GENERAL
Is DEAD
as Afyisis - NT5 -sssf 80

Berlin, Dec. 22.-The death of Cen
eral Won Emmich, the conqueror OF
Liege, Belgium. is announced by the
Overseas News agency. He was COM
mander of the Tenth army corps, and
figured prominently in the early ev-
ents of the war, being commander Of
the troops which entered Belgium.
It was he who issued an appeal to
the Belgians not to resist the Ger
mans. The heavy loss of life suffer-
ed by his forces at Liege Is said to
have shattered the confidence OF the
general.
He fought. as lieutenant in the
Franco Prussian war. was made q

violated the recognized law Of nations
and entirely disregarded those humane
principles which every belligerent
should observe in the conduct of war
at sea. In view of these admitted
circumstances, the government of the
United States feels justified in hold
ing that the details of the sinking of
the Ancona, the weight and charac-
ter of the additional testimony cor
roborating the admiralty's report, and
the number of Americans killed or in
jured are in no way essential matters
of discussion. The culpability OF the
commander is in any case establish
ed, and the undisputed fact is that
citizens of the United States were kill
ed or wounded or put in jeopardy by
this lawless act. 5
The rules OF international war and
the principles of humanity which were
thus willfullv violated by the COM
mander Of the submarine have been so
long and so universally recognized
and are so manifest from the stand
point OF right and justice that the
government of the United States does
not feel called upon to debate them
and does not understand that the i'm
perial and royal government ques-
tions or disputes them.
The government OF the United
States. therefore finds no other course
open to it but to hold the imperial and
royal government responsible for the
act of it's naval commander and to re-
new the definite but respectful de-
mands made in its communication OF
