C0ddling the Hun a Crime.

once more attempting to stir their pas
sive-resistent government to adopt
measures of reprisal.
The refusal to adopt such measures
which alone will carry hCme to the
German people full sense of their in
fanny in upholding the methods of
! barbarism, is nothing short of immoral
1t is a standing invitation to the Huns
to continue their unspeakable slaught-
cr Of the innccents.
Tie systematized and persist cam
paiga of assassination has been borne
without retaliation in kind quite long
enough to demonstrate to the civilized
world how reluctant is any self-re-
speeting nation to resort to such meas
ures But it has ais been long enough
to show tt the satisfaction Of any sane
man that the rules OF chiyalry which
govern the welfare of knightly gent e
men are merely Knocked and abused by
the brutal Prussian, whether at home
or in the field, whose instructive b God
lust knows no law but to kill.
II in cur own daily experience a
band of midnight marauders were
abroad, killing and destroying, night
after night. would We calmly wait un-
til we could summon the officers Of the
law and, with elaborate legal process,
entrap the criminals and summon
them before the court for punishment,
or, as safeguard for our sleeping
women and chi 'dren, would we shoot
and shoot to kill, as soon as we caught
sight of their brigand faces?
We hear much of these chivalric
motives which restrain England from
reprisal. Is it, in point of fast, true
chiyalry to expose #ngl sh women ana
children to the merciless raids o. these
arch fiends of the skies?
Is there any sanity CT common sense
in fsatinG barbarism with beatjtudes?
Is there any excuse for pursuing i
police which is solieitoHs for the mzal-
mouthed females Of Germany Who
spit upon the English wounded and,
