brought by tho German Embassy that

use of tho allies forces.
The German Embassy Yesterday re-
tcivcd from the Stat" department
lengthy statement. the result Of an cN-
animation of evidence and exhibits sub
mittcd by the embassy to the depart
mcnt The conclusion stated in tn" re-"
port is that none OF tho evidence or oX-
hibits submitted constitute proof Of tho
charge that these bullets are being made
in this country for sale to any of the
bellincerentS.
Officers OF the army and other Off
Gals are now absolutely satisfied that
none of the belliCercnts' governments is
making dumdum bullets or Count"nanc-
ing their use. There Is nothing to pre-
vent the individual soldier from con-
vcrting an ordinary bullet into a cruel
bullet, but such information as the War
Department has received from all its
numerous scourccs in the war thcaters
has indicated that there is very little IL
any of this conversion of bullets on the

in government circles here in the charges

with respect to the use of dumdum
