FRIEND
URGES DIPLOMACY
INSTEAD OF FIGHT

Settle the issues Of the Lusitania
sinking by diplomatic methods, not
war;" said S. E. Nicholson, editor Of
the American Friend.
The American people are not great
ly divided in their condemnation of
the attack which sent the Lusitania to
the bottom of the sea, with its conse-
quent destruction of more than a regi-
ment Of human lives. 1t is no justifi-
cation that warning had been previ-
ously given. Murder is no less murder
because information Of the intended
deed has reached the victim before
hand. Nor is it sufficient excuse that
the calamity occurred within the zone
of war fixed arbitrarily by Germany.
The solution of the problem is not
easy but there is no reason to believe
that the issues involved cannot be set
tied by diplomatic methods. There is
no occasion for the inflammatory talk
of war. That would only destroy more
lives without settling any issues. If
America can succeed in putting to an
end such piracy on the high seas, she
will have accomplished much The
whole nation should pray that our
chief magistrate may be led Alright as
he tries to solve this perplexing prob
lem
