President Wilson Will Make Views on Lusitania Known
 to Cabinet Today.
NEUTRAL PRESS
 CONDEMNS ACTION
Other Neutral Countries May Join America in Protest to Germany. and President May Address Himself to
 Kaiser Personally.


 Washington, May 1O.-Pre3idCnt Wilson's views as to the position this government should take on the sink ins of the Lusitania, formulated after two days consideration, Will be placed before the cabinet tomorrow.
 It was made known today at the white house executive offices that suggestions as to the proper course of action for this government to take have been pouring in on the president by mail and telegraph from all parts of the country Twenty-Five per cent of them were plainly communications from cranks. The writers of 50 per cent of the remainder declared the1o. selves against war, but assured the president they would back him up in any stand he might take.
 There is no doubt that the president will condemn the sinking of the Lusi- tania in the strongest possible terms. He may depart from the usual diplo- matic practice and address the kaiser himself.
 Warming Insufficient. The crucial point in the statement of the United States will be that no warning was or could be justifica- .tion for the sinking of the Lusitania, that did not offer passengers and crew an opportunity to escape. sg | It can be stated on good authority that there will probably be severe de- nunciation of the submarine warfare and it's "new principles" and for mai demand that it shall cease imme- diately unless carried on under strict application of international law. In the event satisfactory reply IS not forthcoming, the United states will then have to consider the advisa- bility of breaking off all diplomatic relations by recalling Ambassador Gerard and all American representa- tives in Germany, and handing Am bassador Bernstorff and all German consuls in this country their pass ports.
 Other Neutrals in Protest. The statement was made a,,thori. tativcly today that there is strong; probability that many of the neutral nations are expected, to join the Unit ed States in it's protest against the kind of submarine warfare being car ried on by Germany.
 The question of making joint repre- sentation to Germany has been under consideration by the neutrals for some time. It was stated officially today that it has not yet reached the point of an exchange of formal com- munications, but it is known to be at the stage where final conclusions should be reached in a very short time.
 The purpose of joint representa- tion will be to impress Germany with the views of the neutral nations as to their rights of commerce and to in- sist that these rights be observed. The neutral nations principally af- fectcd by Germany's violation Of ex- isting rules of war are the United States, Italy, Sweden. Norway, Den- mark and Holland. The South Ameri- can republics must also be included. and Switzerland, though she has no merchant marine, still has many car goes in the vessels of the other neu- tral nations. and would probably also be sufficiently interested to joint m the representations.
 | Neutral Press Condemns Actions. The United States is by no means the only nation which has suffered the loss of both vessels and cargoes because of the German submarine warfare. Sweden and Norway also have been heavy sufferers. :.
 Minister Van Rappard of Holland
 called at the state departments today and held long conference with Coun. sellor Lansing, at which the subject
 of joint action by the neutrals was discussed.
 In this connection the administra- tion was gratified to learn from news dispatches that the press of the nen- tral nations of Europe was empnatic in condemning the action Of Germany in sinking the Lusitania. According to the dispatches. the newspapers of Rome strongly cri1icise ,yu nntf
