A Sorry Farce.
tor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The headline in the morning papers
tells us that Washington is amazed" at the
present German procedure on the seas. WHY
is the government amazed? Was there any
thing different TO be looked for, We are
ION the verge OF grave or the graveSi
crisis That cannot be. for the sinking OF
the Lusitanis was the worst possible out
rage the Germans have committed or could
commit upon US. And since nothing has
been done about that, why should they
change their ways?
Is there not something farccal about such
headlines, about this repeated talk OF
"criscs' which are always averted and
slurrcd over? The government fears" a
break with Germany. Why. that is what W,
wanta break. But we shan't get it not
so long as Wilson is in office. call this
talk farcical. hut il is the sort Of farce at
which one feels like weeping.
