    MONDAY, MAY. 10, 1915.

    A NATION RUNAMOK.T H E N E W S that the week-end has broughtconcerning the massacre of the lAisitania'spassengers tends only to colour th:ifc crimeyet more deeply. Not one single extenuating circumstance has been brought to light.The tragedy is presented to history as acalculated murder on a scale that is appalling, and the " peaceful Germanpeople," of whom we have heard all toomuch, are found to be applauding the foulact of. the murderers.

    In the face.of a crime of this magnitudewe are at first numbed. In our revulsionat the brutality and cowardice of it al l weare unable to see clearly its utter baseness,an d we ask first of all what is the use of itto the Germans ?

    .In all crimes we look first for the motive.Germany, it would seem, has nothing togain by giving a hideous example to thewhole world of her abandoned and savagepolicy. On the contrary, she alienates anyremnant of sympathy that can possibly havebeen left among the neutral nations, withher causfe.

    Th e sinking of the Lusitania and thetaking of 1,500 lives wi'l not prevent the

    " sailing of other passenger steamers fromAmerica or any other country overseas toBritish ports.,. The outward bound "Atlanticliners sailed as usual on Saturday.

    The re ca n have-been but on e rootlve, andthat revenge. Ger many has cast every moralobligation to the winds in a blind passionof revenge against not only her enemycountries but the whole world that has daredto oppose her desires. A nation run amokiSj happily , an event new to history. TheGer man .Vampire is the first nation to claimthis unenviable description; it is the dutyof the world and of civilisation to see to itthat, her case be unique.

    It has been said often enough, but neverbefore realised in this country, that theGerman will stop at nothing. Her treaties

    - are worthless, her promises of no accqunt,her obligations non-existant. She is an outlaw rac,e among the peoples of the earth.

    She has made treaties probably >vithevery nation in the world.; but what reasonhas any,nation, after the events of the pastten months, to think that those treaties wouldever be respected? The German's word,spoken, written or implied, is to-day athing not w^orthy of onemoment's consideration; a Germa n's oath will go down to posterity as a byword for all that is false andcorrupt.

    For us our duty, is plain. It is not tota lk of reprisals ye t ; it is to put forth everyimit of strength that is in us to crush thisnation of assassins ih the interests of progress and humanity. Only. by crushing itutterly can we lay hold of the men-responsible for the filthy deeds that have beencommitted by,German arms.

    Somewhere in Berlin are~ the men whomust be made to pay the price. When theend comes, as it must, come, in victory forus and our All ies , we shal l be able to paythe debt which we owe to Honour andJustice.' The' men who ordered the violation of Belgium and all its attendanthorrors, the men who evolved the poisonedshells at Ypres, who ordered' the poisoningof wells in Africa, and who slaughtered1,600.innocent people off the Irish coastlast Friday,, n^ust be'put pri trial before aCourt of. JuE;tice to answer for their deeds..

    And -whatever sentence tha t Court maypronounce, tfpon however exa hed a prisoner,must be carried out. . ; - . .

    , And the',once great German people willcarry their share of the punishment'throughmany -generations in ihe execrations andloathings-of a disgusted and rememberingworld. C. H.

    LOOKINU THROUGH "THE MIRROR.TH E N EED OF PRAYER.

    THE LETTER from " F. M.W." in your paperyesterday on " The Need of Prayer," touched thetrue note, bu t your correspondent does not seemto know that the Chur.ch does "ca ll " most emphatically, and there are special prayer.'? andservices in every town and in most churchesevery day. If you can only rouse the peopleto make use of them, then, indeed, we mayhope for " the end of the war."At present, beyond a fewdevout people, thenation does not realise the need of unitedVrayer, and our dear boys must saciifiee the irlives forth e want of it. If only one relative of

    each ma n serving his King andcountry wouldcome, what congregations there woiild be and

    them down because of the serioiis loss to somauy artists, I venture to suggest to the Chancellor tha t the piibiic would not mindin fact,would probably appreciatea small tax on thetiieatre oi any other place of amusement ticket,football or the like.The sixpenny charge could bear haypenny,the shilling a penny, and upwards according.Those attending would have a clearer conscienceand the more the places were patronised thegreater the tax.

Above a l t th e world's notor ious murderers andcutthroats , the German rises sup reme . Historywill n o t fa i l to s e e he k e e p s h i s place.(E y Mr. w. K> Haseld en. )what a powerful volume ofprayer would go up.May I add tha t your paper can "help enormouslyin making this need felt. M. E. B.

    Ouildiord, May 7.WHAT CAN WE DO ?

    IN THEFACE of this enormous cxiine of theOermans in murdering tKe innocent passengersof the Lusitania the flrst question that arisesto an y decent ma n is : What can we do ? -I have heard in the past twenty-four hours ascore of suggestions put forward, yet none ofthem seems adequate. We cannot act withmediaeval barbarity by exacting reprisals fromGermans ip our hands. It isour duty to protectthem, is it not ? Yet one would fee! happier ifsome definite policy wer e projejsted- For my own part, I think that a.t least allGerman property in our Empire might be confiscated t o form a fund for the benefit of thedistressed victims of the Kaiser's murdererfleet. .-V , . - A N X I O U S .

    MAY.I point out to "Woman of Seventy" thathad there been only scrubbers and no womenwith business training to help with the increasedwork of the country wheji warwas declared itwould have meant not only a serious financialloss to the nation, but would have proved amenace to the health and comfort of our menat th e front. -

    " Cleanliness is next to gnclliness," but thsbeat scrubber could hardly have done the pubJicwork which women ha veboon called upon to doduring the last eightmonths. As tothe mucli-abudod poJit-ewoiiian, Iwish "A Woman ofSeventy " oould see a letter wliicl) waawritten bya coHunaudhig officerwith rcjjard to the worJtdone bythese women,

    I think there acemanywho will jigiee with mothat " A Woman ofSeventy" niighl have occupied her time more pio-fitably than in sneeringat women , who havpvoluntarily undertakenthe inoot difficult (andsoniettmoa thankless) taskof goarding our younggi rl s. WlRlfUKO UtOYES

    Bourdon-street, W.IT IS pleasing to findthat 30 many of yourreaders are protestingaganiat the unwarrantedand outrageous activitiesof theae self-appointed" policewomen," Thesea mi a b l e functionaiioaform, however, only oneexample of the mad desire to interfere with a ndteach their duty to otherpeople which, like anepidemic, is seizing largeniimbers of Itie population of this country , fromthe highest to the lowest." I shuiiM like to suggestthat, it a word to thewise does not suffice, tliebest way of putting anend to the nuisance of"p ol ic e women " and"women patrols" wouldbe by tlie organisation of'' anti - po !i c e wom e npatrols. " Theae patrolsiuight be composed bothof men and women,whose ijuainess it wouldbe to shadow "policewomen" in a quiet anddiscreet mannev ; to bringthem tobook shcmld theyexceed tlio hiw in thecourse oftheir "duties ";to afford .isHJstan'e tovictima who triiglit beoverawo.d by a displayof spurious authority,and generally to wa'chover lh(?ir behavioiir. Byreducing the methods ofthe "policewoman" toan absurdity the plaguewill be. brought to aspeedy conelufiion, Ifanevi A N L O W S .

    In years to come theremay be many a womanlook back on her youthparently do so that they may escape looking | a^id bless these "busy bodies," an d many who'llserious facts m th e face, so as to be able to m- regret not having given car to the "kindly ad-dulgo in racing, gambling, drinking, idleness -- . . . _ . _and in ceaseless pleasure.The pessimist at the present moment is onewho clearly foresees that unless compulsoryservice and the real mobilisation of the wholenation take place at once the war will last^anindefinite time and thousands of valuable livesand millions in money will have t o. be sacri ficed, with perhaps worse to follow. .
