Copenhagen, April % (via
London). - Announcement was
made before the reichstag main
committee in Berlin yesterday
that Germany will adopt the
sharpest reprisals if German
prisoners are embarked on hos
pital ships of the allies and ex-
posed to the danger of torpedoes.
The sinking by the Germans of
the British hospital ship Lafranc
last week caused the death of fiji
teen German wounded who were
being transported to England.
The British admiralty announced
that inasmuch as the Germans
were sinking hospital ships with
out any regard to international
law, the distinctive markings of
these vessels had been removed,
and furthermore, that virtually
all the hospital ships had on
board German wounded who
would be exposed to submarine
attacks.
The French government an
nounced that on account of Ger
many's policy German prisoners
would be embarked ON Freich
hospital ships.

times her condition became aIzrr ing,
and frequently sought medical advice.

to bring relief.
In fact, she suffered 50 long and 90

everyone know what this medicine has
