The Lusitania Issue.

The ocean of passion is more
dangerous one on which to embark
than war-infested Atlantic. While
horror, grief, sympathy, anger and
regret rock the emotions of the nation
over the fate of American men and
women aboard the torpedoed Lusi-
tania, cool heads must reign In high
places, and dispassionate judgment
decide issues intimately related to
war;
at is a bad time to get ratified,
as Senator Stone says. LET us main
tain our equilibrium and not rock
the boat until we find out what we
are about"
The loss of one American life may
involve the same principle or the
same violation of rights as the loss
of 137-may involve our relations
with a foreign Government to the
same extent, though unattended by
the same embarrassments OF grief and
public resentment. 1t is when feel
ings are outraged rather than when
international law is outraged that
the most acute difficulties are pre-
scented. We cannot decide the Lusl-
tania case on horror, grief or pas
sion, but we must decide it upon the
inquiry of reason.
Senator Stone declares that it must
not be forgotten that our lost fellow
countrymen went aboard belllgerent
ship with full knowledge of the risk
and after official warning by the Ger
man Government. Says he:
"When on board British vessel
they were on British soil. Were they
in position substantially equivalent
to being in the walls of fortified
city? If American citizens stay
within city besieged or threatened
and the enemy attacks, what should
our Government do if our citizens
should be injured?"
1t is for the American Government
to decide in the light of all the facts
whether the innocent bystanders, so
to speak, were in a position giving
us a right to complain, or were by
ISLANDERS who crowded too close to a
fray sensible of it's dangers. Sym
pathize how we may, it must be
asked, were they deliberately court
ing danger?
1t has been a principle recognized
by this republic since Thomas Jetfer-
son laid it down-that reckless
citizen has no right to place himself
voluntarily and deliberately in a posi-
ton of peril which shall involve his
Government and imperil the peace OF
the millions at home.
Without reference to issues of fact
or rights or principles of international
law, but from the standpoint of broad
humanity the world over, the ruthless
sinking of great boat bearing
citizens of peace on peaceful errands
and many women and infants
must excite the profoundest sorrow
and resentment. 1t is an incident of
the wantonness of war that will be
borne long in the whole worlds
memory. Yet every patriotic Ameri-
can who is not passion-swayed be-
yond his power to think-and there
is a class of mollycoddles among the
jingoes that is carried off its feet
in every cruX with other nations
every thinking patriot, we repeat,
will indorse the judicial attitude of
the administration in seeking first the
full facts before demanding justice.
And the highest love of country COM
ports with the hope of peaceful So
lution.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

FRENCH GAINS
IN CHAMPAGNE
Wearing Down German
Reserves and Supplies,
Saws Observer.

London. March ga British OBJ
server with the French forces in the
field. who has the permission Of Gen
eral Joifre TO report on the work OF the
French army, has sent in to the Ohlclal
Press Bureau an account covering the
three weeks since February 10 in
Champagne. In the district midway
between Rheims and Nerdun, on
fighting front Of some five miles. he
SAYS, the French have been attacking
one point or another every day for
three weeks.
at is a sustained operation, Of
different kind 10 those which we nave
seen during the winter months" he
says "Those were local efforts, lasting
day or two, designed to keep the
enemy busy and prevent him from
withdrawing troops elsewhere. THIS
is sustained effort, made with the
object of keeping a constant pressure
on his first line of defence, of affect
ing his use of the railway from Bazan-
court 10 Challerange, few miles 10
the north, and Of wearing down his re-
serves of men and ammunition. II may
be said that February IS marks the
opening of the 1915 campaign, and that
this first phase will find an important
place when the history Of the war
comes to be written.
"The nature of the country is en-
tirely different TO that in which the
British army is fighting. Ii is one vast
plain, undulsting. the hills at most 200
feet higher than the valleys. with gen
tie slopes everywhere. The soil is
chalky. The only features are the pine
woods, which have been planted by
hundreds. AS each rise is topped a new
stretch OF plain, a new set Of small
woods appear, just like that which has
been left behind The villages are few
and small; most of them are in ruins
after the fighting in September, and
the troops live almost entirely in colo
nies of little huts of wood or straw,
about four feet high, dotted about IN
the woods, in the valleys. wherever
little water and shelter are obtainable.
"Up to the present the French have
made steady and continuous progress;
and their success may be best judged
from the fact that they have not been
forced back on any day behind the line
they held in the morning despite innu-
merable counter attacks. And this is
not merely question Of ground, but
one of increasing moral superiority;
for it is in the unsuccessful counter
attacks that losses are heavy; and
these and the sense of failure affect
the morale Of an army sooner or later.

U. S. FLAG SACRED
TO RESCUED TARS
Seventeen, Picked Up in North
Sea, Kneel as They Cheer
Emblem.

Over in the North Sea, near the Hook
Of Holland, where German submarines
and floating mines are likely TO blow
one into eternity at any moment, sew
enteen grateful sailormen representing
several natIonalities knelt upon the
deck of the American steamsh ip
Ocmulgee and cheered the American
ensign.
Captain Hart Of the Ocmulgee told
of the incident when he brought the
little freighter in yesterday from
Bremen, whittier he had gone TO dis
charge a cotton cargo.
One night on the eastbould journey
the skipper said his watch was aroused
off the Netherlands coast by the loud
cries OF human voices. and looking over
the side his men saw a lifeboat con-
tanning seventeen men from the steam
ship Lord Stratford. which had been
blown TO bits by German mine.
They were fed and clothed, and on
the following day were put ashore at a
fishing village on the Dutch coast. Be
fore leaving the Ocmulgoe the thankful
men dropped 70 their knees and praised
the Stars and Stripes. Impressed with
their gratitude, Captain Hart ordered
the flag dipped, and when the strangers
arose TO their feet the Ocmulgee's crew,
with barred heads, sang The Star
Spangled Banner"
Captain Hart said the Lord STRAIT
ford was a Norwegian steamship, but
the records show no steamship Of that
name.
The Ocmulgee was hard hit by storm
on the return voyage from Bremen.
From March 13 20 March % he said
she had run through series of gales
that gave little respite. She sprang
a leak, her engines were deranged and
Sc eral stanchions and ratings were
carried away and a blade ripped off
the propeller at the boss.
Captain Hart said the Germans
laughed at the way he slowed away his
sand ballast in Grated sections, but
this very ptecaution, he declared. kept
it from shifting and saved the Ocmul-
gee from being wrecked.

NORFOLK LOOKS FOR
DASH BY THE EITEL
But Washington Believes
the German Raider Will
Be Interned.
LBg reIesrsph TO TIC rr.bune. ]

Norfolk, Va, March 29.-That the
German raider Prinz Eitel Friedrich
intends to try TO escape from the Nir-
cinia Capes if favored by the weather
is the opinion of those here who have
closely watched the activities aboard
the steamship and the action of her
officers and crew. That this dash will
not be made during the next twenty
four hours is certain. as eight bellig-
erent ships cleared the capes for Eu-
ropeGn ports to-day, and under neu-
trality ru es the Eltel will not be al
lowed to put to sea until they have
had one days start.
The Prinz Eitel is still moored at her
dock with steam up. The cruiser has
been provisioned and coaled for any
emergency.
1t is said Captain Thierichens re-
ceived two dispatches to-day, believed
to be from the German Embassy at
Washington. One IS said TO nave
caused him great pleasure, and after its
perusal he called his officers into
council.
New-York tribune., 1915-03-30

Washington, March 29.-Naval Off
GERS here are almost a unit in the be-
lief that the Prinz Eitel will cruise no
more until the war is over. They think
Commander Thierchens is enjoying
the trouble to which he has put the
British and French cruisers patrol.ing
the Virginia coast, and IL merely await
ing the expiration of the time limit
given him for repairs before permitting
the Collector Of Customs at Newport
News to intern his snip.
Sir Cecil Spring Rice, British Am
bassador, called at the Navy Depart
ment to-day, and it is understood he
gave assurances that the warships o.
the Allies waiting for the Eitel would
not come within the three mile limit
or do anything else in violation o.
neutrality.
The British government had made
representations 20 the State Depart
ment that in allowing the Eitel to
dock, clean and be painted the port
authorities AT Newport News had not
observed the Hague treaty stipulation ;
against increasing the naval strength
Of the ship under such circumstances
Department officials. however. do not
accept this view.
The battleship Alabama, which left
Philadelphia this afternoon. IS due in
Hampton Roads early tomorrow to re-
inforce the two destroyers and the sub
marine on duty there. Ii was said tha.
in the event of storm the submarine
and destroyers could not maintain a

could do 10 protect themselves.
