ties on war and military usage require

upon city. The bombardment. con
tlnues the protest, is not preliminary to
military action, but is an act coldly cal

terror to the citizens by murder and
1ncendiarism. The Government protests
loudly in the face of the civilized world
at this useless barbarism, and concludes

Inhabitants OF Paris are undismayed.

butes the abandonment of LIE Mans by
