THE LUSITANIA.
An "Open Letter" to Mr.. Wilson.

PRESIDENT WusoN-Sir. The loyal
citizens Of the United States are, in this
worlds crisis. looking to their Presi-
dent TO take the prompt and decisive
measures required TO maintain the honor
and the dignity OF our country.
They want to feel assured that the
United States will fulfil the obligations
that belong to 1t as the greatest OF the
neutral nations.
y league OF neutral States ought now
10 be constituted under the leadership
OF the United states, and this league
should call to strict account the ma
ton which through repeated criminal
actions has placed itself outside of the
pale OF civilization.
Germany must he made to realize
that the power to capture does not and
cannot carry with II the right to kill.
Mr. Ridder reminds us this morning
IN he StGdtS-Zettun1 that due notice
vas given of the risk to be incurred.
under present war conditions, by pas
sengers on the north Atlantic. The fact
that the German Ambassa dor. possess
ing full knowledge OF the barbarous
policy OF his Government and having
possibly also been Informed OF the spe-
cinc plan for the application OF such
policy, saw At to caution American
travellers that there was risk In jour
neying to England does not lessen the
responsibility for the murder o, these
travellers.
Jack the Ripper has given notice tina,
he proposes TO continue his slaughter
Of the inrocents. but this notice will
hardly avail to save him from the usual
penalty for murder.
The murderous intent OF the assaiI-
ants of the Lustania is indicated by the
fact that. instead OF simply disabling
the vessel, az could easily have been
a, ,mplished by a torpedo blow for
ward. which would have given oppor-
tuuty for saving the passengers by
Bleaching or 10y the boats. sho was struck
In four places so that she sank in
few minutes.
II was evidently the purpose 10 bring
about the largest possible loss Of life
The thoroughness of the German dis
cipllne warrants the conclusion that
as was the case with the burnlngs and
shootings in Belgium, not only the at
tack itself but the method pursued was
In accord with specific instruction from
the Kaiser.
American citizens have the right to
depend upon their Government for pro-
lection, and the representatives OF those
Americans Who have been murdered look
to the President and TO Congress to So
cure due redress
The people should have an oppor-
tu.ity Of expressing themselves through
their representatives In Congress as
sembled at once In special session.
Suggestions for similar action on the
par. Of the other neutral States should
be given ~ once through our represent
atlves In Stockholm. Chriscianla, CO.
penhagen and The Hague
Americans are prepared to give cor
dial support 10 their Government in wise
firm and courageous action.

The Hohenzollern Motive.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuH-Sir. The
recent atrocities OF the German Govern
ment come, II would seem, clearly within
the category OF wrongs which their own
representative at The Hague character
lied as those which international law
does not need TO legisla;e against. since
they fall under the instant and universal
condemnation OF mankind. Failure 10
take aggressive action on the part OF
President Wilson means not merely the
abandonment OF our past demands but
the renunclation OF our future rights.
IL Is clear that the Kaiser at hrs,
Influenced by q subconscious belief that
he IL accountable only TO God. Whose
instrument on earth he claims TO bs.
now fears that the end OF tho Hohen-
zollern dynasty 10 at hand and that he
will be stripped OF his power. The i'm
polite acts OF madness and crime Of
which ne is guilty not only have alien
ated from him the support OF his former
friends throughout the world but indi-
cate that their desperate character could
only be inspired by his own sense OF
desperation. what tho Kaiser and the
representatives OF the German media
tized families are fighting for Is their
own political lie. and this personal mo-
tive Ia involving the whole world II
would seem az II some concerted action
by tho neutral nations should be taken
under the leadership OF the United
state TO curb this Prusslan paranoiac.
