GENEVA, Switzerland, May S.?The
oontonal authorities in the cantons of
Berne, Zurich, Geneva and Lucerne
have Issued orders that In the future
no official German telegrams shall be
posted In public hotels In these can
tons.
The Swiss federal authorities have
taken no action against this giving out
of German news. The measures are
confined entirely to the local adminis
trations.
300 MORE CANADIANS
FALL ON BATTLE LINE
OTTAWA. Ontario, May 8.?Name* of
more than three hundred members of
the Canadian contingent serving In
France were contained In a casualty
list Issued by the militia department
today. Included in the list were the
names of many missing soldiers of the
X4th Battalion, believed to be captured
by the Germans.
TWO VIEWS OF BIG LINER SENT TO BOTTOM BY GERMAN TORPEDO.
MORE THAN 1,300 MISSING
OF THOSE ON LUSITANIA
(Continued from FMrst Pasf >
from Cork stating that forty-five more survivors from the Lusitania
I have been landed at Queenstown from a drifter.
SLENDER HOPE OF OTHER RESCUES.
Of those who were saved, 595 were landed at Queenstown, and
eleven at Kinsale, while fifty-two others are reported to be aboard a
steamer.
All but one of the rescue fleet of torpedo boats, tugs and trawlers,
which went out from Queenstown have reported. There is a slender
hope that fishing boats may have recued a few more.
SCORES OF BODIES LANDED.
In addition to the living brought ashore the bodies of 124
who died of injuries or were drowned, have been landed at Queens
town. Five more are at Kinsale, and it has been reported that an
armed trawler, accompanied by two fishing boats, has picked up
100 others.
The work of compiling a list of those saved is progressing
slowly because of the indescribable confusion at Queenstown, but
apparently few of the first-cabin passengers are among the survivors.
FIFTY-ONE AMERICANS SAVED.
The United States consul at that port can account for only fifty
one Americans saved out of 188 who were aboard.
His roll does not include the names of Alfred Gwyne Vanderbilt,
Charles Frohman, Elbert Hubbard, Justus Miles Forman, the author,
or Charles Klein, the playwright.
Mr. Vanderbilt apparently perished, according to a message to
Ambassador Page from the United States consul at Queenstown.
Of the Americans aboard, 106 were in the first cabin; 65 in the
second, and 17 in the steerage.
A number of survivors have been landed by fishing boats on
Sovereign Island, in the vicinity of Galleyhead. Many are in a se
rious condition, and it is feared that some will not survive.
CARING FOR THE INJURED.
The following message has been received by the Cunard Steam
ship Company from its offices at Queenstown:
"The Stormcock has landed about 160 passengers and crew. The
trawlers Cock and Indian Empire have on board about 200; the tug
Flying Fish about 100; three torpedo boats 45 and four dead.
"We are putting up those landed at hotels and boarding houses,
but cannot give a list of survivors for some time, as the passengers
are in such a state that their immediate wants must be given first
consideration."
LIST OF LUSITANIA PREVENTED
LAUNCHING OF ALL HER BOATS
QUEENSTOWN, via London, May 8, 10:26 a.m. -The various
craft that yesterday afternoon went out from here to the scene of the
Lusitania disaster returned to Queenstown last night and early this
morning. All of them brought survivors in greater or lessor number.
It is now estimated here that 600 will be the outside number of
those saved. No trace has been found here of either Alfred G. Van
derbilt or Charles Frohman.
124 DEAD AT QUEENSTOWN.
'1 he latest rescue boats to arrive are bringing mostly bodies of
the dead picked up from the water at the scene of the disaster. The
dead now here number 124, and many of them are women.
The naval and military authorities of Queenstown are rendering
every assistance possible in the removal of the dead and in assisting
the injured to hospitals. The manager of the Cunard line has taken
ample hotel accommodation as well as rooms in lodging houses, and
here the survivors are being sent. Queenstown has never witnessed
such a scene before.
The dead are being conveyed to morgues and undertaking estab
lishments, and numbers of motor cars have been brought into serv
ice to take the injured to hospitals. The less serious injured are be
ing helped ashore by sailors and soldiers.
SURVIVORS HAUNT THE DOCKS.
Roth men and women rescued, if they are able to walk, refuse to
remain in their hotels. They haunt the docks, waiting and watching
for friends and relatives. Many of the survivors are still bewildered
from their terrible experiences, and their accounts of the sinking of
| the Lusitania are not entirely clear. It is to be noted, however, that
| one and all unite in eulogizing the manner in which the ship's officers
? behaved.
Five minutes after the Lusitania was hit with the second torpedo
. amidships she had listed to such an extent that the lifeboats on one
side could not be launched at all.
The work of getting as many people as possible, for the most
part women and children, into the only boats that could be got clear
was at once undertaken by the captain and officers and men of the
Lusitania, and performed efficiently and with heroism.
BATTLE FOR LIFE IN SEA.
The scene as the big liner went down is described bv the survi
I vors as heartrending beyond words. Rattling for life, the passengers
' called to relatives and friends or bade each other good-bye.
The small boats which had got away from the side of the liner
j picked up a good many survivors, who, with life belts or clinging
| to wreckage, were floating on the surface of the water. Rut soon
the boats all were crowded.
These boats were in turn picked up by rescuing steamers com
ing at full speed from shore points, but in many cases four and more
j hours elapsed before the rescuers reached the scene. Tn manv cases
the only work left for the rescue workers to do was to collect from
! the water the floating bodies of the dead. Several passengers were
taken aboard trawlers, severely injured, only to die before they could
be transferred ashore.
'heavy first cabin loss due
! TO CONFIDENCE IN THE SHIP
LONDON, May 8.?The heavy loss of life among the Lusitania's
first cabin passengers is believed to have been due to the calmness
and self-possession they displayed in face of danger. Most of them
were at luncheon when the vessel received her death blow and de
clined to join the rush for the boats and life belts.
They believed the Cunarder would remain afloat until assistance
could arrive. A considerable proportion of those at Queenstown are
members of the crew, including Capt. Turner, with the first and
second officers. All the other officers are believed to have perished.
RULE OF SEA OBSERVED.
There is no evidence, however, that the time-honored rule of the
sea, "women and children first," was violated. At least one of the
survivors, a Toronto newspaper man, gives evidence that there was
no panic among the crew and that the sailors acted promptly in get
ting the passengers into the ship's boats.
Apparently every precaution had been taken against a surprise
attack by a submarine. Lookouts were on the alert constantly as the
giant steamship speeded toward the Irish coast. Difficulty was ex
perienced in launching the boats bacause of the heavy list of the
Lusitania almost immediately after she was torpedoed. Several of
the frail craft evidently capsized as they were launched or soon
afterward.
SAVED BY LIFE BELTS.
Many of the passengers owed their rescue to life belts, which
kept them afloat until they were picked up by boats. Among this
number was Lady Mackvvorth, daughter of David A. Thomas, the
Welsh coal king, and Julian de Ayala, Cuban consul general at Liver
pool.
Investigation has failed to reveal that the steamer was given
warning of the proposed attack by the submarine, which appears
to have been lurking off the Irish coast bent upon destroying the
largest and fastest ship engaged in transatlantic traffic.
The lookouts sighted the periscope of a submarine a thousand i
yards awav, and the next instant thcv saw the trail left by a torpedo
as it flashed on its course.
I hen came a terrific crash as the missile pierced the liner's side,
followed almost immediately by another which littered the decks
with wreckage. The course of the liner was at once turned toward
shore.
FOUR TORPEDOES FIRED.
l our torpedoes apparently were fired at the Lusitania, but only
two of them found their mark. The loss of life caused bv the tor
pedoes themselves and the explosions they caused mu?t have been
terribly heavy.
1 he tragic freight of bodies taken to Queenstown bears evi
dence of the havoc wrought. Many of those taken ashore were
seriously injured, and more than a score died after they were re
moved to Cork and Queenstown hospitals. A long line of stretcher
bearers marched from the piers as tugs and trawlers arrived. The
people of the Irish city opened their homes to those who had been
saved and everything possiblo is being done for their comfort.
Probably no event of the war has caused such intense excitenu in
in London as the sinking of the Lusitania. Enormous crowds su:
rounded the offices of the Cunard line all night, scanning anxiott
the bullnins received from Queenstown. The company announced
that an accurate list of survivors would be compiled as specdilv a
possible, but that the immediate needs of those saved were being
given first attention. The press of London expresses intense indij
nation at the trasredv.
MANY PROMINENT AMERICANS
AMONG LUSITANIA'S MISSING
NEW ^ ORK, May 8.?Many persons notable in the business . >r
social life of New York city were among those whose names were
missing from the list of survivors of the Lusitania made public
the line here and at Queenstown.
Of those not reported as being saved Alfred Ci. Yanderbilt is one
of the most widely known. Inheriting the bulk of the estate of his
father, estimated at $70,000,000 to $100,000,000. he is one of the ni"St
wealthy men of Xew York, Mrs. Yanderbilt at her home here was
trying to obtain any news that might show that her husband was
saved.
ELBERT HUBBARD MISSING.
Elbert Hubbard, editor of the Philistine, author of cssavs and
publisher at East Aurora, N. Y.? is known throughout the country
as ''Fra Elbertus." He intended to conduct an investigation of the
war and was accompanied by Mrs. Hubbard.
Charles Frohman, theatrical manager and producer, whose name
had not been included among the survivors, was another passenger.
He was accompanied by Justus Forman, playwright and author.

sistance of Americans in the enterprise, and purchased the explor
ing ship Discovery for the purpose. The fruition of the expedition
was delayed by the war.
NEWPORT NEWS MAN MISSING.
Dr. F. S. Pearson, a well known American engineer, also one "6
the Lusitania's passengers, was associated with Commander Stack -
house as one of the backers of the expedition. Dr. Pearson, who
was accompanied by his wife, was well known in New York as a

publishing firm of H. S. Stone & Co., and the founder and editor of
the Chap Book and the House Beautiful, two successful magazines.
Voices Sympathy for Friends of
Americans "Murdered by Ger
man Submarines."
LIVERPOOL, May S, 1:52 p.m.?Alfred
Booth, manager-director of the Cunard
Steamship Company, made the follow
ing: statement today:
"I desire to send my heartfelt sym
pathy, wherein all the Cunard directors
and managers join, to relatives and
friends of the American passengers
murdered by the German ?ubmarines.
"I am certain the whole civilized
world is at one in grief for the sorrow
and suffering caused, and in loathing
for this treacherous attack on innocent
lives, so many of whom were womeq
and children.
"Every possible step is being taken
to relieve the immediate wants of th?j
survivors at Queenstown after their
terrible experience."
Mr. Merchant
If you bay advertising space simply by what it
costs you can get plenty of it at lower rates than The
Star's. But if you buy based on circulation and the
results produced, the rates of The Star are the lowest
in Washington or any place else that we know of.
This is the reason that The Star frequently carries
more advertising than all of the other Washington
papers combined.
