Count von Bernstorff expresses deep regret
Washington May 10 Count von Bernstorff the German ambassador today expressed deep regret that the war event led to the loss of many American lives in a written statement after a call at the state department. The form and mandate of the apology remained unclear. President Wilson isolated himself, preferring to work alone in the White House. Ally leaders and neutral powers weighed the implications as the Lusitania tragedy continued to unfold. A consular tally in Queenstown reported permanent records of the disaster, with many unidentified bodies to be buried in three vast graves as funeral rites progress. Several survivors and officials from New York and other cities began to reach London to claim bodies and oversee repatriation efforts.
