THE FALABA HORROR.
What VIII the Judgment Of Neutral
Nations BE?

To THE EDiroR OF THE SUN-Str:
The Germans had better have lost q
great battle in Flanders than have
sunk the British steamship Falaba,
with nearly a hundred passengers,
besides members of her crew, for the
judgment OF neutral nations will
swiftly condemn the wanton barbar-
ity. No nation at war can afford TO
provoke the moral indignation Of CIV
ilization, and this Germany has done,
through her naval officers carrying
u tho orders Of the Admiralty.
There is unfortunately too much
evidence Of the failure OF the captain
OF the German submarine to allow
many OF the Falaba's people time to
get into her boats before the torpedo
was fired. to leave any doubt Of the
ruthlessness OF the attack. He could
not fail to see helpless non-com-
batants. passengers and members of
the crew. crowding the decks, or fail
TO know that th.y would 20 to the
bottom with the ship. The work of
lowering the boats had not been com
p'eted. II Is no palliation Of the IN
fanny that the Talaba at first tried
TO escape after being signalled 10 stop.
Her lack OF speed soon showed the
futihty OF such a course and she
submitted 10 the inevitable. She Ard
no gun, n made no resistance.
Hitherto German naval officers
havo been credited with a desire to
allow the crews OF merchant ships
torpedoed a chance TO ave themselves
IN their own boats, thus observtnc
the precept Of international law quail
fed by the limitations OF Submarine
warfare In no previous case has
there been an unnecessary sacrifice
~ life. u was not bel!e we'd, even I'm
England, that passengers would be
sent TO the bottom with the ship. II
the sinking of the Falafla Is 10 ~ a
precedent. no liner on the Atlantic
passage car be considered safe from
such a fate. Submarine warfare
would extend 20 passenger as wei
as 20 freight ships. II IL TOO horrible

Government justify itself before the
world even BY the perverted logic tina,
