S. mes- sage was received by the Allan Liner Virginian, which, according to the position given by the Titanic’s operator, was not more than 170 miles away. The captain of the Virginian at once started his boat at full speed for the scene of the disaster, announcing to his brother officer on the bridge of the Titanic that the Virginian should reach him by ten o’clock this morning. The Titanic’s accident happened in latitude 41.46 north, longitude 50.14 west. This point is about 1,- 150 miles due east of New York City, and 450 miles south of the Cape Race, Newfoundland, wireless station. ' All messages from the ship 'were relayed to the Cape Race wireless station by the Virginian and fork warded by the Marconi Company to New York City. The Titanic’s twin ship, Olympic, which left New York last week, was also in direct com- munication with the sinking boat, from a point about 300 miles away, and started at once for the scene.

New York, April 15.â€"A wireless message 'from the White Star steamship Titanic, received short- ly after midnight to-day, announc- ed that the giant new liner had struck ’an' iceberg off the. Banks of Newfoundland, and was in a sink- ing condition. Transfer of passen- gers to the lifeboats began at once. The accident occurred at" 10.25 o’c_lock_last night. TITANIC MEETS DISASTER The last words sent by the opera- tor‘ told that the vessel was appar- ently doomed. “Sinking by the head,” and that the women pas~ sengers were being rushed into the lifeboats. A reassuring feature was that the weather was calm and clear, and help only a few hours away. Steamship men here toâ€"day char- acterized the disaster as “the most startling news which has come in from the. sea since the advent of Wireless “telegraphy.” Two hours later the ship’s wire- léss apparatus, which had been working so badly as to permit; of only intermitten and fragmentary me_s_sages, failed completely.

April I5.â€"â€"The place where the Titanic sank, acâ€" cording to an official of the Marine Department here, is about five hunâ€" dred miles from Halifax, and the water at that point about seventy More than 1,500 persons, it is feared, sank to their death early to-day. when within four hours af- ter she crashed into an iceberg the mammoth White Star liner Titanic, bound from Southampton to New York on her maiden voyage, foun- dered off the Newfoundland Banks. Of the, approximately 2,200 persons on board the giant liner, some of them of worldâ€"wide prominence, only 675 are known to have been saved. The White Star Line offices in New York, while keeping up hope to the last, were free to adâ€" mit that there had been “horrible loss of life.” A message received at a. later hour gave the number of survivors as 866, which would reduce the los~ ses to 1,304, with the qualificatibns stated. New York, April 15.â€"A message from the steamer Olympic .reportâ€" ing the sinking of the Titanic and the rescue of 675 survivors, which reached here late toâ€"night, expressâ€" ed the opinion that 1,800 lives were lost. “Loss likely to total 1,800 souls,” the despatch read in its concluding sentence. It is hoped and believed here that this is an error, unless the Titanic had more passengers on board than were reâ€" ported, The list as given out showed 1,310 passengers and a crew of 360, or 2.170 persons in all. De- ducting 675, the known saved, would indicate a loss of 1,495 persons. The Olympic’s despatch follows 2â€"â€" “Carpathia reached Titanic posi- tion at daybreak. Found boats and wreckage only. Titanic sank about 2.20 a.m., in 41.10 N., 50.14 W. All her boats accounted for, containing about 675 souls saved, crew and passengers included. Nearly all saved were women and children. Leyland liner Californian remained and searching exact position of dis- aster. Loss likely to tot-a1 1,800 souls.” ' Nothing could have caused much greater alarm than this meagre re- port did in New York this morning. The Titanic is the biggest boat in the world. She has on board more than 2,000 personsâ€"1,470 pass-en- geris and a crew of 860 men. “The Olympic at midnight was in latitude 40.32 north, and longitude 61.13 west. She was in direct coin- munication with the, Titanic, and‘is now making all haste toward her. The steamship Baltic also reported herself as about 200 miles east of the Titanic at 1.15 a.m.,, and making all possible speed toward her. “The last signals from the Titanic were heard by the. Virginian at 12.27 a.m. The wireless operator on the Virginian says these signals were blurred, and ended abrupt- 1y.” when a bulletin from Montreal stated that the Allan Line officials there had reecived a Wireless from Cape Gambell off their steamer Virginian stating that the Titamc was calling for assistance after a collision with an iceberg. The Vir- ginian’s captain added that he was heading his boat for the Titanic, whose position was said to be about 350 miles south of Cape Race, New- foundland. “The Virginian at, midnight was about 170 miles distant from the Titanic, and expected to reach that vessel about 10 a.m. Monday. “At 10.25 last night the steam- ship Titanic called ‘C.Q.D.’ and re- ported having’ struck an iceberg. The steamer said that immediate assistanqe. was required. Half an hour afterwards another measage came, reporting that they were sinking by the head, and that wo- men were- being put off in the lifeâ€" boats. “The weather was calm and clear. The. Titanic’s wireless operator re- ported, and gave the position of the vessel as 41.46 north latitude, and 15.14 west longitude. The Marconi station at Cape Race notified the Allan Liner Virginian, the captain of which immediately advised that he was proceeding for the scene of the disaster. Immediate enquire by the Asso- ciated Press in an urgent despatch to the Marconi station at. Cape Race was answered soon afterward in the following words: Titanic Sinksâ€"1,800 Lives Lost. WATER TWO MILES-DEEP LATER. “One day on an excursion up the country I remarked to a young lady friend on her greatly improved appearance. She explained that some time before she had quit using coffee and taken Postum. She had gained a. number of pounds and her former palpitation of the heart, humming in the ears, trembling of the hands and legs and other dis- agreeable feelings had disappeared. She recommended me to quit cof- fee and take Postum and was very much surprised to find that I had already made the change. “She said her brother had also received great benefits from leav- ing off coffee and taking on Pos- tum.” “There’s a reason.”~ Ever read the above letter?! A new one appears lrom time to time. Thsy are gunning. true. and full of human Interest. “A lady said that perhaps coffee was the cause of my trouble, and suggested that I try Posture. (Tea is just as harmful as cofiee because it contains caffeine, the same drug found in coffee). I laughed at the thought that coffee hurt me, but she insisted so hard that I finally had some Postum made. I have been using it in place of coffee ever since, for I noticed that all my for- mer nervousness and irritation dis- appeared. I began to sleep perfect- ly, and the Postum tasted as good or better than the old coffee, so what was the use of sticking to a beverage that was injuring me? A New York hotel man says: “Each time after drinking coffee I became restless, nervous and ex- cited, so that I was unable to sit five minutes if one place, was also inclined to vomit and suffered from loss of sleep, which got worse and worse. ' It is difficult to make people‘be- lieve that tea and coffee are a. poi- son to at least; one person out of every three, but people are slowly finding it out, although thousands of them suffer terribly before they discover the fact. A despatch from Rome says! In accordance with the prearranged plan, while the Italian squadron was creating a diversion by bom- barding the Turkish positions around Zuara, to the west of Tri- poli, a large force of troops direct from Italy‘landed and occupied an important strategic point on the coast of Libya. The operation is reported to have been a brilliant success, the Italians not losing a single man. A RELIABLE MEDIGINE FOR. YOUNG CHILDREN Baby’s Own Tablets are a safe medicine for all little ones. They are guaranteed by a government analyst to be absolutely free from opiates and other harmful drugsâ€" that is why so many mothers will give their baby nothing else in the way of medicine. Concerning them Mrs. John Thompson, Coutts, Alta, says: “I have given my babv. when needed, Baby’s Own Tablets and think they are the best remedy for constipation I have ever used. I would not be Without them in the house.” The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams’ Medicine 00., Brockville.
