HOSPITAL SHIP INFAMY

n HE sinking of the British
VI hospital ship Warilda,
which caused the death
of more than 100 persons, in
cluding many wounded SOL
iers, Red Cross nurses and doc
tors, was at least the seventh
crime of this character. The
torpedoing of such ships with
out warning began with The
Portugal, in April, 1916. Tur-
key admitted that she sank this
ship. Since then, six British
hospital ships have been sent to
the bottom, torpedoed without
warning by German U-boats.
These vessels of mercy, laden
with suffering and dying men,
with women who are universal
ly loved and cherished by all
save the kaiser's pirates; were
marked with the sacred Red
Cross. But the power that is
busy bombing hospitals so
marked on land appears to be
only actuated to display its
frightfulness by such a sign.
The submarine menace is
practically at an end, except as
against empty troop ships, fish
ing boats and hospital ships.
The wonderful U-boat, which
was to perform such feats- of
daring, has covered the Ger
man navy with dishonOr.
