Newspaper Page Text6 THE MORNING OREGO NI AN. WEDNESDAY, MAT 12, 1915 92 FROM LINER LIE HEATH IRISH GREEN Soldiers, Sailors and Dignita ries Follow Muffled Drums. Babes Placed in Graves. RITES OF 3 CHURCHES SAID Queenstown Folk Bar Heads for Day as Lusitania. Victims Are Slowly Carted to Cemetery in Elm-Shaded Hills. QPEENSTOWN, May 11 Ninety-two passengers of the Cunard line steamer Lusitania who formed part of that piti ful handful of maimed, dead and dying brought ashore with the survivors of the disaster that followed the attack on th vessel by a German submarine last Friday, were buried yesterday with services that have no parallel in hist ory. Under a sky in which not a single cloud floated and to the strains ot liymns played by British soldiers, they were laid to rest two miles behind Queenstown In a cemetery bursting with Spring- greenery and tucked be tween hills flaming with gorge. Queenstown Suddenly Realises. The services at tho graves began at 4 o'clock and at half-past 4 the sod of Ireland waa being shoveled on the coffins. Queenstown never sensed the full horror of the Lusitania disaster until now. L'p to the time that the long stream ot - oof fins began to disappear over the hm behind the town there was about the affair what, with the continued searches for survivors and the bustle about the morgue, something of tha unusual and theatric. When the funeral started, however, the realiza tion came ttiat, each of these cheap cof fins held a body and that In the At lantic, less than 20 miles away, there were more than 1000 others all vic tims of a German submarine. City . Pare Respect to UcaL The townspeople stood hatless nearly all. forenoon as- the coffins were con veyed, to the cemetery on carts. This process required hours, and it was not until. -3 o'clock that the funeral pro cession proper left the Cunard offices at- the waterfront. There were only three' bodies, one each in a hearse, in this cortege, .the other. 89 already hav iiwr bnea placed in the graves. With British' army band playing Chopin's "funeral March." tho funeral procession marched through the crooked streets, past the cathedral, which stands on the highest point in the town, and then took its course along an undulating country road, now rising and now sinking, between green hills. Along this country road country folk were clustered for the most part, perched on stone fences behind the soldiers who guarded the road the en tire two miles from the cathedral to the cemetery. Muffled Drums Beaten. Those waiting in the graveyard first heard, borne faintly on. the soft breeze, the notes of the funeral march and then the sound of the muffled drums. A moment later the sun flashed on the band instruments and the cortege took form in the distance. - Not for more than an hour, however, did It reach the lane bordering the cemetery, which it entered in the following or der: A Major of the Royal Irish infantry oh horse, five members of the Irish constabulary and' a group cf Protestant churchmen. Then in black robes cams 13 priests, and behind them were the hearses draped with British flaps, to the rear of which, trudged the mourn ers, among: them several American sur vivors of the disaster. The sailors from the steamer Way farer, which was recently torpedoed, but was able to make port, came next, and behind them the members of the corporation of Cork, headed by the Lord .Mayor. A company of marines followed, and then came sailors of the various British ships in the harbor, Tho British officers, numbering more than 100, marched erect, but slow. Next in line were Captains Miller and Castle, attaches of the American Embassy In London. Both were dressed in' khaki uniforms. , British Admiral In Cortege. A party of British naval officers and Admiral Sir Charles Coke, of Queens town, followed them. The most Rev. Robert Browne, Bishop of ClOyne, rode In a carriage. The procession was a full, hour In passing into the cemetery. There sol diers guarded the walls as six other soldier pallbearers lifted the coffins from the hearses and set them beside the graves. The three coffins rested beside separate graves. The other 89 had previously been placed in three irreat pits 65 In one, in layers two deep and 12 each in the other two. Just before the service started, a woman rushed to the side of one of the nuce graves and asked to Have -the coffin in one corner raised This was done, and trembling the woman bent over and gazed at the face within it' Then she shook her head and turned away. Apparently she had-not found the one ehe sought.' Several Services Conducted. Conducted by Bishop Browne, the Catholic service was held first, the choir boys bearing incense appearing from a cluster of elms and coming to the grave side. The Church pf Ire land service, that is. the Episcopalian,' followed, and finally the non-con lormist rites were performed. As the last words of this service were spoken the muffled drums rolled and the familiar hymn, "Abide With Me" swelled forth. .Sailors who had replaced the soldier pall bearers then lowered the cofnins Into the small graves and simultane ously the earth .began to thud on the coffins. The crowd, nearly all with eyes wet. slowly left, some to take the jaunting cars, but most of them to trudge across the fields to the city. As they reached the crest of the hill Immediately above, the harbor flashed Into view and in it the flag on every vessel fluttered at half mast. No Americans, so far as known, were among those burled. A few of the dead were members of the Lusi tania's crew, but the majority of them either were unidentified persons, in cluding a number of small children and babes, or persons the financial cir cumstances of whose relatives forced them to be content with the interment or tneir loved ones wherever it hap pened to be. REPUBLICANS WILL . MEET Connty Central Committee to Hear Commlssionershlp Candidates. A series of meetings probably will be held by the Republican county central committee within the next few weeks to ' hear . presentation of, campaign A NON-ALCOHOLIC TONIC Many people need a tonic at this time of year, old folks, weak folks, thin people, people who are run down from too much work and vacation still mariy weeks away. Nervous people also need a tonic, but cannot safely take alcohol. A non-alcoholic tonic that will build up the blood and strengthen the nerves is what most people need and Dr. Will, lams' Pink Pills are exactly that.' The one symptom of thin blood that everybody recognizes Is pallor. It shows so gradually that other people are lia ble to notice It before you do. But It is important that you should notice and heed the' warning because the thin blood that causes the pallor betrays some drain on the body or some poison ing by its own waste materials that, if not corrected, will result In physical breakdown and ill health. Dr. Williams' Pink, Fill not only build up ' the . blood, but they have a direct . strengthening action on the nerves. ; As they are free from narcot ics and any harmful or ; poisonous drugs, they are safe for every member of the family.

A meeting of the committee was held in the Public Library Monday for the purpose of selecting a secretary to succeed Elmer L. Amidon, who haB re signed, but owing to the absence of many prominent members, the election was postponed until next Monday even ing. It is probable that O. A. Neal will be elected. Many members present last night ad vocated that the committee indorse for Commissioner two or more candidates who are registered as Republicans and that they urge all members of the Re nuhlican Dartv to vote for them. Other speakers pointed out that the party element is not supposed to nsuro in me municipal campaign and that It would be inadvisable for the committee offi cially to make any Indorsements. Final action on this subject was de ferred until next Monday night. rbcoedWrejised some: reported as survivors are sow known to be lost. Committee In New York Will Appeal for Kandi for American Victims Who Are In Need. NEW YORK, May 11 Although a number of additional names of sur vivors of the Lusitania disaster were given in the latest revised list issued here by the Cunard Steamship Company, there -was little to cheer anx ious relatives or friends, because a list of Identified dead given out contained the names of some who had previously been reported among the survivors. Relatives of Mrs. Ogden II. Ham mond, of Bernardsvllle, N. J., aban doned hope that she waa among the survivors when they received a cablegram which indicated that her name, previously given as among the survivors, had been confused with that of Mrs. F. S. Hammond, a steerage pas senger of Toronto, who was saved. Ogden H. Hammond was saved, but the husband of the Toronto woman was lost. Friends of Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt are prepared to abandon hope that he might have been saved. with the receipt of the latest advices from Queenstown that no trace of the young millionaire had been found. Cunard -line officials were trying to trace the origin of a message from Oueenstown signed by Mrs. B. Blish Thompson, of Seymour, InrL, who said she could find no trace of her husband. A previous message received here by T. S. Blish, an uncle of Mr. Thomp son, .purported to come irom Mr. Thompson and told of the safety of bimself and his wife. A relief committee named by Act ing Mayor McAneny to raise funds for the survivors and relatives met today and arranged to , send money to Eng land for those in dire need. Arrange ments also will be made to furnish re lief to those left destitute in this coun try. Arrangements were completed for the funeral of Charles Frohman. The body will be sent from Liverpool Saturday aboard the steamship New York, which is due here Sunday, May 23. The funeral will take place May 25 and will be private. On that day all of Mr. Frohman'a theatrical enterprises in the United States and England will be closed. 'Unite Ixses Elg-ht on Lusitania.
