No. A lot of people were shocked, but the Lusitania wasn't an American ship. It would require US merchantmen to start going down before Confgress would be ready for war.

Probably ends trhe war in 1916, so the most powerful voice at the peace table is Tsar Nicholas, seconded by the French and with everyone else looking on from the sidelines. Could end up making OTL look good.
