German Sub Men
Justify. Murders

London. Nov. 23.-Some of the men
on the surrendered German subs
were exceedingly anxious to air such
English as they possessed, while 9TH
ers suppressed their accomplish
ment in that direction with equal
care. One German officer. who was
inclined to be communicative, at
tached himself to the correspondent
and said he worked in London before
the war: He added:
GIoried in the Killings
II had an intimation, as many Of
us had, that we should be wanted in
the summer of 1914. so I went back
to Germany month or two before
war was declared. I was not in
the submarine service at first, but
volunteered for it and had a fair
share Of luck. You British say it was
not fair lighting, but we Germans
believe that the end justfies the
means. Then you complain that we
shoot your men while they are in the
water. Why not? The men might be
saved and fight US another day. We
should be fools to let them"
The crew Of one submarine, with
the exception Of an officer, were all
intoxicated.
