THE GLOBE We Reverently Pause in The Midst of Our Business Labors to Pay a Tribute to Mothers' Day FOND remembrances of Mother love and de votion prompts us to print this beautiful poem by C T. Byrne. I am gracing through the twilight Of a day that's soon to close. And the busy world around me Seems to Join me In repose; I can see the golden sunshine ' Of my youth now gone before. And my playmates calling to me Over there on Childhood's shore. I am roaming through the woodland Where the leaves are gold and brown, I caji hear the children singing London Bridge is falling down; I can see their happy faces As they played when school was o'er. How my heart aches to be with them Over there on Childhood's shore. As the twilight turns to darkness And my eyes begin to fill. As I gaze upon a cabin Over yonder on the hill; Where a loving voice Is calling As It called in days of yore. The voice of my dear mother Over there on Childhood's shore.

Coast Guard Declares Ship Sank in 8 Minutes By Associated Press Cork, Ireland, May 8, 6:04 a. m.— A coast guard wtio witnessed the sink ing of the ship believes she sank within eight minutes, t His story is confirmed by a Cork farmer who was working near Old Head Kinsale when he heard shots and looking seaward saw a steamer with her bows in the air. He said hardly ten minutes later she keeled over on her side and sank. A resident of Ardfleld estimates the ship was five miles from shore when he heard the crash of the torpedo when It pierced her side. For a mo ment she seemed to move slowly straight ahead, then turned suddenly and then stopped, her bow sinking nnd the stern rising. Then she keeled over and disappeared from sight. Within a few minutes the boats had reached the spot where she went down. The trawler Daniel O'Connel, while fishing, came upon two of the Lusl tanla's boats containing 65 passengers, mostly women and children. In a de plorable plight. The trawler took the boats In tow and was proceeding with them to Kinsale when It was Inter cepted by government tugs which took 1 the survivors to Queenaiown. GRAVEST SITUATION NOW FACES U. S. [Continued from First Page.] belligerent vessel, but he considered tile attack on the American steamer (•ulfllght a much more serious of fense against neutral rights. The I "resident, Secretary Bryan and other memlters of the cabinet were vis ibly depressed. Persons who talked with them found them sick at heart and grieved at the horror of the catas trophe. Notwithstanding that warn ings had been given, a tiad been re garded as Inconceivable by high offi cials that the threatened sinking of the vessel would actually be carried Into clTect. The fact that the I.usita nia was a British ship, flying the Brit ish Hag and even liad contraband of war alMiard, did not remove from their minds the ever recurrent thought that n hostile submarine deliberately de stroyed the ship with the knowledge Uiat hundreds of defenseless neutrals and women and children were aboard. VESSEL NOT AR.MKI) Everywhere that as|iect oversha dowed the legal phases of the case, for, while there Is said to be no precedent in international law for the attack without warning on a belligerent mer chantman, It was realized that defense might be made on the cluirge that guns were mounted on the deck. That, however, the British government lias denied. lu many quarters it was thought probable representations to Germany will bo general, covering all the cases of attack on American vessels. It was pointed out that the case of the Gulf light, also torpedoed without warning, with a loss of three American lives, might be made the basis for action by the United States, but that the Lusl tania incident, the death of I .eon C. Thresher, an American, on the Brit ish steamer Falaha, and the attack by German airmen on the American steamer Cushhig, might be grou|>ed as an indictment by the American gov ernment against Germany for failure to observe the rules of international law with respect to the lives of non combatants. IX OFFICIAL QUARTERS AXD AMONG DIPLOMATISTS THERE WAS APPREHEXSIOX THAT THE AMERICAN' PEOPLE .MIGHT XOT CONSIDER REPRESENTATIONS SUFFICIENT. A SPECIAL SESSION OF CONGRESS HAS BEEN TALKED OF. BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO INTIMATION OF IT AS YET FROM ANY OFFICIAL QUARTER. Officials everywhere, sparlug in their comment, realized that a word from the high officials of the government might have weight with public opin ion before the facts had been received and digested. "We are Informing ourselves as rapidly as possible of the facts and doing what we can for those injured." was the only statement Secretary Bryan would make. The President returned to the White House at noon and resumed rending dispatches. He continued to refuse to make any comment. AMBASSADOR AWAY At the German embassy both Count Yon BernstorfT. the ambassador and llauicl Von Halmhauscn. councillor, were out of town but the ambassador WHS expected late to-day. It was de finitely known, however, that nt> ad vices had lieen received making ref erence to the catastrophe. The gen eral sentiment prevailing was one of concern and regret that the destruc tion of the ship liad been attended with the loss of life. ' That the Lusitanla was considered a "franc tlreur" of the sea by German naval commanders was stated in Ger man diplomatic circles. It was further said that embassy oftlHals had not re ceived any notittcation to the effect that the big British liner had removed her guns. Stone's Statement Chairman Stone, of the Senate for eign relations committee, made this statement "The - tragedey is, of course, pro foundly regretted. If the reports as to the loss of life are true, the sympathies of the civilized world will be deeply stirred. But for us, it seems to me that good sense dic tates that we keep our heads until we get our bearings. It is a bad time to get rattled and act impuls ively. Don't 'rock the boat.' "Without expressing an opinion as to our relations to this event, there are some facts we cannot overlook and are bound to consider. We can not overlook the fact that the Lusi tania was a British ship flying the British flag and subject at any time to he put into the actual naval ser vice of the government. Indeed, it is stated, that at the time she was at tacked she was carrying military re servists to England for service in the British army. True, there were American citizens aboard, but it must not be- forgotten that they went aboard a belligerent ship with full knowledge of the risk and after offi cial warning by the German govern ment. When on board a British vessel they were on British soil. Their po sition was substantially equal to be ing within the walls of a fortified city. "Aside from the possible loss of American lives, let us ask ourselves just where we come in. At the pres ent moment and with the light now before me, I confess that it appears to me that from our standpoint as a neutral nation the Gulflight case pre sents a more delicate and serious com plication than the case of the Lusi tania." Senator Lodge, ranking Republican members of the foreign relations com mittee, said he was not prepared to discuss the sinking of the Lusitania. The sinking of a passenger ship, even of a belligerent, without giving pas sengers an opportunity to leave, the Senator thought a new thing in war fare. Booth Says Americans Were Murdered on Liner By Associated Press Liverpool, May 8, 1.58 p. m.—Al fred Booth, manager-director of the Cunard Steamship Company, made the following statement to-day: "I desire to send my heartfelt sym pathy, wherein all the Cunard direc tors and managers join, to relatives and friends of the American passen gers murdered by the German sub marine. "I am certain the whole civilized world grieves for the sorrow and suf fering caused, and in loathing for this treacherous attack on innocent lives, so many of whom were women and children. "Every possible step is being taken to relieve the immediate wants of the survivors at Queenstown after their terrible experience." Duke of Abruzzi Has Reached Italian Capital By Associated Press Paris. May 8, 4.50 A. M.—A Rome dispatch to the Matin says: "The Duke of Abruzzi, who in case of war, will take command of the Ital ian battle fleet, has arrived at the Italian capital where he c#tferred with the minister of marine A id chief of the naval general staff. "The family of the German ambas sador to the Vatican has left for Ger many as well as several officials of the Austrian and German embassies to the Quirinal who took with them cases filled with documents. TTiH CQtDDLeTCWn TRANSFORM WOODS INTD PRETTY PWK School Children, Laborers and Prominent Residents Work Under Direction of Expert Two hundred school children, forty laborers and many men prominent in the business and professional life of Steelton, participated to-day in the field day exercises in Luther R. Kelker Park that formally marked the be ginning of a comprehensive park sys tem for the borough. Under the personal direction of Warren H. Manning, the Boston land scape architect, this small army of volunteers blazed trails, graded walks or drives and trimmed trees with much enthusiasm. A few hours after the volunteer tollers had commenced their work, Kelker Park was transformed from a ten-acre tract of wild tangled wood land, covered with dense, thorny un derbrush, to a beautiful park. .Over the hillsides, many gently slop ing trails now wind their way through small, well-trimmed locust trees, past tall, stately oaks and poplars, down through shady ravines, to convene at the feet of two huge, towering oaks. Here two springs of clear, spark ling water bubble forth. Just a few feet beyond is a natural ampitheater in the center of which is a site for a bandstand, and a little farther down, flows a small stream of water to be used for wading purposes. Ex|M»rts Direct Work That there might be an efficient or ganization and not merely a haphaz ard attempt to do the work, Mr. Man ning delegated certain parts of the work to separate men. William P. Callaghan, engineer for the borough, assisted Mr. Manning in marking out lines for the trails and drives. Jacob Meshey, highway commissioner; Geo. Cover, a labor boss for the steel com pany, and Harry Zook, the steel com pany's real estate manager, directed squads of laborers. C. S. Davis, principal of the High. School, and Paul D. Miller, J. D. Hurst. A. G. Hottenstine, L. B. Ney, and Roseoe Bowman, of the High School faculty, directed the work of the High School students. X. A. Yeaney and G. W. Henry, of the Central Grammar School, were in charge of a big delegation of grammar school boys. H. C. Wright, president of the Municipal League, directed part of the grading work. Girls Work With Men While the boys from the high and grammar schools showed considerable enthusiasm, there was a group of per haps 25 little girls who attend one of the foreign parochial schools, that set the pace. HONOR STUDENTS ELECTED Honor students were elected by the senior class of the Steelton high school last evening. They are: Valedictorian. Miss Lueetta Mcllhenny; salutatorian, William Jefferson; James A. Smith, Bryce Xewbaker, Paul Kirby, James Tolbert. Miss Mildred Griffe. Miss Re becca Millar and Miss Margaret Gault.

Jonathan Gramm, of Washington, D. C., and four grandchildren. MANYYANKEESARE AMONG THE DEAD [Continued from First Page.] first cabin passenders is believed to have been due to the calmness and self-pos scsslpn they displayed In face of dan ger. Most of them were at luncheon whe ntlie steamer received her death blow and declined to join the rush for the lx>ats and lifebelts. They be lieved the Cuiiarder would remain alloat until assistance could arrive. A considerable proportion of those at Queenstown are members of the crew, including Captain Turner, with the first and second officers. All the other officers are believed to have per ished. There Is no evidence, however, that llie time-honored rule of the sea. "wo men and children first" was violated. At least one of the survivors, a Toron to newspa|>ermaii gives evidence that there was no panic among the crew and thr.t '.he sailors acted promptly In getting the passengers into the ship's boats. LOOKOUTS OX ALERT Apparently every precaution .had been taken against a surprise attack by a submarine.. J«ookouts were on the alert constantly as tile giant steam ship speeded toward the Irish coast. Difficulty was experienced in launch ing the boats because of the heavy list of the l.usltania almost immediately after she was torpedoed. Several of the frail craft evidently capsized as they were launched, or soon after wards. Many of the passengers owed their rescue to lifebelts, which kept thc.a afloat until they were picked up by I Hints. Among this number was Lady Mackworth, daughter of David A. Thomas, the Welsh "coal king," and Julian De Ayala, Cuban consul general at Liverpool. Investigation has failed to reveal that the steamer was given warning of the proposed attack by the submarine which appears to have been lurking oft the Irish coast bent upon destroying the largest and fastest ship engaged In trans-Atlantic traffic. FOUR FIRED AT SHIP The lookouts sighted the periscope of a submersible a thousand yards away and the next Instant they saw the trail left by the torpedo as It flash ed on Its course.. Then came a terrific 'crash as the missile pierced the liner's BAHLES FOR LIFE IN DARKENED ROOM Detective Wins in Hand-to-Hand Struggle With Man Who Is Armed With Razor v In the small kitchen at 311 Hamil ton street. Harrlsburg, last night, with no light except the 'weird glow from a dim lamp, Detective I. N. Durnbaugh fought for his life with Ross M. Dickey, whom he sought to arrest. Durnbaugh went to Dickey's home to arrest him on a warrant sworn out by his wife, who alleges that her hus band heat her while drinking. When the detective entered tjie front door Dickey, he says, started for the kitchen. Durnbaugh followed. The kitchen was dark and the de tective opened his fiashlamp to follow his prisoner's movements. As he opened the lamp, he declares, Dickey lunged at him, Hashing a yazor. The detective dropped his flash and grap pled with the man, who. he declares, was almost crazed with drink. Back and forth through the darkened room they struggled until the detective shoved Dickey through a window. As he recovered and made another lunge at the officer Durnbaugh drew his mace and struck out In defense. His blow landed and Dickey was subdued. Dickey is in jail, charged with as saulting an officer, assaulting his wife and with resisting an officer, lie will be given a hearing before Squire Gardner. STEELTON CHURCHES First Reformed Rev.

Rhoad officiated and burial was made in the Highspire Cemetery. side, followed almost immediately hv another which littered the decks with wreckage. The course of the liner was at once turned towards shore. Four torpedoes apparently were fired at the Lusitania. but only two of tlienj found their mark. The loss of life caused by the torpe does themselves and the explosions they caused, must have been terribly heavy. The «.aglc freight of bodies taken to Queenstown bears evidence of tile havoc wrought. Many of those taken ashore were seriously injured and more than a score died after they were removed to Cork and Queenstown hospitals. A long line of stretchcr l>earcrs mar.-lied from the piers as tugs and trawlers arrived. The people of the Irish city o|>ened their homes to those who had been saved and every thing possible Is being done for their comfort. Probably no event of the war has caused such intense excitement in London as the sinking of the Lnslta nla. Enormous crowds surrounded offices of the Cunard line all night scanning anxiously the bulletins re ceived from Queenstown. The com pany announced that an accurate list of survivors would be compiled as speedily as possible, but that the im mediate needs of those saved were be ing given first attention. The press of I/>ndon expresses In tense indignation at the traxedy. DR. FISHER SAFE AND WELL By Associated Press Wellington, May B.—Dr. Howard L. Fisher, brother of Walter L.
