THE LUSITANIA.

Fury in America. I’UESS ASSOCIATION —COPYRIOHT. London, May 12. The Times’ correspondent in New York says: —“America is ablaze with indignation and universal horror. This may force the Government to a declaration of war. The question is discussed in every part of America. No doubt President Wilson is firmly determined to avoid war if possible. He is anxious for the public to restrain their paroxysms of rage and give him a free hand to deal with the crisis.” The Times, in a leader, says : “ The full horror of the Lusitania crime is now revealed. It has stirred the people more deeply than any other murderous acts of the Germans. Never since the world began has the spectacle been seen of a whole race of many millions scientifically organised in wholesale murder, lust and devastation. American intervention in the war would not materially affect the situation, but we can legitimately ask whether a nation whose citizens are wantonly destroyed can continue friendly official relatione with a Power sunk in moral degradation. The latest massacre has stiffened a thousand-fold the resolute determination of Britain to avenge. The only way to restore the peace of the world is to carry the war throughout the length and breadth of Germany. Unless Berlin is entered blood will be shed vainly. However long the strife, such is the only permissible end.”
