LONDON, May 11.—Altho many insist war is the only so- lution compatible with Ameri- can honor, there is an increa’ ing tendency observable today, not only in the British press, but in public sentiment, to let the U. 8. handle the situation growing out of the sinking of the Lusitania in its own way. This change is largely due to appreciation of the tremendous burdens entailed by war, com- plicated by the problem of the German - American population in the U.S. It was pointed out that the Amer. should the U. allies. It would also require a year to organize and train an American army of sufficient strength to be of appreciable assistance to the allies. One of the most popular sugges: tions here is that if the U. 8. does S. decide to join the |not go to war, it should boycott Germany diplomatically. In this manner of dealing with — the kaiser for the loss of American — lives on the Lusitania, Ambassador — Gerard should be recalled, together with the U. S. consuls, and Ambas+ sador Von Bernstorff and other German representatives handed their passports, the English be F NOTICE! ||CUNARD ‘LINE uty 04) TH TRAVELERS intending to || tscomrornie Pint ot Quesrupe Tr an 4 intending to ||| tncomparat vlog ie duatate Gn the Atlantic voy end TwineRctew Seamonins age are reminded that a state war exists between Ger- many and her allies and Great Britain and her allies; that the zone of war includes the waters adjacent to the British Isle: ance with formal notice given by the Imperial German Gov- ernment, vessels flying the flag of Grea* Britain, or of any of her allies, are liable to destruction in those waters, and that travelers sailmg in the war zone on ships of Great Britain or her allies do so at their own risk.

It isn't ignorance, but something else terday I put the question to the keenest observer things in the British Isles, and the person best qualified by sympathy to interpret the workingman’s mind, and this was the swer: “In the firet place, the workers are not moved by the war because they have learned that war is not to their interest. They get nothing out of it. Next, In recent years there has been growing among them a conviction against all war. And next, they have been attending inter national conferences and congresses of workingmen, and now they revolt against the idea of going forth to shoot the comrades they have met.” You can perceive here the germ of a very better than stories of battles and skirmishes? This accounts for the thoughtful workingman The war was made by the governing class, It issue in which the working class has no material concern governing class affair, Let the governing clas attend to it The enlistments tell the story In Great Pritain military service is voluntary; in es nental country it {s compulsory upon all.: When the war broke Hritain had about 170,000 men under arms.

They are looking first after their own interests, as they had been taught to look by England’s caste system The comfortable and the well-fed are herrified because in such a rational crisis workingmen strike for higher wages and better convi tions, In the last four months there have been such strikes great enough to retard the making or handling of war munitions.
