CALLS STATEMENT
INSOI.ENT AND BRITA l.
[Snecial 10 The Timcs.pisnatch.l

Especial to The Times Dispatch.]
NEW YORK. May off DR.. Dern-
burg has said that the sinking OF tho
Lusitania was justifiable, he has uttered
a statement that is insolent and brutal,
and Immediately raises the question
whether he should BIO deported as an
undesirable alien under the immigration
Ia vs." said Frederick r. Coudert, the
international law expert. tonight.
The time has come when the United
States should consider the dangers of
extending it's hospitality to foreigners
who abuse 1t. The French ambassador.
Genet. was recalled from the United
States for less than has happened here
within the last few months.
"Gcrmany's slaughter of American
women and children in the torpedoinr
OF the Lusitania is only Il part of the
Prussian military doctrine of seeking
control of the world through tcrroriz-
ing all who happen to get in the way
There is only one way: the United
States must insist that Germany make
full amends for the Gulfight tragedy
and the killing OF Americans aboard
the I'usitania. If Germany refuses and
continues her present insolent course,
there is only one answer: declaration
of war
we made war on England for much
less. England did not sink our ships
and kill our citizens. She simply in
sisted on searching our ships. Yet
we would not tolerate the humiliation
We declared war, although we were a
far weaker nation than at the present
time.
NO self-respecting nation that has
ever existed would tolerate tho insults
which we have received from Germany
without prompt apology of war.
Belgium. which is far smaller and
weaker than the United States, would
not stand for Germany's violation of
her rights. DO We want to assume the
attitude of China, which is too help
less to protect herself?
Germany is responsible for the death
or Americans aboard the Lusitania.
Claims should be brought against Ger
many by this country. We should not
accept any compromise. for there can
be none. Tho only alternative would
be arbitration by The Hague tribunal
along lines similar to the proceedings
by which the Alabama claims were
settled"

CAPTAIN TURNER THOUGHT
SHIP COULD MAKE COAST

oUEENsTowN. May 9.-captain
Turner. after the first torpedo was
fired, and following an examination,
declared that the lifcboats should not
be lowered, as the ship was in a con-
ditton to make the Irish coast"
This statement was made to-day by
James I.cary, OF Brooklyn. who de-
clares he heard the captain say his
snip was not mortally hurt
Leary says the captain ordered an
examination after the first shock
"On receiving the report he said
he had closed certain bulkheads which
would render the ship seaworthy long
enough to reach an Irish port, and that
consequently he would not order tho
lowering of the boats" said Leary.
Captain Turner had barely finished
speaking when second explosion was
heard. Within five minutes | was in
the sea.
Two things I fail to understand
why the order for the general lower
ing OF the boats was not given, and
why ships are not provided with a
convoy when so close TO the Irish
coast"
No passengers could be found who
had seen submarine after the tor
pedoes were fired.

MINIATURE ALMANAC.
JEWISH FLOWER DAY
Madame Bcilah Pcvsncr to speak He
fore Herzl Zionist Club.

One OF the most beautiful and SYM
holic Jewish holidays has been revived
by the Zionists. when the Jewish Flow
er Day was designated by them and an
copied by the world Jewry
1t Is upon that day that the national
consciousness of the Jewish people is
accentuated and the national RESPONSE
bility for their afflicted brethren in the
oppressed countries is more keenlv felt.
The Flower Day Is the symbol Of
rcjmvenation OF Israel upon the HOLY
Land, there, where the Hebrew genius
can develop to its highest extent with
out restriction or imitation.
Within very short while, only cigh-
teen years, a waste barren country as
Palestine was then, has been trans
formed by Jewish energy and endeavor
into thriving communities and colonies
all of them leading an independent and
self-supporting existence, bringing
honor to the Jewish name and also
nearing the. solution OF the Jewish
question.
1t is on the Flower Day. that the
long dreamed wish OF the Jewish
people, and the constant chanted pray
ers of Israel the return OF the Jews
TO the Holy Land, seem to take shape.
The wish and the prayers are trans
formed into actual work. as on that
day collections are made for the Jew
ish national fund. which Is the factor
OF redeemins Palestine, by colonizing
Jews in the Holy Land, establishing
schools and encouraging Jewish arts
and craftsmanship.
The Herzl Zionist Club Of Richmond
is arranging an elaborate festival to
take place on Sunday, May 16. at s
o'clock, at the Mechanics Institute,
Eleventh and Broad Streets, and has
invited the famous Zionist orator and
woman lecturer, Nine. Bellah Pevsncr,
of Palestine, to address the audience.
Mime. Pcvsner has Travelled every con-
tinent Of the globe addressing mass
meetings and propogating Zionism.
a musical program has also been ar
ranged, including selections from Jew
ish melodies, by Rev. Cantor NIedvedofr;
overtures and selections, by Getzen's
Orchestra: violin solos by Miss Essie
lIhrstein and Harry Glass.
DR.. L. Karp. will preside outlining
| the work Of the Jewish national fund
and the duties of the Zonists in the
present crisis of the Jewish people at
the war zone. The public Is cordially
invited.
