Charlotte Observer. tl The Observer gives a copy of the f( advertisement which the German Embassy caused to be printed in the n New York papers, and which was p disegarded by the Lusitania owners and the people who took passage on t( the ship. It is conspicuously displayed in large type, and in "box" t: fotm?that is, with rule around it. The warning is to this effect: o "NOTICE! p "Travellers intenling to embark o on the Atlantic voyage are reminded 0 that a state of war exists between Germany and her Allies and Great Britain and her Allies; that the zone nf war inr-liirtne ?lif> wntors sirln.-tcunt a to the British Isles; that in aceor- a, lance with formal notice given by the Imperial German Government u vessels Hying the flag of Great Brit- e< tain, or any of her Allies, are liable cl o destruction in those waters and gi that travellers sailing in the war zone on ships of Great Rritain or her Allies do so at their own risk. "IMPERIAL GERMAN EMBASSY. t< "Washington, I). C., April 22, 1 ? 15 w It is said that the Embassy's t< warining 'had never been officialy (< communicated to the State Depart- s) ment." As the Government is in no way responsible for the sailing of British ship, the failure of the Em- si bassy to give notice to the state de- a partment will scarcely have much j( legal bearing on the status of the case. Undoubtedly the Germany gov- w ernment will set much store by the warning it caused to be printed, g Time of ilis Life. The Lancaster News thinks that Col.

Queenstown was almost as much | ,,y lazed by the tragedy as those aboard i * lie Lusitania. The question on very lip is: "Why did Captain tj( rurner pursue the usual well-known .

One sailor fainted at s oar and the girl took his place, one among the survivors bears ajs tie sign of her terrible experience i Miss Kaye. DRAGGING OF LIFEBOATS. The dragging of the lifeboats was plained by passengers and lqemrs of the crew by the statement at the second torpedo severed seval steam pipes from the engines. ?e Lusltania had been sent full i eed ahead when the first torpedo | is seen and ft was impossible to ; op her headway by reversing the, gines when the necessity for low- ! ing the boats was realized. The most remarkable escape was at of R. J. Timmis of Gainsville, , xas, who was returning to Kngland , r his yearly visit accompanied by s chum, R. T. Moodle, also of linesville. Both men gave their e belts to steerage women just as e Lusitania sank. Timmis. who is strong swimmer, remained in the 1 iter, clinging to various objects, , r nearly three hours. Then he was ken into a boat, which he still had e strength to assist in rowing. The boat began picking up from e water all those showing signs of e and the first person rescued was e half-unconscious steerage worn to whom Timmis had given his ebelt. Moodle sank when the ship *nt uuuer, ana. aitnougn ue was .1 oil swimmer, he was not seen ain. Moodle was all ready to nip. when Tinunis said: "There a steerage woman hero with a six-1 ouths-old baby." Moodlepromptly ripped tt his life belt, but it seetnu | >th he and the woman perished. BELIEVED VESSEL SAFjL Dr. J. T. Houghton of Troy, N. Y., survivor, said there was no reason 1 fear any danger after the first exosion. as it was believed the vessel DUld be headed for Queenstown and ached if necessary. Just then, id Dr. Houghton, the liner again as struck .evidently in a more vital ?ot, for it began to settle rapidly. Orders then came from the bridge i lower all boats. Women became inic-stricken. People were rushed to the boats, some of which were unched successfully, other t not so iccessfully. G. D. Lane, a youthful but cool aded second cabin passenger, was ^ i a lifeboat which capsized. "I was on the II deck," he said. ; vhen I saw the wake of the torpedo. rushed to get a life belt, but stop- t h1 to help get children 011 the boat ? ?ck. The second cabin Was a ver- v able nursery. Many youngsters c ust have drowned, hut I saw one s >at get away filled with women and v lildren. When the water reached I e deck I saw another lifeboat with a vacant seat which I t<?r?k The jsitania keeled so suddenly our s >at was swamped, but we righted a tr again. s "We witnessed the most horrible b one of human futility it is poss'e t oimagine. When the I.usitaniu 1( <1 turned almost over she sudden- Q plunged bow foremost into the q iter, leaving her stern high in the f r. People on the aft deck were b ;hting with wild desperation to rein a footing on the almost perpen- 0 cular deck, while they fell over the (ppery stern like crippled flies." Y SHRIEKS OP DYING. b "Their sliieks could be heard P, ove the hiss of scaping steam and b e crash of bursting boilerr. Then e water mercifully closed over em and the big liner disappeared, n wing scarcely a ripple behind her. jf Twelve lifeboats were all that were j, ft of our floating home. In a tune \ lich could be measured by seconds b immers, bodies and wreckage ap- n ared in the space where she went wn." ti ('apt. David Murphy of the trawler R, orm Cock, who was first on the ene with a rescue boat, said: y "First of all I garnered in a life- g{ at 52 persons, most of them wo- n en and children and before I ccm b eted my load I had 20 blessed linFHtAra nhAnr/1 thn r* 1/1 ! ick.
