the house
of commons that the policy of Ilu
admiral! is that merchant men
should look afler themselves. This
policy was due to ihe fact that,flu
admiralty had not sufficient destroy
ers to escort all merchant ships, tho:
being required to guard tlie continu
ous stream of transports from Kag
land to l'"ranee and to protect tlie
Knglisii coast from Ceiman raids
Naval (diservers are of the opinion
lhal the use of destroyers for tin
proteetion of shipping is probabl.v
what the Cerinnus are trying lo force
Knglnnd to do,'hut they say lhal the
admiralty, with its eye first on the
naval and the! military needs of the
country, will not divert its ships for
other purposes. Some of Hie mem
bers of the house of commons, how
ever, express the belief that a steam
er that is particularly threatened
with the destruction should be es
pecially protected and that Hie mai
ler of convoys doubtless will be fur
ther discussed in parliament.
Ili'itish .Are Augend.
All this discussion, however iias
not lessened the anger ot the people
the action of Germany which le-
at
sulled in the loss of so many lives of
non-combatants. Throughout the
country this anger has found expres
sion in many ways. In some towns
where there are considerable t!er
inan population, rioting has occured,
while more staid liusiness men have
decided to exclude all men of enemy
countries and even naturalized Brit
ishers of German descent from the
exchanges of the country.
Another effect, of the sinking of
tlie Liisitania has been to boom ro
eruiling. I'l very recruiting office re
ported today that, more men had pre
sented themselves for service than
for weeks past. The main hall of
the chief recruiting office in London
was crowded all day with men wait
ing for medical examination.
The boom also was helped by a
Herman air raid on South lind and
the vicinity early yesterday. Alto
gether the airmen dropped J2o
bombs, but strongly only two deaths
resulted. An old woman was killed
in her bed and her husband, who had
alempled to rescue her, died from
injuries received in jumping from a
window. The material damage caus
ed by the (ire started by the bombs
is estimated at $50,Olio
