?Webster, a Toronto contractor, who
was travelliug with his wife, their

the torpedo struck. Webster took
his son by the hand and darted away
to bring life belts. When he return-

Philadelphia, . May 11—President
;Wilson talked "peace" last night in
an address which was clearly de-
signed to 'est out the sentiment of
the United States regarding the ac-

newly naturalized citizens contained
no reference to the tide of. anger
[which has stirred the nation through
the loss of American lives.. "There
is such a thing as being too proud
to fight"' said the President. "A
nation may be so right that 1t does
oot need to convince others by force
that it is right. Peace is the healing
and elevating influence of the world,".

President did not grasp the occasion

DERNBURG IS IMPUDENT
Lerlin Exults—Wilson Says Nothing
and Roosevelt Demands Action
New York, May 10—Dr. Bernh-rd
Dernburg, the Kaiser's spokesman,
said last night that the sinking of the
Lusitania would be followed by the
destruction of other British ships
whethere' or not there are Americans
aboard. The American iiag would af-
ford not the slightest protection far
vessels which carried cargo that the
Germans regarded contraband. Dr.
Dernburg said in part: "Any ship car-
rying goods to Great Britain is to be
sunk. England has rut off Germany
from the outside world and we intend
to isolate her so that all communi-
cation with other parts of tlto earth
will be impossible. There were
6,000 cases of war material for the
allies on the Lusitania. If these had
reached the allies many more than
150 of our people might have been
killed. The Americans have always
been friendly to Germany and we
event to mrintain their friendship, gut
a submarine is only 150 feet long and
is unable to take off passengers. A
submarine can be rammed at any
moment and if the Lusitania had
been warned she could have run
away. We will stop our submarine
warfare providing England stops her
policy of starvation. Germany is"will-
hng to maintain the Hague conven-
tion rules. We want cottcn and all
foodstuffs. Give us an open sea and
no such thing as happened to the
Lusitania will happen again,"
"Deserved"
London, May 10—The Exchange
Telegraph Company hears that Berlin
newspapers print the news of the
sinking of the Lusitanla in colossal
(type and hail the successful torpedo-
ing of the ship as a new triumph for
Uermany's naval policy, the general
impression being that Britain has got
what she deserves.
Tempting to War
t. Washington, May 10—President Wil-
don passed Sunday in gloomy soli-
tude, revolving in his mind what ac-
tion to take against Germany for the
destruction of the steamship Lusi-
tania and a long list of American
lives. He eecognizes that the respon-
sibility is his alone. He will decide
and later consult his cabinet. All
officials believe that the President
is preparing to tell Germany in
Phrases which will become historic
'that she must abandon her attacks
;or bt denounced as an outlaw. The
breaking off of diplomatic relations
th Germany is regarded as the moat
ikely course if the President decides
rastic measures are necessary.
This
'would not necessarily mean. war.
Official Washington has taken pote
lof the communication issued by the
German foreign office affirming that
'the Lusitania was armed and that,
the owners "alone must bear all the
responsibility." Both propositions are
categorically denied gy officials -of
this government. Officials think Ger-
many reasoned that this country
could not prosecute a campaign suc-
cessfully in Europe and therefore the
:only effect of a declaration of war
would be .to give Germany entire free-
dom to attack all ships going frons
the United States laden with supplies
;for the allies.

IN A HORRIBLE TRAP

Established—Survivors' Stories
Queenstown, May 10—Passengers
rescued from the Lusitania are agreed
on the following cardinal' facts of 'chs
disaster. The. Lusitania` was-'strnck "
by two torpedoes,. She: was struck a;
exa0tly 2.15 o'clock and sank at 2,30.
They show the watches that stopped
exactly' at 2.30 when their owner::

About ten minutes past two who

which they could either get in a boa,
or plunge into the water. Many o.
those who came on the upper decks
were pitched precipitately into the
sea by the ship's motion. Some of
those who came nearest to the boats
and apparent safety were crushed
and maimed as the lifeboats swung
in against the side of the vessel.
Those who survived strive to blot
from their minds the cruel picture
of the sinking itself. They tell you
that there was no panic; that there
was absolute calm; that the conduct
of the women was splendid and of
the men all that became :nen. The
cries of the women as the ship went
down seemed to be the thing that
held the foremost place in the mind}

screaming; .t was just a long wailing
cry of despair. Everywhere terriflec
men, women and children were cling-
ing with death grips to mero splint-
ers of floating wreckage. Those who
were in the boats rowed about while
they could, rescuing those in the
water. Their task became more and
more hopeles Many of those pulled
' into the boats were thinly clad; those
with thicker clothing In .most oases
had been dragged down. When it
was no longer possible to tend assist-
ance the Moats simply 'drifted for an
pour or two. Many of those who
;were in the boats died from the
shock, exhaustion or cold, and some
succumbed to injuries- sustained when
the torpedoes exploded. It was to

I Many pitiful stories are told of the
hours following the rescue. One ves-
sel picked up a boy about 10 years
old whose leg was splintered sell
who when revived asked :"Is there
a tunny paper on board I can look
at?" The courage of that little boy
is matchedby the innocent trust of
little Helen F'mith whose father,
mother and brother were drowned but
, who herself was saved by a Can-
adian journalist to whose arms she
clung as ho swam for safety. Yester-
day she had teen provided with warm

count of his long hair.- I sant him
and his wife start below apparently

Mr, Geo. A. Kessler, of New York,
who identified Charles Frohmann's
body said: "I was standing on the

I distinctly saw the wake of a tor-
