AMERICA TO KEEP
PEACE WITH KAISER
PRESIDENT WILSON IN SPEECH
AT PHILADELPHIA GIVES
HIS IDEAS.
SPECIAL EXAMPLE TO WORLD
To Convince Germany of Injustice to
Mankind in Sinking of Lusitania-
Patriotism Runs High-Speech
to 1000 Naturalized Citizens.

Philadelphia, May 10.-President
Wilson gave to gathering Of 1000 nat
uralized Americans tonight the first
intimation Of what course the United
States government will pursue in the
situation resulting from the loss of
more than 100 American lives on the
British liner Lusitania.
He spoke by implication, but his
hearers interpreted his remarks as
meaning that while the United States
will remain at peace, it would seek to
convince Germany of the injustice to
mankind of the tragedy of last Friday.
Example Must Be Special.
America" said the president, must
have the consciousness that on all
sides it touches elbows and touches
heart with all nations of mankind
"The example of America must be a
special example and must be an exam
pie not merely of peace because it will
not fight, but because peace is heal
ing and elevating influence of the
world, and strife is not. There is such
thing as man being too proud tc
fight. There is such thing as ma
ton being so right that it does not
need to convince others by force that
it is right
These remarks precipitated tumult
of applause and patriotic enthusiasm
emphasized by waving of small Amer
lean flags. The president made no di
rect reference to the Lusitania trag
edy, but the audience did not hesitat.
to read the application of his state
ment.

side centers of population, the work of
meeting this form of competition
should be less difficult to the aggres-

to be misplaced.

government:
"The Sunard liner Lusitania was
torpedoed by a German submarine and
sank.
"The Lusitania was naturally arm
ed with guns, as were recently most Of
the English mercantile steamers
Moreover, as is well known here, she
had large quantities of war munitions
in her cargo.
Her owners, therefore, knew to
what danger the passengers were ex-
posed. They alone bear all the re-
sponsibility for what has happened.
Germany, on her part, left nothing
undone repeatedly and strongly to
warn them. The imperial ambassador
in Washington even went so far as to
make a public wartime so as to draw
attention to this danger. The English
press sneered then at this warning,
and relied on the protection of the
British fleet to safeguard Atlantic traf-
fic."
