The reply of Germany to Pres.
Wilson's note in regard to the
sinking of the Lusitania and the
promiscuous use of submarines,
is not responsive to the points
raised. They argue that they
have a right to do anything to
anybody that will help their war
efforts. Their argument is that
the Lusitania carried munitions
of war intended to be used to kill
their soldiers, and they were JUS
tilted in destroying it and anyone
ON board, to prevent the supplies
going to their enemy.
They seem to argue that they
are justifiable in doing anything
to enemy or neutrals that will
help their cause. Perhaps they
have forgotten that had they not
forced the conflict and initiated
the war that peace would not
have been disturbed. The neu-
trail nations have rights and very
sacred ones, which no beligerent
power dare invade and continue
in the class of civilized nations.
Ii Germany expects to win her
victory at the sacrifice of the lives
and treasury of neutral nations:
if they think for their preserva-
ton the rights of no people are
to be respected, and all the neu-
trail powers of the world must sit
still and permit such a course,
then it can be said one military
nation rules the world. Just
what Pres. Wilson will do will
not be done for few days.
The American people want their
rights. All the neutral powers
expect such course pursued as
will protect them as we'll as this
government.

whole matter. In the meantime
the people have petitioned for a
recall of all the municipal officers.
This is the first time such a step
has been taken in Tennessee.

too late to save much of their
