Story of the Lusitania
On of thm CautM of America'.
Declaration of War
A llttl over two years afo todays to hm
nut, Mar 7. 1916. tha clviliitd world wu
hoeked aa navar Iwfora when tha first
nawa of tha world' grcatsst arhna earn
ovar tha eahlaa from England. Gtrmanjr,
that wholeaala mtrrdcrar of tnnoeenti. that
arrogant dictator to tha world, had tor
ptdoad the mia-hty Lmttanla and sent ovtr
thoiMand souls to thtir wstary srava.
Hark baek two years and raoall tha In
eldants of that tarribla ttvgsdy. The vreat
ship had ittamed out of a neutral port with
Its thousand-fold human cargo. It carried
no armament; Its mission was a, peaceful
one. By all tha laws of custom1 and hu
manity that ship wss Inviolate, her passen
ejars were entitled to every right of travel
nd protection on the high seas.
Little did the passengers dream thai Ger
many would make good her threat to sink
the ship and murder tha passengers. The
very enormity of tha proposed crime made
it inconceivable; they rested, secure (n their
belief that no nation, civilised or barbarian,
would execute what the Prussian government
rashly swore to do. Although advance no
tice of her intention was given by advertise
mcnts In tha New York papers and anony
mous letters to those who had booked pas
sage, hundreds of Americans were not de
terred from making the trip. They went,
and three-fourths of the passengers and
erew were murdered by a U-boat.
Tha laughter of innocent children was
wafted out over the wevrs. The ary of a
fretful baby, but recently come Into the,
world and soon to go out, came floating
over the water. Mother's lullaby song at
bedtime that night was to be her last, Tha
German aubsea was to forever end their
Joys and sorrows. Under orders from his
govemont tha captain of the Ubost had
lain in wait for the ship. At dawn ha lo
cated his quarry, under tha protection of the
waves he maneuvered to a more advantage
ous position and waited for his prey. The
big ship cam an, tha word was given and
the slimy-nosed, murderous torpedo was sent
hurtling through the water on its mission
of death and destruction. Tha laughter
of tha children was heard again, then came
the explosion. A minute of incomprehension
aboard, than tha realisation, the terror, tha
horror, tha butchery and tha wantonness
of it
Like a thief In the night tha commander
of the U-boat dealt the- ehip Its death blow.
In defiance of all the laws of humanity
the shin was blown up without warning,
struck from behind, as tt were. Tha ship
rolled and wallowed in Its death agony,
settling lower and lower and lower. The
frrave-cold water reaching up and up grasp
ng the innocent women and children. Death
and desolation everywhere, The toll of the
U-boat that night was Mil dead, neutrals,
non combatants, with never a chance. '
There must never aa another Lusitania
horror, aevar anything like It agJ You
eaa help pnvamt it by buying a Liberty
Bond.
Blood-mad Frusslanlsm mtfst be wiped
out, The tragedy of the Lusitania epito
mised the ideals of Germany today, the
Ideals of Bismarck, the Iron Man, and Von
Bernhardt tha instigator of ruthless sea
murder. Today Germany stands unified to
commit murder on a vaster scale than ever
They are a people mad with Prussian fan
atleum, a people whose hymn is a hymn of
hate. Hera you have a concrete example of
what this nation will do, you know Its
Ideals, yon know It will stop at nothing.
This nation, this It the people we are
fighting today. Until Prussian autocracy
la enwh ed peace will be a myth and a mem
ory. America needs your help to defeat this
foa of mankind and the easiest way to five
It, the leaat you can do Is to help.
