Sir Gilbert Parker, in an interview
with an International News service
representative, said: "The sympathy
of America is worth twenty army
corps" Yes, and its war munitions
are worth as many more. Washing
ton and the Interests" also sympathize
with Germany-to the same extent as
one who would see fellow being
overheard with his hands tied, and yell,
Swim, friend, I'd cut the cord, but

During the War Between the States
a Federal man-of-war seized British
packet snip on which Messrs. Mason
and Slidell, ENJOYS of the Confederate
government to England were passen-
gers. Britain claimed the United States
had no right to seize the packet and
that under the British flag the ENJOYS
were immune to arrest. The gentle
men and the vessel were Immediately
released by President Lincoln; but
now Great Britain may hold ships and
cargoes Indefinitely, or confscate and
pay for a cargo designed for other
countries, with a mouse-like squeal of
protest from Washington, but otner-
wise nothing diding.'
What do you think of this one-sided
neutrality, anyway? I notice the AS
sociated Press dispatches contain a
great deal about the horrifying use of
asphyxiating gasses by the Germans,
but fail to mention Cossacks of the
Russian army stripping women and
girls and mailing them to sides of
buildings in East Prussia. Ernest
Poole, an American writer, tells Of
one among hundreds of such atrocities
this one told nim by German Of
ficer: eve entered small village
from which troop of Cossacks had
been driven out. They had left four
women and girls and three small chill
dren-naked-all nailed by their hands
and feet to a barn. They were dead,
but their bodies were still warm"
brutal Germans use gas bombs.)
."Six hundred German surgeons were
shot by Belgian peasants as they bent
over the wounded" was told Mr.. Poole
by medical friend returned from
Belgium. ''And ne went on" says Mr..
Poole, 'tto narrate how these peasant
men and women gouged the eyes out
of wounded Germans on the field. He
himself had seen such cases" (Send
them food and clothes and let the poor
of our own country go hungry and
naked. Cruel Germans use subma-
rines.) Mr.. Poole's article in satur-
day Evening Post of April II, was evi-
dently not censored IN London, as it
shows the other side of the horrible
war picture too plainly.
Would to God tnat American greed
be overcome by American humanity
and the blood-stained gold spurned.
The refusal of the United States to
allow any supplies produced in this
country to be furnished belligerents
would be great factor in promoting
peace in Europe.
In closing, I want to say there is
not drop of German blood in me.

GERMANY MUST SHOW
Her STAND AT ONCE
q. S. TO FIND OUT WHETHER
RULES WILL BE OBSERVED.
This Country May Cut OFF Diplomatic
Relationship Question of
Facts.

|
Facts.
Washington, June 1.-President
Wilson determined today that the
United States must ascertain definite
" and promptly from Germany
whether that country intends in the
future to be guided by the accepted
principles of international law and
the rights of neutrals or to follow its
own rules of maritime warfare.
The president listened to a varied
expression of opinion at meeting Of
his cabinet, taking little part in the
! discussion himself Later he began
! the preparation of note to be dis
patched before the end of this week,
embodying his own ideas and what
seem to him the consensus of his Of
fetal family.
The verdict of a majority of the
cabinet was that the German reply to
the American note following the sink
ing of the Lusitania was unresponsive
and unsatisfactory, disregarding the
good will of the United States, doubt
ing its facts and disclaiming all blame
for the destruction of the merchant
man with American lives. The ques-
tions Of fact raised by Germany were
regarded as irrelevant at this time.
Must be Settled Soon.
The trend of opinion was that the
United States must learn soon waeth-
or Germany intends to recognize the
hitherto accepted principles tcat neu-
trails may travel anywhere ON the
high seas on unarmed merchant
ships, even if carrying contraband,
and that merchantmen which does
not resist capture must be visited and
searched and the passengers and crew
transferred to place of safety be-
fore the vessel is destroyed.
An unfavorable answer to this in
quiry would lead, it was predicted in
official quarters, to severance of dip
lomatic relations on b6e ground that
the United States could not continue
intercourse with government which
repudiated these principles. Steps
then would be taken to inform Amer
leans Of the dangers to which they
were exposed as result of this action
and such measures as necessary
adopted to safeguard the lives and
interests of citizens of the United
States.
"Strict Accountability
Should Germany accept the prin-
cfple in way t:at would constitute
a guarantee for the future, the Amer
lean government would reiterate it's
demand for "strict accounta biIity''
for violations of this principle and the
killing of Americans on the Lusi-
| tania.
The decision to base the American
note on the principles of interna-
tional law, to obtain an affirmative
or negative reply, and not enter into
a technical discussion of details
raised in the German communica-.
Fion, was the single development Of
the cabinet council. Some members
favored even excluding any reference
to the facts asked for by Germany,
settling first the point as to whether
Germany intended to disregard the
American warning of last February
that it would insist upon the exercise
