“ The babe that clung to his mother's breast cried out to the world—TO AVENGE the most violent cruelty that was ever perpetrated upon an unsuspecting and innocent people.
Fifteen minutes after the first torpedo struck, the Lusitania had disappeared beneath the waves.
The man who fired the shot was decorated for it by the Kaiser!—AND YET THEY TELL US NOT TO HATE THE HUN.

“ At noon, May 7th, the Lusitania sighted the coast of Ireland, nearing the end of her journey.
Two hours later, while steaming at 18 knots, the Lusitania was struck almost directly under the Captain's bridge by the first of two torpedoes fired by the German Submarine U-39.
After the first torpedo which struck there were scenes of pitiful partings. 1150 persons perished—114 being Americans.
