Second Edition Sinking of the Lusitania.
“THE DAY OF RECKONING.”
United Press Association. (Received 9.35 a.m.) London, May 9,
Lord Derby, in a letter to the newspapers, says : “Within a few days Germany has committed two diabolical acts, only describable as murders: Firstly, poisonous gases, resulting Tn scores of painful'lingering deaths; then the sinking of the Lusitania, with the loss of many innocent lives. Britain no longer calls men to fight an honorable foe, but to join for the purpose of hunting down and crushing, once and for all, a race of cold-blooded murderers. Whether the men join the regulars of Kitchener’s army or the Territorials is immaterial; all will be present when the day of reckoning comes and a bitter revenge taken.”
