EXCULPATOR’S SEASON OVER.
Ih’us “New- York Life” on Germany s responsil,ility for the sinking of the Lusitania: “Even the German denials of it hereabout were faint. Yicrock, in the Fatherland, felt the crushing need to say it was not so,* but there was obvious perfuiictoriness in his denial, and evidences of realisation that the sinking of the Lusitania marked the close of the German cxculpators’ season in tlie United States. “They are all done now. Yon Bernstorff saw the game was up. and went .- ry sensibly into retreat. Dorn burg
babbled on and lost what reputation tor gumption lie had-left, and used up th<* last shreds of Jus welcome; the Rev. Thomas Hall gave, final evidence o: his amazing obsession; all of them went down together with the forty babies on the. Lusitania. “Really, the strain on Germany is
horrible. 'There was a dinner to he given by American naval officers to the officers of the two interned Genian warships. It was dropped like a shot when the Lusitania sank. These officers are personally innocent of that '.rime, hut von Tirpitz has destroyed th ’ honorable standing of the ib rni-Mi navy. Men who take tins order can no longer rank as gentlemen.”
