SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT (Butte Post.) To the fact that there's nothing out of the ordinary taking place in either of the theatres ot the war in Rurope may be ascribed to the Lusitania inei dent. Viewed from all precedents, and there are many of them, there was nothing out of the way in that vessel's use of a neutral's flag in the presence of danger from an enemy. The fact is that no one appears to regard the incident as a possible breach of the proprieties. Just the same the dispatches contain exfend-rd exfend-rd reference to the matter From Washington comea the reminder that the United States fleet hoisted the Jnnanese flag in passing the forts at Guam. Tndeed. our own government has never regarded the LusiLinlR incident in-cident as of significance, and nothing bf an official or seml-offielal character charac-ter from V ashington about it could be bo construed. The experience of the Lusitania and the possible consequences, it is said are the sole topie of conversation conversa-tion in certain quarters in Great Britain, Brit-ain, but v ill not be long. There rannot possibly be any "consequences" "consequen-ces" because of U other than a lot of talk and that will cease just as soon as some real news from the battle fields or elsewhere develops.
