THE LUSITANIA. DISASTER.
The dreadful disaster which be­
fell the Lusitania and snuffed out
the lives of several hundred inno­
cent men, womeu and children has
set more Americans to thinking
than anything that has happened
since the terrible war began. There
are some questions that are not
yet definitely settled, or in other
words, there are parts of news re
garding the Lusitania that have
not been verified. For instance as
to whether she carried armament
for her own protection; this with
other less important questions will
be learned later on. But all this
is not so important to the Ameri­
can public as is the question of
what the United States will do in
this matter.
Then again it is
asked by those who have made a
study of our floating force, ‘ ‘ what
can we do?” Germany will apolo­
getically say that she is sorry apy
American should lose his or her
life, and will argue that her war
zone was entered Then will come
the question as to Germany’s right
to establish a war zone around an­
other country against
neutral
vessels or vessels of opposing na­
tions with non-combatant passen­
gers. All these and many other
questions will be pondered over be­
fore the iacident is closed.
The United States is in no posi­
tion to go to war with any nation
and what is more she has no desire
to, We are a peace-loving nation,
but like all other nations we have
a few hot-headed citizens who, bad
they the power, would have this
country up in arms, but thanks to
the great majority those over ex­
citable individuals are not in
power.
The Lusitania was an English
ship, of the Cunard line of steam­
ers, was carrying passengers, a
majority of whom were citizens of
the United States and other neu­
tral countries, was subject to be­
