New York, May 1.—The ilargest number of trans-Atlantic travelers to leave New York in a single day this spring had booked passage on six big liners leaving port today. = The Lusitania alone had aboard nearly 900 cabin passengers and a .large inumber in the steerage. Apparently the notice, published today over the signature of the im- perial ‘German enibassy, reminding passengers that vessels flying the tlags of the allies are liable to de- struction in the war zone around the British Isles, had no effect on the traveling public. It was estimated that more than 3,000 persons had l1eserved saifngs today. Other Ships Sailing.

Almost from the first Mr. Guits realized that his affliction must even- tually prove fatal but he bore up with great fortitude, attracting the ndmn:- ation as well 'as . sympathy of his friends and acquaintances. He was a popular member of the Y. M. C. A. and an idea of his courage in the face of his terrible illness may be seen from the fact that on.December 3 he visited some of his friends at the as- sociation building and' confided to them that he had that day purchased a lot in Fairview cemetery, exhibiting the receipt signed by Superintendent { Gladden. | Mr. Guite was twenty-two years | of age and was a shirt cutter by trade, having been employed at the Parker i Shirt company.
