It is an American virtue to keep a cool head in a crisis. Germany’s mad act in sinking the Lusitania has developed a grave crisis. Let the American people, therefore, keep- cool heads, for only as they reason calmly can ‘they reason well. The sinking of the Lusitania was an act of war. It must accordingly be judged by the standards of war. From the outset Germany has violat- ed the rules of civilized warfare whenever it appeared to her advan- tage. The killing of noncombatants without giving opportunity to es- cape is on a par with her violation of Belgian neutrality, her use of poisonous gases and her poisoning of wells. But in the Berlin decree of Feb- ruary 4 Germany announced her in- tention of attacking without warning enemy merchants ships in a “war zone” covering the waters about Great Britian and Ireland. This was formal notice of Germany's abro- gation of one of the rules of civilized war. Nor must it be forgotten that Germany gave specific notice of her intention to sink the Lusitania on this trip. ‘What legal bearing has the Ger- man warning to intending travelers on the Lusitania? None whatever, if .the act of killing them was itself illegal. If you give a man notice| that at a certain time you intend to shaot him, you do not thereby justify your aet. As an act of war, Germany was Justified in sinking the Lusitania, for it was an enemy ship and it carried munitions of war, but she had no right to kill noncombatants without giving .them opportunity .to . reach safety. It was a brutal and ruthless deed, -demonstrating to the world that Germany means exactly what ‘she says. The amazing thing about Germany is her failure to understand the view- point of others, and. especially America. Here was an opportunity by chivalrous action to win the high regard of public opinion in this coun- try. Suppose, for example, German submarines had challenged. and stopped the Lusitania on the high seas, and had notified her commander that his ship would be spared this time because of its large passenger lst of noncombatants, but that on its next voyage carrying munitions of war it would be sunk without no- tice. But Germany sent more than a thousand innocents to the bottom with ‘a ruthlessness unparalleled. ‘Was there any “military necessity” for this? Whatever the argument| ' and“the quibbling about the rules of the war game, the act must stand as a great moral crime. It will so be judged in the court of world apinion. ‘To American travelers who through mere ‘curiosity or desire for adven- ture take passage on British ships for British ports, the Lusitania affair comes as a sharp warning. A con- siderable share of the American vie- tims-of German torpedoes had no real business on the Lusitania. They took the risk for ‘mo good reason. Even those who ‘went across in pursuit of their livelihood, might have- gone over in comparative safety under the American flag. These are -some of the considera- tions ‘that must be weighed in arriv- ing-at a just estimate of the Lusita- nia ‘dffair—Minneapolis Journal.

FORREST. serious in England as it is in France. A few days ago the British public was thoroughly startled by the an- nouncement made by Ronald Mec- Neill, M. P., that within a few weeks great numbers of unmarried girls in the vicinity of British training camps will become mothers. In one bo- rough alone, he declared, there were more than 2,000 known cases; and he added that this was by no means exceptional. Parliamentary leaders and so- ciologists generally are wrestling with the situation with the idea of ! modifying not only the legal cods, but public opinion so as to remove re- proach from the mothers, legitima- tize the children and provide ade- quately ‘for the maintenance of both. In the meantime, the military au- thorities are taking -better steps to safeguard young women:in the neigh- borhood of the camps. “It is imperative that this matter be dealt with at once by Parliament,” said George Lansbury today, former member of Parliament and England’s leading ‘“‘male suffragette.” No ques- tion is more important than this one of safeguarding the lives and future of these unborn children. ‘Everyone will agree with McNeill in his -sug- gestion that -collective and -co-opera- tive effort be made between ‘the state and. the religious .bodies. But we must not -expect teo:mueh of the churches. 'They have :their 'past teaching to- consider-and-also-the fu- ture, and although I think they might approve of reasonable treatment of both the young women and their children under present conditions, they are not likely to relax their moral code, and doubtless will be very desirous of keeping before the un- married ‘mother ‘the -enormity “of -her offense. “We shall need a ‘great deal of driving foree'by ‘public opinion to ac- ‘eept ‘the ‘view that these children should be ‘weleomed into the world ident Wilson to drop all business at’ laway.
