TRUST PRESIDENT
IS MOORE'S ADVICE
International Law Authority
Says Quiet Confidence Is
Chief Need.

A group Of educators stood In front
of the steps leading to Kent Hall, Co
lumbia University, yesterday discuss
ing in subdued tones the sinking of the
Lusitania. On the lips of all but one
was the question, "What is America
going TO do about il ?" That one was
John Bassett Moore, authority on inter-
national law, who, it is said, has just
returned from a consultation with the
President. The others were f. K. A.
professor in the department
of political economy; William A. Dun
ming, professor of political philosophy
and history; Harlan F. Stone, dean Of
the Columbia University Law School.
and Vladimir G.. Simkhovitch, professor
of economies.
"What ought we to do now in the
face of this calamity" DR.. Moore was
asked.
Remain calm" he replied. ut
seems to me the public should recog-
nize the necessity for clear thinking.
The administration may be trusted to
DO whatever will safeguard American
interests. | place my faith in the adj
ministration. Ny advice to the angry
men and women of the United States is
to do the same"

GERMANY OUTLAW,
SAYS J. w. GRIGGS
United States Urged to Join
Other Neutrals in Cutting Her
Off from World.

Hold Germany to account by pro-
claiming her an outlaw among the ma
tons of the world. If the German gov
eminent pleads that it was justified in
this crime which it Wilt is then the
duty of the United States TO JOIN with
other neutral nations and cut her OH
from the rest of the world"
John w. Griggs, Ex-Governor of New
JERSEY and ex-Attoney General OF the
United States, thus expressed his opn-
ion yesterday upon the sinking OF the
Lusitania.
THE time for watchful waiting has
passed." he continued. "No investlgat-
ing committee is needed. The facts
are known. Action is demanded"
Declaring it inconceivable that all
the passengers on the vessel could have
been warned by the advertisement IN
the newspapers, he asserted that 1t
would be just as logical TO plead justl-
fication in killing the tenants of a
building by bomb after warning them
through the press of the intended DEM
clifton.
Count Won BernstorF, the German
Ambassador, claims that the non-com-
batants were on British soil when on
British ship, and ran the same risk
they would run on land under the same
flag.
"Preposterous! There is no parallel
between the two. The German subma-
rine violated law that savages would
recognize"

PUT UP OR SHUT UP"
BONAPARTE'S VIEW

Baltimore, May 10-Charles j. Bona
parte. former Secretary OF the navy
and Attorney General of the Cnlted
States under Roosevelt, has very de-
cided views on the Lusitanla horror
He said tonight:
"The material facts are PLAIN ana
undisputed and the only question Is
what we are going to do about IT.
To my mind there are only two AFTER
natives. In the language OF tho sport
ing fraternity, we must either put
nm or shut up Either we must show
that we are ready if need be 70 VIM
dicate the rights of our citizens by
war or we must quietly 3u5side ana
let the belligerents do VIVA: they
please. -t
THE present crisis, in my opinion
does not call for profound medita-
ton or impressive silence or majestic
utterances, but for acts, and first OF
ali for Immediately putting the coun-
trv into "A condition of complete de-
fence This work ought TO have been
taken in hand nine months ago. Had

caped our present difficulty.

PRO.GERMAN CLERGY
BOLT CONFERENCE
Resolution Condemning "Un-
Christian Sinking" of Lusitania
Causes Revolt at Chicago.

Chicago, May 1O.-Clergy Of
pro-German sympathies bolted the
weekly meeting of the Methodist Epis-
copal ministers of Chicago to-day, when
their colleagues refused to postpone
discussion of resolution condemning
"the inhuman torpedoing and un-Chris-
tian sinking of the Lusitania" Half
dozen pastors left the room after
fighting in vain to have the resolution
tabled. The resolution was adopted.
The declaration also expressed per
feet confidence" in the "sans leader
ship of President Wilson" Similar
resolutions of confidence in the Presi-
dent were adopted by the Presbyterian
Ministers Association. In the meeting
of Baptist church leaders several
speakers, including Smaller Mathews,
dean of the divinity school Of the Uni
versity of Chicago, urged prayers for
the guidance Of the President in this
his hour of distress"

The Rev. Frederick Wilhelm told
members Of the Truth Society. an or

its national dignity by the sale Of arms
and ammunition 20 the Allies. and that
as consequence Germany was per
fectly justified in sinking any vessels

German covernment's use OF the sub
marine against passenger shlps' he
continued. This is using them IN

fact remains that they are being SO
used
The warning want 70 give Is that
If they are to be used IN this manner

because the increasing number OF sub
marines now being built Will enable

Mr. Lake said that there are at least

eminent began the construction Of
their submarine navy, and has kept
in touch with developments there ever
since. His sources of information he
declares to be above question.
The inventor explained why he be-
lieves the nation with the greatest
submarine strength will be the one TO
ultimately dictate the terms of peace.
THE submarine is the first weapon
which cannot be opposed with a
weapon of the same kind" said Mr.
Lake. at cannot be seen. therefore it
may be considered unfair. But ana
lying the matter still further. one is
forced to the conclusion that if the
submarine cannot be seen, it cannot
be destroyed, but can itself destroy all
classes of surface ships.
Then the logical conclusion is that
belliSerents can not safely run their
surface ships. This is the condition
that exists now. 1t is therefore up TO
this country TO run its own surface
ships TO carry our passengers and
mails and such other goods as are not
contraband. and let the ships with
contraband accept the chances Of the
blockade runner
in the meantime the commerce of
the bellgerent nations must suffer IN
til they make up their quarrels, and it
is right that they bear the cost and
not America. which has been striving to
be fair to all parties concerned"

INSURANCE MEN BAR
WAR ZONE POLICIES
Submarine Danger Makes
Companies Refuse Risks
on u. S. Travellers.
BOND AND STOCK
RATES ADVANCED
Loss of Alfred g. Vanderbilt and
Loss of Alfred g. Vanderbilt and
Others on LuSitania Hits
Insurers Hard.

Many leading life insurance com
panies will no longer issue policies for
persons intending to enter the Eu-
ropean war zone. This decision is the
result Of German submarine activity
eliminating in the destruction of the
Lusitania. Insurance men say this
final disaster will probably close the
doors of every insurance company in
the United States to prospective travel
lers in Europe.
Policies carried by most Of the Lusi-
tania's passengers were protected by
incontestable clauses. Though none OF
the companies would give out informa-
ton regarding individual holdings Of
the passengers, one Of the leading in
surance officials estimated their total
at about 100000.
Alfred G.. Vanderbilt was said TO be
the most heavily insured man on board
the liner, but it was thought he had
collected the money on several Of his
endowment contracts within the last
two years. thus reducing the aggregate
amount carried on his life.
A representative of the New York Life
Insurance Company said that since the
Gulhght incident his company had de-
cided to discontinue writing policies OF
any amount on any life at any price
for citizens going abroad.
Similar measures have been taken by
The Mutual Life and Equitable com
panies. Their officials say that they
never contemplated taking submarine
risks, and persons not insured before
have little chance of getting policies II
they indicate an intention OF visiting
the war zone.
"Whether life underwriting on these
persons will be entirely discontinued
by the Equitable" said an official OF
that company, must be determined by
the board Of directors. The Lusitania
incident has presented new and grave
problem to the insurance world. lnsur--
ance will be denied TO Americans and
a vast amount of business lost to our
companies "a long as Germany insists
on her present methods of warfare"
The Lusitana's loss has presented to
Wall Street bankers and brokers the
problem of insuring themselves against
losses following the destruction of Sc
curities on boats plying between Amer
lea and England. London bankers were
instructed by cable yesterday to have
all bonds and stocks in American ship
ments photographed before being sent
on shipboard.
Extreme care will also be taken in
registering the numbers of securities
sent across the ocean. This will facli-
tate the identification Of ownership
when it becomes necessary TO make du-
plicates of lost securities. Insurance
rates on financial documents were ad
vanced yesterday.

Submarine Inpincible
as Death, Says Lake
So Long Silent, Unseen Craft Use Passenger Ships
for Marks There's Danger for Amer-
cans, Inventor Warns

There is'no defence against the sub
marine. While this deadly type Of
fighting boat is being used against
passenger ships citizens of neutral
nations risk their lives by taking
passage on any belligerent vessel.
This Is the warning which Simon
Lake inventor OF the submarine. issues
70 all Americans. He thus summarized
the present situation yesterday in
celebrating his statement by telegraph
TO The Tribune when the first reports
had been received of the Lusitania
disaster
The cry is being made that the
submarine is an unfair weapon Of
warfare" said Mr.. Lake. "War has
always been unfair. 1t might be said
that the first man who used the bow
and arrow took an unfair advantage
Of the man who had only his hands
or his club with which TO defend him
self. The first man who used rifle
took an unfair advantage Of the man
with the ow and arrow, and so on all
the way UP the line
Tho inventor Of the fighting machine
which has already changed the whole
course Of naval warfare then told of
the futihty Of trying to escape the
submarines attack.
Il have done my best to instill In
the public mind that there is no de-
fence against the submarine" he said.
zone cannot ward off the attack Of
death, is its approach is unseen;
neither can one ward off the attack Of
the submarine, because its approach is
likewise unseen.
Convoy's Protection Futile.
"Much criticism is being heaped upon
the British Admiralty because it did
not send destroyers as cOnvoYs. Con-
voys would only increase the chance
Of discovery, as the smoke of num-
Der Of vessels would indicate 70 the
submarine commander that valuable
prize was approaching and make more
sure his ability TO intercept her. lie
could fire his torpedo between the con-
VOWS at the principal prize. If destroy
ers are used as convoys he could fire
his torpedoes at depth to run under
them. as they are shallow draft boats
! hone no Americans Will sail on ships
belonging TO any belligerent country in
the belief that they may be protected
by conveys, because they cannot be so
protected"
Mr. Lake deplored the use of the sub
marine against passenger ships, but
urged Americans TO face the fact that
they are so used and not RISK their
lives by sailing in ships belonging to
one Of the bellgcrcnt nations.
Much criticism is being made or the
