The important and significant feature
was the publication of list of the dead
the American dead. "The Honor Roll" it
was called. The mere sinking Of the ship
was pronounced an event "of no military
Importance" But the list of dead was
another matter. The Tribune saw in these
lost patriots successors to the men who
died in the beginning that America
might be:
"The men who died on the Antilles are the
successors of those who fought at Concord
and Lexington. Against darker tyranny,
in the presence of foe a, thousand times
more brutal and more cruel, they have made
their stand, offered their lives, that what
began at Concord may not perish, but en-
dure.
Beside the lists of battles like the Marine
and Verdun the casualty list of the Antilles
is mercfully brief. Unha2pily, We must ex-
pect larger hereafter. Yet to those who
give their lives first there is due certain
special tribute.

Others

seized the tragedy as eloquent argument
for making the loan a triumphant sue
cess. For example, "The New York
Globe" wrote:
"Who among US is willing to enter the
days of our trial without assurance that no
shame shall quicken grief and deny pride
when we read the news that is to come? The
men on the Antilles stood at their posts on
the sinking decks, eager in the presence of
death to strike a blow for their country, for
their fellows. Are we, in the presence of
all the joys of life, less willing to undergo
little strain? Are We that could nerve the
arm Of every American soldier, of every Bel
gian soldier, of every French soldier, of
every Russian soldier, of every Italian SOL
der, of every Serbian soldier, of every
Rumanian soldier, Of every Greek soldier
unready TO deny ourselves a little luxury,
little comfort, little fulness in life
and give freely, that every blow they
strike may count to bring righteous peace,
that no lives may be needlessly lost for lack
of all that should be at hand to make their
strength felt"

Another Case of German Murder on the High Seas

Immediately following the first report
that the transport had been sunk, with
loss of American lives, "The Washington
Post" urged:
"The people must support their govern
ment, and the government must strive for
teamwork among all the Allies, to the end
that Germany may be defeated at the ear
lest moment and beyond any possibility OF
recovering its power to waylay the world.
by their lives, their fortunes and their honor
the people must stand behind their govern
ment The fight now is as fundamentally q
fight for liberty as that which was so blood
lily fought and so gloriously won by the
ragged regiments of Washington. The United
States cannot remain free and independent
unless Germany is disarmed."
1.-The New York Telegram" pleaded for
less talk and more action, holding up the
sinking as horrid proof Of the still ram
pant German menace. Swift reprisal!"
it urged. 1t was time for America to
strike back, resolutely and with effective
vigor. There must be no more temper
ling"
The abolition of another type of tenn
PORTING was recommended by "The
Brooklyn Eagle" which wrote:
"The sacrifice of life on this transport
should stimulate all our efforts. 1t
should help sweep away that indifference
and apathy responsible for the liberation of
yelled sedition and treachery. II our first
bad news has such an effect, the men who
went down with the Antilles will not. have
died in vain"
But it provided also another text. 1t
led number of papers to demand that
better naval protection be provided for
transport ships in the future To "The
New York Sun" it seemed urgent that in
tensive patrol and convoy work such as
has been introduced in the U-boat zone by
Admiral Sims be expanded so as to make
less precarious the passage Of vessels
wherever underses peril may Turk.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-10-28

AT no distant date We may expect to see
American soldiers on the firing line in
France. They will not forget their comrades
murdered on the high seas; they will not
fight less determinedly because of the
slaughter Of the Antilles. Nor should we
others, at home, fail to find in this incident
new reason for resolution. The German sub
marines which murdered. our women and
children on the Lusitania are continuing
their murder, with our soldiers as their
victims.
"Our answer will come. Meantime, we
should remember always that it is just this
sort of murder that best expresses the mean
ing Of Germany in the world to-day. This is
the way the German fights; and since this
is true there can be no peace which does not
betray our dead until the German peril is
sbolished-until victory the field has per-
manently bsnished this German method from
the earth"
The sinking of the Antilles came just
at a time when the country was being
earnestly called upon to support the Sec
pnd Liberty Loan. Editor after editor
