international law has been tossed

| HERMAN A. METZ. well-known Ger
man-American. of Brooklyn:
Nothing Is to be gained by Americans
| losing their heads and shooting their
mouths of. The whole matter Is strict
ly legal and must be handled in a legal
way"
HENRY WEISMANN, president of the
IGerman-American Alliance:
THE sinking of the Lusitania was due
entirely to England's determination to
starve out the German people and must
be regarded as legitimate act Of re-
prisal."
ISRAEL ZANGWILL:
What shall 1t profit a nation to gain
the whole world and lose her own soul?
Germany by poisoning the air and water
and destroying noncombatants has COM
mttted suicide as a great power and be-
come only a great scourge."
SIR A. CONAN DOYLE:

COMMANDER CARLYoN BELLAIRs.
M. p:
Countless tides will ebb and flow over
the Lusitania before America and Eng
land will forget their dead or forgive the
authors of their sorrow. The cry Re
member the Lusitania' will ring from the
Atlantic to the Pacific coast. If SO, once
again good will come from evil
GEN. SIR ALFRED TURNER:
There is no deed of infamy the Ger
mans will not commit and glory in. We
cannot be surprised at their destroying
the Lusitania. They are the criminals OF
Europe, unmasked and let loose"
DUDLEY FIELD MALONE. Collector
Of the Port of New York:
There were no guns. mounted or
unmounted, on the Lusitania and she
sailed without armament"
THE LORD MAYOR OF DUBLIN:
This prearranged murder of hun
dreds of innocent passengers is an
world. which stands dazed and horror
stricken at the stupendous atrocity,
monstrous, dastardly crime
THE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON:
This unparalleled outrage has
filled the whole world with horror and
indignation. 1t will no doubt be ade-
auately resented by the authorities in
America"
THE LORD MAYOR OF LIVER
POOL:
1T is impossible to express ones
condemnation of the dastardly meth
DDS of the Germans and their wan
ton. coldblooded barbarism as exhib-
tied in the case of the Lusitania.
This case emphasizes necessity for
sternest measures of reprisal availa-
BILE"
HALL GAME:
with malice aforethought, DELHI
erately. wantonly. the Lusitania was
sunk by a submarine. many hundreds
of innocent lives were lost and the
crime was willful murder. What has
ton? American widows and orphans
are weeping. the world is waiting
and listening"
PROF. BARRETT WENDELL. of Har-
ward University. now head of the Belgian
Students Relief Fund:
Il can never forget until the last gleam
Of consciousness how 1 felt when I heard
the news of the Lusitania massacre"
THE TELEGRAM, Amsterdam:
1T was a premeditated crime, not out
rageous, but fiendish. Only the joint pro-
test Of the entire civilized world, from
which Germany has separated herself.

THE MATIN. Paris:
THE wave of indignatio which will be
provoked in America perhaps may lead
Washington to take measures which will
be unpleasant for Germany"

Let us admire the tranquil courage
with which 1000 passengers. in spite Of
the notice, cunning and cynical of the
German Embassy. embarked on the Lusi-
tania. Let us salute the new victims OF
Germany"
LEON BAILEY. manager Of the In
transient (Paris):
TT is fruitless crime. without eE-
cuse. What is worse. the state of war
is the pretext in this deed for COM
revenge"
LA LIBERTE Paris):
"Germany's supreme act puts the
country definitely beyond the pale Of
nations. 1t is impossible that there
still are neutrals-indifferens peopie-
who regard these events as Pontius Pr
lates. Is the United States now going
to take it's place beside the other OPP
ponents Of Germany"
HENRY woODHOUSE. governor Of
the Aero Club of America:
The small investment of 100000 for
two aeroplanes would have saved the
Lusitania- The warning fleets are be-
Ing protected daily from submarines
by seaplanes."
