He passed the Pyrenees at the head of a numerous army, subdued the cities of Saragossa and Pampeluna, vanquished in battle the martial nobles of the Tarragonese province, carried his victorious arms into the heart of Lusitania, and permitted the Suevi to hold the kingdom of Gallicia under the Gothic monarchy of Spain.
The deck steward called their attention to a long line of lights stealing up from the horizon on their starboard side. "That's the Lusitania, sir. She'll be up to us in half an hour." They leaned over the rail. Soon the blue fires began to play about their masthead. Sogrange watched them thoughtfully. "If one could only read those messages," he remarked, with a sigh, "it might help us."
If you immediately refuse to have further parley or to yield one jot or tittle of your original Lusitania notes, and if you at once break diplomatic relations with the German Empire, and then declare the most vigorous embargo of the Central Powers, you will quickly end the war. There will be an immediate collapse in German credit.
Dr. dear. As for the Lusitania, it is an awful occurrence, whatever way you look at it. But Woodrow Wilson is going to write a note about it, so why worry? A pretty president!" and Susan banged her pots about wrathfully. President Wilson was rapidly becoming anathema in Susan's kitchen.
The act of the German ambassador in inserting an advertisement in a New York paper warning Americans not to take passage on the Lusitania, when the President had publicly asserted that they had a perfect right to travel on belligerent ships, was an insolent and unparalleled violation of diplomatic usage and would have justified his instant dismissal.
Caepio's great-grandfather, his grandfather, his father and his two uncles had all filled the consulship; and his own hereditary claim to that office had been rendered more secure by some good service in Lusitania, which had secured him a military reputation and the triumph which he enjoyed in the very year that preceded his candidature.
Churchill even went so far as to say that he had known it was the Lusitania all the time; that he could always tell her by her funnels.
The photograph was obtained bribery and corruption of the Orham photographer and, accompanied by a reprint of the Lusitania poem, appeared in the "Magazine Section" of the Sunday newspaper. With these also appeared a short notice of the young poet's death in the service of his country. That was the beginning. At the middle of that week Conway sent another dispatch.
They found their way up on to the windward side of the promenade, which was absolutely deserted. Far away in front of them now were the disappearing lights of the Lusitania. The wind roared by as the great steamer rose and fell on the black stretch of waters. Peter stood very near to his companion. "Listen, Sogrange," he said, "the affair is clear now save for one thing."
The sinking of the Lusitania poured oil on the flames, and the treatment of Belgium and eastern France added to the fury. The isolated mountain positions were only accessible to the bases of operations by these aerial cable cars. Italian statesmen, even if they had so desired, could not have withstood the pressure. It was a crusade for Italia Irredenta, for civilization, for humanity.
