The official board of the Methodist

OUTLAW WARFARE
IS MURDER, HE SAYS
Admiral Stirling (Retired) }
Denounces the Killing Of
NoncOmbatants.

Specicl Despatch to Tnr NEW YORK HERALD
BALTIMORE, Nov. Redistribution OF
noncombatants by poison gases and
bombs dropped from airplanes and sink
ing unarmed ships with torpodces fired
by submarines without effort to save
passengers and crews are murder and
not warfare in the opinion OF Admiral
Yates Stirling, u. s. N. (retired).
Admiral Stirling said that on general
principles he was opposed to the use of
poison gases in warfare but If it must
be used he said it should, in his opinion,
be used only against armies and navies
and not for the destruction OF helpless
noncombatants.
The submarine, he said, should be
limited in warfare to attack on lighting
ships and chiefly then in coast defence.
",The misuse of the submarine was best
demonstrated. in my opinion" said Ad-
miral Stirling, when the commander OF
the German submarine U-53 came into
the harbor Of Newport before the United
States entered the war and then eank
several ships off Nantucket without any
regard for the fate of their crews
1--WE must remember that 1t was such
misuse OF the submarine that caused us
to enter the war against Germany. Our
chief complaint was that American citi-
zens were being killed while serving on
neutral ships"
Admiral Stirling said the use of such
methods Of warfare as the submarine
used against defenceless ships and the
spreading of poison gases to destroy
helpless noncombatants destroy all
traces OF chivalry and manliness among
warriors. .4s.t
"If there must be fighting" he said.
"let it be done fairly and gquarely and
with due regard for, the rights of the de-
fenceiess. Surely this cannot be done II
whole cities arc to be destroyed without
warning by dropping bombs from air.
planes or spreading poison gases from
which noncombatants have no means Of
escaping"
The Admiral pointed out that in past
wars even fortified cities were not de-
stroyed without sufficient notice through
which noncombatants were given the OPP
portunity to flee to safety. He said civ
liked warfare could not be conducted If
unfortified cities and helpless men.
women and children are to be destroyed
by bombs dropped from the air.
Admiral Stirling does not believe the
submarine or airplane can be entirely
abolished In warfare, but he does believe
their use can be limited to such an e,s-
tent that the humane principles OF COM
bat can be observed.
