The Earl of Cork and Orrery said last month that he could scarcely subscribe to the general view that the Germans were wrong in sinking the Lusitania.

Such a vessel might conceivably be used for the transport of 10,000 troops, he said, adding:

"If women and children choose, to cruise shout in war areas they must expect what they get."

The admiral was speaking after a lecture by Major-Gen. Sir Henry Thuillier, Colonel Commandant, Royal Engineers, at the Royal United Service Institution.

Describing many accepted views on Inhumane methods of war as "Ine, foolish sentimentalism," the lecturer said that;

British Plan Shelter For Boat of Heroine

Bamburgh, Feb. 20.

It is planned to build a shelter here to house the bont which Grace Darling, British heroine of the seas, used in the historic rescue of the crew of the For- farshire off the rugged Northam- brian coast nearly 100 years ago. For a long time the boat has been lying in a stable at Ham- burgh but it is felt that it should be suitably rehoused before the centenary of the rescue is cele brated three years hence.

A site for the proposed building is available in a garden near the house where Grace Darling was born, and a local committee has been set up to decide on the actual form which the building is to take.
