According to Mrs. Harrison K. Caner,

Is weighty enough or no compensation!
great enough to Justify a war.
"War Is Insanity," was tho way sho
phrased It, "and I cannot coneelvo oC
any cause that would bo great enough
to make me sacrlUce ono of my boys."
Declaring her absolute faith In Presi
dent Wilson, Mrs. Edward Piddle, mother
of Anthony J. Drexel Diddle, nnd n wide
ly known suffragist, voiced a strenuous
disapprobation ot wnr.
"I am with tho President." she said,
"and have faith In his statesmanship,
but I bollcvo war would bo tho most hor
rible. Jhe most shameful thing that could
happen to us."
Mrs. S. Snowden Mitchell, however, tho
descendant of a long line of lighters, al

that peaco at any prlco might ho far too

GERMAN SUBMARINES
WfcLSiNKMAURETANIA,
SAYS BERLIN OFFICIAL
Nothing Will Deter Kaiser
From Continuing to
Wage Relentless War
Against British Enemies,
Is Assertion.
NEW TORK, May 14.
A special dispatch from Berlin to the
Now York World says:
"Tho Mauretanla or nny other British
liner will bo torpedoed, ounk nnd
meet the samo fate as the Lusllnnla
If our submarines- enn reach them;
and that they can has been demon
strated. Wo will continue to wage wnr
against England with tho same relentless
ncss and rcmorselessncss with which she
Is waging against It.
"Nothing will deter us from that;
nothing will cause us to deviate from that
course, except England's own action."
Thua declared a high German Govern
ment ofllclal to mo today, when 1 asked
what tho future submnrlne policy would
be.
"Germany unaffectedly regrets and sor
rows over tho loss of so many 'neutral
lives on the Lusltnnla, but the responsi
bility rests wholly with the British.
"Admiral von Tlrpltz told you In De
cember that Germnny did not wnnt war
to tho knife, but England would havo it.
A nation that Is fighting for Its very ex
istence against so relentless and temorsu
less a foe as Germany Is lighting, also
has a duty to perform to Its own women
and children and noncombatants, and that
Is to fight for them with every means at
Its command."
ills Jaws came together with a click,
and the look on his face made me think
of a man with his bnck against the wall.
With the Italian wnr cloud looming
black ani foiobodlng on ono side, deep re
sentment of feeling against America on
the other, with German soldiers fight
ing from Switzerland to the North Sea,
Llbau on the Baltic to the Carpathians,
German troops massed on the Rumanian
nnd Itnllnn frontiers, wnltlnu tho deci
sion of those countries, fighting In Tur
key nnd on the Serbian fionts, Germany
absolutely Is calm.
En route to the Dardanelles, I rushed
bnck from Bucharest on hearing of the
Lusltanla, expecting to find excitement
and Americans In full exodus.
Much to my surprise I haven't seen
Berlin so cnlm since tho beginning of the
war. The composure and cnlmness Im
pressed one almost its icy, pnd In the cir
cumstances unnatural. This is so pro
nounced that even Americans have little
worry about u possible break between
America and Germnny.
So far as the embassy is aware, none
of tho American colony, which still num
bers several hundred, has left or Is pre
paring to leave. I found Ambassador
Gerard somewhat grave, but not ex
cited, seconding President Wilson's
efforts. He expressed confidence that
President Wilson would find a course
without a diplomatic rupture. Ambassa
dor Gerard was anxious aboyt the fate
of his private secretary, Rlvlngton Pyne,
who was to have sailed on the LuBltanla.

GERMANY BOUND BY TREATY s
TO PROTECT AMERICAN LIVES
Document of 1828, Cited in Note to Berlin, Shows Kaiser's Duty
to Safeguard United States Citizens on Neutral Vessels.
Oernmny's obligation to respect the
property nnd lives ot citizens of tho
United States, according to the treaty of
1M8 between tho Kingdom of Prussia nnd
the United States, which treaty Is cited
In the noto to tho Kaiser and Incidentally
was ratified by tho Senate of the United
Slates on May 14, Just 87 years ago to
day, Is clearly ahown In the following
excerpts from the treaty Itself.
The document was signed by Henry
Clay for the United Stntes Government
nnd by I.udwlg Nelderstetter, Charge
d'Affalres, for the King of Prussia. It was
proclaimed on March 14, isn.
Concerning tho neutrality of vessels,
Article 12, which was revived from tho
Treaty of Amity and Commerce of 1TS5
and Included In tho treaty of 1S2S, the
latter document says:
"If one of the contracting pnrllen
Hhnultl lie engaged In trnr trltli nny
other Power, the free Jiitercourae nnd
commerce of the subject or clllrrnii
of the pnrty rcnmluIiiK neuter with the

soldiers In actual service of nncli
enemy."
As to tho shipment of munitions ot wnr
by either country to nn enemy of tho
other, which munitions partako of tho
nature of contraband. Article 13 of tho
treaty of 1799, revived by Artlclo 12 of tho
treaty of ISM, spcclllcnlly states.
"Anil i the mime ense nf one of the
contracting parties being engaged In

United in Saying Message Voices
Views of Nntion.
NEW YORK, May 14.
New York newspapers, without excep
tion, had only praise for President Wil
son's note to Germany.
The World said:
President Wilson's note to Germany
fip" ot fall to satisfy tho highest expec
K; 3 of tho American people. There
B? no mistake whatever as to his In
to, is and purposes of the American
Government."
The Sun: "Tho President has spoken
firmly. Tho country, supporting him ns
firmly, awaits without passion the Ger
man reply."
Tho Times: "To President Wilson's com
munication, addressed through the Sec
retary of Stato to tho German Govern
ment, every American citizen would be
willing to affix his signature In approval
of its firm but temperate tone nnd the In
disputable Justice of Its representations
nnd demands."
Herman RIddcr, In Staats-Zeltung:
"There has never been but ono flag under
which the German-American has fought.
There never can be but one flag under
which he will ever tight. And that fla3
Is tho Stars nnd Stripes."
American: "The President's letter Is
undeniably vigorous, but Is possibly dan.

ing to Article IS of tho Treaty of 1799,
which Is revived In tho Treaty of 1523.
The portion governing this rends:
"And to prevent entirely nil disorder

vived In the Treaty of 1823, even obliges
courtesy to the subjects of cither party
who nro on board any vessel which be
cause of tempest or other accident takes
lefugo In nny port within tho Jurisdic

"If the citizens or subjects of either
party, In danger from tempests, pirates,
enemies or other accident, shall take
rcfugo with their vessels or effects, within
tho harbors or Jurisdiction of tho other,
!he shall be received, protected nntl
treated with humanity and kindness "
The safety of vessels bound for block
nded ports la provided for In a portion of
Artlclo 13 of tho treaty of 18JS. which
reads ns follows:
"Considering tho remoteness of the re
spective countries of the two high con
tracting parties, nnd tho uncertainty re
sulting therefrom, with rospoct to the va
rious events which mny tnko place, It Is
agreed that a merchant vessel belonging
to either of them which may be bound to
a port supposed nt the tlmo of Its de
parture to be blockaded, shall not, how

HEIRS ABANDON HOPE;
WILL DIVIDE ESTATES
Lawyers Say Oath of Sailing on
Lusitania Sufficient to Prove
Death.
The abandonment of hope on the part
of relatives of Fhltadelphlans on the Lu
sltanla that any of those listed as "miss'
Ing" eventually would be found saved
was made evident today by preparations
for settlement of estates of tho dead.
In regard to tho legal length ot tlmo
a relatlvo must wait before tho legal pre
sumption of death Is established, so that
letters of administration may be taken
out, lawyers said that letters could be
taken out after the applicant had proved
that the decedent booked passage on the
essel and had sworn to his death. Affi
davits from abroad are not necessary.
With only six mors bodies recovered
yesterday, according to tho English re
ports, It Is surmised that tho missing ones
wero carried down with tho Lusltanla,
with little likelihood of the bodies ever
being recovered.
A cablegram to the Philadelphia Na
tional Bank said there had been no traca
of the bodlos of Harry J. Keser, a vice
president of the bank, nnd his wife.
Alba D, Johnson, president of tho Bald
win Locomotive Works, received a cable
gram announcing that the bodies of Wll
11am S. Hodges, his wife and their 0-year-old
son wero not among those recovered.
It was said there had been no verification
of the report that 6-year-old Dean Win
ston Hodges hnd been saved.
Tho body of Stephen Crompton, the eld
est of tho six children of Mr. and Mrs.
Paul Crompton, of Chestnut Hill, has
been recovered. The entlro family per

Suits
at
$15, $18, $20
Then, indeed, Perry's
have the Cream of the
Country in the fabrics in
our Suits at these popular
prices !
And we speak
by the card!
For, eight or nine
months ago when this sea
son's needs had to be,
planned for and provided,
we were practically alone
in our faith in the future,
iwith the courage to ex
press that faith in the
largest orders we ever
gave our American mills!-
In our isolation as buy
ers, we had first and finest
pick, besides 'purchasing
our cloth in a bottomless
market.
In consequence of which
facts we have in these $15,
$18, $20 Suits today such
values as would by most
men be heralded as EX
TRAORDINARY BAR
GAINS, had THEY had
the courage then or the
opportunity now to secure
them!
Since early last
prices for woolens
Fall,
have
soared, while values have
fallen off under stress of
capacity looms filling for
eign orders; so that the
likes of these Suit-fabrics
are not in America today
at fifty-per-cent higher
prices!
Add to which, the
further fact that the cut,
the character, the style of
Perry tailoring give these
Perry Suits an artistic ..
value possessed by no
other clothes!
Put us to the proofs!
today and tomorrow!
