"ATLANTIC A WAR ZONE." MORE GERMAN BLUEE. London, May 2. Count Bernstorff has issued a warning that the Atlantic must be regarded as a war zone, but it has not produced the slightest alarm in Liverpool, where shipowners describe it as another sample of German bluff. There is no likelihood of any curtailment of sailings as the result of such a threat. Advices from New York state that the Lusitania sailed amid excitement, due to the newest manifestation of Count Bernstorff's flagrant disrespect of American neutrality. Amonst the numerous telegrams received on the pier were some signed with obviously fictitious names, declaring that the liner would, certainly 'be torpedoed. Mr. Alfred Vanderbilt (an American millionaire) destroyed 'his without comment. The Cunard Company allowed none of tho 1310 passengers of the Lusitania to cross the gangway until their credentials had been presented. Washington, May 2. It is stated that there is a German advertising campaign throughout the American press, warning passengers not to risk crossing the Atlantic owing to submarines. T'ie State Department refuses to suppress the advertisements, as no precedent is existing.
