DR.. GREER ADVISES CALM
Bishops Words Seconded BY
Rev. DR.. Merrill.

Look at that pile of kilograms, w
was Bishop Greer's response to in
quiries made yesterday morning con-
corning what, in view Of his well
known peace views, he believes the
United States should do in regard to
the Lusitania's sinking. Then he said:
The situation is grave one. We
ought to be careful what we say.
would not trust myself at this time
to say anything. That is my answer
to all of these inquiries. l have my
own views about war and peace, and
they have not been changed by recent
events, but this is situation IN which
all are involved 1t is time for calm
ness, | think not for words"
Asked yesterday If he had anything
10 say about the Lusitania incident,
in spite of the fact that he did not
refer to it in his sermon in the Brick
Presbyterian Church, either morning
or afternoon. the Rev. DR.. William p.
Merrill, said: This is a time to be
quiet and calm"

pedoing of the Lusitania,
Says German Diplomat.

Washington, May 9.-"Germany is
fighting for her life. That mus. be
borne in mind in considering the tor
peLoing of the Lusitania. !, Germany
can prevent shipments of ammunition
from the United States reaching the
Allies she can whip their armies"
That was the staten, made by a
German diplomat in Washington to-
night.
The German government has posi-
tive information," said this diplomat,
that the onslaught Of the Russian
forces in the Carpathians was broken
By the German armies, not because Of
superior lighting, as we might be
pleased to believe, but because the
Russian army was reduced to mob
armed merely with dubbed rifles.
Their ammunition, bott for artillery
and lilies, had absolutely given out,
so there was nothing for them t do
but flee for their lives when the Ger
man army began to shoot.
The terrible defeat inflicted on the
Russian army in .he northeastern Ger
man lake region, earli> in the war,
was due to the same cause. Tha ex-
PLANTATION also makes clear the capture
of such large numbers of Russia s.
They were defenceless, so the Germans
did not shoot them down.

Germany not justified in doing almost
anything to prevent tremendous ship
ments Of ammunition, 10 be used
against her own sons on the field Of
battle, from reaching England?
at must be remembered that the
LusltanIa was carrying a tremendous
shipment Of ammunition O. England.
Despite the statement OF the British
Admiralty, IL was common knowledge
also that she was armed. Il will bs
difficult 70 prove that now, with nd

waters. II il should develop that tha
Lusitania was sunk without the warn
ings which have been given some other
vessels in this submarine blockade. that
will be a sufficient explanation for IL.
II a submarine had shown herself 70

she would have been sent TO the bot

warning was given. and shall believe
until | hear official denial that
such warning was extended. Even
now, however, effective as the subma-
rine blockade of England has proved 70
be. / have no doubt that Germany will
still be willing to DO what she origi-
nally proposed 10 the United States

"The United States has declared that
10 impose embargoes while war is IN

starve under such a plan, without
making an attempt at least 70 prevent
munitions of war from being carried
