BARAL0NG CASE
 PROBE REJECTED
(COntinued From First Page.)

! able the British proposal to submit i these three cases, together with the | Raralong case, to investigation by q | court of American naval officers. It 1 takes the standpoint that charges against mem bers of the German forces must be investigated by it's own com potent authorities, and that the per sons accused be given every surety Of an unprejudiced verdict, with just punishment where necessary. In the Baralong case it has advanced to the British government no request other than this, not doubting for a moment that court martial composed of Brit ish naval officers would int1ict suita ble punishment for the cowardly and-per- tidious murder
 This request was the more jUsti- fable because of the fact that the guilt of the commander and crew of the Baralong was stablished prac- t:cally beyond doubt by affidavits made by Americans, who are neutral witnesses, and submitted to the British government.
 No Further Negotiations.
 ''The manner in which the govern- laent has answered the German memorandum does not correspond in form and contents with the gravity of the situation and makes it impossible for the German government to nego- tjate further with the British govern ment in regard to this matter. The German government therefore, takes the ground, as the final result of the negotiations, that the British gov ernment under empty pretexts, has left unfulfilled the justified demands for an investigation of the Baralong case, and thereby has made itself re- spOnsible for the crime of defying in- ternatiOnal law and humanity, show ing that it desires no longer to ob- serve, in respect to German SUD- marines one of the first rules of war namely, to spare enemies 1ncapacl- tated for further actiOn-in order to prevent them from conducting war fare at sea in accordance with estab- lished international law
 "Inasmuch as the British govern rlent has declined to make amends for this outrageous incident, the Ger man government feels itself compelled to take into it's own hands punishment for this unatoned crime, and to adopt measures of reprisal corresponding with the provocation."

which shows so clearly Whittier's
very decided views on the slavery
question was 'sThe Yankee Girl

OF his longer poems, "Snow-Bound.'
After the reading Of the poem a
very interesting round table dis

instructive, as our critic not only
comments on the afternoon pro-
gram but touches on the other
poems and facts which have moi
been brought out and compares the
poet of the afternoon with the
poets of his time.
