 In sinking the Lusitania, the Ger mans inflicted upon England aE awful blow. There's no question about that.
 But it is a question if, in sinking the Lustania and killing a thousand or mora people, the Germans did net iniure themselves more than they did their ene nemies.

 Americans can again be thankful that the sad of the government at this time is man like WoodroW Wilson. If it is possible to have peace with honor, he is the man to safely conduct the country through the dangerous period precipitated py the unpreced anted warfare. But-
 It may come tc pass that ev5h Woodrow Wilson will be unable lo check the wave of resentment that will swaep over the country ii Amer icans are to be killed without being given even a fighting chance.
 It may be that caution should have prompted Americans not to use the Iusitania, but this does not justl1y their destruction.
 The Germans could have accom- plished their purpose without rnls sacrifice of human life. They coura have given the people on the Lusl- tania t.me enough te' leave the vessel and then sent her to the bottom wlsn her cargo of munitions.

 MOTHERS DAY.

Throughout the United States, this Will be observed as Mothers Day.
 'Tis beautiful custom this, dedi- eating one Sunday ill the year tc Mother-paens of praise be sung to Ter.
 It matters not to what depths one may descend, or to what heights one ruay ascend, Mother is always ones most loyal, devoted, affectionate friend.
 In sorrow, in distress, even ill shame-when the remainder of the world turns cold-one always obtains sympathy, comfor, warmth and en' courage ment from Mother.
 Remember how you took to hsl your childish troubles, and was soiaced? Recall how in later years she inspired you to nobler effort, and when you would have confessed your self beaten, twas Mother who en- ccuraged you to successful endeavor?
 In happiness and sorrow, Mother las ever been the one to most quickly respond.
 Think you that the debt can ever bs settled? No. Not even if you de- voted the remainder of your life en- iirely to her could you make up for the pain, the anguish and the torture sh,e has experienced for you.
 And if you are among those favored by Providence; if you are among those who can today speak or write to Mother. be especially grateful. Ana ir vour gratitude, make effort to dis play the love, respect and apprecia- tion you feel. For there are mal- lions who envy you this great bless ing. millions who mourn, and count ,ess numbers who have never known the ioy and happiness of Mother love. So. if you are among the blessed be grateful.
 There,s little you can do to haul- date the debt, but little attention from you will give Her so much nap n;ness. and will go for toward mak- ing Her winter of life less disagree able. You know and she knows that the end draws near. Twill be nap piness for her, and sweet recoliec- tions for you to know that her last wears were filled with the warmth oi your love and appreciation.
 And don't stop with today. Resolve, and keep the resolution, to make every i24 hours Mothers Day.
 You owe it to her; you owe II to yourself.
 Today send her remembrance or write her a letter. And in her honor' wear flower: sF'pr Mothers living, blossoms brlght' eFor Mothers memory, b1ossoins
