Il called attention to the fact that
this was merely the application on the

principles which when applied on land
had produced the innumerablc hidcous
tragedies that have occurred in Bel

Il said that not only our duty to hu-
manity at large. but our duty to pre-
serve our self-rcspect demanded in
slant action on our par, and forbade
all delay.
II can do little more than reiterate
what thus said. When the German
decree naming the war zone was issued
and. of course. plainly threatened ex-
actiy the type OF tragedy which has oc-
Cured. our government notified Ger
