TAFT PICTURES DIFFICULTY OF EXECUTIVE HAMMERED BY
 PUBLIC CLAMOR.
WAR IS NOT ONLY METHOD
Declares We Are In a Critical Staoe In Our Foreign Relations Growina Out of the Great European
 Conflict Now Going On.
(WNU News Service. )

Philadelphia, May 13.-Former Pres. ldent Taft, in a speech in the Union League club, on the occasion of the httleth anniversary of its opening, gave expression of his idea of what American action should be in the crisis that has arisen between this country and Germany.
 He cautioned deliberation and calm. ness and above all other things, the support of President Wilson. He also pointed out where the patience and suffering of the people of the United States might be strained to point no longer to be endured and then he said, the result would be war.
 But remember,' he shouted, it will be the peoples war. They will suffer, they will die, and in all things they will have to pay"
 We are at a critical stage in our foreign relations growing out of the great European war" he said. "The belllgerents on both sides have an nounced policies with respect to the principles and rights of neutrals that are contrary to heretofore accepted principles of international law.
 Germany has not only announced but inforced, contrary to the laws of war policy in her naval warfare by submarines and torpedoes, against the unarmed commercial ships of her enemy that is inhumane, not only to the defenseless subjects of her enemy but to the peaceable citizens of the United States travelling on board such ships and entitled to warning and res cue before such ships are sunk.
 Done in Face of Protest
 This naturally arouses our deepest indignation. It was done in the face of our protest against the assertion of any such declaration and our dec laration that We would hold Germany to the strictest accountability for the loss of property or of our lives.
 Now. what has been done? Sincere

{ w NJ NeWs SeINlC6.J
 New York, May 13.-Two hundred and fifty-six passengers, who had been terrified by the news of the sinking of the Lusitania and the knowledge that they themselves had narrow escape from death, arrived in port on the Cunard liner Saxonia from Liver pool The Saxonia, that sailed on May f, passed the Lusitania 36 hours before the latter liner was torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine.
 William Livesay of Caldwell, N. l., declared that several passengers saw perscopes of submarines while the Saxonia was passing through St Georges channel One of the sub marines was so near that the captain of the Cunarder ordered the passen- gers to put on life belts and the life boats were swung outward for imme- diate use.
 When word of the destruction of the Lusitania was received by wireless the officers of the SaXonia tried to keep it secret, but it leaked out.

men, respondant to what they believe their patriotic duty, demand extreme measures as the only method of en- forcing that accountability.
 "Is war the only method of making a nation accountable? Let us look into our history England cosnived at the fitting out of armed vessels to prey on our commerce, to attack our navy and to kill our sailors. We protested. and what did we do then? We held her strictly accountable in the Geneva conference. Was not our honor as much preserved by this method as 1t would have been had we declared war;"

BRITISH GOVERNMENT CONSID- FRS STEPS THEY WILL TAKE
 TO PROTECT THEM.
GERMAN STORES DESTROYED
Interfere When Foreigners Are Attacked-Rioting Spreading
 Throughout islands.
(WNU News SerVice.)

London May 13.-So serious has the ''alien enemy" problem become that special cabinet meeting was called to discuss it. There is a grow ing feeling that the time has arrived when all persons of German, Turkish or Austrian birth, whether naturalized or not, should be interned until the end of the war. The growing anti German riots throughout the country are putting the police to the test, and in many instances the police have re fused to protect aliens because of the bitter feeling resulting from the sink ing of the Lusitania4
 Serious anti-German rioting was renewed in East London. Crowds of men and women paraded the streets, breaking windows of several butcher shops conducted by men with German names and throwing the furniture and supplies into the streets. The crowd also threatened Germans with phys ical violence The police were tenn. porarily powerless.
 Mobs Attack Shops.
 Mob attacks on German shops began in the Poplar Limehouse, Waltham- stow, Bethnal Green and Camdentown and other districts. Windows were smashed, shutters and doors were torn down and premises wrecked and in some instances those in the houses were maltreated.
 Large bodies of police were called out to suppress the disturbances dur ing the night
 Several German butchers were mobbed in Smithfleld market and thrown into the street One was chased to the Farrindon Street sta ton and finally drew a revolver with which he withstoOd the crowd that was threatening him with death, un- til train came along which he board ed and escaped.
 The rioting and anti-German dem Onstrations seem to be spreading throughout the islands At Liverpool Germans are unable to appear on the streets, and many have voluntarily sought interment in the prison camps 10 protect themselves from violence.

 Washington. May 13.-The United States government, ill note to Ger mary formally demands of the i'm perial government a strict accounting for the loss of American lives in the sinking of the Lusitania and violations of American rights in the war zone. nalso asks guarantees that there will he no repetition of such events or practices
 With the plain intimation in it that the United States is prepared to meet any eventuality that may arise from a noncompliance, the communication. phrased in unmistakably emphatic language, was prepared to be cabled to Berlin.
 Written by President Wilson and approved unanimously by radical and conservative members of the cabinet, the note was being carefully examined by Counselor Lansing and the law of fcers of the government at the state utpdI llltul AD Hldhe Sult llldl lt< phraseology covered every point of law involved
 Maintains Dignity and Honor of U. s. The note asks Germany for an ac- counting for the series of violations of American rights in the war zone not only financial but moral-and a guarantee that there will be no repe- dtOn of unlawful practices of German submarines.
 Every member of the cabinet ap- proved the note. That il maintains the dignity and honor of the United States was their unanimous opinion.
 The president, it was said, realized tully the gravity of meaning in the note and was prepared for any eyentu- allles that might arise from it pre- sentation.
 The note does not exactly say what lne course of the United States will DC Tn case of refusal, nor would the presidents advisers indicate beyond

saying that each step and situation would be considered as 1t arose.
 In official quarters, however, the eventual severance of diplomatic rela- tions was declared not to be impossi ble if there was no abatement of the German practices.
 It was learned that the president framed his policy Sunday night and that his pacific utterances in his speech in Philadelphia last Monday are not reflected in the firm and un- equivocal phrases of the note.

NEWS FROM THE WAR ZONE

Niemen river and the Germans are
lighting rear-guard action. Only at
one point is the German attack being
seriously pressed-ssainst the fortress
OK OssowetZ. Here the Germans can
use their railway from Luck and there
is good road across the marshes, but
with their armies falling back on
either side they cannot remain long.
British military experts say.
To the south. according to Berlin
dispatch, the Germans have evacuated
Myszyniec, which is right on the East
Prussian border, northwest of LomZa,
while further west, near Mlawa, they
are believed actually to have crossed
the border after defeat at Przemylsz.
The Russians also have attacked the
Germans east CT Plock and near Skier
niewice, southwest of Warsaw.
