The President therefore will not com.
municate with Secretary Bryan or Ci.

consult with members of the cabinet

He probably will submit his policy
to the cabinet Monday or Tuesday.
Meantime, public opinion is expect
ed to crystalline and help point the
way.
Don't Rock the Boat.
Secretary Bryan merely said:
This is no time time to rock the

single phrase expressed the desire Of
Washington administration that pro-
JUDGES and passions be not thrust
into unstable equilibrium while the
government endeavored to learn all,
the details.
Carried No Guns
One important fact definitely ascer-
tanned by New York port authorities
who gave clearance to the Lusitania
is that she carried no guns, either
mounted or unmounted, in accordance
with the caution of the State de-
partment to the British government
early in the war. This disposed Of
the claim that the German submarine
had right to attack the Lusitania
because she was an auxiliary or con.
verted cruiser The appalling nature
of the disaster was apparent in the
demeanor of high officials. They wele
grieved and sick at heart. They
made no formal expression of their
feelings, preferring to maintain sill
ence until the American government
is ready to speak on humane as we'll
as the legal aspects of the case.

ANTICIPATES NO CHANGE.

Boise, May S.-United States Sena-
tor Borah, member of the senate for

81 do not anticipate any decisive ac-
tion or any change in the policy upon
the part of Washington authorities,
based on the sinking Of the Lusitania." "
'That the disaster and loss of lives
of the American citizens will be calcu-
lated ordinarily to arouse great feel.
ing throughout this country, but to my
mind the sinking of the ship upon
which happens American citizens, is
by no means to be compared with the
act of hunting out, robbing, ravishing
and numbering Aemrican citizens
found in a neighboring country.
"We have lost more citizens in Mex
leo than we will lose on the Lusitania.
AS our policy with reference to Mexi-
co seems to be we'll settled and ac-
cepted, there is no possible reason
why we should apply different policy
toward Germany.

fair.
