The Lusitania Horror

philadelphia Public Ledger
The frightfui sacrifice of American
life in the Lusitania horror, which has
become a catastrophe Of worldwide
and appalling significance. makes our
position in the matter perfectly clear.
While the sinking Of the great liner
does net differ from the Falaba case,
except in the Supplying magnitude
of the disaster Off Kinsale, and while
the GuIflight case is wholly our own i'll
every phase Of its unexampled outrage,
the situation is one that does not call
for fine words and phrases, but for
the most direct, ciean-cut presentation
Of the American point of view to the
German government.
Tristan immediate demand on the
part of the State Department on Ger
many for an explanation, regret and
apology for a deed which. the state
paper should leave no doubt in the
minds of the recipients, has profound
~ shocked the world conscience and
stirred q neutral and friendly govern
ment as nothing else has done since
the war began.
Second-The immediate assurance
that the abhorrent practice as exhib-
tied in the Lusitania and other like
cases shall not be repeated.
Third-While it should be made clear
that reparation and indemnity for the
loss of American citizens is demanded,
in no sense can there be any adequate
reparation or indemnity for so mex
eusable and international crime.
Fourth-While reasonable time for
the entertainment of the facts must,
Of course. be given, it should also be
made clear that unnecessary. delays
and a recalcitrant attitude will be
viewed as entirely unfriendly, and, if
persisted in, will unquestionably lead
to decided change Of attitude on the
part of the United States government,
with possible reprisals. if explanation
and PREPARATION, which is a thing incon-
ceivable, be refused.
Fifth-In order that the German gov
eminent may be made aware of the
moral as well as the legal aspects of
the case, the fact that murder is no
less murder even il the murderer or
his aiding and abetting agents notify
the victims in advance. and that pi-
racy is no less piracy even il interna-
tional law be thrown to the winds and
national acts beyond moral justjfca-

"A Strict Accountability"

Germany has gone too far.
The country will await calmly-and
we think open mindedly-the result
of the Presidents previously expressed
intention to hold Germany to "a strict
for American lives
lost.
We are inclined to disregard techni-
calities in discussing the Lusitania
horror. During the entire MAX Amer
lea has suffered and American lives
have been sacrificed in the intricate
machinery Of technicalities raised or
pleaded by each belligerent; American
rights have been computed from what
was left over after England and Ger
many have torn one another's threats
instead Of recognizing our rights as
something apart and distinct and to
be respected by each belligerent.
If the administration involves itself
in a discussion Of technicahties we
shall make a sorry spectacle Of our
selves. Undoubtedly Germany will ad-
vance the technical argument that she
had a right to sink the contraband-
carrying Lusitania, and that Ameri-
can messengers had no business aboard
such a vessel in a declared war zone;
but suppose that the Germans had
sincled out for especial and ferocious
destruction section OF Britain
trenches which they knew contained a
large number Of non combatant smer-
icans-they might be technically right
but American would have suffered
a moral and sentimental affront Of
the first magnitude; and SO it is here
Both Germany and England have
been technically right and technically
wrong so many tines that it is idle,
in this instance, tc predicate American
rights on that mass Of rapidly disiate-
grating custom knowa as International
law. The point iS-can this country
permit its citizens to be knowingly ex-
terminated in large numbers even if
those citizens have deliberately taken
their chances on an enemy ship in war
waterse
The wrongs that we have suffered az
the hands Of England can be paid for
in money damages; the wrong done
US by Germany cannot.
We have no sympathy with the hy-
sierra which shouts pirates" muir
derers" and baby killers, nor have
we any sympathy with that pro- ally
fostered sentiment which urges this
country TO go to war to preserve hu-
mainly ana civilization, etc, etc, from
the ravages of the mad dog of Eu-
rope" Bah. If this country goes TO
war it will be 10 preserve its national
honor, the lives Of its citizens or the
integrity of its shores.

Supply Question Is Full of
Interest People Firm
Against River Water
NOR WATER PLANT AT THE
COURT APPRAISAL

Fireman's hall was filled to overlooking
Saturday afternoon at the special meeting
of the Madison Village Corporation to
consider the water questions. Bernard
Gibbs was elected moderator After con-
siderable discussion of Article 2 in rela-
ton to the letter received from the Pub
lie Utilities Commission in which much
dissatisfaction was expressed in the some
what evasive document, new set of res
olutions was adopted in reply, the sub
stance of which was that the voters
would not be satisfied with any water
supply taken from the kenaebec river
unless taken from a point above Bing-
ham village; that filtration plant of any
kind would not be tolerated; that some
answer should be made to the petition for
the installment of meters; that a chance
be given for the presentation OF evidence
and hearing had in this vicinity.
Votes were taken to pass over the arti-
Gle in relation to the purchase Of the
plant, also the article in relation to the
appointment of committees for the estab-
lishment Of another plant, but commit
tee was elected to confer with the COM
raittee in the town of Arson for pushing
. municipal plant.
Letters were read from the State Board
of Health dating back several years, con-
demning the water supply. also letter
from Josiah Maxcey to the corporation
assessors asking if a committee could
not be appointed to settle what differ
ences there might be.
The sentiment of the meeting as ex-
pressed was also that the corporation
was not in favor of buying the presen;
plant, the valuation to be fixed by court
appraisal, either now or at any future
time.

THE DUMB MARTYRS
Hurried from pasture and field,

Hurried from pasture and field,
Bidder from course and stall,
Snatched from the shafts when the
tocsin pealed
To arms, for the war lords brawl,
Warmed by no patriot zeal,
Gained by no well loved hand,
Piteous, patient, without appeal,
mid the shrek of shells, and the
clash of steel,
They haste at stern command.
Men have they loved right well,
Finding them mainly kind
But these are fiends, in frenzied hell,
By rage and pain made blind,
Squirting the dripping flanks,
Lashing to break the heart,
When the cavalry hurls its naughty
ranks,
When the huge gun-carriage sticks and
clanks,
And they cannot make it start.
Here, mid the ruin and wreck,
One stumbles down to die:
He lifts his head on trembling neck
His sad eyes asking, Whys'
Wounded, and wild with pain,
Senseless, masterless, mazed,
One gallOps unchecked o 'er the blood
drenched plain,
Trampling the faces Of the slain,
Shrieking like demon crazed!
Thus still is the need for more,
And still do the victims come,
To face the steel, and the great gun S
roar,
Wondering, suffering, dumb.
All, who but God can weigh
| The load of their misery
Heavier, heavier, every day!
And who, with woe, shall the reckoning
pay7
For reckoning there must bel
But oh, is there not a place,
Far, from strife and plain,
Somewhere in the worlds that sing
through space,
Where these may live again'

PARIS STILL CLINCING

Colors and Fabrics Show the Influence
Of the Military
BOOTS FOR WALKING COSTUMES

NEW YORK, March 10 - Full
skirts have undoubtedly come to stay
for while at least. For all that, there
is no reason why the woman with
several long tunic skirts in her ward
robe should be discouraged, for they
have not been discarded by any manner
Of means. A number of the large
French dressmakers are using them this
year with great success and in such a
way that the ingenious woman may fol-
low their examples with her old skirts.
For instances, the new tunic skirts
are very long, much longer than those
Of last year showing scarcely more than
one or two inches of the lower skirt
beneath; but to offset this, which looks
rather difficult when your last season g
long tunic showed at least six inches of
lower skirt, yokes are very much the
rage, and by attaching tunic to yoke
it will be long enough to suit this sea
son 8 requirements.

New uniforms have been made for
the French soldiers of new shade Of
blue; naturally that means it is imme-
diately copied for costumes for women
This color, together with the khaki
colOred field cloth, are used extensively
for tailored costumes, especially if they
follow ever so slightly the tendency
toward the military.
Red, also military color, but in a
new brick shade, is being used a great
deal, while the national colors of Bel
gium-red, yellow and black-are being
combined again and again into frocks
and suits.
Small hats are the vogue in Paris.
They are loved too well by the Paris
ians to be quickly discarded. Trig little
hats of Oilcloth to match cuffs and belt
are worn extensively with tailored
suits. The small hats entirely covered
with flowers are used for more Ella
borate occasions. Tailored hats are
being trimmed with ribbons of large
plaid, as well as in black and white
faille ribbons, and give them distinct
ly new look.
Large hats are slowly creeping into
view, and will no doubt hold the people
for summer, especially the old-time
shape trimmed with flowers and velvet
ribbon streamers.
