 GOVERNOR OF OREGON

Salem, Ore, May 1.-The Lusita- mia horror may arouse resentment far-reachings enough to force an end of the European holocaust, but such an end will eliminate continued com petitive armament, with its assurance of further wars.
 Let us withhold denunciation until all the facts are before us. Above all, in these difficult hours, uphold the national administration to the fullest degree, so that it's course may be un- hampered by factional or partisan opposition.
 The United States, united for honor with reparation and a stern guarantee of it's citizens safety, if such be pos sib1e; but loyalty united to what may befalI is my message from Oregon.

 HOTHEAD COMMENT

Boston, May 514.-The people of Massachusetts are not sufficiently ex- pert in international law to venture an opinion as to whether this terrible act can or cannot be justified on the plea of military necessity; moreover, they believe it is their duty to refrain from embarrassing the president and his advisers by nasty and hotheaded comment, believing that the presi- dents request that genuine neutrality be observed applies to crisis like the present even more forcibly than to. less exciting times.
