Germany is an example of perfec-
ton in efficiency in its activities and
factor in the triumph of world
wide learning. But the Empire has
not held 10 the moral obligation TO
civilization.
The singing of the Luscitania with
out warning was something, whatever
legal rights or international law may
have had to do with it, that shocked
the moral law, and was in defiance
of the duty to others.
above all law there is the higher
law of humanity, that cannot be sub
gidiary to any such action as this.
Germany could better have lost the
Lusitania. than have attacked 1t as it
did, than to have lost the prestige and
position which It has experienced in

voted its energies to all humanity as
