History of a Series of Attacks on American Lives in the German War Zone

President Wilson's note to Germany, written consequent on the
torpedoing by a German submarine on May 7, 1915, of the
British passenger steamship Lusitania, off Kinsale Head,
Ireland, by which over 100 American citizens lost their lives,
is dated six days later, showing that time for careful
deliberation was duly taken. The President's Secretary, Joseph
P. Tumulty, on May 8 made this statement:

"Of course, the President feels the distress and the gravity
of the situation to the utmost, and is considering very
earnestly, but very calmly, the right course of action to
pursue. He knows that the people of the country wish and
expect him to act with deliberation as well as with firmness."
