A GERMAN-MADE EXCUSE.
TO ATTACK HOSPITAL SHIPS. TRANSPORTS UNDER RED CROSS. ADMIRALTY'S EMPHATIC DENIAL. (Received 2 p.m.) NEW YORK, November 21. A Berlin correspondent declares that it has been officially announced that since the English transport was submarined off Salonika others have been disguised as hospital ships flying the Red Cross Hag. The German authorities point out that seventy passed Gibraltar bound for Greece, and" that it was obvious from the number that they were really carrying troops and munitions. The British Admiralty's comment on this announcement is that it is absolutely false. Our hospital ships huve always been and always will be used in accordance with the Geneva and Hague conventions, declares the Admiralty.
