Mr.. TAFT ADVISES CALMNESS
Stand by President Wilson in
Present Crisis.

Philadelphia, May 12.-Ex-President
Taft urged patience and calmness in
the present international situation and
stand by President Wilson in an ad-
dress at the Union League here to-
night. Referring to the sinking of the
Lusitania, Professor Taft said the
''inhumanity of the circumstances in
the case presses us on, but in the heat
of even just indignation is not the
best time to act, when action involves
such momentous consequences and
means untold loss of life and treasure
There are things worse than war"
Mr.. Taft declared, but delay due to
calm elaboration cannot change the
situation or minimize the effect of
what we finally conclude to do. With
the present condition of the war in
Europe our action, if it is to be ex-
IRENE, will not lose efficacy by giving
time to people, whose war it will be,
to know what they are facing.
Responsibilities of President.
Under our constitution the Presi-
Congress finds it necessary to declare
bility in such a crisis.
But we must bear in mind that If
we have war it is the people who
must pay with lives and money the
cost of it, and therefore they should
not be hurried into the sacrifice until
it is clear that they wish it, and know
what they are doing when they
wish it,

President Ready to SendStrong
Note to the German
Government.
STRICT ACCOUNTING is ASKED
Besides Making Full Reparation to
Americans, Teutons Must Give
NeutraIs Nations a Free Sea.

Washington, May 13--The United
States in a note to be sent to Germany
tomorrow demands a guarantee that
there will be no further attacks by
submarines on merchant ships carry
ing non-combatants. 1t serves notice
also that full reparation will be sought
for the loss of more than 100 American
lives in the sinking of the Lusitania,
and for other violations of American
rights in the sea zones of war.
The document was to have been
cabled tonight, but the President,
after conferences with Counselor Rob-
ert Lansing of the state department,
made several changes in legal detail
and then revised it alone in his study
tonight Tomorrow it will be dis
patched and it is expected to be made
public soon after.
While no indication is given of the
steps to be taken by the United States
in the event of an unfavorable reply,
The note informs the German govern
ment that the American government
will leave nothing undone either in
diplomatic relations or other action to
obtain a compliance with its requests.
No changes were made in the es-
sentials of the communication as form
ulated Sunday by the president and
approved by the cabinet yesterday.
Regarding the sinking of the Lusi-
tania and attacks on American ship
ping the communication says:
These acts are declared to be in
defensible under international law.
The United States points out that it
never admitted Germany's right to do
them and warned the imperial govern
ment that it would be held to 'tstrict
accountability" for attacks on Ameri-
can vessels or lives. strict account
ing, therefore, is now asked from Ger
many.

Angry British Demand Internment of
All Teutonic Citizens-Many Shops

London, May 13.-The following pc

Will be placed in the hands of Prime
Minister Asquith tomorrow:
Thousands of citizens of London
gathered together at a mass meeting
to unanimously protest against any
kith and kin of German mutilators,
prisoners and murderers of men, wo-
men and children being any longer
allowed to be at large in the British
Islands, and, fearing riots, fires, the
spread of disease germs and poisoned
water, hereby unanimously demand
that the government take immediate
steps to intern or deport all alien en-
emies, male or female, whatever their
nationality, naturalized or otherwise"
The sinking of the steamer Lusi-
tania has aroused to a violent climax
the smouldering hatred and suspicion
Of Germans living in England. This
animosity has found expression during
the last twenty-four hours in attacks
on Germans, principally upon their
shops in the poor quarters of London
and Liverpool while there have been
minor disturbances in Manchester,
Birkenhead, Glasgow and a few other
places.
Many German shops had their win
lows smashed and some were pillaged-
The proprietors of the shops generally
we're driven away by angry crowds.
None of the persons attacked are re-
ported to have been seriously injured,
but a considerable number were more
ar less beaten and had their clothes
torn One or two shops have been set
On fire by the rioters.

I feel the greatest sorrow and hor-

the cardinal last night. so many

tragedy. The American people must
be calm and prudent, it is best to
leave the destinies of the nation in
the hands of the president and the

Popular sentiment is not a stand
ard to be followed too hastily. The
calm deliberation of our national ex-
ecutive will lead to the best solution
of this question"
