NEUTRAL NATIONS EMPHATIC
IN CONDEMNING GERMAN ACT

ROME, via Paris, MAY lO.-The news
naners without distinction as to poll
tics strongly criticise German methods
in the sinking of the 1.usitania Even
the Osservatore Romano. which, al
though il is the Vatican organ. has not
previously concealed its German pro-
clivities. despite the fact that the Nati-
can is neutral, joins in the universal
nrotest of the Italian newspapers over
tho destruction of the liner.
The Messagero in it's editorial de-
clares that the sinking of the Lusi-
tania "is worse than battle lost for
Germany.
The Tribuna says that the reasons as
signed by Germany for the torpedoing
of the Lusitania further justify the
American government in protesting.
Cup Has Overlooked.
GENEVA, May 10, via Pars.--All the
Swiss newspapers express indignation
concerning the torpedoing OF the Gu
nard liner Lusitania
The Tribune de Geneve says: How
can our opinion remain neutral before
such nj abonpinable crime? Precisely
because we are neutral, we protest with

Proceeding to point out the various
reasons why the United States is little
able TO hold Germany to strict ac-
countability,' the Times says:
