Of the blacklist acts that have ever been
pcrpctvatcd by human beings" he said
THE people who boarded that ship a
week AGO had reason 70 expect that
their convenience might suffer or that
they might lose time because Of inter
ference by a war vessel. They had no
reason 10 fear loss of life. for there is
no warrant in international law or the
practices Of civilized nations for any
act lmpcrilling nOn-cOm batants.
"Thc last week has been q week OF
achievement for the Germans on land
and sea. and the hearts Of Germans at
home and Of German SympathiZers here
have naturally beat with enthusiasm at
the news that has come to them. But
the sinking of the Lusitania was not a
victory: IL was the greatest defeat that
has come to any Of the combatants
since the war began, and it was de
feat for Germany
pr. Parks inclined to the belief that
i'm time Germany. ii ostraciZed by the
neutral civilized world. would acknowl-
edge her crimes and seek reinstatement
iE the favor Of other nations. The
thought that this country should enter
the war. after keeping out Of il for
nine months. was distressing TO him. he
said. though he had no doubt that
millions of young men would be glad
TO give their blood for the country

CALLS ACT BEYOND
PALE OF HUMANITY

DR.. s. Parkes Cadman, pastor OF the
plymouth congregational Church, OF
Brooklyn. Stigmatized the sinking Of
the Lusitania as IAN inhuman. brutal
and useless act"
This act of Germany" he said,
speaking before the West Side Y. VI.
{. A. yesterday afternoon on the ques-
ton Of disarmament, sis beyond the
pale Of humanity, and the men who
authorized it viii be everlastingly dis
credited in the civilized world
"War settles nothing on the basis Of
justice DR.. Cadman said, but the
men who ciamor for peace know not
what they ask. The American nation
must maintain its high ideals, its
ideals Of freedom and its poise. Let
those who do not believe in these
ideals and in the American theory and
practice Of democracy keep quiet for
a space; the great majority of Amer
leans are tired Of their chatter.
ANY one who thinks the United
States is in a state Of panic had better
think again. We are perfectly ready
10 defend our rights. but we refuse TO
lose our heads. Let no one mistake
our calmncss for cowardice. Men
Of our breed must be free, and We will
hear from no man who IL not loyal to
America and American institutions.

RECTOR DEGREES
WILSON INACTION

The Rev $. Delaney Townsend,
rector Of All Angels Protestant Episco-
pal Church. West End Avenue at
Eiphtv-Grst Street, spoke ia memOridm
Yesterday OF Nr. and Mrs. Harry Bald
win. members OF his congregation, re-
ported among the Lusitanla's missing.
He called the torpedoing murder. and
criticised the dmElstration at wash
ington for the weak part 1t has played
in world affairs. He minated strongly
the possibility that the United States
would have 20 have recourse to war TO
maintain its rights.
At is question whether we are sad
for the friends who have perished,' he
said. cor because. la the twentieth cen
tury after Christ, there should be any
where in ChrIateEdom a people who
could re ioicc over such deed. But TINS
incident is but one Of series in which
our flag has been attacked, our citizens
murdered and our government openly
nouted and insuted b. those who en-
joyed our hospitality and who have Tor
months sought our sympathy with
their cause.
This is a time for grave and careful,
very careful, dcliberatlon, but also Tor
very positive, emphatic and powerful
decision. 1t is time to take measures,
as the President has said in HIS note OF
February 10. Formidable as those ships
out there may seem, and brave as the
men behind the guns undoubtedly arc,
they are pitifuily ineffective in view Of
the needs of war, from which God
grant that we may be saved. But we
must let it be unders'o that we have
no sympathy with any diplomacy which
accepts certified cheek as conpensa-
ton in full for insults 20 our flag and
for the slaughter Of American citizens.

the people ought to lemand that our

RABBI WISE PUTS
TRUST in WILSON

Or. stephen 8. Wise pleaded yester-
day for a calm United States in the
face Of the great calamity which has
occurred through the sinking Of the
Lusitania.
IF ever there was time for DELHI
crate, even. dispassonate judgment, il
is now. when the easy and obvious
thing IS 10 yield to passion and exc tie
mcnt in the face of the cruel blow
which has been struck" said DR.. Wise
yesterday. "ln saying this | abate
neither my sorrow for the stricken no.
my horror at the deed.
THE one thing we must not do is to
yield 20 the temptation to pursue a
policy OF retaliation and reprisal. Were
we to suffer ourselves to lapse into the
attitude OF organized vengeance We
should suffer dcadlier damage than
could be wrought upon US through the
atrocities OF warfare at it's worst and
most lawless. There is but one way to
avoid the policy Of revenge namely, if
we now prove cur national greatness
not by seeking to retaliatc upon the
offenders, bat by acting upon the an
the world"
The cause Of the war and its con-
tinuance lies in The fact that every
nation answers questions with ref
erence 70 itself alone. We must ass
what is best for all the nations. How
can our awful loss be made TO sub
serve the gain Of mankind?
"laHpily, there presidcs over the af-
fairs Of the nation a statesman. wise
and just. serene and unafrad. We be
lie"e that he will demand that the
policy OF Strengthening neutrals and
non-comhatcnts cease at once and for
ever. This were far better than re
taliatiOn, which ought never TO be, and
better than reparation. which, after all.
cannot be.
This will be yet another service Of
our nation. though wounded sore. for
healing the wounds Of the worlds
peoples"
Rabbi Samuel Schulman. of Temple
BETHEL, urged his congregation to be
calm and emphasized the fact that this
was a time to be silent so that no pas
sion could interfere with sober judg-
ment.
"Our duty is to be loyal to the Pres
ident." said DR.. Schulman. This is
Il time when thos- who bear the re-
sponsibility and burdens of govern
ment are to be allowed to think This
country is most fortunate in having IN
the Presidency a man who is a scholar
and. therefore. has the training and
instinct of the man accustomed to seek
and discover truth dispassionat ,ly.
Dr. Joseph Silverman. rabbi of Tenn
pc EMANUEL. voiced his opinion that,
vile the situation was grave indeed. .
the administration and Congress would
be ALE to handle it judiciously. with .
an eye to the rights of the one hundred
millions of people in this country.
