Officials do not find In the German
announcement or memorandum any as
surance that the American flag will pro-

II difficult 10 believe that Germany Will
permit the deliberate sinking Of neutral

vessels from resulting in the destruction

The rule is similar to that of land
warfare. II is based on two funda-
mental unwrltten laws--the law Of hui
mainly that forbids the killing Of nom
combatants wftneve. avoidable and
the law of necessity or military
exigency. A city or town occupied by
military forces or defended only by
trenches Is subject to attack unless
surrendered or evacuated. That such
places often are attacked and badly
shot to pieces you've probably had
occasion to see for yourself at both
fronts in this war.
Therefore 1t seems 10 be rational
that city or town having military
forces that fire upon aircraft or
mounts guns for that purpose Is sub
ject to aerial attack the same as II at
