Paris. May z. The sinking Of the
rusitapia has aroused deep Indignation
here. where many OF the passengers,
notably A. G.. Vanderbilt and Charles
Frohman, were well known. The press
characterizcs the torpedoing Of the
liner as IAN act OF supreme cruelty
surprising everything yet perpetrated
and violating the most elementary SEN
timents Of humanity The papers are
unanimous in regarding it as fruit
less crime. without excuse.
The "MATIN" expresses the opinion
tina, the wave Of Indignation which will
be provoked in America perhaps may
lead Washington to take measures
which will be unpleasant for Germany.

ROME INDIGNANT
OVER SLAUGHTER

Rome, May s. The sinking OF the
Lusitania has created a profound i'm
preston in Italy. Anxiety is increased
by the fact that there were several
Italians among the passengers.
The feeling in Rome may be de
scribed as one of Indignation at the
killing Of neutraIs, and measures 70
>ud such proceedings are being urged
on all sides.
The "Giornale d'Italia' says:
THAT such a large proportion Of the
peaceful travellers on the LusitanIa
lost their lives sums up the atroclty Of
the crime. which struck down men.
women and children, persons of all
ages, conditions of life and national-
ties. who could not assist or injure
either belligerent The warning pub

dress Germany in the hrmest Ian
