The tendency of American news
papers to inlammatory writing rela-
tive to the sinking of the Lusitania
is not wise and is not justified by
all the facts surrounding the case.
England made war on Germany be-
cause she thought the interests of
Great Britain were on that side and
England was the first to- establish
war zone in the North sea. Later
England undertook to cut off the
German civilian food supply. Ger
many retaliated by submarine war
fare on British shipping but gave
worldwide notice Of her intention
and repeated the warning oyer and
over to the neutral nations. Eng
land is more responsible than Ger
many for the conditions and circnm-
stances that led to the loss of Ameri-
can lives on board the Lusitania.
The English attempt to starye the
German people appears to have fail
ed and she might well long ago have
accepted the German offer to stop
the submarine warfare il England
would lift the embargo on non-con-
traband commerce. 1t was fair OF
fer and England is criminally re
eponsible for the loss of lives that
has ensued. England has persisted
in wrong course in the hope of
embroiling the United States and
other neutral nations in trouble with
Germany. England having so far
failed to cope with Germany is today
eagerly hoping that the Lusitania
horror will call the great resources
of the United States to her assist
ance. 1t would be the most monu-
mental piece of folly for the United
States to yield to the desires of Eng
land in sudden burst OF anger that
ought to bear equally on England
and Germany and would. but for the
fact that the preponderance of
American feeling tends naturally to
the race from which the most of us
came. Not only is England largely
responsible for the conditions which
brought the tragedy but with the
mightiest navy the world has ever
seen she has assured the world that
transatlantic travel was safe and
then failed to take ordinary precau-
tons TO make her word good All
this is no apology for Germany. On
Germany must rest the opprobrium
of sacrificing innocent lives TO strike
at her foe. 1t is a moral blot to des-
cend to the warfare of sayages even
to strike at an enemy-that has drop
ped to the same level. President viii
son should make dignified but ener-
getic protest to both Germany and
England for their excuses which
have led to the loss of American
lives. Also hereafter American off
cials and port officers should be EN-
to compel the shipment OF
war and contraband material only on
ships which do not carry passengers
and which are owned or insured by
the countries which buy the goods
At the same time passenger traffic
and mail service under the American
flag should be maintained with
Great Britain, France, Russia, Ger
many and Austria, conveyed and
protected by American ships of war

A good many cases of irritation OF
the skin during the winter months are
due to spending SO much time in rooms
in which the atmosphere is too dry.
This can be easily overcome by keep
ing dish of water on the heater all
the time and filing the water pan in
the furnace frequently Another ad
vantage of moist air in living or work
ing rooms is that when this condition
prevails several degrees less heat
seem to be required to make the air
comfortable.
