| Summary: | Devoy speaks of the Lusitania and states;" I really believe that in the end the Lusitania will help us here. The incident has raised the question, why should American citizens sail on English ships when they have good American vessels to travel on? And another question is that of the humanity of carring passengers on vessels loaded with munitions of war.". Devoy also firmly believes the Lusitania incident will not draw the United Sates into the war. |
