Decorated, But for Doing What?

A dispatch printed by some of
our neighbors says that one Her.
sin, a Captain-Lieutenant in CON-
mand of a submarine, has just
been honored with the decora-
ton of the Order of Merit. The
news comes from Berlin, and the
inference of the papers receiving
it is that this is the man by whose
hand or whose direct order the
torpedo that sank the Lusitania
was sent on it's dreadful errand.
Perhaps the inference is cor
rect, but it's only apparent basis
is the fact that the special
achievement for which the Cap
ain-Lieutenant was awarded is
not revealed.
If Hersin had done almost
anything else as commander of a
submarine. it is almost unimagin-
able that what it was would not
have been told. But very easily
imaginable is it that if he did
sink the Lusitania. those whom
he served would give him his
hard-earned decoration without
telling the world the exact nature
of the service.
r When other men, for other
deeds, get medals and crosses,
there is no hesitation in advertis-
ing the quality of their prowess.
But the Lusitania-that is differ
emit! Too many women and chill
dren went down with her for any
body to be proud of her destruc-
ton. 1t seems unlikely that any
body will ever admit, outside of
a narrowly limited circle, that he
was her. destroyer.-New York
