PRE55 COMMENTS ON THE. SINKING OF
LUSITANIA BY SUBMARINE.
BELOW ARE BRIEF EXTRACTS FROM A NUMBER OF LEAD
ING PAPERS OF THE COUNTRY REGARDING THE
TRAGEDY.

voice. From, ocean to ocean there
comes a awelliDg chorus of de-
nnnpiation. coolly Stated, WlttOUt
a suggestion of bluster and with
no intimation of a desire to dic
tate to the President.
In many scores o' newspapers
the comments, aside from those
arjoearinc in the German-Ameri
can press, there is but one The
San Francisco Chronicle wnicn
nlnrps the blame for the ' Lusita-
nia's dead upon the shoulders of
the dead, for being, on the ship!
There is no division of. party in
this crisis.. Everbody except tbe
partisans of Germany,, through
blood or boodle," are unitea
and behind the Chief Magistrate.

THE PRESERVATION OF PEACE
The Washington Post.
There is a powerful influence
at the right hand of the President
insisting UDon the preservation
ef peace. Political considerations
require that tbe present adminis
tration 3hould keep out of war if
there is any possibility of doing
so.' The President, himself may
percieve that the honor of the U,
S. muft be maintained by force
of arms: and yet the peace party
may do its best to hamper the ex
ecution of a '- firm and vigorous
policy leading to war
Reticence and patience are call
ed for at this time. The facts
must be known before a just de
cision can be rendered, ' What
ever the United States does must
be based upon right and justice
Nothing is gained hy mere blus
ter" and angry denunciation On
the face of things, it appears that
Germany has - been guilty of (
crime against the United States
Let us wait until this is proved
or disproved. ' Then the people
of the United States will be found
standing solidly behind the Pres
ident in any action that ; he may
see fit td take to , maintain the
honor of the nation and the wel
fare of the people. -
FAITH IN THE PRESIDENT.
Atlanta Journal. t '
It.U too early to forecast the
sober ultimate conclusion of the
people of the United States or
this goverment. ' The horror of
the tragedy is too fresh and we
cannot at this hour 4hink soberly
and 'wisely on the duty of
the United States. Suffice it to
sav that th situation is graver
tii&rat any time since th war be
gan. What will be the outcome
nobody can foretell. But what
ever else may happen, the good
name, honor and dignity ol the
United States will be protected
We have abiding faith in in the
wisdom of the President. We
believe that he and his Cabinet
will meet tbe difficulties that now
confront us with wisdom, justice
and moderation.
DEMAND A RECKONING.
Atlanta Constitution. '
Our protest made to the Ger
man government at the begin
ning of the undersea campaign
was right; we should repeat it
now following the Lusitania hor
ror, in language, if possible, even
more emphatic; ' we should give
Germany to understand beyond
all question that we will demand
a reckoning and enforce that de
demand.
But that does not necessarily
mean war. The people of the
United States do not want a war;
thev have no desire to beeome
embroiled in the European up.
heaval, and conservative Ameri
ca will congratulute herself
that there is at the head of the
government a man who has dem
onstrated his capability in deal
ing coolly,, calmly and dispassion
ately with each individual inci
dent that has brought us into con
tact with the quarrel across the
Atlantic. '
The foregoing extracts from
a few of the leading papers in
the United States shows the true
feeling of the masses in this
country. There is a silent under
current of deep resentment
against the German, government;
and it would't b a tall surprising
that public sintiment would
crystahze to such an extent that
some drastis measure would be
taken by the President in retalia
tion for this wholesale murder.
Education at Home
(Washington Post)
I n discouraging Americans
from visiting Europe merely for
sightseeing purposes, the state
department is performing a val
uable service. The department is
right in deeming it inadvisable to
issue passports to persons who
have no other purposes in going
to Europe than to witpess the
horrors and destruction. ;
It will be far better for Ameri
cans to stay at home and see,
manv of them for the first time,
the wonders, of their own country
One of the-peculiar characteris
tics of Americans, at least in the
eyes of Europeans, is that com
paratively few of them are fami
liar with the scenic marvels of
their own home.
This is the chance for Ameri
cans to remedy tbe defect which
has caused comment in Europe.
Rismarch once remarked that
patriotism stopped, short of the
stomach. Doubtless that is true
but it should not only apply to
a question of education.
It is an educational opportuni
ty that has been given to Ameri
cans. The attitude of the state
department makes it fairjy cer
tain that few Americans will go
to Europe for pleasure purposes
A trip through the west by
nun and mnmpn will not Only
benefit the persons making the
.a r . .1 1
trip, but will benent ine nanon
as a whole, bringing about a bet
t.nr nmlP.rstAndini? and keeping at
noma millions of dollars that
formerly were spent in Europe.
Meaning in r
a Handshake
Whether a person realizes it or
not, there is a lot of meaning in
a handshake. .You can guage a
mVs character or a woman's
either more accurately in a
sinele brief meeting of the hands
than in a month of ordinary ob-
sftrvation of features and actions
t is possible to school the feat
ures into immobility, to guard,
even the . eyes windows of the
snnl' thoueh they are so that
thev will betrav nothing of the
thoughts that lie behind them.
But the contact of the hand re
veals everything. It is the in
stantaneous commingling of elec
tric currents which puts you 'on
the wire.' In a flash of intuition
vou see the real man or woman
with whom you are dealing.
There are handshakes and hand
shakes. There is the quick nerv
ous handshake, which means that
you had better say quickly what
you must say at all and
the less of it the better. There
is the effusive handshake, which
indicates that there is an axe to
ba trround and that you are need
ed to serve as grindstones. There
is t h e indifferent handshakev
which we all know , the insinuat
ing handshake which we should
all be a wary of; the caressing
handskake. which is sometimes
agreeable and sometimes the re
verse, and Ithe limp handshake,
the giver of which will seldom
prove a friend m adversity, some
times the limp handshake only
indicates timidity. '
There is the timid handshake
which is generally that of the in
nocent and confiding. And there
is the firm, kindly and magnetic
handshake, which heartens you
up when you are downcast and
sends you on your way with your
hpfid ud and a warm clow in your
heart. And the man or woman
with a handshake like this is the
man or woman that will make a
' rue friend.

The Highest Death Rate
From Typhoid Fever ,
(Prom State Health Bulletin)
"North Carolina is at the bot
tom of the list with a rate of
57.4," says Dr. W. A. Evans la
speaking of the typhoid death
rate of various states of the
Union- The average death raot
rom typhoid in this country, ac
cording to Dr. Evans, is 17.9.
If these figures are true, an I
they are taken from Govern mei t
reports, North Carolina has a
death rate from typhoid fev-r
over three times as high as the
average in the United States and
over eight times that of Vermont
The latter has the lowest death
rate from typhoid of any state t
the Union.
There may be mentioned two
conditions as slightly accountable
for North Carolina's high death
rate from typhoid, but they di
not alter the fact that she ii
needlessly sacrificing several
hundred deaths a year to thU
filth disease. The first is that
the figures were taken from tbo
cities and all the towns havinir
more than 1.000 inhabitanta.dTl a
typhoid death rate in cities may
not be so high as - that of tha
country districts, but that of tbft
small towns, vw)lere thero'is
protection offered by seweracru
and water works, is higher than
that of ru ral com m unities. Th
second condition is that 35 per
cent, of North Carolina's popu
lation is negroes, and tbe insani
tary conditions that exist from
their modes of living affect no lit
t'e the prevalence of the disease.
Whether North Carolina shall
tolerate this position and continun
losing her hundreds to this pre
ventable disease is the question
now at stake. This summer will
decide this question to a largi
extent. If the small towns and
villages are going to maintain in
sanitary conditions, breeding plac
es for flies, ooenback privies, un
screened food and polluted water
and if the state s citizens, black
and white, are going to refuse to
be vaccinated against typhoid.
North Carolina will remain at the
bottom of the list with the high
est typhoid ' rate. But if she;
chooses to clean up and toleratn
no such conditions, she can go
a long way in one surhmer to
toward reducing the rate and
stamping out the disease.
