 Express Sympathy
 The British and French ambassadors were at the state department late today to express their "horror and sympathy over the destruction of the Lusitania. It was made apparent that they had nothing to suggest as to the action of the United States. That America must settle her self directly with Germany for these facts. was the substance of opinion among the diplomatic representatives of the al lied powers.
 Chevalier Van Rappard, minister from Tho Netherlands, also called at the de- partment, and made it clear that the situation of his government is identical with that of the United States in rela- tion to the Lusitania.
 What will be the policy of the United States still Is giving wide range to specu- laton in official and semi-official circles.
 There is continued discussion here of the suggestion that the United States sever diplomatic relations with Germany without a declaration of war. but it is pointed Out that Sucn course WOulu nave serious effect on humanitarian work the United States has been conducting throughout the war.

 The calling of an extra session of Con gross so far as can be learned, does not seem to be a part of the Presidents plan of procedure. There has been no indi- cation of any such course up to this time. Throughout the day messages continued to pour into the White House from all parts of the country expressing confidence in the President or urging him to pursue various courses
 Considerable discussion developed in of- ficial circles over the attitude taken in Germany that the people of the United States were warned by the German gov ernment against going to Europe on bel ligerent ships.
 Secretary Bryan, asked about this and whether any warning had been given to Americans from the state department, said
 ,'T think I had better go no farther than to say that no warning was given.
 He added that the German government never called the department attention to the warning advertisement

LAST WORD ON CONSERVATION.

The necessity for conserving our ma
tional resources has been occupying
the attention Of our legislators, ma
tional and state. Laws have been en-
acted to protect our forests and our
water supply. Millions Of dollars have
been spent in controlling contagious
diseases among our domestic animals,
and to eliminate the boil weevil from
the southern cotton fields and the vari.
GUS blights from our fruit orchards.
What greater national resource has
our country than our boys and girls,
and why should not the government
protect them from the blight caused
by the use of intoxicating liquors?-
