Today I learned that an American Playwright and Novelist died aboard the Lusitania. He was on his way to London to try to sell his play "Hyphen" hoping it would be more successful than here in America. Before he left, a man with a thick German accent called and tried warning him. For anyone not aware, the Lusitania was the ship sunk that brought the US into WWI. This whole story is weird to me, because this was NOT an important man by ANY means. My guess as to why he was warned is at the time the US was sympathetic to both sides, so I would assume Germany got ahold of the passenger list and tried to warn various Americans to try to avoid angering us.
