the extraordinary announcement of The
imperial Gernon government that on
and after the first day Of February it
was its purpose to put aside all re-
straints of law or of humanity and use
its submarines to sink every vessel that
sought to approach either The ports OF
Great Britain and Ireland or the west
ern coasts of Europe or any of the
ports controlled by the enemies of Ger
many within the Mediterranean. That
has seemed to be the object of Gernla n
submarine warfare earlier in the war,
but since April of last year the imperial
government had somewhat restrained
the commanders of its undersea craft
in conformity with its promise then
given to US that passenger boats should
not be sunk, and that due warning
would be given to all other vessels
which its submarines might seek to de-
stroy, when no resistance was offered
or escape attempted, and care taken
THAI their crews were given at least a
fair chance to save their livs in their
open boats. The precautions taken
were meagre and haphazard enough, as
was proved in distressing instance at

and unman!y business, but certain

of their passage.
