Simla, May 9. lhe use of gases by the Germans caused indignation throughout India, but the sinking of tho Lusitania has roused an indescribable feeling of horror. "TWO DIABOLICAL ACTS." MURDERERS SHOULD BE HUNTED DOWN. r j T, l • London, May 9. Lord Derby, m a letter to the news- ■ papers, says"Within a few days Germany has committed two diabolical ' acts, only describable as murders—first- ; ly, the use of poisonous gases, resulting ] in scores of painful, lingering deaths: now the sinking of the Lusitania, with i the loss of many innocent lives. Britain no longer calls for men to fight an l honourable foe, but to join for the pur- , pose of hunting down and crushing once for all a race of cold-blooded nuir- - derers. Whether the men join the re- ; gulars of Kjtchener's Army or the Territorials is immaterial; all will be pre- | sent when the day of reckoning comes, ; and a bitter revenge taken." 1 OUTSPOKEN DENUNCIATION IN 1 FOREIGN PRESS. "TERROR MEEDS HATE." London, May 9. French, Dutch, and Danish newspapers outspokenly denounce Germany's callous warfare against humanity. The "Journal des Debats 1 ' asks •whethor Germany is not seeking to set the whole world against her with a view to finding an excuse for her inevitable capitulation. Swedish papers express unanimous condemnation, even the Germanopliile i organ ' Nyadagligt" _ stigmatises tho ; sinking of the great liner simply because ] she was British as an unpardonable ; crime which will evoke a cry of horror ( and mdignatiou throughout the civilised ( world. Tho Norwegian papers express detes- ( tation of the crime. The "Morgenblad" f says: 'The Germans meant to terrify; ] they have terrified their friends, aiul terror breeds bate. German trade will feel this keenly, especially in America, when the war is over." i "THE CRIME OF THE AGE." Sydney, May 10. +i t . aW .>" in a leader on the loss < or the Lusitania, says it is none the less ; murder because it must bo attributed 1 to the Government and not to an in- s dividual. Tho result of progress and s science in Germany has been to arm her i soldiers with a weapon more cruel than t any in the annals of warfare. Once the t scalo of war is turned against them, 1 t;hev will find that a nation which sots t itsell above every law of humane in- t slinct has all mankind for its enemies, c The "Telegraph," in a loader headed t ''The Crime of the Age," says thai, the I Germans have openly flouted (he moral sense, of the whole world, and have pro- 1 ha bly come to the conclusion that, the I present, Government, of the United y States will never declare ivar on Gor- - many, no maltar *vhaf outrages r. hp commits, and therefore have no solicitude ?<m' fMtwtan;! ahwsd. the wwM will .uot be saliififid nor the principles of <

eternal justice be vindicated until the authors of the deed are brought to trial and to supreme punishment for the crime of wilful - murder. London, May 9. The Lord Mayor of Dublin is issuing an appeal for a relief fund. He says:— "The staggering news of the prearranged murder' of hundreds of innocent passengers caused an unprecedented shock to the whole civilised world, which stands dazed and horrorstricken before the stupendous atrocity. The monstrous, dastardly crime knocks at the heart of every individual." HANGMAN'S NOOSE FOR THE HUNS PASSIONATE PROTEST BY MR. HOI,MAN (Rec. May 10, 11.50 p.m.) Sydney, May 10. Speaking at the Premiers' Conference at Sydney, Mr. Holman, v-ho presided, referred to the outrage on the Lusitania. There could be no termination of the war, he said, no settlement which did not provide, for the handing over to Britain of the officers of the German Admiralty who promulgated the orders for tho destruction of an innocent merchantman and her passengers. '.'Tim fiends will have to be tried by British juries on charges of murder on the high seas, and if guilty the ultimate penalty of the law should be insisted upon." .The Conference adopted resolutions expressing detestatiou of the Lusitania outrage and pledging the several States to do everything to assist the military authorities in increasing the number of men for the front. Another suggestion was that every effort be made to send skilled workers to England to assist in accelerating the production of munitions. LATEST NEWS OP THE LOSSES (Rec. May 11, 1 a.m.) nf «, r • . London > Ma ? 10 - Ut the Lusitenia's passengers, 105 in the first-class were saved, 93 in the second-class, and 8 in the third-class. The only officers saved were the first and second, and also the second and third engineers. Mr. Hugh Lane, Mr. Klein, and Captain Stackhouse are still missing. A harrowing _ sight was-that of at least thirty babies laid out on the floor of <1 temporary morgue in Queenstown. though tho quickness of the disaster was some justification, people pushed into the crowded boats, despite the cries ot women and children. The first boat lowered contained the mails, which the steerage passengers capsized. Most of the collapsible boats remained fastened. When the boats on the starboard werg safely launched there was terrible danger owing to the superstructure slowly descending on them. The funnels and davits killed many, and also fouled several of the boats.
