Every neutral nation in the world must join with Holland in condemn- ing this bit of trcachNrOuS work. Whether the Tubantia WAS blown up by mine or torpedo is not known. The medium makes no difference. Tine fact is the act was accomplished. and again@t all law and order. The ship was q neutral ship in every SCnsc of tho word. It carried no vontraband of war. More to tho point. ii had aboard no guns for offen>e. 1t re- ccived no warning.

It matters not to them whether a ship flies neutral fag and therefore friendly flag
