LUSITANIA TORPEDOED
BY GERMAN TREACHERY
Over 1,000 on Board and Possibly
Not More than 500 are Saved.
The Cunard Steamship Oompanye
liner Lusitania was torpedoed at 2
o'clock on Friday morning off Kinsale,
Ireland and went to the bottom 30
minutes later, Many prominent Ameri-
cansand Canadians ace unaccounted
for. A number were badly injured
when the liner was torpedoed and
rnany died in hospitals after being
brought to shore.
The United States Government have
directed Ambassador Gerard to make
inquiry of the German government
for its report concerning the sinking
of the Lusitania. We think. it is high
time that President Wilson and the
United States Government would do
something.
The Lusitania was one of the largest
of transatlantic liners, as well as one
of the speediest. She was built in
Glasgow in 1906. She was 785 feet
long, 88 feet beam and 60 feet deep.
Her gross tonnage was 32,500 and her
net tonnage 9,145. She was owned
by the Cunard Steamship Company
Ltd. of Liverpool. Her Captain was
W. le Turner. She coat aboet $7,500,.
000 to build.
The Lusitania and her sister, the
Mauretania, were built under British
subsidy for the purpose of wresting
from Germany the speed record across
the Atlantic. Their entry into the
transatlantic passenger service was
Great Britain's final challenge to
German overseas supremacy.
The sinking of the Lusitania was
not necessary to prove what was
already abundantly demonstrated -
that there re no length of vindictive.
nese to which Germany will not go.

St. Paul's Church.
On Sunday last, Rogation Sunday,
the services at Morning Prayer in St.
Paul's were partly of a memorial
nature for the gallant Canadians who
fell in the recent battles in Flanders,
and especially for the late Mr. Edward
Murch, a member of the congregation,
who gave up his life in the full bloom
of early manhood in defense of his
country and king. And juet here we
might mention that this congregation
is very proud of the fact that a large
proportion of those who left Wing -
ham for the front are members or
adherents of this Church. The rector
took as his text "Be ye faithful unto
death and I will give you a crown of
life," and in a concise and dignified
manner spoke of the faithfulness and
exalted courage of the brave Canadian
troops who rose to the occasion and,
when the French regiments were al-
most annihilated, gallantly charged
the enemy with a cheer on their lige
and faith in their hearts, knowing it
meant almost certain death to every
man, and thus saved Calais, and what
may be, the very Empire itself, for
had the Germans won the way to
Calais, what? The speaker mentioned
the wonderful services conducted by
our great Bishop of London at the
front where the mud spattered and
battleworn soldiers came from, the
trenches• and kneeling before him,
received the hely rite of Confirmation
and the Holy Communion.; the beauti-
ful services of the Church conducted
by the bishop in barns attended by
large numbers. From their noble
example we should learn to be faithful
and heroic also in all things, especial-
ly to the King of Kings by attending
the means of grace and by self-denial
show true heroism in the Christian
Iife, Surely, the preacher asked, it
was not necessary that We should hear
the sound of shot and shell and see
blood flawing in our fair land to make
us realize that the way to eternal life
is not along the primrose path of self-
indulgence. The service closed with
the wonderful hymn "On the Resur-
rection Morning," with its message of
life and immortality with those we
love beyond the grave. The "dead
march in Saul" was played by Mr.
Willis as a recessional.
This (Thursday) being Ascension

Holy Communion at 10.20 a m., and

MO COLBORNE MURDER
IS STILL A MYSTERY
Murderer of Robert Bean not Yet
Apprehended. Inquest Again
Adjourned.
The murder of Robert Bean, of Col-
borne township, on the night of April
25111, is still wrapped in mystery,. In-
epector Reburn and the local consta-
bles have been busy running down
possible clues, and appear to be work.
ing on a pretty definite line, but they
are not yet ready to show their hand.
At yesterday's sitting of the coron-
er's jury nothing of a startling nature.
developed. David Bean, the youngest
son of the family, was put through a
long and close queetionning, and it
came out that he had been twice
warned by 1oepector Reburn that it
was imporraut f.,r him that he should
find the man who he says was his
companion on the trip to Goderich on
the fatal evening. The young man on
Saturday last had bills printed offer-
ing a reward of $50 for the appearance
of this man, and a notice to the same
effect ie being published in the news-
papers of the district this week.
Contrary' to rumor, the gun with
which the deed was committed has
not been found.
The inquest was resumed on Mon-
day evening at thl township hall,
Carlow, but only a short session was
held. The evidence of Doctors Gallow
and Emmerson, who conducted the
postmortem examination of the body
of the murdered man, was taken, an
adjournment was then made to Wed-
nesday afternoon.
Dr. Galiow read a statement of the
result of the autopsy, and afterwards
replied to some questions from Crown
Attorney Seager, Dr. Emmerson
concurred in Dr. Gallow's evidence.
Their testimony established the facts
as to the nature of the wound as stat-
ed in The Signal last week. The fatal
wound was from the back, under the
left ehoulderblade, in an upward direc-
tion to the point of emergence under
the collarbone. The person firing the
charge was evidently standing on the
ground the wound being at an angle
of about forty.five degrees.
Yesterday afternoon from 2 to 6
o'clock an effort was made to eecure
some further light nn the mystery,
but without any defiinite result.
Grown Attorney Seager had twenty-
three witnesses on his list, but only
eleven of these were heard during th e
afternoon, and proceedings were fur-
ther adjourned until Wednesday after-
noon next at 2 o'clock.
The township ball was packed both
on Monday and on Wednesday. Old
residents of the township say it ie the
first time the old building has ever
been used for such a purposes.
Dr. Hunter presided as coroner.
Crown Attorney Seager conducted the
main erquiry and Mr. M. G. Cameron,
K. C., appeared in the interests of the
family of the late Mr. Bean. Inspec-
tor Reburn and High Constable
Whiteside were on hand to assist the
Crown Attorney. The witnesses were
excluded from the hall, being detained
at the hotel until they were wanted.
important Telephone Decision.
William Mann, a prominent farmer
of Standford township appealed to
the Ontario Railway and Municipal
Board, in session in Woodstock, to
compel the Ionerkip Rural Telephone
Company to install the phone service
for which Mann has made constant
but vain demands, according to his
statement, for two years past. Presi-
dent Hoseack and Secretary Hudson,
for the telephone corporation, demur-
red to his request, on the grounds
that his house was too far from the
nearest phone using neighbor to
warrant the installation.
Vice Chairman Ingram told the
telephone petal la that they might
have ten days to reach an equitable
arrangement with Mann by which he
shall be provided with the service for
which he aPPea e.
Failing this, the
board will then issue an order
requiting the demanded telephone to
be installed forthwith. Mr. Ingram
added the comment, evoked by a
retrial from Secretary Hudson, that
if the company could show its present
rate of $12 a year to be too law to be
profitable, the board would authorize
an increased rate.

Communications
Wingham, May 10, 1915
Dear Editor -A few paeeing thoughts
that I hope will not be taken amiss.
In my humble op in ion I do
not think there is a more loyal town
or community in our far Dominion
than our own town of Wingham.
No where has the call for recruits been
more spontaneously met and on the
field of battle they have preyed their
mettle.
I wish to direct the attention of the
people of Wingham to a little incident
that occurred on our rdaid street,
A young soldier returning Co visit
friends was cat called by a bunch of
young men with "right, left, tight,
left", and he told me he was undecided
upon going back but not wishing to
make an exhibition on the main street
he let the matter pass. By way of
information, I am sure it will afford
much pleasure to these young men
who have a lot tolearn that the said
private who only stands 5 ft. •11 itis.
in his socks is considered one of the
best men with the mitts in the 88,81
Batt., is ono of the 250 draft who are
leaving at once for the trenches.
When you meet a mean in uniform
do not give him the icy stare; meet
him with a emile, put out an out•
stretched hand, slap him on the Lack,
and say "say boy I'm proud of you,"
kind words will be strength in the
dark house.
I was speaking to a traveller this
afternoon who was very much touched
by a little demonstration witnessed in
Clinton this morning when several of
her boys were escorted to the station
by the band and several hundred
citizens. The music was lively, the
cheering continuous as the train pulled
out amid the waving of hats and
handkerchiefs, and the boys departed
high hearted.
Moral -Respect the uniform, pass
thefbwers now.
