which is expected to take the form of
the shooting of number of English
officers and men prisoners equaling the
number Of German submarine officers

sunk by the Baralong
There is little hope expressed that
Germany will meet Sir Edward Greys

junction with the charges made against
German submarines. 1t is stated that
II the controversy is carried further
Great Britain very likely will take the
stand that the affidavits Of the mule
teers provide Insufficient and unre-
liable evidence concerning the charges
made.
The Baralong case refers to the cir
cumstances alleged to have attended
the destruction Of a German sub
marine by the British auxiliary cruiser
When, 1t is charged, helpless members
OF the German crew killed by the crew
OF the Baralong. Affidavits regarding
the alleged killing were furnished to
