Unprecedented.

From the Atlanta Journal.
Nothing in ancient or modern war
fare has so profoundly shocked the
civilized world as the destruction of the
Lusitania. The fact that her destruc-
ton was deliberately and carefully
planned with knowledge that she car
ried more than two thousand people,
non n-combatants, and innocent of giving
aid or comfort in any way to Germany's S
enemies, aggravate the crime and adds
horror to the tragedy. Even though
the Lusitania was a British ship, she
was entitled to the treatment accorded
enemy ships under the rules of civilized
and international warfare. Her pas
sengers assumed the risk Of the ship
being captured, but nobody supposed
even though Germany had given warn
ing, that the lives of innocent people
in no way responsible for the war,
composed in large part of citizens of
neutral and friendly countries. would
be ruthlessly sacrificed without warn
ing and without opportunity to escape
instant and horrible death.

Disastrous to Germany.

From the st. Joseph Gazette.
There is no one who does not deplore
the awful end of the Lusitania, and
there are few who will be able to find
excuse for the action of Germany in
striking practically defenseless ship.
laden as it was with non-combatants.
The blood of these men and women
must rest upon the German cause.
which will be hurt in the eyes of the
world by this one act more than it
would have been by a dozen disastrous
defeats on the field of battle. But, at
the same time, there are questions in
volved that must be considered before
official action by the government is
taken. 1t must be remembered that the
Lusitania was a British vessel, loaded
to the guards with millions of rounds
of ammunition with which the British
government intended to shoot down
German soldiers. But it was cruelty
wicked in Germany to torpedo the
Lusitania without first having given
the passengers time to escape. Better
dozen such cargoes of ammunition be
unloaded in English ports than this
one awful blot should rest on the Ger
man cause.
