' Lord Reading, as Sir Rufus Isaacs,
| was Lord Chief Jusiice of England
before being elevated to the peerage
L.ord Reading issued the following
statement tonight:
“My first thought upon arrival is of
the loss of life on the Tuscania, re
ported to us while we were at sea.
May | pay my very respectful tribute
of honor to the gallant men who made
the 'dupreme sacrifice for their coun
try's sake and express my profound
sympathy for their relatives?
“I am glad to find myself once
again, for the third time since the be
ginning of the war, in America. It is
barely three months ago that I sailed
for England, and [ return this time
charged with many and varied duties
which | should scarcely have had the
courage to undertake had I not known
from past experience that my Qov
ernment could implicitly rely upon
the cordial good will of the American
people and their complete co-opera
tion with the Allies in all measures
necessary for the vigorous prosecu
tion of the war

'May |, nevertheless, he permitted to
:sny that the recent pronouncemeéents
‘upon war aims of your President and
‘the British Prime Minister, which are
substantially in accord and are ac
cepted by the Allies, have been re
ceived in complete unanimity by the
British people. You know how vastly
the answers of the German Govern
ment have differed from their profes
sions when eatering into the nego
tiations at Brest-Litovsk. But those
utterances have now left no shadow
of doubt that the German Govern
ment Is waging this war for conquest
of nations and territory and for mili
tary domination of the world. There
can be but one answer for the free
and democratic nations united 1n the
struggle against the common enemy.
It is to continue to resist this attempt
at military despotism and finally to
bring about a just and lasting peace. |
Such peace aione will give xw,urlt)‘l

and justice for all the nations ‘

tenacity, They are prepared to en
dure whatever suffering or privation

Elections on February 24 May
~ Show- Resentment of Ger
many's Sinking Vessels.
(By Intarnational News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—The sink
ing of the Spanish steamer Sebastian
by a German torpedo, before Berlin
has replied to the note of Spain pro
testing the sinking of the Giralda a
week ago, may have an important ef
fect on the general elections in Spain
on February 24. This is the unofficial
view here tonight following the re
ceipt of a report from Madrid telling
of the sinking. Neither the State De
partment nor the Spanish Funbassy
would comment on the report offi
cially.
“All of the crew of the Sebastian, &
4,600-ton steamer bound for New
York, are reported saved. The report
to the State Department 18 that Spain
on the whole had carefully followed
the principles of neutrality despite
various protests which have from
time to time been lodged against the
uses to which submarine commanders
have put Spanish harbors.
The action, of Germany in extend
ing her rithless warfare to Spanish
ships is taken to indicate that any
change as the result of the coming
elections will be distinctly in favor
of the Allies. It was stated here to
night that no definite break with Ger
many by Spain might be expected un
til after the elections are held. |
