Inscription REMEMBER THE LUSITANIA! One mother lost all her three young children, one six years, one aged four, and the third a babe in arms, six months old. She herself lives, and held up the three of them in the water, all the time shrieking for help. When rescued by a boat party the two eldest were dead. Their room was required on the boat, and the mother was brave enough to realise it. 'Give them to me, my bonnie wee things. I will bury them. They are mine to bury as they were mine to keep.' With her hair streaming down her back and her form shaking with sorrow, she took hold of each little one from the rescuers and reverently placed it into the water again, and the people in the boat wept with her as she murmured a little sobbing prayer to the great God above. But her cup of sorrow was not yet completed. For just as they were landing, her third and only child died in her arms. BERLIN, MAY 3. Hundreds of telegrams have been sent to Admiral von Tirpitz congratulating him. ARTICLE IN COLOGNE GAZETTE. The news will be received by the German people with unanimous satisfaction, since it proves to England and the whole world that Germany is quite in earnest in regard to her submarine warfare. ARTICLE IN KOLNISCHE VOLKSZEITUNG. With joyful pride we contemplate the latest deed of our Navy and it will not be the last. NEW YORK, MAY 8. Riotous scenes of jubilation took place last evening amongst Germans in the German clubs and restaurants. Many Germans got drunk as the result of toasting 'Der Tag.'
