One night recently several German
airmen bombed and destroyed several
hospitals behind the British lines, kill
ing hundreds of persons-Red Cross
nurses, sisters Of charity and wounded
men. There is no language sufficient
to characterize such a terrible crime
as this. 1t is simply another frightful
manifestation Of what they call "kul-
tur" over in Germany. One Of the
Huns who was captured said he did
not see the Red Cross sign flying
above the hospitals. This is indeed
fortunate, for If the Germans had
known they were attacking hospitals
they would have been more careful
than ever to SEQ that their bombs
dropped accurately. The Huns have
always regarded the Red Cross en-
olem as target rather than sacred
sigma OF mercy to be protected. 1t
seems that the only course open to us
is to wipe the German empire and it's
vile "kultur' off OF the map for all
time to come.

NEMnER or THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
How the Germans Treat the Red Cross

If any one has had a lingering doubt about
the heroic work of Red Cross nurses and at
taches near the battle line, let him read the ap-
pended clipping from dispatch of Philip Gibbs
to the New York Herald in which he describes
the dastardly bombing of hospital by German
air raiders.
One wonders how men claiming to be civil
lied can perpetrate such outrages and still face
the accusing damnation of their own consciences.
The last spark of manhood and decency seems
to have been extinguished in their souls. Men
who can shell hospital with bombs from the
sky have sold their souls to Satan for sight of
the carnage they can inflict upon helpless fell
low beings.
The description of the outrage by Gibbs fol-
lows:
It was Sunday night and very dreadful
and damnable thing was done by those German
airnen who took advantage of the moon. They
flew over to place which they had seen by day
many times, so that they might know it. 1t is
one of the British hospital camps. All the huts
there are marked out with the sign of the Red
Cross. The Red Cross flag waves above them
for any flying man to see.
The enemy should be perfectly familiar with
the look and purpose of this collection of build
ings and the lay of the ground in which they are
placed but in order, so they say, to destroy mill
tary works their bombing squadrons followed the
line of the railway and flung their biggest bombs
over this area with wanton careessness of what
might happen to men already wounded and
sheltered from further harm in the only sanctu-
airy which this war can give them-under the
Red Cross flag.
1t was tragedy of the most frightful kind
and by the work of those airmen, whatever their
excuse, the German people stored up for them
selves one more cause of hate which, after the
war; will close them around like high wall
against which the spirit of their race will beat in
vain unless there is great mercy in the world.
In many of those hospital huts in nearly all
OF them, were badly wounded men-men with
open wounds filtered by running water, men with
broken limbs suspended in sings and pulleys,
men so hurt that any touch or jar makes them
culver with pain.
That night the hospital orderlies who had
been tending them all day were mostly in their
own sleeping places. Only the night nurses and
attendants were in the wards, moving quietly
about keeping watchful eyes on the patients,
listening to that sound of breathing which tells
them so much about the state of each sufferer,
and bending over bed here or there to shift a
mans pillow or to say word of comfort to one
