GERMANS AND GERMS

The dayss contribution from Secretary Iansing's
filing case relates to the use of the courtesies Of the
American legation al, Bucharest by tho German diplo-
matte officials there for the purpose of secretly storing
explosives of the most deadly character, and of guam
titles of germ cultures of anthrax and CHAMBERS which
were to be used for the purpose of inoculating Ruman-
ian horses and cattle. While these things were being
on terms of friendship, and the German. diplomats were
enjoying the hospitality of the Rumanian government.
If one wished to catalogue the crimes of Germany
this incident would provide a neat list of items. For
instance:
The hospitality Of a neutral and friendly country
was grossly abused by the Importation under the i'm
munity granted to foreign representatives of articles
intended to inflict injury upon the government and the
Inhabitants of that country.
The confidence of the United States was abused
when. upon the taking over of German interests by the
American officials, that courtesy was used as a cloak for
the internal designs of Germans.
Anthrax and CHAMBERS are diseases which spread
with frightful rapidity, which are fatal in a very large
percentage of cases, and which are readily communicate
ed to human beings. The use Of cultures for the spread
of these diseases among domestic animals indicates in
another direction the reckless disregard of human life
which has characterized the German operations all
through the war, and which has been shown So clearly
in the sinking of hundreds of ships without giving their
civilian occupants a chance to escape.
The use Of poisons is prohibited by international
law. The germ cultures in this cases are far more dan
gerols than any ordinary poison. and their use is fresh
demonstration of the German conteHapt4for all law.s
At one time when the local water supply was not
what it should have been, and the people were warned
to boil the water before drinking, a small bow told his
companion that the water was not fit to drink because
1t was full of Germans" He seems to have come
nearer to the truth than his amused elders supposed.
