Queenstown, where many-survivors of
the Lusitania were sheltered and
cared for when they were rescued
from the.ocean, reached New York
today, a voluntary exile from Great
Britain. '
Mr. Humbert, although a‘ naturaliz-

birth. This fact aroused so much
' criticism from the friends of the Lusi

found it almost. impossible to remain
in Queenstown, notwithstanding his
scrupulous care to deport himself
above suspicion. He left home to
avoid. further unpleasantness and
possible trouble.
