GRAVE ISSUE ARISES

WORCESTER, Mass. May 7.--Dr. George

sued the following statement regarding
the Lusits MIA disaster:
III a German submarine sank the
Lutitania without warning. with 4 re.
sultine large loss Of life among her
American passengers. IT Is the most
serious event ~ the war so far az the
United states rs concerned
III the Lusitania has been sunk by
mine It is doubtful " our Government
has any clear ground Of actior. since
international Law has not definitely pro-
hibited the laying Of mine fields in
open sea.
1T makes no difference whether the
ship carried contraband or not. the
passengers and crew must first be saved.
''The only possible justifcat ton that
occurs to me IL that the Bustania fired
on q German submarine. This Is not
likely ..
IF the Lusitsnia was torpedoed with
out warning. and when making NO re-
sistance. II was against international
law. and the United states has legal
ground Of action against Germany and
