LAstly a link of Interest on the Lustiana from the Great war Forum
https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/284 ... lusitiana/

Questions:
1) What were the missing Signal messages from room 40?
2) What was the so called Lard, Butter and Cheese destined to the Royal Navy's Weapons Testing Establishment?
Although the Lusitiana did have a leggimate cargo of furs...it also had a another cargo of "Furs" from Dupont de Nemours, an explosives manufacturer!
Could this Lard, Butter, Chesse and Furs be powdered aluminum and bronze and ammonal.?

Remarks the Germans sinking a ship with contraband were right but the British won the propaganda war with the US Public making it less neutral and less pro-german {Although the last was the release of the Zimmeran telegraph that tipped the balence against Germany}
