The most impressive fact about tha
raMonal crisis growing out of the Lusi
tania, as it ha« developed in Washing
ton, was the increased frankness with
which the Germans made situation was
discussed and the general adoption of
plain language and blunt words which
a few days ago Washington would have
hesitated to utter.
Following the receipt of the destruc
tion of the Lusitania the President with
drew into the quiet of his study, where,
unmoved by clamor and unswayed by
public emotions, he gave his untram-
melfd attention to the solution on the
problems confronting the nation and
the proper handling of which he is pre
eminently responsible. His remarks
at Philadelphia last Monday night,
before 4,000 newly naturalized citizens
of the United States, that a man may
be too proud to fight and that a nation
may be so right that it need not use
force to convince others that it is right

the President's determination to do
everything reasonable possible to avoid
of the famous machines for set- Germany.
