Who's Most Guilty?

Now comes a speculator on the
Chicago board Of trade and says that
the farmers are responsible for the
present high price of wheat and it's
food products because they are holding
their grain. Shame on the farmers
Who would have thought they could
be so mean? Undoubtedly grain specu
lators have the notion that theirs is
the sacred right to hold grain for
higher prices. That is their little
game and they don't wish to have any
one else intrude on this, their self.ap.
pointed, special privilege. The charge
that farmers have combined to boost
the price of wheat is joke, of course
Individuals who can afford to do so
may be holding their wheat for better
prices. If so, we can't think of any
one who has greater right to do this
than the man who grew the grain.
Certainly he could do this with more
justice than the trader who buys grain
merely to squeeze someone else.-Ne.

CUNARD COMPANY
IS THE CRIMINAL
Military AttaChe Says 1t Had
No Business Carrying Pas
SengerS on a Ship Transport
ing War Supplies.

NEW YORK, May SIT is de-
plorable if true that so many lives
have been lost. 1 am shocked to hear
the news. especially that American
lives have been sacrificed.
But it was absolutely criminal FOR
the Cunard company TO carry-and
for the British government TO allow
the line TO carry-neutral passengers
in a ship which was transporting eX-
plosives and munitions of war 10 be
used by Great Britain and her allies.
This was the comment made by
Capt Franz Won Papen, military at
tache Of the imperial German en-
basSy. The captain vigorously de-
Tended Germany's right TO attack the
Lusitania under the circumstances.
THE ships manifest will show that
she carried a large amount Of picric
acid and other explosive materials %
he continued. They certainly were
not intended for peaceful uses. They
were TO be used against Germany and
Germany had 10 defend herself
against them. The best way was 10
destroy the ship and such destruc-
ton was amply justified under the
rules Of war
american and other neutral pas
sengers had due warning and a for
NAL warning by our embassy.
X II 10 De regretted InaL war Is
war Many deplorable things are
bound 10 happen. L regret this hap
pening and all Germans Will regret il.
But Germany was forced into war and
now she is forced to keep on fight
ing.
Americans who have not been
abroad do not understand what the
conditions are. You read in your pa
pers here Of 40. 600 Russians being
killed in one battle or of 10000 Ger
mans having lost their lives. You
can pass over that without a qualm.
But this incident Of the Lusitan
brings &c home TO you
''The only sentiment I have heard
among Germans is one of sorrow
that this loss OF life had TO be.
I have heard no jubilation. All Ger
mans. including those in the official
service are deeply sorry If American
lives have been lost. But as I have
said war Is war The LuMtania was
an enemy ship and was a legitimate
mark for our submarine-if il was a
submarine that sank her"

VIOLATION Of

Base Statements on Dis
patches That No Warning
Was Given LuSitania.

NEW YORK. May S.-Experts on
the relationship of the warning ma
tions Friday agreed in declaring the
|torpedoing of the Cunarder. Lusitan-
ia, a violation OF international law
They predicted their statements. how
ever. on press dispatches declaring
the ship had been destroyed without

Frederick r. Coudert of the inter
national law firm OF COudert Bros.
said.
a great deal depends upon
whether the Lusitania was sunk with
loss OF American life in regard to the
interest of the United States in the
matter
'But to ruthlessly sink a merchant
ship upon the open seas endangering
the life Of citizens of a neutral coun-
try is an act OF barbarity without
precedent
IF this has been done it is up to
the government OF the United States

1T makes no difference whether

Everett 2 Wheeler. an authority
