Kultur and Murder.

From the Memphis Commercial-Appea.
The American passengers on the Lusi-
tania were murdered. The act was a
low form of assassination. The ship
was unarmed and the passengers were
unarmed. They had neither weapons OF
defense nor opportunity to escape. They
were helpless when they were killed
They did not get a dogs chance. There
will be many who will defend this act
The brutishness Of the deed will appeal
to a savage quality which ages of
civilizing attrition have not effaced
from the souls of some men. The thor
oughness Of the methods of the slayers
and the efficiency of the means en-
ployed will be accepted as another evil
dence of German kultur. Hermann Rid
der, who once on a time denounced
German imperialism. has already light

declared that the warning to Ameri-

The American Duty.
From the New York Globe.

With respect to the piratical destruc-
tion of the Lusitana it is not necessary
to suspend judgment pending ascer-
tainment of the facts. The facts speak
for themselves. Non-combatant Ameri-
can citizens. peacefully pursuing a
journey they had full right under in
ternatonal law to make, have been as
sassinated. In mad defiance of the
usages of civilized nations, which re-
quire that warning and opportunity
to save themselves shall be given to
the passengers and crews of merchant
vessels, and in the face of the explicit
warning by this country that the Ger
man government would be held to
strict accountability" for the conse-
quences of departure from this humane
rule, the agents of the German kaiser
have committed wholesale murder.
Weeks of investigation would not add
any new material fact to our present
knowledge. The practical question be
fore this country and its people is what
our government is going to do to Sc
cure redress for the slaughter OF Its
citizens and to prevent the recurrence
of similar events in this war or any

Americans Should Keep Cool.

From the St Louis Times.
Whether the official warning of the
German embassy in this country is suf-
f1cient to cover this ground is the mat
ter that must be thrashed out There
are many other phases OF the ques-
ton which must be known and con-
sidered before public opinion should
be nodded, included among them the
question as to whether England gave
ample protection to the vessel, in its
own waters. by conveys and the like
and whether there was Justification

No Defense for Germany.
ON the ST. Ioui. Glob. Democrat.

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
Granting the force of the German de-
fenses. can IT be said that Germany, or
any other nation. is justified in de-
stroying the lives Of Americans. men
and women and children. who are TAX
ing no part in this war. who are peace
full passengers upon an unarmed ship?
IT is a grave question. and its gravity
is increased by the fact that II is the
elimination of a series of attacks upon
American ships, less defensible in a
legal sense, than the affair of the Lusi-
tania But this is no time and no occa-
sion for jingoism Profoundly as the
people OF this country are impressed
by the horror of this disaster. we real
ize that the Lusitania Is not another

England, and that our government
should be depended upon to exact such
reparation as we may have the right

The Great American Spirit.
Paul Pioneer-Press

From the St Paul Pioneer Press.
Patience and forbearance are the
handmaids of national courage and
intelligence. No one could be SO mis-
taken as to confound with cowardice
or timidity the spirit in which the
American people received the news Of
the destruction Of the Lusitania and
the loss of scores of American lives by
the attack without warning of Ger
man submarine. In no other nation
on the face of the earth could SO pro-
foundly thrilling piece of intelli-
gence fall with the same character of
effect Stirred to the depths, Ameri-
cans became neither hysterical with ex-
citement nor palsied with apprehen-
sion They received the shock with
indignant surprise. but they were not
swept from their mentl balance by un-
controlled passion. No situation could
arise with which they felt nuable to
cope. That is the spirit that controls
and animates the people of the United
States today.

What Is Accountability?

From the ST. Paul Dispatch.
Strict accountability" is a hne
phrase. But what does it mean In our
relations with Germany? A civlllan
who takes life cannot restore 1t. HIS
is discharged by the
surrender of his own life or liberty.
No sum of money. no degree of apol-
ogy, is credited toward the discharge
of this accountability. When nation
takes life without justification IN law
to what character of accountability
may it be held? Can it clear itself
by the payment of cash? Or does ac-
mean an eye for an eye,
a tooth for a tooth and a life for a
life? Is it balanced by expression OF
regret, remorse or abject apology II
it is acknowledged that accountability
without the willingness to back it up
by force of arms is farce, does that
mean that we are under obligation to
declare war in order to redeem our
faces in the present situation? 1t does
not International law has gone to the
dogs. There is no international sys-
tenn of protection for neutrals. Ac-
ceptance of this plain fact may spare
us the great error which now turks
at the throat of civilization.

The Way America Feels.
From the Troy Times.

The American people as a whole.
friendly as they are to all the com
batants, profoundly desirous of pre-
serving the strictest neutrality and
ready to extend the helping hand to
the suffering of all old world coun-
tries, feel that the destruction of the
Lusitania, with the inevitable loss of
American lives, is the elimination of a
series of occurrences showing cynical
disregard of American interests. This
view NAV he modified by assurances
and explanations from the German
but at present the exist
ence of such feeling in the American
mind is indsputable.

Warning No Justification.
rom the Birmingham News

from the B1rmlnSham news.
In Birmingham yesterday the one
topic of conversation was the Lusi
tania horror. On every hand the act
was severely condemned. Many persons
of pro-German sympathies were indig-
nant In the minds Of some persons,
however. was found a confusion as to
the weight of mitigation which should
be attached to the official warnings
lately given in advertisements in New
York papers and also privately to per-
sons who were about to sail on the
Lusitania. They were those who ar
gued that no American should have
sailed on that vessel after those public
and private warnings. The opinion of
all the world outside of Germany is
condemning this act of barbaric war
fare in unstinted terms. 1t is causing
tremendous revulsion of opinion
against the German cause, and espe-
cially against the dominant spirit of
the German government. The report
that Won Tirpitz. the head Of the Ger
man navy, is receiving thousands of
kilograms of congratulation amazes the
bulk of outraged American citizenship:
they cannot comprehend the state Of
mind that the authors of such tele-
grams are in. that they could gloat
over an act that would have shamed
the hardened visages of all the pirates
the world has known. There is no
doubt that American opinion 10 tre-
mendously inf1amed over this affair.

From The Milwaukee, Journal.
The sinking of the Lusitania, with
consequent loss of American lives
comes as a great and almost unprece-
dented shock to the nation. 1t makes
still more tense, still more menacing
situation that has caused alarm
among all thoughtful men. Because
of this emotion. this shock and this
danger it is more necessary than ever
for Americans to take a firm grip upon
themselves and to win and retain self
mastery. 1t is imperative that they
do this. 1t is no time for excited talk
and reckless declamations. Clear
heads. good sense and calm thinking
and reasoning are absolutely required

Accumulation Of Effrontery.
ON the louisville Courier-Journal.

From the Louisville Courier Journal
One other consideration that Ger
many will find 1t difficult to ignore will
be the provisions of the treaty be-
tween the United States and Prussia,
which Germany herself recalled in the
recent note to the State Department
concerning the sinking of the Frye.
That treaty. supposing the circum-
stance OF one nations being at war
while the other remained neutral, pro-
vided: g" all persons belonging
to any vessel of war who shall molest
or injure in any manner whatever the
people, vessels or effects of the other
party, shall be responsible in their per-
sons and property for damages and in
terest." Nothing could be palmer than
the case of the United States upon
these three grounds. 1t is a position
fortified in such manner as to support
the most energetic measures that could
be conceived at Washington. A viola
tion of the rules of the sea, resulting
in death to American citizens; the bold
est disregard of a plain admonition
against the murder of Americans; the
counting of demands for satisfaction
provided for in a solemn treaty agree
ment. Here is an accumulation of ef-
frontery about which 1t will be diff
cult to speak temperately. The occa-
sion is weighty and critical in the ex-

Cannot Be Terrorized.

From the Duluth News-Tribune.
What President Wilson will do no
one can tell. but we all know he will
not act hastily nor on impulse. That
he will find an insistent demand that
American life shall be made safe on the
high seas from such attacks is already
evident. That he will have the united
support of the people in whatever
measures he may take to this end Is
equally certain. In the meanwhile
there is no question of "calmness" or
''poise." but neutrality does not obli-
gate a people not to express their opin-
ion and in no other way can the Presi-
dent know public opinion. There can
be no question of American feeling.
This country cannot be terroriZed.
Throughout this country there is but
one judgment and there is and should
be no hesitancy in expressing 1t. 1t
utterly condemns this action of Ger
many and it's past disregard of all rules
of war and humanity as wholly barba-
rous, uncivilized and beyond the pale.
The first consequence is to lose her all
sympathy in this war and to bring a
new dread of any conclusion Of it that
would make Germany, through victory,
master Of the world.

CONTROVERSY OVER USE
Of TELEGRAPH WIRES
I. c. c. Is Asked to Confine the Leas-
ing to Press Associa-
tions.

Opposition to leasing telegraph wires
to others than press associations has been
registered with the interstate commerce
commission by the Postal Telegraph Com
pany and the Grain Receivers Association
of Chicago The American Telephone and
Telegraph Company defends the practice.
The briefs were filed with the commits
sion in connection with its investigation
of private wire contracts, particularly
those with brokers and others than news
papers and press associations.
Postal Company's Brief.
The brief Of the Postal company
charges that the root of evil in the pres
ent situation is the operation by the
American company Of telephones over a
leased telegraph circuit It says this prac-
tice is irregular and discriminatory, and
amounts to free telephone service, and
should be abolished. Leasing telegraph
circuits to brokers, the Postal contends,
should be prohibited, and the use Of tele-
graph circuits (other than newspaper and
press associations) should be restricted
to the business of one concern at rates
fixed by the commission.
Takes the Other View.
The American company's brief says
that it is just as impossible for a tele-
phone or telegraph company to render
service without classification as it
would be for modern railroad to do
SO. and adds that leased wire contracts
were made in response to public de-
mand. and that no one questions the
right to make such contracts. It says
the leased-wire service is not compar-
able to the public-message service. be
cause the lessee assumes responsibility
and pays the expenses Every one who
applies. 1t declares. can get this kind
of service
Quotes Statements Of Witnesses.
The brief cites statements of witness
es before the commission who said
their business might be injured or
wrecked If the private wire leasing
system is abolished.
The brief for the Grain Receivers
Association asserts that private wires
are available only to the few that the
service is highly preferential and that
large industries availing themselves of
such wires get a telephone service that
is cheaper quicker and better
