found in that place thousands of dunn
dunn bullets which had been manufac-
tured in special works by the French
government. Such bullets were not
only on French killed and wounded
soldiers and on French prisoners but
also on English troops. You know
what terrible wounds and awful suf-
fering are caused by these bullets and
that their use is strictly forbidden by
the generally recognized rules of in
ternational warfare

the way in which this war is being
waged by our opponents. whose meth
