GERMAN SUBMARINE.

SUNK BY THE BRITISH.

LONDON, June 9. Mi*. Balfonr, speaking in the House I of Commons, said that a German submarine had been sunk and six officers and 21 of the crew made prisoners. LONDON, June 9Mr. Balfonr, 'in announcing the sinking of the submarine, made a statement regarding submarine prisoners. Arrangements were being made whereby their treatment -would be identical with "hat of other prisoners. This did not indicate a change of opinion as to the character of the acts wherein the prioners were concerned. Their practices were not merely, a flagrant contradiction of the laws of war, but were most cowardly and brutal. They must remember, however, that the attacks on defenceless vessels were not the only violations of the laws of humanity of which the Germans were guilty. The Government was therefore of the ">irtion that the submarine problem could not be treated in isolation, and the general question of personal re sponsibility conld be reserved until the end of the war. LONDON, June 9. Two trawlers and a French barquentine were torpedoed yesterday. Their crews wore saved. LONDON, June 9The British collier Lady Salisbury was torpedoed off Harwich without warning. Sixteen were saved, while two are missing.
