The Kaiser's message to President
Wilson:

| as the most eminent representative OF
the principles of humanity, that after
the capture of the French fortress
r Longwy my troops discovered thou
sands of dum-dum bullets which had
been manufactured by a special gov.
eminent factory. Such bullets were
found on the persons of the dead and

among the British troops. You know
what terrible wounds and suffering
these bullets cause, and that the use
of them is absolutely forbidden by the
recognized principles of international
law. ! raise therefore a solemn pro-
test to you against this mode of war
fare which, thanks TO the methods of
our opponents, has become one of the
most barbaric ever known in history. "

girls put out the eyes of defenseless
wounded soldiers lying on the battle.

table. Against all international law

the back with concealed weapons, in
the most cruel fashion. Belgian wo-
men cut the thFoats of soldiers whom
they had taken into their homes, while
the soldiers were asleep. England will

the persons OF French and English

opponents are conducting against u.s."

new German troops arrived, and like
their predecessors who, in the mean
while, had left Louyain, were quarter

rumor was spread that the English

greater numbers to shoot from the
houses at the Germans. The troops
