AMERICAN ATTITUDE.
NO CHANCE OF WAR.
NOTHING TO DO,
Washington* May 9.
Members of the Senate, closely in touch with Mr. Wilson, assert that there is no chance of the United States making war on Germany. One reason was that the United States was unable to despatch an army to Europe, and another was that the United States Navy would find nothing to do, owing to the British having bottled up the German fleet.
Mr. Borah, a member of the Senate, asserted that when Americans were killed and robbed in Mexico the United States regarded it calmly, and was unlikely, therefore, to do anyth ng in the face of a similar occurrence on the Lusitania.
SUGGESTED REPRISALS. SUPPLY OF MUNITIONS. (Received May 10, 8.-10 p.m.) London, May 10. The New York correspondent of the London Daily Chronicle expresses the opinion that Mr. Wilson will not ask Congress to go to war, but may notify Germany that upon a recurrence of the attacks on noncombatants America will withdraw every resEricGon hitherto placed on the simply of arms and ammunition, and will even facilitate it or she may withdraw the hospitality afforded German shipping.
