whence they came.
THE PROTECTION OF THE UNITED STATES.
AS q last resource the Germans considering them

peace have regularly appealed for a pisa to Mr..
John de la Montagnie. the American Consul at Bou-
logne, by whom they were informed that even sup.

stock OF humanity leit on hand for the relief Of tie
victims OF the war, whether they be French or DER
