/S THIS NATION WAR-MAD7

The sinking of the Cun&rd Line Lusitania by a Gertnai. subinc last Friday has stirred the usual calmness o! the American ||*ople. A spirit of hatred against the German nation is perticu^**rly manifest, and the Press, disturbing though it may be to American neutrality, is decidedly favorable toward the Allies. The sinking' of the Lnsitania has been called murder,

ere, butchery, and other pleasant things. None have during the summer •‘mouth*, and rly called it a disaster caused by a deliberate disregard by Juu .favor,muywd

ind of the German war rone and threat

Let ns look at the disaster in a dispassionate light The Lusitania was an English shiji. She carried thousands of

cartridges—contraband of war—to aid the Allies ; each cartridge

it death, perhaps, in the field of battle to a sou of Germany, not Germany, therefore, jnstified in destroying this ? Nc one condemned the Allies for their starvation policy toward

Germany.

The LusiUnia was a British cruiser, at any time liable to be j called by the Government, armed, rjid sent into the great naval

battle against Germany.

The German Government spent $25,000 advertising a warning travellers in the war zone tci use only the ships of neutral nations, j if this warning was disregarded and laughed at, those travellers, American and otherwise, took their lives in their own hands.

Is not Britain a little tc blame ? Let us see.

The commander of the Lusitania, Captain Turner, admits that he received warning, and disregarded it No protection was fur- " jj^-UsiLiuia against the submarine peril by the British u usDi. It is an unwritten law that warring nationzarejnsti-!^ in destroying vessels whose cargo includes contraband of war. 0 Knowing this, why did Britain mix its freight of warring material j* 1

for the Allies with its human freight ?

| The destruction of the Lnsitania was an entirely justifiable act on the part of Germany. The only point on which she Iras laid heraelf open to criticism was that she made no effort to save the lives particularly the American lives—of the non-combatants on board. And even this, strictly speaking, she was not called upon to do, alter giving all a lair warning, before sailing, wliat might be expected. Why, then, this talk of war with Germany ? Why wholesale coademnation of Germany’s action in sinking an English cruiser,

' ''for the protection of its own sous in battle ?

|. All eyes are turned to Washington, and a war-mad nation, urged on by press, public, and, unfortunately, pulpit, is eagerly awaiting the result of the White House deliberations. The people of this nation will support the President in anvL4hing that he docs, however, and it is safe to say that the present

crikic will Ire surmounted without war.

I TRANS-A TLANTIC TRAVEL IN WAR TIMES. The sinking of that gorgeous combination of speed, science and luxury, the steamship Lusitania, will put a stop to all transf Atlantic travel until the war is over. A good many Americans who ‘ travel Europe have been itching to get across and feel the thrill of war scenes. They must see now that any such trip, with the fiends

of bell loose on the ocean, is an arl of folly.
